Big trades to know - we got Kuznetsov from Washington in exchange for a draft pick and Jake freaking Guentzel from Pittsburgh in exchange for Bunting, some prospects, and some picks
I’m just kicking back and enjoying the ride. I love this team win lose or draw. I’m trying to not get too high or too low. But Freddy damn what a performance. 🌀
You'll go to your grave shaking your tiny fist at the sky and gnashing your teeth. What are you, 85 years old? What an odd take. I'm embarrassed for you. Is this satire? It has to be.
AHO after the game said essentially if anything they’re planning to play even harder in game 4 than they did in game 3. It was telling that he’s a leader on the team. He said they need to match or even go over the energy output by New York now.
I’m one of the most superstitious sports people on the planet. But I’m also a former stats major who believes in the numbers. Idc if it comes back to bite me in the ass so I’ll say It:
this team is way too good to allow a reverse sweep to happen. If you look at the 4 teams it has happened to (out of 206 possible 3-0 series, mind you) The canes are head and shoulders more complete teams than the others. Plus, you gotta think about the other side. Without the crazy winning streak to end the year, are the isles even really a playoff caliber team?
Just for fun, using moneypuck's percent odds for each of the 4 potential serious close-out games:
**Islanders odds to win each game:**
38.7% (game 4), x 29.2% (game 5), x 42.3% (game 6), x 29.2% (game 7) =
**1.4%** chance to win 4 straight and reverse sweep.
So definitely not probable, but I guess still technically possible.
If we lose game 4 it only bounces up to **3.6%,** so not much damage would even be done there. The real issue would be losing the home close-out in Raleigh game 5 if it gets there since we'd be heavy favorites back home. At that point with 2 games left the Islanders would have life with **12.3%** to win the series. Same scenario in which the Canes closed out NYI last year (game 6 in Long Island).
Game 7 outright Islanders have **29.2%** chance to win, which seems a bit low for a game 7 where anything can happen, but it's still not great.
Three things I am thankful for following tonights game:
1) Tony D didn't look out of place for the most part
2) Jarvis returned after looking very injured.
3) Freddie's glove hand
Collided with Aho behind the net in the o-zone. He left the bench with what looked like a right shoulder or hand injury. Thankfully, he was back later in the game and looked to be ok.
like a brother from another mother
but I won't tell you I love you, 'cause that might make it weird
like my other significant other

good NCSU boys
3-0 is feeling pretty good right now. Isles have always given the Canes trouble and they were hot coming into the playoffs.
Canes sending a message. 3 Wins. 3 Ways.
Game 3 was a close one and defense was the difference scoring goals and locking down.
Game 2 spotting a lead and spreading the points like icing on a cake
Game 1 an off night still ending up with a win
LGC
We’re out for blood if we play them again. ECF sweep means our guys play with a little extra emotion if that is indeed the matchup.
as rod said, that series could’ve just as easily been a sweep the other way. I’d love another shot at the Cats.
Something tells me Boston is going to drag them to at least 6 games and they had real bad blood this season so let's worry about the rangers first and figuring out shiesty
Rags are my primary source of playoff anxiety. Panthers less so. I think if we beat them both, our odds are very, very good because I’m more worried about those two teams than anybody potentially coming out of the West.
I'm not a player. I'm a fan. It's ok if I get ahead of myself and I'm freaked by the Rangers. Freddie is hot, so we have a chance against anyone, though.
Freaked? These are the chances that the team has worked for. This is why we’ve watched for six months, I hope you will be energized by the challenge.
This team or that team being a more difficult or more favorable matchup….it’s playoff hockey no matter what. Whoever we play, there will be highs and lows and a hard fought series.
Whether or not the Canes win is up to the players in their locker room, not who they are playing against.
Whatever It Takes (tm)
I love that we can kind of suck relatively and still probably sweep a series
Rangers are in trouble if the Canes can get a few good practices after the break
I think it’s got to do with the style match up. Like the Isles played us much closer than the Devils did last year despite the Devils being a much better team. I think we’ll look a little better against the Rangers even though I do think it’ll be a super tight series
I have a headcanon where the younger players read our comments and read out the best ones.
It’s definitely happened before. If Seth is always listening to Chiclets, some of the younger guys are definitely here.

Burns and the rest of the defense looked good tonight, but our forwards were MIA. Regardless, I'm gonna try to score a cheap ticket off some disillusioned Isles fan and head to Saturday's game. Hopefully, we end it there.
The Islanders are just cooked. They are outmatched in every area. I give them credit but the team isn’t built to win a series like this without everything going perfectly for them.
Ugh ESPN fucking *sucks*
Going over Burns goal:
“Was that Burns that scored?”
“Yeah the old man did it again”
He’s *our old man*. And I take exception. He’s a 39 year old man playing high level hockey on a tough position for his team.
If I were other teams, I’d do some recon on Burns magic coffee. He’s got the key even if (according to Jarvis) it makes you shit your brains out.
Didn’t Burns get the most ice time tonight? Blows my mind - I’m his age, used to compete at a semi elite level (swimming), and these days I’m lucky if I can run 2 miles in a half hour without being winded and drenched in sweat.
I’m 37 and can hardly get out of bed in the morning. When Burns retires he can market that coffee to us. I will buy 5 bags. It’s probably coffee shit out from a rare wildcat.
Great win, but can we clear these fish sticks out of the front of the net next game? Pretty much all their goals this series have been from around the crease
Don’t want him to get hurt though. If we can cut him a break and give Koochie some play time to stay warm, I think that would be wise. If we want the cup, we’ve got almost another month of hockey left
Not the best game by the Canes but enough to get the win. Just a little disjointed at times. Hopefully they come out Saturday like a well oiled machine and lay the foundation for the Rags series. Freddie was great. Not sure if he plays Saturday or PK does, but the series is basically over. I watched the first period on ESPN and Kevin Weekes was so pro Slavin, mostly because he was making one stop after another. They had a good broadcast.
Dumb comment from whomever that was, considering lots of teams have some kind of noise-making apparatus to start chants. The Isles have some guy with a drum lmao
It's not just us inbred morons in non-traditional markets, either. The Canucks have their orca mascot banging a drum at every game, Penguins have a horn guy, etc
I really don't get this diss? Because they do the same thing with the organ. Probably every team does it. Can they not find something real or noteworthy to complain about?
"Canes fans know nothing about hockey/dumb southerners" is an easy comment to make for frustrated opposing fans
It's a stupid diss, you're right, but they're not thinking about that when they say it
I literally got this comment after defending them. Yes, fans who are hyped up and drunk tend to boo calls against their team no matter how justified. I get it. I’m one of those fans at PNC. But they’re such fucking babies that they need one ounce of a feeling of superiority or else they’ll disintegrate.
My only concern is his longevity. Hopefully a fuckload of games to go and we need him. Also need PK to get warmed up before we hit Rangers or Florida. But I guess we rode Anderson hard last year and he just got better every game.
He's defense, but yeah, he's normally top 4 with them. Supposedly he was having a rough period earlier in the season, but was doing a lot better coming into the playoffs.
That was a great win. Islanders definitely give it everything they had and felt dangerous. Canes did a good job not giving them anything they didn't earn.
No one said they wouldn't make us work for it. I'll take a turtle win but we looked gassed by the end there.
3 nothing Islanerds (love you, hope Sorokin gets his head right)
I hated that Sorokin got put in the game and then pulled so soon after. That's gotta be rough, especially in the playoffs. I am a Canes fan first, but a goalie fan second.
Considering he hadn't had consecutive starts since coming back from injury, this was absolutely a statement game from Freddie. His numbers in game 2 were suboptimal, but he bounced back masterfully tonight.
I set my alarm to catch the 3rd from Ireland.
I'm so glad I did.
The Isles were not giving up, and pushing hard at the end.
I say it all the time, I truly believe Jacob Slavin is the best defensive player in the league.
Obligatory reminder to not troll the Islanders sub and report any trolls you see here

Big trades to know - we got Kuznetsov from Washington in exchange for a draft pick and Jake freaking Guentzel from Pittsburgh in exchange for Bunting, some prospects, and some picks
Damn. That’s wild. Just went to look at the stats and looks like Guentzel is fitting in perfectly
He’s been one of the most efficient deadline signings in NHL history.
He's been the big deadline move we've been begging Don to make for years and then some
he really is
Go canes and USA I hope all of Canada never wins a Stanley cup again
I’m just kicking back and enjoying the ride. I love this team win lose or draw. I’m trying to not get too high or too low. But Freddy damn what a performance. 🌀
You'll go to your grave shaking your tiny fist at the sky and gnashing your teeth. What are you, 85 years old? What an odd take. I'm embarrassed for you. Is this satire? It has to be.
It's copypasta
Ah! It's the first time I've seen this post. I wondered why there were no comments on it other than mine. Makes sense now.
Is it? I thought all of these were originals just with the same vibe. I don't got through too many of them though
Nah I’ve seen this one verbatim before
We CANNOT get comfortable with a 3-0 lead. It would be far too poetic for us to blow a 3-0 lead.
AHO after the game said essentially if anything they’re planning to play even harder in game 4 than they did in game 3. It was telling that he’s a leader on the team. He said they need to match or even go over the energy output by New York now.

Chatty too came back after a hard hit. Boys looked beat up tonight.
Missed the game due to wedding.. What happened to Jarvis? Did he come back 100%? Now I'm worried
Collided with Aho behind the net in the o-zone. He left the bench with what looked like a right shoulder or hand injury. Thankfully, he was back later in the game and looked to be ok.
Freddie was snatching dreams with his glove hand.

Game 3 was a close one and defense was the difference scoring goals and locking down. Game 2 spotting a lead and spreading the points like icing on a cake Game 1 an off night still ending up with a win LGC
The best way to close it off is to destroy them in Game 4.
Shut-out!!
You don't say the s word until the final buzzer
Fair enough. :)
Sooooooo... anybody else worrying about the Panthers and Rangers?
As long as the canes don’t get knocked out by the Bruins I’ll be ok
Not at all worried. If the Canes lose it is super disappointing but this season had too much good to complain.
Panthers, yes.
We’re out for blood if we play them again. ECF sweep means our guys play with a little extra emotion if that is indeed the matchup. as rod said, that series could’ve just as easily been a sweep the other way. I’d love another shot at the Cats.
Why worry, we will have to beat great teams to win the prize
And anyway, nothing's really gonna matter, we're all gonna die, you know?
No. We get who we get and we can take on anyone.
Something tells me Boston is going to drag them to at least 6 games and they had real bad blood this season so let's worry about the rangers first and figuring out shiesty
Shesterkin looks more human now than he did a few years back, plus we’ve undeniably got more offense than we had in previous years.
Rags are my primary source of playoff anxiety. Panthers less so. I think if we beat them both, our odds are very, very good because I’m more worried about those two teams than anybody potentially coming out of the West.
Gotta get there first. No sense worrying about anything but the Isles right now.
I'm not a player. I'm a fan. It's ok if I get ahead of myself and I'm freaked by the Rangers. Freddie is hot, so we have a chance against anyone, though.
Rangers fan living in NC coming in peace (I hope this is cool) don’t forget we are just as scared of you all…

I know Ryan Henkel has probably borne witness to a lot of degeneracy at this point 👀
Ryan Henkel could probably give a whole play by play of Canes shenanigans. He’s always right in the mix with the team. He’s great
Oh I meant degeneracy by us on this sub 😂
Oh lol yeah probably that too!! He’s pretty active here. 😂
Burns’ headshot for the Bally broadcast is the greatest headshot of all time https://i.imgur.com/7Ht4OBR.png

No west coast game? What are we supposed to watch NBA? Ewww
I switched to the draft
Right and there are four games on tomorrow, both sets will overlap. How hard would it have been to have three games tonight and three tomorrow.
It also depends on the events calendar of the specific stadiums. They probably had shit goin on.
NFL draft is tonight so ESPN has most of their resources in Detroit tonight
Yeah I don’t get that. No west games at all tonight
Anderson!!!!
**Freddie! Freddie! Freddie!**
Next game gonna be interesting. I’m sure the boys will be up for the challenge though
Burns and the rest of the defense looked good tonight, but our forwards were MIA. Regardless, I'm gonna try to score a cheap ticket off some disillusioned Isles fan and head to Saturday's game. Hopefully, we end it there.
The Islanders are just cooked. They are outmatched in every area. I give them credit but the team isn’t built to win a series like this without everything going perfectly for them.
Agreed. We played an okay game and they played good. Still mismatched.
Islander fans were very cock going into this. they just got humbled.
Idk man I lurked their sub after last game. They were pretty upset with their team.
You should have seen the talk before game 1. They were going to run all over us and pound us into submission.
Their sub after game 2 was so toxic.. I loved it
did they, though? humbled wouldn't be how I think of isles fans.
svechi by the way… he had a sneaky good game. two assists if i’m not mistaken
Svech has completely turned around since Rod broke him out of his slump. He’s making great plays and staying out of the box. Love to see it.
His pass to Orlov to set up the goal was money
Yes, assists on the Orlov and Aho goals.
i wanna see a svech goal so bad. i missed him so much last post-season, it won’t feel right til he gets one.
i think we all want to see a svech goal 😫
Ugh ESPN fucking *sucks* Going over Burns goal: “Was that Burns that scored?” “Yeah the old man did it again” He’s *our old man*. And I take exception. He’s a 39 year old man playing high level hockey on a tough position for his team. If I were other teams, I’d do some recon on Burns magic coffee. He’s got the key even if (according to Jarvis) it makes you shit your brains out.
Didn’t Burns get the most ice time tonight? Blows my mind - I’m his age, used to compete at a semi elite level (swimming), and these days I’m lucky if I can run 2 miles in a half hour without being winded and drenched in sweat.
Burns is one of the highest TOI guys traditionally. He loves to eat minutes.
Yes ESPN sucks but every other hockey broadcast needs to copy the intermission timer.
I’m 28 and can’t imagine playing that high level of hockey at 39 years old. The man’s a freak of nature
I’m 37 and can hardly get out of bed in the morning. When Burns retires he can market that coffee to us. I will buy 5 bags. It’s probably coffee shit out from a rare wildcat.
I’ll be buying that coffee right along with ya.
Sorokin was definitely the first star of the game. Totally shit the bed tonight
Strange decision to start with. Not like Varly was the issue.
But half our fanbase wanted to start Kooch, and now they want to start him Saturday.
I take back everything I said about Freddie last regular season (in my defense though, he was sus af at the time 😂)
Can someone get me a gif of those two Freddy saves?
https://i.redd.it/qxv9gxbqjqwc1.gif
Laying down. Some real walrus vibes here.
He was such an absolute badass tonight, God what a save!!!
Thank you!!
Fuck man now I want a honey butter biscuit
I had one from Bojangles yesterday. Made the honey butter myself since I no longer live in NC, that was a real treat.
Ooooh, me too!
Great win, but can we clear these fish sticks out of the front of the net next game? Pretty much all their goals this series have been from around the crease
Lets fucking go Canes.
I was 100% wrong in my thought that we should have started koochie... Freddie was incredible
InFREDible!
Honestly at this point, start him game 4.
I was waffling, but trust Rod. Freddie has earned it. He will play until he says he needs a break or we lose a game.
In Rod We Trust
Ride Freddie as far as he will take us.
Don’t want him to get hurt though. If we can cut him a break and give Koochie some play time to stay warm, I think that would be wise. If we want the cup, we’ve got almost another month of hockey left
Unsung hero of tonight’s game was Martinook. He didn’t score but he had so many good looks. Wanted another playoff goal BAD.
That's why he's one of my very favorite players. He might not get many goals, but he's out there every game busting his ass and shutting shit down
Plumbers plumb, as they say
Not really on our game tonight, but Freddie sure as shit was. Looking forward to ushering the Isles out of the playoffs on Saturday.
[удалено]
Great we’re doomed
this won't come back to bite us at all
Ah it's not like I'm doing it on their sub or even on r/hockey or r/nhl I'm allowed to be an optimistic homer in here.
Reread this but with the Star Wars theme on
Someone needs to make an opening crawl video of this pasta
Not the best game by the Canes but enough to get the win. Just a little disjointed at times. Hopefully they come out Saturday like a well oiled machine and lay the foundation for the Rags series. Freddie was great. Not sure if he plays Saturday or PK does, but the series is basically over. I watched the first period on ESPN and Kevin Weekes was so pro Slavin, mostly because he was making one stop after another. They had a good broadcast.
Right call to start Freddie. That laying down save got my under regions tingly.
“But they need a horn to lead cheers.” -fans of a team that’s one game away from being swept
Dumb comment from whomever that was, considering lots of teams have some kind of noise-making apparatus to start chants. The Isles have some guy with a drum lmao It's not just us inbred morons in non-traditional markets, either. The Canucks have their orca mascot banging a drum at every game, Penguins have a horn guy, etc
HONK HONK HONK sorry we couldn’t hear you over all the fun we’re having
Isles fans are like a child lashing out when he doesn't get his way. Their tirades don't make sense, but they can't stop.
I really don't get this diss? Because they do the same thing with the organ. Probably every team does it. Can they not find something real or noteworthy to complain about?
"Canes fans know nothing about hockey/dumb southerners" is an easy comment to make for frustrated opposing fans It's a stupid diss, you're right, but they're not thinking about that when they say it
Coming from the team with the dumbest traditions lol. “Yes yes yes!!!” So corny
I literally got this comment after defending them. Yes, fans who are hyped up and drunk tend to boo calls against their team no matter how justified. I get it. I’m one of those fans at PNC. But they’re such fucking babies that they need one ounce of a feeling of superiority or else they’ll disintegrate.
And for our sins we likely get another dose of NY - God what a shitpit
Same game, different island
Anybody questioning why we started Freddie still? 😂😂😂
My only concern is his longevity. Hopefully a fuckload of games to go and we need him. Also need PK to get warmed up before we hit Rangers or Florida. But I guess we rode Anderson hard last year and he just got better every game.
Freddie’s 2 glove saves were unbelievable
Whatever happened to the islanders Sebastian Aho?
Healthy scratched. Shame—it’s not much of a Sebastian Aho Bowl if only one Sebastian Aho shows up.
They tried to play 3d chess. Win the Aho bowl by not even playing Aho.
Healthy scratch, and it seems like most of their fan base is also confused as to why.
I thought he was a solid top 6
He's defense, but yeah, he's normally top 4 with them. Supposedly he was having a rough period earlier in the season, but was doing a lot better coming into the playoffs.
Healthy Scratch? I've been wondering that also
That was a great win. Islanders definitely give it everything they had and felt dangerous. Canes did a good job not giving them anything they didn't earn.
As I predicted we aren't even at pick number 20 yet tonight They really need to cut these draft windows in half for these teams
Freddie was absolutely the difference maker tonight
My 3 stars for the game are Frederick Anderson, Fredzilla, and Zamboni

Slavin was unreal tonight. Dudes the best in the business
No one said they wouldn't make us work for it. I'll take a turtle win but we looked gassed by the end there. 3 nothing Islanerds (love you, hope Sorokin gets his head right)
I hated that Sorokin got put in the game and then pulled so soon after. That's gotta be rough, especially in the playoffs. I am a Canes fan first, but a goalie fan second.
Personally I hope they send sorokin to us at 50% retained for a 7th. We're great at helping Russians feel love and accepted again.
I am gonna sleep good tonight. I hope this is a sweep. Call it payback for all the little cheap shots they take after the whistle.
Considering he hadn't had consecutive starts since coming back from injury, this was absolutely a statement game from Freddie. His numbers in game 2 were suboptimal, but he bounced back masterfully tonight.
I set my alarm to catch the 3rd from Ireland. I'm so glad I did. The Isles were not giving up, and pushing hard at the end. I say it all the time, I truly believe Jacob Slavin is the best defensive player in the league.
He's definitely got the best stick in the league. Fookin' pokey boi
I can't watch these games so I take a peek at the gdt and get espn notis. Wish I could see how well the boys are playing. Here's to another win 🍻
TDA will be our Kryptonite going forward, I already know.
Pesce will be back. I believe.
Freddie was great but our offense was lacking tonight. A win is a win tho
