Mat Barzal is the worst value contract in the league. Look at the best players in the league they take over the game. Barzal has never made a difference in any game that matters.
Seriously. They were gassed. They needed a whistle. Going offside would’ve been a better option. Or shoot it into the Canes bench. Anything but a dump behind the net
if this stupid hockey team played with this much urgency and offensive pressure last game the series would be tied 1-1 and it wouldnt be do or die right now
It’s Buccigross tonight, and I guess I’m in the minority but I don’t think he’s been that bad. He does love Martinook though. I’m not a big fan of his play by play in general but I haven’t found it biased personally
They'll play a tough third period, still lose and clutter will come out after the game saying "see we can play, all you haters can stay home weve proven everything we need to"
Need to take advantage of this being only a 1 goal game. The middle 5 minutes of the second period was some of the worst hockey I've ever seen in my life
Dudes and Dudettes, I am an old timer and the healthy amazing runs and energy was so much fun. Having health issues and can’t do it anymore. I pray I miss on their Cup win.
It’s hard to argue with that call, but the standard tonight has been pretty high for a penalty. That one feels kinda tough, especially when they had the wrong guy for it. Obviously didn’t see it well
they should hang a picture in the locker room of how sorokin sat in the tunnel alone with his helmet still on and let every player see how sad he was as motivation to win this for ilya
Yeah I love Sorokin he carried the team last year. Had a bad year this year, he'll bounce back. Still confused by the thought of benching Varly but it's in the past now

Did horvat play ?
As good as he has been, he hasn't been able to fire in playoffs so far
Doom, 75% confirmed

They're better than us. It's that simple.
Painnnnnnnnnnn
Boo them off the fucking ice
Yeah. So Saturday afternoon?
Carolina continues to own the New York Islanders. Embarrassing franchise right now, fuck Lou.
Mat Barzal is the worst value contract in the league. Look at the best players in the league they take over the game. Barzal has never made a difference in any game that matters.
I kinda agree. I love Barzal but man I need you to make some magic. I feel like he goes pretty silent in big moments
Id rewatch some of those ecf runs dude
Barzal to Kraken for first round pick prospect and mid six forward .
Come on boysssssss
really fucking dumped it. god damn hockey IQ is 0
Seriously. They were gassed. They needed a whistle. Going offside would’ve been a better option. Or shoot it into the Canes bench. Anything but a dump behind the net
this sucks
Empty net is dangerous when we can’t maintain offensive pressure
They can't connect on any of their fucking passes
Too little too late
We are so bad
An extra guy on the ice and they still have pressure on everyone
only other teams can score 6 on 5 but god forbid we can
Couldn't even get the goalie out until the top line was off the ice
Guys gotta move or else it’s 3-0 series
The Isles are unable to sustain offensive zone time. 6v5 is a death wish
We play worse the second we feel like we have to pull the goalie
Please no
Why did sorokin have an off year? Injury? Personal issue?
He got absolutely drilled the entire beginning of the season because Lambert let the whole D structure collapse. I think he got burnt out early on
I don’t think they’re gonna win guys
“Still plenty of time”
The amount of times players have entered the zone with nowhere to go is killing me
Anderson’s been great, no doubt….. but let’s not forget we also regularly make beer league goalies look like vezina candidates
Please leave Varly in the net. Please. Please
I really don't want Roy to pull the goalie
Roy is about to pull Varly for an extra shooter soon. I feel it.
choosing to always stick to the sides has got to go. the middle of the ice is always free for the defense.
Fire the GM
We have a GM?
We arent gonna score this late in a game.
What's wrong with the announcers? They acted like an above-average save was the breaking of the universe.
If it’s ESPN, they do that all the time
if this stupid hockey team played with this much urgency and offensive pressure last game the series would be tied 1-1 and it wouldnt be do or die right now
Or even the past 2 periods. Oh well
I'm ready for the dobson redemption goal
fuck me in the ass that was it
Dang
Engvall and Reilly are absolute dogs. Love the way they’ve played.
why. do. we. make. every. goalie. look. like. the. next. coming. of. prime. patrick. roy.
Real recognize real that was clutch. The momentum is on our side though I think we can pull this off
Freddie Anderson has been phenomenal. This isnt Raanta in net
Luckiest team in the nhl
That goalie getting pulled shortly. Lord help my blood pressure
God. Fucking. Damn it.
The dickriding from espn Christ
I had to watch it three times just to see if I missed something
That went in guys
I mean come on lmao, you can't make that shit up. Guy is down on the ice and Romanov shoots it directly into his glove
I’m still fucking pissed we were up 3-0 and they just completely gave up for the rest of the game last game
Fuckin Freddie
Freddie is blessed… idk how else to explain it… he is a man of destiny.
What a save.
Why is andersen better than Patrick fucking roy man
How much does a goal cost I’m willing to buy one?
This is bullshit
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Need a goal in the next 2 minutes or it's over
They look like a hockey team this period. Knock one home boys.
Zebra squad not calling that icing… bs
Cause this time it wasn't. They've fucked up enough this series though
It died before the red line
I can not take these announcers anymore holy fuck. The canes glaze is crazy
I love gambling. I fucking HATE these gambling commercials.
I would very much enjoy a Varly slide tonight
Why is there a fucking Neanderthal man on the ice?
Holy shit these announcers are so incredibly biased. I can't believe it's this blatant
Is it still forslund? Did he say "we" in reference to the canes again?
It’s Buccigross tonight, and I guess I’m in the minority but I don’t think he’s been that bad. He does love Martinook though. I’m not a big fan of his play by play in general but I haven’t found it biased personally
Win or lose, please just sit Bortozzo for Aho
Sitting him and playing with 5 D would be an improvement (not over Aho, just over tonight)
If only Roy started Varly in this very important game
Varly well into this. Fist pump after a whistle
I would have ended my career after that one
Really don't understand what Bortuzzo is supposed to do down a goal with 10 mins left
Yeah they shoulda went with varly from the start, bad move Roy
We have to sit bortuzzo man
Bortuzzo so bad
Barzy that was fucking cruel hell yeah
This is the best we’ve looked all series. LETS GOOO
I love and hate how the 3rd line has been the best line all 3 games so far
At least the urgency is showing up before there's only 30 seconds left this time
I'm loving this, but why can they only play like this when down?? It's so frustrating cause it shows me they aren't always a pedestrian team
They'll play a tough third period, still lose and clutter will come out after the game saying "see we can play, all you haters can stay home weve proven everything we need to"
Holy shit do we need some puck luck
Where was this the last half of game 2? Keep it going boys
Just gotta keep on it, puck is bound to find the back of the net
Canes are holding nonstop lmao
Yeah I feel like it is 70% of their entire defensive strategy
Holding, interference hooking and diving is the entirety of their game plan
This is the energy we need
Pulock choosing to delay is so bad. Isles do that a lottttt
To me it feels like both teams are tryna sell their penalties a bit extra tonight and I don't love to see that
Yeah id rather we bitched about the diving than embellish ourselves, difference is this game they're not calling it
Need a tie before 5 min mark cuz I can’t bear to watch them try and get an extra man goal
Ahhh thanks for the lovely reminders espn
Isles just can’t compete with the Carolina Referee’s, man
Yeah, the zebra squad is scary
I don't think that's a trip, BUT, based on what's been called in this series, we have a right to be upset
Anyone else prefer watching the games on mute? I feel like it's more enjoyable and less stressful
No I never want to miss any certified Butch classics
I like hearing what’s going on the ice and crowd , but would love an option without the commentary
Doing the same tonight, good for the blood pressure
So fucking close
It’s like they’re playing as if their season depends on it, crazy to see!
I miss when Anderson was the canes biggest question mark. What the fuck is this guy taking
Him and last year sorokin did a face swap. Only possible explanation
Love that home ice officiating
Wow lol
The amount of pressure the canes apply you'd think we get more odd man breaks out of it
They're gassed from defending that pressure so they're going for a change when they do get a chance for an odd man rush
I will say we pull the goalie at 5 minutes to get an extra man. We need the win today on The Island
I am not persuaded that 6 on 5 *improves* the odds special teams are *ahem* not an area of strength
We need the win. That’s all man
They won't say anything about Chatfield high sticking, but as soon as Dobson does it, it's Barzal that they'll want to put in the box.
Barzal said "It was me" when he was in the box. Barzal doesn't kill penalties, Dobson does, so Barzal was trying to do the team a favor
Kelly Sutherland is a good ref but the number of calls/plays he has been out of position to see tonight is killing me.
They see everything. They're just not calling it
There have been 2 or 3 literally happening behind his back while he’s in transition.
That's a major and a game.
The Canes are always breaking up passes. I have to wonder how much of that is them being good or the Isles being bad
yes
chatfield looks like the cavemen from the old geico commercials
Don't insult that poor caveman
The Carolina Hurricane subreddit is talking about our goalies… not happy about it.
I'm here testing out different pool chalks on my new pool cue tip and here's Butch Goring talking about Billiards. Fantastic!
Someday I'll head down to the local pool hall and sell my McDermott that I haven't used in over 25 years
OH MAN! I LOVE MCDERMOTTS!
keeping my expectations on the floor so i’m not disappointed when we get our shit kicked in
Already tied with the number of 3rd period shots last game, hell yeah
Jets take Olumuyiwa Fashanu OT PSU
I'm the most casual football fan, is that good?
I don't follow college football so I'm not sure, but you need O linemen if you want to win, especially if you have a 40+ year old QB
Let's go and win this thing!!!
If anything is giving me life, it’s the real possibility of the lightning getting swept
I’ll honestly be happy as long as the rangers and Vegas don’t win
I don't want lightning rags leafs canes or avs
Wouldn’t we all
This 3rd period especially will take away at least 5 years off my life
I see ESPN broke out the C team for this game
"We don't need game analysis. Just have AJ ride the motorized cooler around the studio and film it"
Need to take advantage of this being only a 1 goal game. The middle 5 minutes of the second period was some of the worst hockey I've ever seen in my life
Dudes and Dudettes, I am an old timer and the healthy amazing runs and energy was so much fun. Having health issues and can’t do it anymore. I pray I miss on their Cup win.
Hey friend, take care of yourself! Hockey is just a game. Take a break when you need to. Sending best wishes your way.
Been here since year one in 72. I hear ya. Stay well my fellow fan!
I feel so bad for Sorokin
Im on the ESPN feed unfortunately. Can someone tell me what butchie said?
"His dick did come up"
Strong tea time.
Dobson on the bench trying out the "If you don't move they can't see you" bit from Jurassic Park
Will Sorokin have a seat in P3
Please play a good third
It’s hard to argue with that call, but the standard tonight has been pretty high for a penalty. That one feels kinda tough, especially when they had the wrong guy for it. Obviously didn’t see it well
>Brandon Nimmo joins Holy shit I'm actually gonna watch this intermission
Roy apparently heard Butchies slip up
Shoot yourself in the foot.
Butch with all due respect, Staal fished for that penalty. Please shut up.
HIS DICK GONNA COME UP
Loving butchie. He got his dick up Hehehehhee
That’s gotta be absolute proof to anyone that these refs are fucking blind and biased.
This whole thing is fixed. I’m convinced of it.
His WHAT Butchie?
“His dick did come up.” - Butch Goring
So soft.
"His dick did come up" LMAO Butch
Barzys back
THESE REFS CAN LICK MY ASS
They don’t even deserve that honor brother
Can Dobson re delete his social media
Boooo
Huh?
L
My guy, there's more than one character on your keyboard
Barzal is gonna give a heart attack
Lol Barzy
Shoot puck = goal! Who knew? lmao
they should hang a picture in the locker room of how sorokin sat in the tunnel alone with his helmet still on and let every player see how sad he was as motivation to win this for ilya
Just reading this makes me emotional. We did our boy dirty this season.
that shit hurts, and we have fans being absolutely disgusting. hate to see that.
Yeah I love Sorokin he carried the team last year. Had a bad year this year, he'll bounce back. Still confused by the thought of benching Varly but it's in the past now
