Canes

[KenansDad]

Canes had been playing pretty well but got dominated in latter half of 3rd. Season may come down to this OT. Gonna be an uphill climb to say the least if they go down 0-2 with both losses at home.

 

[MacksBrownies]

Boom!

 

[KenansDad]

Ok it’s a series now! Need to go get one in Montreal and get home ice back!

Win game 3 and we wrap this up in 5

Just up the road

 

[KenansDad]

Good first period tonight on the road!

 

[madisonsdad]

We need to pull this match out tonight!

 

[MacksBrownies]

We have the worst luck with BS penalties

 

[KenansDad]

Aho and Svechnikov need to get going! Gonna be hard to advance without them contributing

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Great catch by the Canes video department.

How was the puck not in the goal as Dobes slid back?

Couldn’t see the puck at all

 

[KenansDad]

Canes outplaying Montreal but just can’t get the winning goal right now

 

[KenansDad]

Svechnikov! Finally! Huge road win to get home ice advantage back

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Gritty win, way better showing from the Habs in OT this time around... onto game four.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Looking like Montreal is on the way to a sweep. The Canes don't belong on the ice with them. What an embarrassing performance.

How do you feel about the Hurricanes now?

 

[SpencerHaskell]

One combined shot between the third period and overtime from Montreal tonight.

 

[Allen&Sons]

Horseshoe starting to slip from Montreal's sphincter. Two straight domination games where luck and refs help the Canadians but still get it done. Love it.

Better late than never!

There are coincidences and there are trends , facts
We win overtimes-fear us NHL

 

[MacksBrownies]

Win tomorrow to crush their souls and take the series back home.

 

[MacksBrownies]

Puck night! Let’s end any hope they have by winning tonight.

 

[mpaer]

Buckle up Montreal
Butt whipping time

 

[KenansDad]

It’s early but Montreal looks tired. Canes dominating play so far.

 

[unctarheel1984]

Hurricanes are skating well.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Bone-headed penalty by Chatfield.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Dominant start and you can give all the momentum back with a PPG here.

Welcome to the series, Hurricanes power play. This one might be coming back though. Not enough to tell if that puck comes out, IMO.

 

[SpencerHaskell]

The hockey is good.

 

[KenansDad]

Montreal I think is completely gassed

 

[SpencerHaskell]

Definitely not over yet. Not sure if anyone else saw what happened in Vegas earlier this week.

Two straight 7 game series and back to back overtime losses have taken their toll on Montreal … they look a step slow tonight

I understand, and I agree with you. Just saying I've seen weirder things happen in playoff hockey.

I have watched the playoffs for 5-6 years and understand the game, but how do I learn to watch to see which players are playing well other than the obvious assist or goal?

 

[mpaer]

3-0
Nice start
lol

Actually the announcers are pretty good at Splaining who is playing well

Depends on what you're watching for. Solid defensemen aren't necessarily scoring highlight reel goals like Gretzky or McDavid, but they block shots, and make good passes out of the defensive zone to lead to offensive rushes. Jaccob Slavin on the Hurricanes (74), is one of the strongest and most underrated D-men in the league.

Good forwards will generate scoring chances, even if they're not flashy, and get the puck deep and establish physicality on the forecheck.
