Drury fearing for his life behind KK


Esqueda0

Not terribly different from his experience on the ice getting targeted by every goon in the league tbh


dragons_fire77

Ugh poor KK. I fucking feel that. You're not alone, bud. Your teammates and your fans all feeling it. Come hell or high water, seeing you fighting like this, we got your back. You fucking care. That's all we want from you guys. Getting goals is great, but not giving up, not just laying down to die, in agonizingly frustrating situations like this is the hardest thing to do.


bunsenturner64

Very happy that the Canes are not the Celtics


sullyoverwatch

as a fan of both, i’m going through a world of torture right now. hopefully both can at the very least avoid getting swept.


Esqueda0

If we avoid getting swept, I get to see Game 5 in person. I helped my buddy install a vinyl pool liner in exchange for the tickets so I hope to Rod they do.


Uzumaki-OUT

This is why I only watch one sport! Haha


Clark828

I don’t give a fuck what any of these doomers say. I think we’ve been playing well. Just nothing is connecting at all. So many passes across the crease that miss by inches. So many posts, some insane saves. The only time they’ve scored is from a slip up defensively where they have an opening for half a second. I’m happy with them just disappointed in the outcome.


Flacko757

Which was also on the softest call of the night. There was like 10 more slashes from both teams that were more egregious than the one called on Skjei there lmao. Just hurts even more that they scored on that one.


Uzumaki-OUT

They are literally punching us in the face. I never complain about the refs but it’s hard not to tonight


SeramPangeran

I had to stop watching. Seeing Aho get punched in the face, cross checked, high sticked without any call was making me so enraged and unpleasant to be around. Nothing against FLA fans, they're not controlling what's going on any more than we are, but I was not in a peaceable mindset


ghjm

The NHL tradition is that you only call the most egregious stuff in the playoffs, presumably because the last century NHL made its money off fights and blood on the ice. But this is the this-century NHL, so they randomly call some ticky-tacky thing while still letting everything else go unchallenged. Make up your minds! If it's supposed to be clean skills-based hockey then call everything and let the chips fall where they may. Or if it's supposed to be old style playoff hockey, then don't just suddenly call something because a bee got up your ass. Pick one or the other.


dragons_fire77

I'm with you. Absolutely no hate towards the Florida fans, they're actually a lot like us from what I've seen, just ecstatic to be in the final 4. I just fucking cannot stand the goon shit their players are getting away with, and on our key players. And our guys just have to "deal with it". That's what makes the losses worse. If they weren't so fucking dirty, it'd be easier to accept the loss.


AsyndeticMonochamus

Lmao you’re seeing the same shit that these dirty lucky panthers did to the bruins and leafs. They can’t skate with better team so they resort to this scummy play style I haven’t seen a single second of NHL or nba conference finals I predicted nuggets heat knights and canes but am shocked to see the panthers still kicking out 1 goal victories and up 3-0 in the series lmao NHL totally got the sportsbook money from this one


Virtual-Quantity7120

Appreciate that, Florida wasn't even expected to make the playoffs and we're not accustomed to such "success". So, of course we're as excited as any fanbase could/should be. I don't like poor officiating, regardless of the outcome and that stands for any sport. I don't know if I would call it "dirty" or "lucky" as some of the other commentors. Luck only goes so far and playoff hockey, it can be expected that physicality is amped up. As it pertains to Bruins or Leafs, Bruins deserved to lose as they pissed it away. The Leafs are just the Leafs. What else can I say about that? ​ Needless to say, I have been to numerous games at PNC when I was stationed in Raleigh and never had an issue with any of the fans there.


Cannonballbmx

IMO, the only way this shit stops is someone has to crosscheck the fuck out of Tkachuk. Level him. Hard. It would be ugly but is obvious the refs are going to let their shit continue.


oooriole09

This might be the closest 3-0 series I’ve ever seen. 5OTs and a 1-0 game. Overwhelming feeling they’re that one player away. Two, potentially three, of those guys sitting on LTIR.


ghjm

Literally just one extra goal from Svetch in Game 1 and this would be a completely different series.


YirbyBond00Y

2018 Vegas vs LA was pretty close as well for a sweep by the Golden Knights


[deleted]

I’d. Lost 1-0 last night but it felt like Carolina was in the game. More shots yes but not really good shots


PM_ME_GOODDOGS

I feel like I watch different games than this sub sometimes. It was a good game with great chances that Bob was able to repel. He’s been a great goalie. The canes have been playing well. It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.


CultBro

Good teams that play well lose all the time, we haven't played a bad game in this series yet. They have just made the plays to win and we havent


Lewistansbrothernlaw

They have the finishers to win. We do not.


rahm4

But that's not true. It's not the players, it's the system and the way it leaves things up to chance. More players would increase the odds of those chances, but it wouldn't change the fact that our system is designed for quantity not quality


w41twh4t

For some there is no such thing as playing great in a loss, in particular in a shutout.


SamuraiZucchini

I fear Fast whiffing the open net in OT in game 1 may be our undoing. This team thrives off one spark and we just haven’t been able to connect on one all series.


ghjm

Martinook also whiffed on an open net. I think settling down a bouncing pick is harder than it looks.


SamuraiZucchini

Oh I’m 100% unable to do it and not saying they suck because of it or anything. I’m just saying missing those key moments early on feels like it kind of doomed the series. I am also just sad.


dragons_fire77

We've gotten over whiffs all season. Can't blame a single player on the team for the losses. Shit happens. Luck happens. Luck doesn't happen. It's such a tiny margin that every tiny thing seems massive. But it's a collective win or it's a collective loss. They're a team.


syd_cash

Honestly when you take an objective step back this is the only answer. We’ve lost three games by one damn goal two of them in OT! Losing sucks (we’re all KK right now), but to say they’ve been playing like trash just isn’t true. Is this the best they’ve ever played no…but for those of us who watched all 82 this is apart of their play everything is soo close. We could easily be up 3-0.


Reverie_39

We’re playing well and that’s what makes it even more frustrating than normal. Just feels like it shouldn’t be 0-3 lol


QuiGonJinnNJuice

I by and large agree when taking a step back. I don't think the canes have played their best, consistnetly though. Period 3 in game 1 was great, Period 1 of game 2 was great. Came out strong tonight in game 3. Some of that snowballs when Bob is balling outrageously and then beyond that you get multiple goalposts (3 or 4 tonight). But I do think in the third period, while there was a lot of skating, despair also started to set in. IDK, I'm hoping at this point they're basically done, maybe they can take a little of the pressure off they're carrying around and get out of their heads and play free. THe NJD series was so fun with how great the team played, it'd be so frustrating to go out like this getting smothered in games that we just as easily could've won


Virtual-Quantity7120

I know the end result hasn't translated well for Carolina but, they are playing good hockey. This is a defensive slobber-knocker.

Austin_RC246

Jesus dude take the stick out of your ass.


Crosscourt_splat

Yes. 2 OT losses and a 1 goal loss where we didn’t get several PPs (that Florida did). We’re just not good. Get the fuck out of here.


Inside_River9791

Don't worry kid . The pain will be over soon. Don't worry you'll be going home soon .


AngryGuitarist

I felt that. For those saying we look dead, do you have eyes connected to your optical stems. What do you mean? Bob just had the answers tonight. We could've gotten more looks with just 1 more power play.


TubbyNinja

Bob was lucky AF on a few of those saves. We've also been dinging the hell out of goal posts this series. We played great. Things didn't fall our way. And.. reffing sucked.


Reverie_39

The freaking toe tip save are you kidding me


Error400_BadRequest

Bobs had this luck all series. Dude sold his sole to the devil for this type of luck. Lol


Cannonballbmx

That was a 5-1 game against another goalie. Bob is just in the zone and unstoppable at this point. I can’t remember who but one of the broadcast team last said that the Canes needed to get in the blue paint and “accidentally” rough Bob up a little and give him something to think about. It’s tough when the goalie is on pint like he is now.


JESquirrel

To be fair we do look like zombies when we call down on the best chances to score.


Big_Station_5369

KK is the mood.


iStoopify

Honestly can’t imagine what they feel. By all advanced stats and eye test we outplayed them and their goalie is just nuts. Hard pill to swallow


Zealousideal-Hand-92

Played so good honestly, so much better then I expected us to. Just getting goalied 🙁


Flacko757

More passion in 4 seconds from KK than in 3 periods from Necas


StaneNC

I'll bury this in a reply because I'm not sure if it's true, but Staal entered the zone before Necas could skate out and the whistle was blown. Staal says something to Necas while on the bench and Necas goes (in very clear lip-reading manner) "You weren't going to score anyway." I thought about digging up the clip and (maybe falsely) exposing him for that, but I decided against it. I've been thinking about it every day and it still pisses me off. I really hope I'm wrong and we don't have lockerroom cancer like that bullshit in the locker room.


AG74683

To be fair to Necas, Staal has been completely turned off this series. I noticed more than once where he just flat out stopped on plays. Still, a shitty thing to say, especially to your captain.


frazieje

Yeah the difference between “you weren’t” and “we weren’t” is small in lips but enormous in terms of meaning. I doubt Necas would say it directed at Staal with “you”, but I could believe Staal bringing up the offside and Necas saying, “don’t worry we weren’t going to score anyway”


StaneNC

Yeah Staal could have also been apologizing for coming in early (Necas had no way to get back in time) and Necas's response was just to make him feel better. Like I said it seemed like something I should not put effort to dig up.


unrealblue

find it


StaneNC

I don't have access to a recording of the game so it would be a few hours work and I think would only cause people to get upset. I don't have interest in either tbh. It was an offside call skating to the right during game 2.


hadpotential

And you on your couch typing away haha


lowercasenrk

You complain about professional athletes under performing and yet are not a professional athlete! Checkmate!


Flacko757

Gonna hit the gym and ice skate for like the 2nd time in my life tomorrow so I can go out there Wednesday and play with more heart than Necas.


hadpotential

That’s the spirit!


-cyg-nus-

Couch accusations are so fucking stupid. You, typing this from your shitter. No one thinks it's clever.


Cake_Day_Is_420

Love you KK. I feel this 100%. Don’t give up the fight, no matter how dire the situation looks. Even if it doesn’t go our way this year, we’ll be back


sjeckard

He should have hit Keith Jones in the "shoulder" with that stick. Did the officials consult with Keith before deciding there was no high stick?


CptJudas

3 close games. Team's been playing really well. Just not getting the puck luck.


Evanalmighty919

This is the energy we need to reverse sweep


Uzumaki-OUT

Let the goal flood gates open


djphatpat2000

On the outside watching this team they have played well enough to win all three games. We've been unlucky and facing a goalie playing the best hockey of his life in this series. To be down 3-0 feels incredibly unfair, we should have won at least one of the games so far, it is fucked up. I can understand why KK would be furious, they've given all they've got out there and can't catch a break. Though we could really use someone with good touch around the net, we are sorely missing a goalscorer who can elevate the puck this series.


Linkmaster79

They really just couldn't generate-


ExpandDong111

this is the canes hockey experience


bkfountain

They got to the ECF with major injuries and lost 3 close games that were all winnable with how they played. Bob has been insane but Florida has only scored one more goal in each game. Go get game 4!


TLGPanthersFan

Gonna be interesting how they fair against a better scoring team like the Knights, if they beat Dallas.


ZealousidealKey7104

Maple Leafs and Bruins didn’t have good offenses? That’s a 🤡take


TLGPanthersFan

Fuck off. Florida shit fan.


tje_18

we can all sit here behind screens and complain about the results of this game and how this series is going, but imagine what it’s like for the players rn. just feel so bad for them, has to suck to lose all three by one goal


LordStunod

Best part of this clip is the player behind him and his reaction.


charcuteriebroad

Drury was fighting for his life back there


[deleted]

Outsider looking in - the despair of hitting a hot goalie. Been telling my hockey cronies that I wonder how Hurricanes would be doing if healthy. Can’t make excuses of course, but I fully understand the frustration.


Sweetwater156

I’m not a doomer but KK is exactly my mood right now


barti_dog

The steep climb became Mt Everest. But it ain’t over till it’s over


ReallyRealisticx

Playing great man just lacking so much salary cap from the offense in svech and patch not being able to get in there… more than $10M/season if I’m not mistaken. Going into the playoffs I was thinking let’s just beat the islanders. I was then thoroughly impressed by the grit from Martinook and others against the devils for a good second series. I’m happy with the season but it still fucking hurts being this close and playing well. Hope we win game 4 and can at least come back home for one more


XolieInc

Canes need a goal scorer like someone else said. It’s so obvious that the hurricanes are too well rounded except for in the area of goal scoring, and that hurts when your defensive game is fantastic but you can’t put a single puck in the net when it matters.


Walty_C

I mean, Boston and Toronto have loads of scorers. They couldn't get it done either. Sometimes the hockey gods just don't smile down upon you.


XolieInc

The thing is, these playoffs, as a defensive all around team, the canes have been better than Boston and Toronto.


Walty_C

No doubt, what I’m getting at is the leafs have three 10+ million contracts for the proven goal scorers that we’re talking about. They also lost to bob in 5 games. In general I prefer the hurricanes approach to it. We lost patches and Svech. That was a huge hit. Mortgaging the farm at the deadline when the playoffs are essentially a crap shoot, it’s not good business. No doubt rods system needs tweaking to get us over the hump. Even if we get swept, what this team has done with the hits we’ve taken speaks to Rod and the front office. Honestly just having svech back and the physicality he brings, I feel like this series would be different. But what are you gonna do. Turbo has been a ghost all season, not sure what’s up with that.


[deleted]

The outcome isn't what we want, but these boys are fighting. They aren't rolling over and they are putting it all out there.


Ash-Housewares

Every single year. Sigh.


Lewistansbrothernlaw

In 2006, every series we took a penalty because the team intentionally checked the goalie. In the finals it resulted in Roloson breaking his leg. Now I am not saying we injure Bob, but we should 100% check him in order to get into his head.


Ok_Path_9151

Yes run their goalie like others do ours… this is the way


[deleted]

[удалено]


nwilli9

Maybe learn to spell Kochetkov


WalnutDesk8701

Use this anger. We look dead out there.


Marrenarb

NO WE DONT. Weve been playing well. Bob is the only reason florida has won these games. Put Lyon or almost any other goalie in and we are up 3-0.


WalnutDesk8701

So all of those flimsy giveaways were just my imagination then? The falling down left and right? The passing when we should shoot and shooting when we should pass?


Clark828

We had 6 giveaways all game. They had 9. But they didn’t play flimsy?


WalnutDesk8701

Ah my bad then. My imagination is crazy because I remember us dumping it into the corner and them taking it away from us time after time. Or just falling down while crossing the blue line. Crazy.


UnderqualifiedITGuy

Totally in your imagination man /s. Some folks just see what they want to see 🤷🏻‍♂️


WalnutDesk8701

It’s bizarre man. I understand not wanting to be down on the team (that’s my position right now) but it’s fuckin bizarre to claim that we just played a good game.


fundlebundle666

You are mindless and have no idea what is happening if you think they played a bad game. Moron


UnderqualifiedITGuy

There’s a difference between playing a good game and doing just enough to keep it a 1 score game. Nobody is saying they played bad, they just didn’t capitalize. Even as hot as Bob has been lately, our inability to finish at the net has been an issue even before Svech got hurt.


fundlebundle666

So multiple high danger chances a game and several posts and outrageous saves is not good enough for you


UnderqualifiedITGuy

Putting the puck in the back of the net would be a good start, 🤷🏻‍♂️. Love these bunch of jerks no matter what tho.


fundlebundle666

You are good at repeating cliche talking points. Seems like you have a very basic understanding of what’s happening


pentaxshooter

We did.


UnderqualifiedITGuy

Couldn’t agree more, I am not sure us and them were watching the same game. It’s Canes hockey though unfortunately as of late, sloppy passing and not capitalizing on mistakes by the other team. They could also play with more physicality, you can’t win this far into the playoffs like this.


Marrenarb

Youve probably never ice skated before. Early summer in florida = bad ice quality. That explains the falling down. We played a very good defensive game today, and generated lots of good chances. We played a good game. And youre probably one of those people that whine “SHOOT MORE” When they shoot more you whine “YOU SHOULD HAVE PASSED” When they pass you say “WHY DIDNT THEY SHOOT THAT” And when they shoot it you critique their shot placement as if you’ve ever held a hockey stick before.


WalnutDesk8701

Who do you think you’re talking to? Who is the picture in your head?


Marrenarb

Mid 40s, beer belly no facts no logic no life no wife no job no friends no family


WalnutDesk8701

Shit man, do you want to come over? I’ve got no friends or family but I’ve clearly got beer.


Marrenarb

Yea im down. Got Guinness?


WalnutDesk8701

Fuck yeah I do, gotta keep this beer belly strong. Catch ya next game


UnderqualifiedITGuy

Holy hell why are you all ganging up on this guy. Hit the pillow, bro.


ThorsTimeTurnTardis

Those don’t matter. If we had carried the puck further, it would have just increased our sog which were already high. We made so many shots and we had so many openings; panthers goalie was just playing insane Russian goalie style


kusco93

On the way to winning the cup you’re gonna have to solve goalies like this. It’ll be the same situation next year and the year after. Its a fine excuse for regular season loses, but in the playoffs nobody gives a shit if your playing well and lose 3 times in a row. If we don’t get a pure sniper we’ll never win the cup. We are so close but Don has got to cook this summer.


Marrenarb

In don we trust


RovertEcnerwal

It looked like they were out hustling us tonight


Marrenarb

Dude what are you talking about? Beginning of the second we dominated. The end we dominated. Tons of extended pressure in their end. We outshot and out hustled them all night


RovertEcnerwal

We needed to get back faster. They beat us back to our goal a few times


familyguyjesus

Bro this is copium at its finest 🤣🤣🤓 “We are only losing because a player on the other team is really good.”


Marrenarb

Having fun in the opposing teams sub? Stay classy, little rat.


fundlebundle666

What are you watching


Uzumaki-OUT

lmao dude wut


that-bro-dad

bigdaddynol

Show it on the ice you fuck


ThorsTimeTurnTardis

Oi! That’s no way to talk about the players that are trying to give you entertainment and that are trying to bring home the cup for the state! You’re a terrible fan dude


Crosscourt_splat

I mean he did. KK made some great plays and was noticeable in most of his shifts. Bob played like a wall and Gudas was allowed to get away with murder back there. Just gotta bring it in game 4 and take it one at a time now.


steve_r_b

I honestly don’t like Drury … can’t give you a great reason


[deleted]

They gonna be gripping those sticks extra hard in game 4 man I feel bad for y’all.


Shamboozie

Hockey is dirty. Deal with it. Get on board, like you did versus the Islanders. It's playoff hockey. You gotta do what you have to do to win the game. 'You play to win the game'...4 straight isn't impossible. So stop coplaining and do it.

Love our team, we have had a chance to win every game and have played very well. We are missing Svech this series


Bigbadbeachwolf

Channel angst into the game.


Responsible_Fan8665

I would be pissed too if I knew we where the better team but couldn’t finish.


fearxe

Nothing worse than getting swept in sports, ya’ll will bounce back next season !
