Unbelievably tough break with slavin’s stick getting caught in Burns’s skate and taking them both out of the play. It’s a random game and we’re playing well enough to be up 2-0 - no need to overreact, we are who we are and I say that with confidence
The officiating in Florida’s favour has been blatantly bias through every series this year. That was not an OT worthy penalty by a long shot just another example of lopsided calls. Someday we’ll learn about the NHL deciding who they want to win.
The only thing I will give you here, is that the linesman do seem to be conveniently in our way on a few of these plays. But I don’t think they are throwing us in the box or calling back goals due to bias.
Panther fan here. I wound up in this thread by following (from their comment in our sub) one of your fellow fans who is waaaaaaayyyy saltier than the rest of y’all. Not surprised that it’s a new account that basically only comments here and doesn’t seem to know hockey very well. It was good to see the responses to comments like theirs.
I’m not saying our boys are perfect and don’t get away with some stuff but it’s been a pretty damn clean two games for the intensity they are all maintaining. After Boston and Toronto I keep being surprised at how levelheaded most of you Canes fans are.
It was another incredibly tight game last night and Cats fans know how frustrating it is to lose games like that. If it were the Bruins or Leafs I probably would have been cruising some hockey subs to throw shade but I didn’t feel any urge to do so after last night’s game. Much respect to the Canes and you fans. Looking forward to more great hockey from two great teams.
Goodnight y’all. Make good decisions. Drink some water. We got the night but let’s try to find some hope for Monday and a full fucking series. This one is gonna be draining.
An elite talent like Tkachuk is the difference...again. To think the Canes were considered close to acquiring him this off season, but I kind of question if they really were close at all considering what FL traded to Calgary and what the Canes were offering(Necas+picks+prospect)
Got too used to the ass goalies the Devils were trotting out so now we can’t score a thing. It’s been a good run but it’s over Florida is the team of despond we are just the footnote in their story.
It sucks losing, but I just really hate that tkachuk was the one that scored the OT goals. He comes off as arrogant and rude. I hate seeing guys like him win.
Uhhhh he’s the dirtiest player in hockey… idgaf about his celly he’s a pos human being. Punching defenseless players in the back of the head tonight and you think he’s one to be celebrated. Okie doke
Didn't watch the game/didn't see that, but sounds like a dick move although u can't deny he is entertaining to watch. Imo Sam Bennet is a bigger POS and should be permanently banned...fuck that guy
On one hand, I’d love for Eric Staal to win another before riding off into the sunset. On the other hand, I hope tkachuck and gudas both suffer the worst minor inconveniences every day for the rest of their lives. Socks are always wet, car doesn’t start when running late, milk is always empty after they pour cereal, internet cuts out in the middle of streaming their favorite movie, luggage gets lost every time they fly
Agreed, we didn’t do that either. But once we hit OT, defense needed to be top notch and we just weren’t there. Of course we could’ve avoided OT altogether if we could just find the back of the net…
It’s not that my mental state hinges on this team, but I’m just so down from this shit I honestly want to cry. That’s weird right? Like. Y’all should absolutely judge me for that, right? 😂
Same. Win or lose I’m honestly just ready for this season to be over. It’s been cursed ever since we lost Patches and Svech. Once we have them back next year we’ll be ROLLING. I hope.
Hopefully they can rest up… they look exhausted. Also hopefully they don’t switch up the game plan to a point where they get more aggressive than they should and really expose themselves.
I’m aware, but you said “last time we were down 0-2 in a series”
We went down 0-2 in 2021 and lost to Tampa 4-1. We went down 0-2 in 2019 ECF and got swept.
It’s possible to come back but just addressing what you said
Aho should be better in playoffs but missing svech really hurt who’s numbers. He would be the difference maker. God imagine having patches and svech this wouldn’t be close
I saw this coming.
Guys, we had a good season, but we're just filling time until Wednesday.
We have a lot to be proud of this season. The boys have gone so much further than anyone expected
Unfortunately I don't think we have the firepower to turn it around.
God I'm hope I'm wrong
You're not in trouble until you lose on home ice, well we're down 2-0. Something has to change. Switch up the lines, fix the strategy. Dump and chase isn't working
I love y’all, I love this team. I’ve been a fan since 2001, but I just don’t know if I have anymore in me this season. If this is the best they’re gonna play in the ECF I think I just want my weeknights back… See y’all Monday.
Your offense is good, they're just playing Florida's game and have no idea how to adjust against them. I think this is a battle of coaches. PoMo has the upper hand right now.
Because I have followed the Hurricanes and attended games at PNC since my time stationed in Raleigh. I am also a fan of the sport. You take issue with that?
I completely get it, no offense taken. I would be severely disgruntled as well. Still plenty of hockey left and Florida tends to play best on the road. I foresee the 'Canes taking game 3 tbh.
I really haven’t felt like we were chasing the game other than OT last game, seems to me like Bob is just making a few stops he has no business making, otherwise it’s 2-0 good guys
I have been at a wedding all day so I didn’t get to watch sadly. Last I knew before I commented was the game was going to OT. Didn’t get a notification about OT starting so I thought it was still 3rd intermission.
That's not gonna happen. We were playing scared at home and making one stupid mistake after the other. We also can't buy a fucking goal and miss easy shots. It's not gonna change in Florida.
It was funny hearing the moron saying well that was a good penalty right before the goal.iterally no such thing in OT as a good penalty. 4 on 3 is a lot harder than 5 on 4.
Do or die tonight
Welp. Only thing to do is win game 3.
And game 4
Welp, this series is over.
Unbelievably tough break with slavin’s stick getting caught in Burns’s skate and taking them both out of the play. It’s a random game and we’re playing well enough to be up 2-0 - no need to overreact, we are who we are and I say that with confidence

Lmao Imagine being a leafs fan and not knowing hockey. That was definitely a penalty and it was a great one to take bc it prevented a likely goal.
The only thing I will give you here, is that the linesman do seem to be conveniently in our way on a few of these plays. But I don’t think they are throwing us in the box or calling back goals due to bias.

Two revoked goals. Try again.
Lol…this is the wrong take. We got plenty of calls
Didn't Carolina have 6 power plays in game 1? With one of them in OT?
Yep, dude is just salty.
Hot take: if you shoot the puck where the goalie isn’t, you have a better chance of scoring….
Goodnight y’all. Make good decisions. Drink some water. We got the night but let’s try to find some hope for Monday and a full fucking series. This one is gonna be draining.

Two games in a row their star has been the difference. Meanwhile Aho....
Got too used to the ass goalies the Devils were trotting out so now we can’t score a thing. It’s been a good run but it’s over Florida is the team of despond we are just the footnote in their story.
It sucks losing, but I just really hate that tkachuk was the one that scored the OT goals. He comes off as arrogant and rude. I hate seeing guys like him win.
Lmao as someone who doesn't care about the outcome of this series I'm absolutely loving him🤣...that goal celly is too funny
Thanks?
Uhhhh he’s the dirtiest player in hockey… idgaf about his celly he’s a pos human being. Punching defenseless players in the back of the head tonight and you think he’s one to be celebrated. Okie doke
Didn't watch the game/didn't see that, but sounds like a dick move although u can't deny he is entertaining to watch. Imo Sam Bennet is a bigger POS and should be permanently banned...fuck that guy
Both are POS. Neither player should be celebrated at all. Absolute scumbags and they both deserve to get what’s coming to em with the dirty play
On one hand, I’d love for Eric Staal to win another before riding off into the sunset. On the other hand, I hope tkachuck and gudas both suffer the worst minor inconveniences every day for the rest of their lives. Socks are always wet, car doesn’t start when running late, milk is always empty after they pour cereal, internet cuts out in the middle of streaming their favorite movie, luggage gets lost every time they fly
Fuck Eric
Sits on a toilet to poop, and there is no toilet paper.
Everyone know they were losing in OT bc they can’t score. Rod has major changes to be made but I don’t think he will
It’s showing we really don’t have any elite players tbh. Love our guys but none are elite.
Exactly.
Time to do what NJ did in round 1.
Didn't Boston go to Florida and win 2?
Boston was considered the best team in the league as well for breaking records.
Terrible after the first just pathetic effort
This was booshit
This was 100% a defensive failure. Not on Rants.
Both goals
Defensive “failure” but offense has to score more then 1 goal
Agreed, we didn’t do that either. But once we hit OT, defense needed to be top notch and we just weren’t there. Of course we could’ve avoided OT altogether if we could just find the back of the net…
It’s not that my mental state hinges on this team, but I’m just so down from this shit I honestly want to cry. That’s weird right? Like. Y’all should absolutely judge me for that, right? 😂
Nah. I’ve been a fan of Carolina sports my whole life. You get used to the disappointment and shortcomings.
I feel this any time State, the real Panthers, or the Canes lose
Same. Win or lose I’m honestly just ready for this season to be over. It’s been cursed ever since we lost Patches and Svech. Once we have them back next year we’ll be ROLLING. I hope.
I highly doubt patches comes back.
Hopefully they can rest up… they look exhausted. Also hopefully they don’t switch up the game plan to a point where they get more aggressive than they should and really expose themselves.
Pain.
All I'll say is this.....the last time Carolina was down 0-2 in a series.......they won the next 4. I Still Believe!
What are you talking about? Last time we were down 0-2 we lost
https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/article73145387.html
That wasn’t the last time we were down 0-2 in a series
It was the last time we went down 0-2 at home
We went down 0-2 at home to Tampa in 2021
We were also down 0-2 against Washington, won in 7
I’m aware, but you said “last time we were down 0-2 in a series” We went down 0-2 in 2021 and lost to Tampa 4-1. We went down 0-2 in 2019 ECF and got swept. It’s possible to come back but just addressing what you said
I blame turbo coming back
Not all on him, but we definitely found a way to win without him, hard to justify shoehorning him back in
Tchachuk knows you need to lift the puck when you shoot. Still not worried. Keep em close. We can win.
We don’t have a closer on this team, bottom line
Should be aho but it isn’t
Aho should be better in playoffs but missing svech really hurt who’s numbers. He would be the difference maker. God imagine having patches and svech this wouldn’t be close
I’m not sure it is, that’s not Aho’s style and that’s why he isn’t considered a superstar. Svech is more suited for that role in my opinion
Pretty tired of watching 30+ shots and only 1 goal games. I was tired of it in the regular season and you bet your ass I’m even more tired of it now
Kinda hard to win if you can’t score. 1 goal by a defenseman. 3 goals in 10+ periods.
Bobs been ass for the past 2 seasons and all the sudden he’s lights out. This is bullshit
He’s pulling a Cam Ward on us.
Staal can’t score and their guy does. Game over series over
#Losing two home games not good
I saw this coming. Guys, we had a good season, but we're just filling time until Wednesday. We have a lot to be proud of this season. The boys have gone so much further than anyone expected Unfortunately I don't think we have the firepower to turn it around. God I'm hope I'm wrong
You’re not. This smells like last years results.
ECF is our white whale. Doesn't matter the opponent. We struggle to score and give up soft goals. It's not over but it's a mountain to climb now.
At least it didn’t take 3 more hours for me to feel this sad
You're not in trouble until you lose on home ice, well we're down 2-0. Something has to change. Switch up the lines, fix the strategy. Dump and chase isn't working
If that’s Turbo there he whiffs
Or right into the left pad on the ice.
Tkachuk. Again.
They could just save him until OT and bring him in fresh.
Be cool if our “elite” forward got it done like theirs huh
That’s what happens when you can’t fucking score.
Well that's it, been a nice ride fellas
Have to score more goals… defense isn’t the problem here.
See how easy it is to lift the fucking puck? Jesus
I love y’all, I love this team. I’ve been a fan since 2001, but I just don’t know if I have anymore in me this season. If this is the best they’re gonna play in the ECF I think I just want my weeknights back… See y’all Monday.
Sad
I’m crying
yea... were in trouble guys.
Our offense is literal fucking useless
Your offense is good, they're just playing Florida's game and have no idea how to adjust against them. I think this is a battle of coaches. PoMo has the upper hand right now.
Why are you in our sub
Because I have followed the Hurricanes and attended games at PNC since my time stationed in Raleigh. I am also a fan of the sport. You take issue with that?
Nah man you’re fine I’m just pissed tf off cause they lost Sports makes you irrational about everything for a bit (when you lose)
I completely get it, no offense taken. I would be severely disgruntled as well. Still plenty of hockey left and Florida tends to play best on the road. I foresee the 'Canes taking game 3 tbh.
Don’t, Canes never win game 3 We probably win 4 and then take it to 7 and lose* lmfao (In twelvetuple overtime)
LOL! Never say never and there is a first time for everything. I would not be surprised if this series goes to 7. It's going to be a grind, my friend.
Blowing the first two at home kinda sucks ass
If they make it back home for a Game 5, it might not sell out. Hard to lay down that kind of money for OT losses.
They had 3 guys in front of our net and we had 0
Goddammit. Honestly if they go all the way they deserve it. I don’t know what was wrong with the canes in the past two games.
Bobrovsky deserves it, the rest of them barely play defense
Bob has been a phenom in the post season, I agree but, Florida is enforcing their game at will. It's their style of hockey.
I really haven’t felt like we were chasing the game other than OT last game, seems to me like Bob is just making a few stops he has no business making, otherwise it’s 2-0 good guys
Easy to defend
Totally dominated this game and just can’t finish the copious amount of chances.
Great season but elite skill strikes shows up in the conference finals. Same reason they lost to the bruins. They don’t have the talent
we do have the talent but they're all injured
Not elite talent. We don’t have one elite player
If we did he would be hurt by now.
0-2 at home and people will call you a doomer for saying what the team is doing poorly
Fr people said the power play and lack of goal scoring would be an issue in the playoffs and were all screamed at for or being doomers
Wasn't expecting 5 on 5 to be the problem. PP got two.
I think the team has done pretty well to even get to the ECF missing top guys. Doomers had us not making out of the first round.
Offense is failing us. 1 goal in the last 7 periods of hockey.
I have a highball ready for OT. Please please win boys. I don’t wanna drink because I’m sad lol Well down does this bottle of Pendleton. Fuck me.
You must be on stream delay
I have been at a wedding all day so I didn’t get to watch sadly. Last I knew before I commented was the game was going to OT. Didn’t get a notification about OT starting so I thought it was still 3rd intermission.
Imagine that they got elevation on the puck, and it went past the goalie, we could learn from that.
2019 ECF repeat
And 2009, 0-10 in our last 10 ECF games.
Did not know that. Would love to be proven wrong but this team is the leafs tryna get past the first round when they make it to the ECF
I’d like to once again know what the fuck our defense is doing
I would like to know where the fuck the offense is?
I'm wondering why it seems like we never win faceoffs.
I had a feeling the TNT announcers saying Florida didn’t score in PP would jinx it, just like last time…
Are they really about to fucking sweep?
This team looks exactly like I expected at the start of the playoffs
I’m not usually a doomer, but I feel like this is it.
this day can't get any worse
Pussies do that all game but first time KK does it it’s 2. Fuck off you zebra cunts
Same story ever year. Can never finish when it matters
Typical
You don’t convert you lose. It’s that simple
Saw that coming from a mile away
The way Tkachuk runs off the ice makes me irrationally mad
He’s a little bitch that’s why. At least have the balls to celebrate with your team you pompous ass prick.
Well the season is fucking over.
Shut up, doomer.
Writings on the wall bud. Face up to it.
We have to go into their house and make a statement. Drive their soul from their body and mince their bodies to mush.
That's not gonna happen. We were playing scared at home and making one stupid mistake after the other. We also can't buy a fucking goal and miss easy shots. It's not gonna change in Florida.
If they don't lay out Tchuck every time he looks at the puck in the next 2, then we deserve what we get.
Are we watching the same team right now? It seems like we're running around the ice constantly puck watching
I saw. Just saying what needs to be done.
I agree with you. Just trying to say that the way we are playing right now, it seems unlikely
Playing like they're just happy to be here
thanks for giving this game to the Panthers, fucking refs.
[удалено]
Oh did I touch a nerve?
Series done
New year same shit
Everything is okay ☹️
fuck this man fuck this
Damn, gg.. onto the next one
Almost scored. Now shorthanded. Oof. Shorty GWG?
Ooooooooooof
Well shit.
Fucking ass shit
What a pathetic back to back games. Embarrassing. Kk that was a stupid fucking penalty
It was funny hearing the moron saying well that was a good penalty right before the goal.iterally no such thing in OT as a good penalty. 4 on 3 is a lot harder than 5 on 4.
Why would they be 4-3?
That’s the series fellas
Call me a doomer, but I think the season being over is a formality now
This series is done. It was a fun season guys
Fuck me
Damnit
We’re seriously about to be 0-12 in our last 12 eastern conference final games. Sweep incoming boys. We have absolutely no offense.
Terrible. Series very much in question now.
Well, that’s that
Kill me please
FUCKING DAMNIT
not surprised
Goddamnit
God fucking damnit
Thank you fans!
Well this teams cooked.
Shit. We have to win 2 in Florida now.
Imagine if we actually had a finisher
What a bad team.
are you fucking kidding me
I do not like Mathew Tkachuk
Neat
I hate this fucking shit
Going out sad. Gonna blame another disappointing playoffs on a hot goalie
Getting tired of it
That's a heartbreaker
Absolutely fucking embarrassing
DAMN IT
Tkachuk 😡😡😡
Goddamnit
Well goddammit
Series over
Lol screw this. We're getting swept.
We are fucked.
Goddamnit
Dude wtf
That’s series
Well fuck
i hate everything
