At this point, I want all the people saying the stupid DoOmErS shit to shut the fuck up. Team is just not going to beat a red hot team like this just understand that. It was over after the two home losses, fight me. Nobody is saying the Canes are bad or doing bad its just simple that the Panthers are on a whole different level right now, it’s basically destiny at this point. We need goal scorers. CANES PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!

It’s not like we’re not trying out there. We’re doing everything we can, we’re just not coming up with anything and Bobrovsky’s playing out of his mind. You can try as hard as you can and still fail, that’s just how things go sometimes.
That said, the series isn’t over yet. The Canes are still fully capable of turning things around, Florida’s hot streak is fully able to turn cold, who knows. Gotta play the games.

Tbh, in game 2 we should’ve started running at Bob, but the second best time is now. Every player who has an opportunity to carry the puck toward the net needs to do so and if you happen to run over the goalie, well that’s too bad.
It’s low, it’s crass, but do you want to be nice or do you want to come back from 0-3 and try to win a cup? Sergei Bobrovski needs to be shook. If we don’t, I think whoever they see from the west will. You must disrupt that guy, and just doing it honorably by getting dudes in front of him isn’t enough. Take the retaliation, but you must throw this guy off his game or it’s time to hit the links.

Team needs to take risks defensively to get the offense to do something.

That’s the frustrating bit for me. We’ve been the better team for like 85% of this series. We’ve thoroughly outplayed this team at times. And yet we’re still going to lose this series handily because Bob is playing better than any goalie I’ve ever seen play in all my years watching hockey. It’s insane.

The answer is simple and it’s been in front of the GM and front offices of the hurricanes for about 5 seasons now, there is NO definitive goal scorer there’s no superstar player on this team are there all stars YES absolutely many in fact, but is there one person who you right now without a doubt you could say YES if he had a breakaway he would score! Right now there’s no one person on that roster I can say that about, AHO MAYBE and that’s a strong maybe as he’s my favorite. This was very hard to swallow for an seasoned fan. JS GET IT TOGETHER

So if you use .900 as the benchmark save percentage separating “acceptable” goaltending from sub-par, we should have scored 6-7 goals over the last two games.
Ok so say you’re playing Linus Ullmark who had a .938 sv %. We *still* should have scored something like 4 goals by the numbers. We scored one.
That’s the issue right there.
We’ve beaten Bob several times this series, but most of those times we hit the post.
It’s a game of inches, a game of bounces, and we aren’t getting them.
We’re doing everything right save for beating Bob and the post.

I said it before but I really don’t see an easy answer.
Not one that’s doable now and not one that would’ve been a long term solution.
The canes have been beating the panthers as a team and have attempted all manner of offensive styles to get goals but it isn’t happening. Bob is pretty unbreakable- and we have tried the spectrum from “I don’t care, just got net presence and we will get the puck on” to “our best players will get several 1-1 or 2-1” chances.
We will see how Game 4 goes

Just getting out goalied, that’s it. And boy does it suck

There is no better proof of the amount of luck involved than Slavin being involved in the plays for ALL THREE GWGs. I would have never believed it without seeing it.

He’s right. Not much else you can do. Team has played their butts off and the other team has gotten all the bounces. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Sounds like a defeated man
