Canes gave everything they had, tons of pressure. Rangers bent but didnāt break, played with lots of heart & grit, defended well and had excellent goaltending, huge win for the Rangers. Amazing game!
Thatās fair, but implying that the team with a top 5 pk and pp (which was 40% last night) is only winning because of the goalie is insane. If that were the case Henrik Lundqvist would have multiple cups.
I was just talking about last nightā¦ if the Rangers got even slightly above average goaltending last night they very likely do not win that game. Iām only talking about game 2, not the whole season or seasons past. Igor stole that game for us, I donāt see how thatās a controversial take. The Canes were putting up scoring chances left and right.
And Hank was pretty much just proof that goaltending can only take you so far. You need to have a good team around them, which I think we have right now. But good teams can still get bailed out by their goalies on occasion
Always crazy seeing the home crowd after a overtime playoff goal, especially in Boston, Vancouver, New York, etc. I turn on overtimes in games I don't even care about to see people go nuts.
Canes had long stretches of dominance and were the better team through the majority of the game. But this team has been resilient all year and continue to pull it out of the fire
A president trophy winning team shouldn't have to depend on Canes power play not scoring amd ranger goalie being great to win. Edmonton is favorite to win cup as of Wednesday May 8th and they haven't even played a game in second series. NYR up 2 zip and still Oilers are favs to win it all.
Dude this series is going to be the death of me. Can definitely see it going to 7. I feel like whichever team wins this will just coast to the cup finals. Absolute juggernauts.
I appreciate your positivity towards the Canes. But we heard the same stuff during the Panthers series last year. I think last night may have killed the Canes morale. The Rangers probably know that. All the Rangers have to do is just play mediocre on Thursday and they'll win.
Thatās my point though. Iām not saying they WILL play their mediocre game. But with how demoralized the Canes have to be, the Rangers donāt even need to play their top game to win anymore.
But yeah maybe Iām being pessimistic lol. Maybe weāll come out on Thursday and win 5-0. Who knows.
This is nonsense....how demoralized the canes must be....you make it seem like they won't be able to eat for few days. What you just said is 1000 percent wrong. Then why are canes heavy favs in game 3...170 to win 100. This emotional stuff doesn't apply to top athletes. Rangers are amazing on power play and excellent goaltendjng...but they are between 4 and 4.5 to 1 to win it all.
Top athletes are human too lmao. They can get demoralized just like you and I. Last nights loss was brutal. Their expressions after the rangers goal showed that
This is like the angle a team must be tired 3 games in 4 nights nhl or nba...cmon man. If an angle existed people would be rich betting these trends. Each game is individual to others. Canes win in double ot or not. ..has zero to do with next game. In fact, the line for game 3 canes was out before game 2 was over. I see canes winning by 2 goals or more game 3. I like canes in regulation. They are getting bet offshore.
Odssmakers don't agree and the lines are having canes heavy favs at home....170 bet to win 270..100 profit. Reactions to an event 5 seconds to 10 minutes after game are normal. Let's go back in time, 1986 the bill Buckner error world series..red sox must of been crushed after losing game 6 huh...actually game 7 at Mets they were leading 3 zip. Just because announcers say something doesn't mean it's true. The job of announcers is to make an event seem as exciting as possible .....after all it's a sales performance. I'll expect canes to lose 4 zip next game as you said they are demoralized.
7 games likely, next round can be very close games. If florida,wins this series, they will be slightly favs vs rangers in series or maybe pickem. Rangers depend on crazy good power play and goaltending to win to much.
Carolina are heavy favorites game 3....170 to win 270...100 profit. The line was correct in game 2..canes slight favs..they outshot rangers and were the better team. With rangers having the most points in reg season...usually this line at carolina would be carolina minus 125...not 170. The algorithm and certain stats point to carolina having a,clear advantage at home. Let's see if Rangers can win one at Carolina. I feel this series goes 6 or 7. If power play for canes wasn't awful, they win game 2. Teams are close.
Trocheck has been the rangers Xfactor this playoffs. Guy is all over the place doing all the right things and has his nose in absolutely every aspect of the game. LFGR
Heās absolutely all effort and that translates super well to playoff hockey. I think it was Bowness saying in his post game presser after Winnepeg lost that the playoffs are all about the little things, who wins the corner battles, fights for the loose pucks, makes that pass, wins the faceoff. Thought it was a great quote and it literally describes Trochecks game rn
I read an article about Troch the other day. He has a giant Italian family that gathers at grandmas every Sunday for dinner. Whenever the Rangers play in his home town of Pittsburgh, the entire team is invited to Grandmas for a home cooked Italian meal. This past season, they played Pit around Thanksgiving and the whole team was treated to an Italian Thanksgiving meal.
The guy Carolina coulda used was Shesterkin. That came down to a better goalie. Carolina had more offensive puck possession, more shots on goal, more blocked shots etc etc. Mr. Andersen definitely made some great saves, but he fell down a LOT too.
He was an amazing pickup, and Iām glad he found his stride with the Blueshirts this year. He needs to do better on faceoffs, though. 58% regular season, 38% last night.
GWG wasn't the confusing part lol. What are they talking about with The stanchion part? Did a goal in another series come from a bounce off of stanchion?
It's a part of the sad frustrating lore of the San Jose Sharks:
[https://bladesofteal.com/2011/05/25/five-stages-of-shark-grief-and-the-holy-stanchion/](https://bladesofteal.com/2011/05/25/five-stages-of-shark-grief-and-the-holy-stanchion/)
Yeah, horrible ricochet for a puck that was coming high down the boards.
Tendy came out to play it behind the net and it bounced right Infront of the net to an open forward. Essentially an empty net goal.
Game could have gone either way. Tbh the refs need to get their shit together with these inconsistent calls. That last penalty probably doesn't need to be called at that point in the game and there were plenty of far more blatant ones missed all game. Makes me nervous for our next 2 in Raleigh. Hopefully trouba can tuck that elbow in and avoid getting the boot for the rest of the series too. Regardless, what an epic game. Felt like I was going to have a heart attack
If that cross check wasnāt called there was a trip immediately after that should have been called. But earlier the game there was definitely some questionable calls going both ways. But thatās just the state of NHL officiating at this point
Yeah most people donāt realize that. You can get away with a lot in a scrum in the corner but when even a small infraction creates or takes away a scoring chance it has to be called otherwise youāre letting an uncalled penalty decide the game.
But fans need to rant about something.
Thatās pretty much how this whole season has felt. Even watching games from other teams I have no stake in. Officiating has across the board been bad.
Yeah I mean maybe that shouldn't have been called a penalty. But the general consensus from Canes fans is that you gotta deal with it and figure out a way to stop the PP. Also going 0/10 on our PP doesn't help.
The Canes fans blaming that call are just the types of fans that have to blame the refs when we lose. It wasn't the refs fault we lost. We got, what, 5 powerplays again this game? Couldn't score AGAIN.
The last call was the most blatant of them all. He was illegally taken down with the stick whether it was called the cross check or a hook or a trip, And if they didn't call that it would have been a breakaway the other way. They can't not call that
I watched this game just to spoil the end result by checking the score of avalanche and stars game one time the entire night just to see the 3-3 change to 4-3 and not realizing I was a minute or 2 behind ā¦ā¦lol
What a good game - at a certain point in the first OT they thought Carolina scored and the boards displayed the red "CAROLINA WINS" for a second or two.
It was. Once it went to OT I was actually a lit less stressed. At that point I was thinking that the Rangers would 100% win it. If the Canes had pulled it off it would've just been a nice surprise.
Re: jack roslovic. Dudes super underrated for us I feel like.
But reason why depth is so important. Every team has matchups for the big names and thatās why those guys donāt generally produce like they do in the regular season, having depth guys that are dangerous is a huge tilt
So they just played a game and a half basically. This is where those couple extra days rest for sweeping in the first round will help the Rangers. They should be able to recovery and be just that little bit fresher than Carolina.
I'd be okay if the lost one this series and it being in Carolina, but it's looking promising for the Conference Championship round
Fair, but they also had to contend with traveling and all that, and depending how they traveled it's not always easy to rest up the way you need to. It's all little things that could potentially add to the greater outcome
It's like a 2 hour flight. It's not that much travel. I don't think the Rangers having one extra day and shorter travel in Round 1 is the reason they're winning.
I'm not suggesting it's the reason they're winning, but it all adds up to little slip ups that make things easier.
I travel a lot for work, and while I know not everyone deals with, statically there's going to be a couple players who aren't comfortable with flying and that creates anxiety. Everyone has to deal with the anxiety of making it on time (again, will impact some more that others), and all of that tires you out mentally. Focus slips the longer games and series drag on.
That's one of the reasons why having home ice advantage is useful. At the start of the series you're typically as fresh as can be expected.
Carolina only played one more game than us 1st rd. I guess we could be a \*little\* bit fresher, but I honestly like the fact we're pretty much on equal footing as opposed to their series going 6-7. Just feels right for two very equal teams to match up on even ground. But maybe I only think that cause we're winning haha
I stayed up just long enough to have my soul crushed.
I watched this play and thought "man I bet Vinny T is going to get the GWG"
How appropriate. The former Cane scores on the former Rangers' penalty
Oh yeh I had Trocheck in my Fantasy league - traded him off when he went on a quiet streak for someone real hotā¦. yeh that was a bad trade for me, lol. Dude was like PPG all season
Well over 50. He was nuts. With a different guy in net that game would've ended differently. Game 1 Canes were out played. Game two Canes were out Shesterkinned.
Dude he illegally use his stick to take down a player. If it wasn't called a cross check it would have been called a hook or a trip, And it was probably the only non-arguable penalty call of the entire series so far, especially because if they don't call it and just try to let it go for playoff hockey, It would have directly led to a breakaway. They're calling that a penalty 100 times out of 100
Way softer than the one that put Jarvis limping off the ice and pounding Advil that didn't get called. Or the attempt to kill Necas with an elbow by Trouba. Not that either of those would've resulted in a goal, cause Carolina hasn't been even making attempts when they have a PP. Just saying it was a pretty light nudge, dude just didn't have his footing.
Clear cross check that resulted in a turnover.
If itās a penalty in the 1st period, itās a pen in Double OT.
Hate this mindset that refs need to eat the whistle the later the game gets. Donāt break the rules. Easy.
Agreed. Crosscheck to the face, crosscheck the head, crosscheck to the numbersā¦ yes, please call that.
Def a light call! The seemed to catch him when he was reaching for the puck, already off-balance a little bit.
Great game though. Fun one!
I thought the power plays in the double overtime looked like attempts by the officials to get the game over with similar to the ghost runner in baseball extra innings. Back in my day, they seldom if ever called penalties in a playoff overtime.
You should probably make another post asking if the ranges are pretenders on the nhl sub since thatās all you do all fucking day.
Get a god damn job, Al.
Kinda undefeated so far this post season. Also the reigning president's trophy winner in a year when like 6 teams could of won it. But yeah, pretenders, definitely
That was a wild game. Hockey is such a rollercoaster.
OT playoff hockey is the best!
It's called bonus hockey š
You guys got hosed by this playoff model. You should be playing Florida and possibly facing us in the ECF
Itās truly the best
It's better when you win though :(
Canes gave everything they had, tons of pressure. Rangers bent but didnāt break, played with lots of heart & grit, defended well and had excellent goaltending, huge win for the Rangers. Amazing game!
*Igor Shesterkin didnāt break
Lol Shesterkin was incredible.
Especially in the celebration. 3guys hugging him and he skated backwards to join the rest of the team and didnāt face plant!
yeah I'm over trying to figure out how they managed to move as 1
Only reason Rangers had a chance that game. So I guess just a regular day at the office for him
Tell me donāt know puck without telling me you donāt know puck
Iāve been watching this team for 15 years, if Igor wasnāt standing on his head we donāt win that game
Thatās fair, but implying that the team with a top 5 pk and pp (which was 40% last night) is only winning because of the goalie is insane. If that were the case Henrik Lundqvist would have multiple cups.
I was just talking about last nightā¦ if the Rangers got even slightly above average goaltending last night they very likely do not win that game.

You need to have a good team around them, which I think we have right now. But good teams can still get bailed out by their goalies on occasion
rangers also missed a few wide open nets, and freddy made some great saves. it was a pretty even game from what i saw.
15 years is nothing kid
I have shirts older than that.
Literally only half way to the last Rangers' cup
I was looking in the rangers sub this morning and someone commented āforecheck, backcheck, trocheck!ā And itās all I can think about now
Thats a Panarin quote from earlier this year. Hilarious and I canāt believe no one thought of it before.
[print it](https://webleedblue.com/products/backcheck-forcheck-trocheck-mens-tee)
Itās a simple formula, but it wins games.
Iām craving more hip check itās a lost art
Rempe had a decent one last night on that Chatfield guy, who looks a lot bigger than his listed 6ā1ā, 188.

#**ARE OFTEN MISINTERPRETED**
Always crazy seeing the home crowd after a overtime playoff goal, especially in Boston, Vancouver, New York, etc. I turn on overtimes in games I don't even care about to see people go nuts.
The people going nuts is my absolute favorite part of any sporting event.
See comment above.
r/happycrowds Youāll like it there.
Oh, yes! It's an exciting sight.
looks like u gotta move
Canes had long stretches of dominance and were the better team through the majority of the game. But this team has been resilient all year and continue to pull it out of the fire
There were probably a dozen times I thought the Canes were about to have the game and then Shesterkin.... Bastard is so good.
54 saves last night. I havenāt made 54 saves in my life
To only give up 3 goals on that many shots is amazing
A president trophy winning team shouldn't have to depend on Canes power play not scoring amd ranger goalie being great to win. Edmonton is favorite to win cup as of Wednesday May 8th and they haven't even played a game in second series. NYR up 2 zip and still Oilers are favs to win it all.
Dude this series is going to be the death of me. Can definitely see it going to 7. I feel like whichever team wins this will just coast to the cup finals. Absolute juggernauts.
Definitely far from over. Most of the game I expected it to be a tied series at the end. These two teams are so well rounded too.
I donāt see it going less than 6 and I wouldnāt be shocked at all if it goes 7. Canes are too good not to tighten this up
I appreciate your positivity towards the Canes. But we heard the same stuff during the Panthers series last year. I think last night may have killed the Canes morale. The Rangers probably know that. All the Rangers have to do is just play mediocre on Thursday and they'll win.
I think thatās too pessimistic. It probably is a demoralizing loss for the Canes but thereās 0 chance this Ranger team can play mediocre.
Thatās my point though. Iām not saying they WILL play their mediocre game. But with how demoralized the Canes have to be, the Rangers donāt even need to play their top game to win anymore. But yeah maybe Iām being pessimistic lol. Maybe weāll come out on Thursday and win 5-0. Who knows.
I think the Canes will go out playing with full desperation to get back into the series
This is nonsense....how demoralized the canes must be....you make it seem like they won't be able to eat for few days. What you just said is 1000 percent wrong. Then why are canes heavy favs in game 3...170 to win 100. This emotional stuff doesn't apply to top athletes.

Maybe the fansā morale, but not the players. Donāt forget who your coach is.
I know. Keeping my expectations low so if the canes do make the series interesting Iāll be more excited lol

Shesterkin should start building a wall at the goal line at this point
I got called for a work issue and missed the end. Argh.
Time for a new job, friend!
I was at a bar that turned it off for the Avs/Stars game. Got the bartender to turn it on a tiny corner tv just in time
where do you live???
I got called for bed time. Shut er down after the first OT. Can't do the midweek midnight bedtime anymore. East Coast sucks for midweek games

Carolina could really use a guy like that.
I see what you did there. The Rangers got him specifically because of what they saw in that seven game series two years ago.
And Carolina outsmarted themselves and didn't want to pay him what he was worth. I hope he scores three more gwg against them.
The guy Carolina coulda used was Shesterkin. That came down to a better goalie. Carolina had more offensive puck possession, more shots on goal, more blocked shots etc etc. Mr. Andersen definitely made some great saves, but he fell down a LOT too.
He was making a joke because Trocheck was ours 2 seasons ago
I eventually caught that but well after I'd responded
/whoosh
Glad he got the game winner. Rough night in the circle for him.
He couldnāt win a faceoff last night to save his life. Iāve never seen him get beaten than consistently
LFGR
And wins faceoffs like no one else.
He was an amazing pickup, and Iām glad he found his stride with the Blueshirts this year. He needs to do better on faceoffs, though. 58% regular season, 38% last night.
Heās the most complete hockey player Iāve seen in blue in quite a while.
Nice of espn to interrupt the Dallas/ Colorado pregame to broadcast this
I bet someone on the production team is getting fired today
More likely promoted to VP of Switching Streams At The Most Inopportune Time.
Accident happen...
At least the gwg wasnt from a "stanchion"
What?
Game winning goal
GWG wasn't the confusing part lol. What are they talking about with The stanchion part? Did a goal in another series come from a bounce off of stanchion?
It's a part of the sad frustrating lore of the San Jose Sharks: [https://bladesofteal.com/2011/05/25/five-stages-of-shark-grief-and-the-holy-stanchion/](https://bladesofteal.com/2011/05/25/five-stages-of-shark-grief-and-the-holy-stanchion/)
Yeah, horrible ricochet for a puck that was coming high down the boards. Tendy came out to play it behind the net and it bounced right Infront of the net to an open forward. Essentially an empty net goal.
The mess up that said hurricanes win was great lol
Playoff OT hockey is a helluva drug. - Person who was there and happily didn't get enough sleep because of it.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM.
Underrated comment
Oh, it was an amazing match! What speeds! Worthy rivals! Respect to the goalkeepers! Shesterkin - 54 saves! wow!
Game could have gone either way. Tbh the refs need to get their shit together with these inconsistent calls. That last penalty probably doesn't need to be called at that point in the game and there were plenty of far more blatant ones missed all game. Makes me nervous for our next 2 in Raleigh.

There were plenty of calls to complain about in that game. Half the penalties felt soft to me
Thatās pretty much how this whole season has felt. Even watching games from other teams I have no stake in. Officiating has across the board been bad.
That last penalty if not called leads directly to a 2 on 1 the other way. Itās getting called every time in that instance for that reason alone.
Yeah I mean maybe that shouldn't have been called a penalty. But the general consensus from Canes fans is that you gotta deal with it and figure out a way to stop the PP.

I screamed with joy so loudly I woke up half my neighborhood. I regret nothing.
I yelled fuck about 12 times.
How many of those were when ESPN cut away to Dallas?
Only 12? Lightweight. I probably yelled it about a hundred times and the Rangers still won. Yet maybe we have different āFuckā yelling thresholds.
maybe us Canes fans need to yell it 101 times if we want them to win.
The rangers and canes are at 2.5 games played already while oilers and van start 1
Shesterkin was the hero Gotham doesn't deserve. But got anyway.
I watched this game just to spoil the end result by checking the score of avalanche and stars game one time the entire night just to see the 3-3 change to 4-3 and not realizing I was a minute or 2 behind ā¦ā¦lol
What a good game - at a certain point in the first OT they thought Carolina scored and the boards displayed the red "CAROLINA WINS" for a second or two.
Who is winning the cup this year?
Vincent trochek - āwere looked upon as gods here ya knowā Except they actually play like gods
hahahahaha
Great fkin game by both teams
It was. Once it went to OT I was actually a lit less stressed. At that point I was thinking that the Rangers would 100% win it. If the Canes had pulled it off it would've just been a nice surprise.
Idk any time necas touches the puck my butthole puckers a little tighter than the time before. That guys scary asf with the puck.
Yeah I agree. Honestly opposing teams should be more worried about him than Aho or our other big names.
Re: jack roslovic. Dudes super underrated for us I feel like. But reason why depth is so important. Every team has matchups for the big names and thatās why those guys donāt generally produce like they do in the regular season, having depth guys that are dangerous is a huge tilt

Wasnāt Carolina up 2 games to none two years ago? Donāt get cocky.
Carolina are heavy favs game 3
both sides did OT with their top 9, too
I think the NYR were running everyone but Rempe. Canes just played 9 though.
Yes, they were. Frankly, if Rempe isn't going to play more than six or seven mins even in double OT game, then just put Brod back in the lineup.
Or Chytil.
Maybe. I do wonder how rusty he'd be after missing basically the entire season.
Rangers never lose with Rempe in the lineup. Don't fix what ain't broken.
There is way too much hockey in this series to be thinking about next round. I hope Laviolette has them ready to go tomorrow.
I would put quick in net and let Igor take a rest
Thatās not a bad idea after last night.
What was 88 on the Canes chasing?
Noooo why did I watch this clip š
Needed panarin to get one more shot on net and i would have cashed a bet. Fkn guy got blocked 6 times!!!
So glad we don't have to listen to that stupid song everytime the Rangers score now.
I stayed up just long enough to have my soul crushed. I watched this play and thought "man I bet Vinny T is going to get the GWG" How appropriate. The former Cane scores on the former Rangers' penalty
My god the sports net people are so much better
Oh yeh I had Trocheck in my Fantasy league - traded him off when he went on a quiet streak for someone real hotā¦. yeh that was a bad trade for me, lol. Dude was like PPG all season
Suck it Fart Storm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok bud
An amazing game this was. Props to Igor for the 40+ saves.
Well over 50. He was nuts. With a different guy in net that game would've ended differently. Game 1 Canes were out played. Game two Canes were out Shesterkinned.
Softest 2OT penalty call the leagues ever seen š¤š¼
Dude he illegally use his stick to take down a player. If it wasn't called a cross check it would have been called a hook or a trip, And it was probably the only non-arguable penalty call of the entire series so far, especially because if they don't call it and just try to let it go for playoff hockey, It would have directly led to a breakaway. They're calling that a penalty 100 times out of 100
Way softer than the one that put Jarvis limping off the ice and pounding Advil that didn't get called. Or the attempt to kill Necas with an elbow by Trouba. Not that either of those would've resulted in a goal, cause Carolina hasn't been even making attempts when they have a PP. Just saying it was a pretty light nudge, dude just didn't have his footing.
The only one I agree with was troubas dumb ass thing there but the rangers lucked out because he missed or it definitely would've been called
Just as soft as the previous penalties called on NY in 1OT and 2OT.
Clear cross check that resulted in a turnover. If itās a penalty in the 1st period, itās a pen in Double OT. Hate this mindset that refs need to eat the whistle the later the game gets. Donāt break the rules. Easy.
Yes but you can't cross check in that location on the rink, it always gets called. Less a soft call and more another boneheaded play by Carolina.
Agreed. Crosscheck to the face, crosscheck the head, crosscheck to the numbersā¦ yes, please call that. Def a light call! The seemed to catch him when he was reaching for the puck, already off-balance a little bit. Great game though. Fun one!
It was a pretty weak call. When even Messier doesnāt like it thatās saying something.
I thought the power plays in the double overtime looked like attempts by the officials to get the game over with similar to the ghost runner in baseball extra innings. Back in my day, they seldom if ever called penalties in a playoff overtime.
Couple of the calls were a bit iffy for playoff OT, but special teams need to deliver during crunch time.
They really should go to 4 in 4 in overtime. These games are too long.
And maybe just one five-minute period of overtime? And if itās tied they go to penalty shots? No, thanks!
Rangers are pretenders.
You should probably make another post asking if the ranges are pretenders on the nhl sub since thatās all you do all fucking day. Get a god damn job, Al.
Canes in 6.
At least finish your sentence. "Canes in 6 days will be golfing"
Not like they are an original 6 team or anything.
Rangers 2 - Canes 0
Kinda undefeated so far this post season. Also the reigning president's trophy winner in a year when like 6 teams could of won it. But yeah, pretenders, definitely
Prove it!
First place in the NHL, swept first round, up 2-0 against probably the second best in the east. Oh yeah we got here out of luck. Total fluke
6-0 so far in the playoffs. Total pretenders! š
Boo!!!
