Vegas won game 1 against Anaheim after scoring off a horrible no icing call. Hockey gods giveth and taketh.

Disappointing start to the series. Hot start but Vegas pretty much kicked their rear ends in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Once Vegas settled in, they were clearly the better team.

Add in Chatfield who was directly responsible for giving up a goal after a weak puck clearing attempt.
And that was right after he/Chatfield got out of the penalty box, IIRC. He and Slavin both had sub-par nights (similar to game 1 vs Montreal).

And as Manitow posted above, the Aho line was absolutely terrible. Like bad enough to where I hope RBA makes some line changes. I know we don't want to change anything on the Stankoven and the Staal line but maybe RBA can get creative. Jarvis was particularly horrible last night. He couldn't even control simple passes. Svech does brain dead stuff with the puck but he at least creates chances every now and then.

The Canes best players simply cannot continue to suck if they want to have any chance at all of winning a game much less the trophy.

Freddie Andersen has flat out sucked this series so far. Not making any big saves.

I'm not going to blame that one on Freddie. You can thank the pathetic defense for that and main reason they are not going to win the cup. You can't put your goalie in that position. The Canes best players need to get their heads out of their asses.

Not necessarily blaming him but he is not getting big stops at all

It’s time to get Andersen out and go with Bussi. Absolutely awful from him. 6 goals allowed on very limited shot attempts. He is making ZERO plays at all. Granted the defense is poor again but he is terrible this series.

Just ain't happening. I would replace Freddie at this point just to change things up even if it's not totally his fault although he should have stopped the last goal. Rod won't do it, however.

This period is by far the biggest of the season. Simply have to find a way to get it down. Bleak outlook if they can’t.

This game is not even close to being competitive. So far anyway. Total dominance by Vegas. Disappointing to say the least.

Finally showing a little urgency. May be too little, too late. This has been frustrating to watch because this is not how this team normally plays. Least aggressive offensive effort in a long time

This is Carolina hockey. I'm not exactly sure where it's been. I'm glad they finally woke up. Get another one and head to Vegas 1-1.
