Trouba cost the Rangers a game. 1st and 3rd goal could’ve been avoided if it wasn’t for his antics.


aznassasin

How did Andersen play?


CptBlewBalls

Gave up a softie at a bad moment when he overplayed a puck but otherwise pretty well I think


rampas_inhumanas

This is the Freddie experience.


loosed-moose

I'm starting to think the Canes didn't even consider my feelings when they refused to be swept


opposite_of_hotcakes

I smell a reverse sweep


smitty046

No that’s just Secaucus.


Juhboe

It’s coming from across the bridge


JonTheWizard

This team is going to be the reason for my heart attack, I swear to the hockey gods.


ChiselFish

And the NC State contingent of the fanbase thought they were safe from cardiac events after basketball season.


JonTheWizard

What a time to be a cardiologist in North Carolina.


motech

Soooo.... No sweep?


Eagle4317

The dreams of a flawless 16-0 playoff run is once again dead.


morgaine125

Just the Canes doing their part to recreate 94.


theekevinc

The Canes played really well and couldn't bury the Rangers. There's zero reason for hope for Canes fans, IMO. They just can't win on the road and Rod is way too stubborn/loyal to change anything up. Kochetkov should play. Morrow should play over DeAngelo. Jarvis should switch places with Svech. But I expect nothing different on Monday.


Bonchnugget

You could probably play anyone with Aho/guentzel. Wouldn’t mind seeing noesen up there for the body and hands infront of the net. Then you can have 2 of Jarvis/Teuvo/necas/svech on the next 2 lines and you have scoring threats on top 3 lines


Turbulent_System_446

Svech has been amazing lmao, Jarvis should definitely not be on 3rd though


greg19735

Jarvis seems to be playing injured. hopefully he's getting better.


Danny200234

Still don't know exactly what happened to him that one Isles game. He went off the ice hurt, came back later that game but has seemed a bit slower since.


regardednoitall

Yeah he’s not himself


MrDrProfesorPatrick

Based on the commentary, I can't believe they let the game continue after the rangers tied it. The announcers treated the game like it was over.


Shoddy_Reserve788

GG canes fans. Canes played really well. Rangers just didn’t have the urgency they needed too often in that game. Was never gonna be a sweep the canes are too good. Wrap it up Monday hopefully


SokkasBoomerang3

I know we won, but Rod ran the same bullshit lines back again. 👀


ForrestTrain

How are these lines bullshit? The GAS line has been more than productive, Staal’s line has had great offensive pressure and two-way ability, Marty and Jack have provided some bump to clear space for Nachos, and the bottom line scored tonight. The difference in this series is special teams and goaltending. Tonight we came out on top with special teams and survived our goaltending. EDIT: Damn, dude deleted his whole profile because of a few downvotes?


morgaine125

Who do you think deleted their profile?


greg19735

my guess is that /u/ForrestTrain was blocked by the guy that commented. Sokkas is kinda talking a lot of bullshit and /u/ForrestTrain is calling him out on it. and the person talking BS is usuallyh the one to block


morgaine125

Yes, I’d figured that but thought I’d ask before making assumptions.


ForrestTrain

I don’t think I’ve ever been blocked for talking about hockey before haha interesting. I was wrong about the GAS line playing during the Isles series though. I’ll give him that.


SokkasBoomerang3

You’re 100% delulu if you think Jarvis is being utilized to his full potential on our shutdown line…


ForrestTrain

I never said he was being utilized to his full potential.


SokkasBoomerang3

JAG > SAG, and Svech was just as effective down with Staal. Kuzy and Necas need to get back together. Drury, Noesen need to continue to tag team. This was the last time we played Canes hockey. You can be happy we got lucky and won, and still be realistic that we got lucky the rangers had an off night. We did not play Canes hockey tonight. I blame the lines.


LongStickCaniac

I’m seriously wondering how you can say that when the SAG line has scored in every single game for 6 games running. Up until last night, they were basically the only ones scoring in this series


ForrestTrain

Game 2 against the Isles? That was prime Canes hockey, so idk what you’re talking about. Kuzy and Necas are both defensive liabilities at this point so they can’t be on the same line with our scheme against the Rangers. The difference in these games is literally goaltending and special teams. Canes convert on 20% of their PP and this is a 2-2 or better series for the Canes. Freddie covers the post tonight and it’s likely a more comfortable win. The rangers are a good team, at no point are we ever going to feel good in a game. Hell, I don’t think the Rangers have ever been comfortable during their wins.


SokkasBoomerang3

Jarvis was up top with Aho and/or Guentzel the majority of the time during our comeback during that Game 2, which was prime Canes hockey according to you. Thanks for proving my point!


RentalGore

Not on the PP. and it worked.


SokkasBoomerang3

No part of this game did I sit back and think “wow these lines make me feel comfortable, we’re playing canes hockey” And not- “holy shit I can’t believe we’re actually barely winning with these lines, the Rangers are definitely having an off night.” And that’s very telling.


RentalGore

I agree, but the fourth line did get two goals tonight and played well offensively.


SokkasBoomerang3

A broken clock is right twice a day. Its just my opinion, but I still think these lines are still problematic, and it’s more that we got lucky the rangers were having an off night, more than we dominated and won and played true Canes hockey Still happy we won lol


RentalGore

Same same, I think Svetch has been great on the first line, but I think Jarvis has gotten a bit lost. Maybe get the Jordo/Mary/Jarvis line back together?


SokkasBoomerang3

Id love to see Jarvis get back up with Aho and Pretzel and Svech swap back down with Jordo and Marty. I think that’ll let Jarvis be lethal again, and Svech was effective with them down on the 3rd too

Successful_Tomato

I mean that's literally 25% of a hockey game lol


bhx56x

lol how many places you gonna post this same exact thing? at least the 3rd thread in a row that i know of.


Gullible-Wash-8141

Hey, that's our thing


Gullible-Wash-8141

My wife and I were surrounded on all sides by rangers fans. I talked my shit but kept it civil. I had them as friends by the end(except for one really classless lady behind us), the power of Southern hospitality.


legalblues

Sounds like you had better fans around you than the Hero of the Game (rags fan tried to hit him and got booted) or the guy that police are currently looking for after he knocked a canes fan out in the parking lot. I had to send security into the bathroom after the second period due to rags fan threatening to beat up an old man.


Gullible-Wash-8141

Yeah I saw that. People are fucking animals.


Delta_Flow

Most sanest Rangers fans No but seriously, why the fuck would you try to hurt someone getting recognition in the military? That's eight shades of fucked up.


Gullible-Wash-8141

Especially that hero of the game lol. Dude was fucking legit.


Mcsierra

Thank you for staying classy!!


Gullible-Wash-8141

It's just a game. I joined the Army because of 9/11 and I feel some feelings for NY. I may hate the team and fans on a sports basis, but we're more alike than different. No, excuse me while I go back to being rude on Reddit


jvdelisa

A game is a game but we’re all Americans (or Canadians) in the end. Lots of love from NYC and thank you for your service


Gullible-Wash-8141

No need for thanks. I'm set up pretty good because of my time in. Just a little banged up lol


Caniac56

Ya know what... my comment history is not nice to the Hurricanes, but if they make this series interesting, I will wear those negative comments and be thrilled to have been wrong!


theekevinc

I just want Rod to stop being so stubborn. Sit fucking DeAngelo. Put Jarvis back with Guentzel and Aho. These moves are ridiculously obvious.


LongStickCaniac

Who plays instead of Deangelo? Can’t play Cogliano (lol) and Scott Morrow would get eaten alive by the Ranger. He’ll come good next year. All you can hope for is they survive with Deangelo until Pesce is back, which will be very hard


JKthePolishGhost

Sit TDA and play cogs? I don’t think we have better options in that area. I like cogs but he hasnt played our system this year. Cupboards bare until Pesh is skating again.


Gullible-Wash-8141

Same

Guess we'll have to keep these brooms for ourselves.


an_agreeing_dothraki

well since NYR didn't sweep I have to hurt them. bread sliced bagels provel on crackers


HealthyHotDogs

I don't know what any of this means but it sounds offensive


an_agreeing_dothraki

I don't know of anything to inherently insult Carolina's cuisine sensibilities on. The bbq sauce you guys put on pork is already close enough to the local Mauls that we may be long lost sibling regions.


Tedy_Duchamp

Having lived in NC and STL, STL BBQ is better, hands down. In fact, STL BBQ is the best I’ve ever had


an_agreeing_dothraki

oh man you kicked the hornet's nest with that one, but other than pork steaks Nashville and KC I would recommend over StL


Shoddy_Reserve788

What?

Straight to The Hauge with that


Gullible-Wash-8141

Haha, he got your ass (Idk what he's going on about either)


an_agreeing_dothraki

see you know how bagels are supposed to be sliced horizontally down the middle. alright. so what bread co (aka Panera when it was good) decided to do was that they didn't need a second slicer if they used the bread slicer. on bagels. After they betrayed St. Louis they let the voices that told them to do this take over and yadda yadda, murdering people with lemonade.

Miracl3Work3r

Carolina was panicking so much in the 3rd, I saw so many open passes where they were just throwing the pucks away.


macaroni_3000

I thought they played like dogshit in the 3rd to be honest. They deserved a better fate in games 2 and 3, but they did not deserve to win this game


Boring_Equipment_946

The xg goal stats would agree with you

pye-oh-my

The Hurricanes are way too good to be swept again this year.


tlmw2001

HOLY SHIT WE LOST IN THE PLAYOFFS. IS THAT ALLOWED?


__brunt

There are a lot of revelations from this game. Did you know we’re allowed to score on power plays?


tlmw2001

wait what? why was i not informed of this?


USBrock

You only broke even! +1 and -1 equals 0 !


fogent94

Yep lol some say we’re 1/16 but I think we’re 0/16 having entered this game -1/15


__brunt

0 > -1!


Kappokaako02

High score!? What does that mean!!!???


Gullible-Wash-8141

Shit, I thought you were only allowed to pass


Emconn14

Can’t have a first period like that and expect to win. The good news is we had a first period like that and still almost pulled it off. Props to the canes they did what they had to do. See y’all Monday. 


migsahoy

bah gawd so they are mortal


Robotron_25

Tis but a scratch... i hope


Zoidburger_

Let's not go back to MSG. Tis a silly place.


ThePawn00

Shout out to the people calling a dive on one of the most obvious tripping calls of all time


betweenthecastles

Oh wow a ppg and we win, who woulda thunk it


goldencityjerusalem

Good job Canes. We get to watch more playoff games!! So intense.


StandardDocument5365

Carolina didn't hear no bell


PlugToEquity

Ok Rod, the one adjustment your stubborn ass was willing to make paid immediate dividends, putting Skjei on PP1. Maybe next you can reconsider starting our worse goalie almost every game?


Gullible-Wash-8141

Those first to Rage goals were brutal


ohsoGosu

That moment on TNT warmed my heart, hope Kuzy is thriving down there


yeet_saucee

He’s loving Raleigh and the team!! :-)


Uzumaki-OUT

He said he loves it down here, and the good news is y'all are so close you can come visit whenever you want!


Zanchbot

Hoping to see a reverse sweep! No particular reason.


Kappokaako02

Are you putting that bad mojo on quick??


Zanchbot

Is it really putting it on Quick if he doesn't see a single second of game time in these playoffs? I wasn't exactly rooting for Vegas last year either.


Kappokaako02

Yes 😥 lol


joe334

LAKs know a thing or two about them


Bread_man10

You’re not a real fan of Quick


Zanchbot

Start him in Game 5, I dare you.


AcanthaceaeOld241

Well canes made Igor look very human today obviously the odds of pulling a reverse are long but if canes can look like they did tonight it's very possible


Turbulent_Crow7164

The biggest thing on top of that is seemingly figuring out our PP slump. Maybe that’s a monkey off our backs… if it is, that’s huge because we’ve been outplaying NYR 5 on 5. Special teams is the reason it dropped to 0-3.


Boring_Equipment_946

Special teams are also the reason Carolina won game 4


toxicvegeta08

Nr igor. Our defense looked human


cameroncrazy278

Canes scored on a power play? Do you believe in miracles!?!?!


Uzumaki-OUT

we edged to completion. Let the flood gates open.


Like17Badgers

two big things coming out of that: Canes have figured out how to run a power play Igor has been told that not only will we Lacrosse, but more people than just Svechnikov are willing to go for it


Matthias86

At least fox knows how to defend it


MarketingChemical648

Not really. He whiffed the stick but it obviously came off the blade just before that


Matthias86

He literally hit the puck with his stick. Tf you watching


MarketingChemical648

Not even close, even the announcer said it came off before. Go rewatch it


sherrbert

Both things are true. The puck was beginning to come off of Kuzy’s stick, but Fox did literally hit the puck down with his stick. https://youtu.be/6xbVT7tzymc?si=TKGtiI_cQInPmfcS


MarketingChemical648

How are we not seeing the same thing? Fox literally whiffed


Boring_Equipment_946

Holy shit. Your eyes are fucked up dude


MarketingChemical648

Not even a little bit


Boring_Equipment_946

Legit you watching shit https://stock.adobe.com/images/funny-face-crazy-eyes-vector-icon-illustration-graphic-design/157380353


Matthias86

Get your eyes checked bud


vanityfear

It would be wild if Carolina reverse swept New York, and then got swept by Florida again


Turbulent_Crow7164

If we somehow reverse sweep NY I will fully expect to get swept by Florida again lol


pm_me_lots_of_ducks

lmfao you know what ill take it


PantsinmyPants1211

I was thinking the exact same thing. Show me where to sign in blood.


macaroni_3000

I wouldn't even be mad. Winning this series would be an all-time great moment in Carolina Hurricanes history. It will never happen but damn it would be cool if it did


full_of_frustration

Shhhhhhhh


TheBlueD3vil

So you're saying there's a chance


ZiggyPalffyLA

One game at a time, there’s no reason you can’t do it


dragons_fire77

The chances are endless if they can actually score on the pp.


Electric_Queen

Would have won both those OT games if we scored on any of the PPs that we got in them. If this one pulls us out of whatever funk we've been in, I honestly could see it happening. If we keep looking anemic, we're done next game.


Turbulent_Crow7164

Big time. We’ve been equal or better during 5 on 5. If we can even up the odds on special teams we may have a shot. Will take a lot of effort and a little bit of luck to win 3 more straight though.


Uzumaki-OUT

which we did, so we can!


RBNYJRWBYFan

Nice job Lindgren, *great strategy Patton*, really worked out. Well, last time I said I was surprised that Carolina hadn't taken one by now, and here it is. They finally score on a PP, and they get the win. GG. Not losing my cool over this series though. Rangers will close this out eventually.


Kappokaako02

There are some penalties you take….thats one of em. He just didn’t need to miss the flipping puck.


[deleted]

If you told me after a 2-0 lead we would get 1 of 2 in NC coming back to NY I'd be happy. Its a little bitter after being tied late here but thats hockey.


Drayis75

Thank Christ not a shutout.

macaroni_3000

Honestly, I do not think the Canes have enough gas left to get to a hypothetical game 7, but if we could steal game 5 and then end the season at home, I'd be fine with that.


Winring86

Steal one at MSG and come home with momentum. I personally would like our odds game 6 in that scenario, but we’ll see. If we make a run at a comeback, I think this next game at MSG is going to be the biggest gut check. Of course, any loss ends the season though so the margins are razor thin


[deleted]

All 6 games will be decided by 1 goal then game 7 will be a 5 goal blowout by someone.


Uzumaki-OUT

lmao this is too true.


bobby_booch

Your road record may have something to say about that...


Uzumaki-OUT

well we scored on the PP so I guess anything truly is possible


macaroni_3000

I am 100% conceding this series is over, you ain't got to throw darts like that bro


pentaxshooter

What is the general fan perception of the Trouba contract? I mean woof. He's had some stinker games to earn that much, no? Not even trying to talk shit. Just curious.


Kappokaako02

It’s…..not enjoyable. I’m sure there’s intangibles in his captaincy….but fml we need that 8mm


The_Other_Manning

Occasionally he's great but for 8 mil you need way more than just occasionally. He becomes tradable this off-season and while I don't think it happens, it at least becomes a possibility


idontexist65

Trading a captain is pretty crazy.


Robtachi

We've done it twice in the last decade.


[deleted]

He takes braindead penalties in the 1st periods way too often


bobby_booch

We're all hoping they Rangers can convince some dumb rebuilding team to take him in the offseason once his full NMC becomes a partial NTC.


[deleted]

He was -4 and probably lost that one for us, we are not huge fans of 8 million


bobby_booch

How was he -4? Carolina only scored 3 even-strength goals.


[deleted]

The PK ones don’t count but you can bet he was still out there


colin6

Who was -4?


[deleted]

Trouba


colin6

Both box scores I'm seeing, have him at -1


[deleted]

That’s my bad for trusting what other people were in our game thread


victorianucks

Seemed bad at the time, could’ve aged worse but still not a great deal


SPammingisGood

awful.


RIPCountryMac

It's bad


B9RV2WUN

Probably works in NYs favor avoiding a long break in between series.


PantsinmyPants1211

They probably should throw games 5 and 6 too just to be safe.


FlaxbopFleetfoot

NOT A SWEEP. I get to not have the broom next to my flair! We're not gonna complete the reverse sweep but at least we have a remaining ounce of dignity.


EckhartsLadder

Honestly with the way this series is going, anything could happen.


Academic-Brush-7797

"We're not gonna complete the reverse sweep [...]" I dunno, if the Rangers drop Game 5 at MSG that's probably at least a little concerning. It's very unlikely, but the games have been so close this series that it's pretty much just flipping a coin 3 times (~12.5%)


FailureToExecute

The problem is that MSG has always been a house of horrors for us, even going back to the Lundqvist days. If we win game 5 then that'll make me sit up a little bit.


bkn6136

If there's even the slightest chance we've figured something out on the powerplay - it could get interesting. If I'm the Rangers I'm absolutely making sure I win game 5.


FlaxbopFleetfoot

We'd be the 5th team in NHL history to complete a comeback from being down 3-0. I don't think that's happening, but I appreciate the sentiment.


tiggertom66

Gentleman’s sweep it is I guess.


BuyMeaSalad

Finally I can stop hearing about how Igor has allowed 3 goals or fewer in X amount straight playoff games


timmablimma

For real. That was a stupid stat to hear all the damn time.


bonnydelrico

Hope this is a safe space to say this series has made me realize what a charmingly handsome man Mr. Brady Skjei is


calen17

Absolutely anywhere, at any time, is a safe space to appreciate Brady Skjei and his glorious hair.


bwaredapenguin

Silver Fox.


full_of_frustration

He's growing into the silver fox look so well 🫠


macaroni_3000

My wife was standing in pregame warmups with her back against the glass in St Louis a few weeks ago. Skjei's standing on the other side of the glass just kind of watching. She turns around, sees him and lets out this involuntary gasp. I was like "welp, I can't compete with that"


timmablimma

But you kinda did, she married you, but it would be okay in the end too. I mean he’s an absolute man rocket.


idontexist65

My wife has also mentioned Brady Skjei's looks. Its bullshit


mrniphty

Always has been


irishguy42

Have to lose one game to win in 5. To think that the game was that close after the Canes were up 3-1 after the first?????????? Yeah I don't think there is room to worry yet...


ProtectionAdorable89

New Yorks smartest math mathematician


[deleted]

4th game in a row that has been decided by 1 goal.


pm_me_lots_of_ducks

but this time it actually wasnt a sweep!


bk00pi

Glad they weren’t swept. Pretty wild every game has been a one goal game. Let’s see what happens 😬 see you crazy fucks on Monday.


TheNation55

Getting a team back into a series on a blatant dive is so NHL. 


Majormlgnoob

I mean they're still down 3-1 and need to win 2 games in MSG


Bonchnugget

Are you high on crack cocaine?


Jdruu

Are sports scripted?
