We need to take a look at game two of the New York Rangers vs the Carolina Hurricanes second round series. All that and more on today's NHL hockey video!
Canes fans should be annoyed that their team went 0/5 on the PP tonight, including 0/2 in OT, and being 0/10 in the series. Score 1 PPG and it doesn’t go to OT

Here's my take: why is the Rangers Canes series potentially 50% finished before the Nucks Oilers series has even begun? Scheduling such a 💩 show this year
Just be happy that we have hockey every day of the week and there are no breaks, would you have rather had days off in between the series so they lined up better? I think this works out fine, more hockey spread out is better than clumping it all together when nobody can watch.

@Siksdevcarolina is done for in this series. after we get down we flop. pretty sure every time we’ve been down 2-0 in a series its been a sweep. i dont think we’ve ever won a series after being down 1-0 lmao
@Siksdev i know thats my main complaint about it. on the powerplay all we do is pass and dont shoot, and float on the outside. NY has a elite pp and pk and ours, as previous years has flopped. we had more scoring chances and shots but ny had more high danger ones
I am a Ranger fan too... and I agree..The Canes have played great and this is a series that could still go 7 a bounce here or there and it is a different series.... I am reminded of the Stanley cup finals Rangers VS Kings where a lot of OT games that could have gone either way....
Refs were calling BS penalties against both teams. They called a weak one against the Rangers in both OTs. The differences is that the Rangers went 2/7 and the Canes went 0 for 5.
How many crazy deflections do you think the Canes can get on Shesterkin? 2 in game 2 made it a game and that crazy one off Lafrenière's stick in game one gave the Canes a chance. Their puck luck's going to run out eventually.
Canes fan here. This is so frustrating. Killed our own penalty not once but TWICE with stupid mistakes. And then once we were on the PP we didn't shoot. Rangers are capitalizing on our mistakes and Igor going god mode last night is giving me PTSD against Florida last year. We can win this series, we just have to stop beating ourselves.
This might be a hot take but watched the game last night and was fuming at how many bad calls or missed calls by the refs there were. The missed calls went both ways but there were definitely way more Carolina guys on the ice than whistles blown.
I watched this game and the colorado dallas game. I gotta say this one was so much faster i mean both teams were speeding up and down the ice it was some good hockey but I felt like the red heads were taking too many penalties throughout the game but it was a tremendous effort on their part to tie the series. Both these teams are a force this year.
This coming out during intermission for the second OT of the night is perfect timing :’) Anywho, Igor definitely carried the team until they got their second wind. The Canes (mainly Svechnikov) seem to be beating themselves.
for sure, the Rangers stole this game in all honesty. Losing a 2OT game is tough. The Canes won't go away though. Great coach, Brind'Amour won't allow it.
I saw my boys in blue struggling to get to pucks, win board battles, make passes, make defensive plays, and watched them practically dump and chase (or mostly just dump) pucks all game. Carolina had the puck for simply too much time. From the 3rd period on, outside a few opportunities it looked like they were skating in molasses. I fully expected to take an L here, but Igor stole this game. Reminded instantly of Hank putting on a clinic in front of incompetent defense. Hope to clean it up on the road!
Trouba is increasingly reminding me of Dan Girardi. The guy has been an absolute warrior and a great leader for NYR, but his play is clearly declining. Sadly I think they're going to have to get out of his contract
One of his really bad turnovers in the neutral zone led to a goal, totally reminded me of him. This rangers squad seems to be playing a really balanced game and limiting mistakes is high priority, so that's pretty bad.
Really simple, he went for a big hit and he ducked. Use your eyes. If you ever played hockey and are at full speed and whiff a check you are going flying. Literally a nothing play.
I can't get over how bad the ref's are in this series so far. so many missed calls. so many bad calls. the ref's are acting like theyre in over their heads
NHL refs are just bad all around. Most nights you can't even establish what is and isn't a penalty within the confines of the same game. They'll call/not call something early on, then the same thing will happen later in the game and they'll call it differently than they did earlier in the same game. All we ask for is some damn consistency.
@@Slowdough99Do you think the refs did a good job? Because they gave both some weak penalties and missed penalties as well. I don’t think that makes them good.
@@Slowdough99 I’ve been a die hard NY fan my whole life and I can put my bias aside and see how terrible the refs are. You’re either not watching or don’t know shit about hockey. They had 5 PP on paper…. 3 of them were negated by weak calls to make it 4 on 4. And one of those they did score on. Weak take bud and I want the rangers to win it all.
Also there were times when our top line was in zone and Carolina completely had it shut down. Like, concerning levels of 🔒 down. Lastly Rempe not getting a minute from the 3rd period on makes you wonder if a rusty Chytil is better than a loose cannon.
The Canes PP learned from the Isles in round 1. Pass the puck around for 45-60 before shooting a puck 3 ft wide of the net only for it to go out of the zone....rinse, repeat. Word of advice for the Canes. Do not mimic the Isles PP!!!
Canes suck at PP, have for the past few years. They do good in the regular season but playoff time they get stuck with 1 guy in the center just standing there while they pass it around the outside and let time run down.
Just watched the highlights wow what a game I feel this series is going to get better. Rangers took care of home ice let's see what the canes can do at home
My two cents as a person who has no dog in this fight (I'm neutral/friendly with regard to both teams): The Rangers giving up penalties like that will bite them in the ass if they keep it up. Carolina will figure out how to get the PPGs. Carolina: same advice, except that the Rangers already have your number. Get more disciplined. I called Rangers/Carolina with the Rangers in 7 way back at the beginning in my bracket. I still stand by that. Minor tweaks to that last game, and Rangers lose in reg 4-2. Carolina gets home ice next, and I think we'll see. MSG is a notoriously difficult place to get an away win in and both games were hard fought by both sides. I think this series and the Canucks/Oilers series will be the most exciting hockey this round.
@@Crmick-vo7pnIt’s ok if the refs call it. It’s not ok if the refs don’t call it. Simple as that. Consistency doesn’t matter, what matters is if the dudes in black and white made the right call, in which they did right here
this series is just fucking great. easy to say as a rangers fan when we are up 2-0 but the quality of play from both teams is really high across the board
can't beat playoff hockey, I grew up watching a TON of the main sports. Nothing is better than playoff hockey. Especially when the Rangers are doing well. :)
All we can hope for is a repeat of 2006; down 2-0 to Montreal and won 4 straight on the way to an eventual cup win. Unlikely to happen though. The injury bug with Pesce and Fast, the inconsistency of special teams with being one of the top PP and PK teams in the league during the regular season and then just falling apart in the playoffs is a killer. Igor is getting WAY to many easy shots that are keeping him hot and his head in the game. Hopefully our stars can stop trying to force a win, play disciplined hockey (SVECHNIKOV) and play the game has done so well for them over the regular season. If not, well the golf scene in Raleigh ain't too bad.
it's always interesting to me that special teams matter so much in the run to the Cup But in the finals 5 on 5 matters more because they call FAR less. It'd be nice if the whole run were the same
No dog in the fight but there was an obvious missed call when the Canes player tripped the Ranger D behind the net early on in OT...then the Canes had 2 PP's of their own. Overall Rangers are value for the 2-0 lead.
If the Hurricanes had even performed to HALF their regular season averages for PP/PK, this series would be 2-0 Carolina ... 0-10 PP, Allowed FOUR Rangers PP goals. This is the series in a nutshell ... special teams, one side's living up to the regular season rankings, the other has totally abandoned their regular season form.... guess which is which?
Tonight something under the radar is that after playing a game and a half is that the rangers trust more forwards to be on the ice allowing their big guns to be fresher during crucial PP moments. Only Rempe played less than 10 mins and 11 forwards played at least 15 mins. The canes whole fourth line played under 10 mins and barely played in OT, effectively they went with 9 forwards for most of the game. These little things matter in a series with 2 evenly matched teams it could easily be 1-1 going back to Carolina, we need to steal 1 in Carolina LGR!
The 4th line center could not make the game, moving a winger into a center position and bringing someone from the AHL who has only played a couple games as Cane as the winger to fill the position. Now, I don't disagree with you at all, but I can see why they didn't particularly trust that line
0 seconds ago I agree shot difference is not a great stat to look at and the advanced stats bear it out the Rangers had the much higher expected goal total from the 3rd period on into the first and second overtime with much higher danger chances. I thought CAR played a great roughly first -70% of the game but the Rangers got stronger as the game wore on. Ultimately it felt like the NYR were going to get it done given the pressure. CAR has been right there and they need to find a way to win both at home. CAR PP needs to wake up if they are going to have a chance.
Refs have been calling those soft push / cross checks all playoffs and in critical times. Against canes in 2OT, against Van in 3rd of gm 6, and at least a couple more come to mind. Let em play
then do not call the Goodrow penalty near the end of the first ...Rangers get the PP and their 4 on 4 goal is off the board and on point about the 2 missed calls just before
As a canes fan, we aren't winning of we cant score a powerplay or kill off a penalty. Thats what we've done all season, its what helped us win and get to the first round. The rangers are not gonna be easy and if we cant capitalize on someone like trouba in the box, might as well pack for Cabo now
Great win. Super entertaining! Trouba needs to stop taking stupid penalties... as the captain, you have to be more disciplined. Both games could have gone either way, but the reality is the Rangers have been more clutch. In my opinion, these are the top two teams (with a shout out to Dallas) in these playoffs. This serious won't be easy, and it is probably gonna go 7 games. Im just glad the Ranger's goalie, PP, & PK are elite.
Carolina favours the shooting-from-anywhere strategy all game long, so they often have high shot totals, even if they don’t have many great chances. Like where some teams will throw the puck down low and go battle for it again when they don’t have options, the Hurricanes will throw it on net for a weak SOG.
Regardless of what calls were made, 12 power plays is too many for a playoff game. The refs saw it get a little chippy early then tried to calm it down by calling too much. Ruins the flow of what's two great teams
That Guentzel penalty against Fox was horrible. Fox punches first, right in front of the ref, and then flops to the ground after Guentzel responds. This was just goddamn awful officitating over and over again.
Fox's punch was a bait. Guentzel's was with malice. Hate it or not being able to keep your head is important. I do agree that fox embellished the shit out of it just like Igor did but they are still penalties either way
@@HDreamerguentzel got punched earlier in the sequence too tho. He gets punched twice and refs don’t do jack and then call him for retaliation??? What’s he supposed to do? Let guys wreck his face? The refs gave him no choice but to punch back
@@denglish5shut up dude. Jake got punched twice. He had to punch back because it was clear last night the refs weren’t going to do shit about it. Both games so far the refs are allowing one team to play physical and not the other. Gotta stand up for yourself if the refs don’t
Die hard NYR fan here, 36 years and counting. I haven't felt great about the rangers overall through the first 2 games. I have been impressed by their resilience, their special teams, and Igor of course, but the canes have looked to be the team pushing the pace more often than not. Rangers have put on heavy pressure at times and also had as many good scoring opportunities but overall I feel the ice has been tilted a little bit throughout the first 2 games. Happy to be where we are though. Every team remaining is tough and you need every advantage you can get in these playoffs. LFGR!!!!
I'm only annoyed that THIS series is in the second round. The Canes having 111 points, being the overall 2nd best record in the East and playing a series on the road in the second round just feels wrong. But hey, the NHL loves their divisions.
As a Canes fan they are definitely horrible at special teams so far this series but what is driving me the most crazy is how easily they are coming off their discipline....not that they would have scored anyway but they miss 3 or 4 full power plays by taking stupid penalties right after starting a power play. Svech is off his rocker.......trochek baited guetzel (great play by Tro!!) and guetzel went for it. Very frustrating but outside of that the rangers PP is so scary!! Gotta win game 3 or the brooms come out. Go Canes!
As a Canes fan, the only positive I have from this series is I’m falling in love with the Ranger’s goals song. Which we’ve heard more than I’d like 😂 GG New York
They mentioned on the broadcast that the penalty had to be called because of the location on the ice. Although weak, it is a penalty and could have resulted in a breakaway. If it happened anywhere else on the ice, they probably don't make that call.
They had to call that. The Canes would have gotten a glorious scoring opportunity because of it. It wasn't the action itself, it was the place where it was done.
I am not a rangers fan, but to me that cross checking call is more or less textbook cross checking. Not a particularly hard crosscheck, but badly placed, and timed. That it led to the guy wiping out I think is the only reason it got called, but I have a hard time seeing it as a non-call that makes sense too. Both hands on the stick, and a shove using the stick, causing a turnover is fairly cut and dry. Now, if you wanted to say 5 on 5 via a diving penalty, sure. Id be surprised if the guy who charged for a headshot at the start of the video doesn't get a suspension, regardless of missing the hit
Canes fan here, frustration is definitely a good word to describe this series. The Canes powerplay has such good passing but nobody's willing to shoot, screen or move their feet to wear out the Rangers PK. Not to mention we get to watch as offer sheet KK is invisible and warms the bench during OT, meanwhile Troch scores the game winner because we let him walk. 5-on-5 though the Canes are definitely the better team thus far but special teams have to come back into form if we've got a shot. Good luck to your squad the rest of the way, hopefully the Canes make this a series in the next 2.
The thing is this probably isn't even top 3 most painful Hurricanes playoff losses in the last calendar year. Shoutout to the Rangers, but man Carolina has no puck luck come playoff time
So far this is exactly what I expect in this series- Igor is the difference maker. Canes are better 5-5 and Rangers special teams are better on PP and PK. It’s Igor that puts the Rangers at the decisive edge
Special teams are gonna kill the Canes in this series, and their fans are gonna complain just like LA about how the refs sold. When in reality, you can't be going 0/5 and saying the game was unfair 😂
That weak call was the dagger, but you can't go 0/5 and take yourself seriously as a contender. We're gonna be getting out the brooms if they can't at least be average on the PP.
@@patlaffey4687luck? aho made a great play to get it to guenztel, and their whole strategy revolves around tips and deflections, which is why all their goals have been that
Am I the only one that wasn't laughing at the Trouba/Necas almost-collision? I saw the way Trouba's skate was coming down right on Necas' head/neck region and got extremely scared. That could have been very, very bad.
The Officiating was bad. On both sides. Missed calls and obvious ones at that on both sides. However: this was the most exciting hockey game since the most recent regular season match between these very same teams. It was a clash of polar opposites. pure chaos versus absolute structure. It was close, entertaining, exciting and great hockey all around. Several points where i thought my rangers blew it and several points i thought the canes blew it. It was great, i want more of it. just better officiating.
Canes could have kept Trocheck if Tom Dundon didn't feel the need to troll Montreal. Now they're stuck with Kotkaniemi and not even playing him late in the third and in overtime.
Canes fans should be annoyed that their team went 0/5 on the PP tonight, including 0/2 in OT, and being 0/10 in the series. Score 1 PPG and it doesn’t go to OT
Believe me, I AM
Yea the fans have gone in full doomer mode after this game about the our pp, and probably rightfully so

(I'm neither a Rangers or Canes fan.)
@@Slowdough99you aren't supposed to leave your skates until after the main point of contact. He was literally going for a tackle and Necas ducked.
@@Slowdough99 Finally someone with common sense
I can't get over how bad the ref's are in this series so far. so many missed calls. so many bad calls. the ref's are acting like theyre in over their heads
Bro, Carolina had 5 PPS, Trouba took 4 penalties himself. Crying about refs. Hey........maybe score on any one of the five PP you had lmao
NHL refs are just bad all around. Most nights you can't even establish what is and isn't a penalty within the confines of the same game. They'll call/not call something early on, then the same thing will happen later in the game and they'll call it differently than they did earlier in the same game. All we ask for is some damn consistency.
@@Slowdough99Do you think the refs did a good job? Because they gave both some weak penalties and missed penalties as well. I don’t think that makes them good.
@@Slowdough99goals arent just pp lmao
@@Slowdough99 I’ve been a die hard NY fan my whole life and I can put my bias aside and see how terrible the refs are. You’re either not watching or don’t know shit about hockey.
They had 5 PP on paper…. 3 of them were negated by weak calls to make it 4 on 4. And one of those they did score on.
Weak take bud and I want the rangers to win it all.
Felt like we stole that one. Love your content btw.
Also there were times when our top line was in zone and Carolina completely had it shut down. Like, concerning levels of 🔒 down. Lastly Rempe not getting a minute from the 3rd period on makes you wonder if a rusty Chytil is better than a loose cannon.
Eck, what is your opinion on that attempted hit by trouba on necas there.
Thank you for that Tuba Fail , as a Ranger fan i’m not impressed by his play so far.
The Canes PP learned from the Isles in round 1. Pass the puck around for 45-60 before shooting a puck 3 ft wide of the net only for it to go out of the zone....rinse, repeat.
Word of advice for the Canes. Do not mimic the Isles PP!!!
Just got home from the Stars game :|
Now that was an upset
If it wasn't for Kilometer Wood the game would still be tied.
The fact that it is double ot, should have no impact on wheter you call a penalty or not.
Oilers: I can do better
Canes suck at PP, have for the past few years. They do good in the regular season but playoff time they get stuck with 1 guy in the center just standing there while they pass it around the outside and let time run down.
Just watched the highlights wow what a game I feel this series is going to get better. Rangers took care of home ice let's see what the canes can do at home
My two cents as a person who has no dog in this fight (I'm neutral/friendly with regard to both teams): The Rangers giving up penalties like that will bite them in the ass if they keep it up. Carolina will figure out how to get the PPGs. Carolina: same advice, except that the Rangers already have your number. Get more disciplined.
I called Rangers/Carolina with the Rangers in 7 way back at the beginning in my bracket. I still stand by that. Minor tweaks to that last game, and Rangers lose in reg 4-2. Carolina gets home ice next, and I think we'll see. MSG is a notoriously difficult place to get an away win in and both games were hard fought by both sides. I think this series and the Canucks/Oilers series will be the most exciting hockey this round.
That's a call all day long, rules don't change in overtime.
It’s the situation tho, you can’t not call that in regulation and then call the same thing O.T.
Should have taken both
Bro, what?
@@Crmick-vo7pnIt’s ok if the refs call it. It’s not ok if the refs don’t call it. Simple as that. Consistency doesn’t matter, what matters is if the dudes in black and white made the right call, in which they did right here
I want consistency not “ThE RogHt CaLl!! 🤓☝️
The intro😂😂
this series is just fucking great. easy to say as a rangers fan when we are up 2-0 but the quality of play from both teams is really high across the board
As a canes fan, I agree. If we lose, we know why. Each game has been entertaining.
A man of class and culture I see.. ol’ bold and brash does not belong in the trash!
can't beat playoff hockey, I grew up watching a TON of the main sports. Nothing is better than playoff hockey. Especially when the Rangers are doing well. :)
@@ryans3795sorry but not for nothing mostly every goal for canes was puck luck lol
aside from our former #2 pp (0/10) and #1 pk (55% against nyr) being absolutely atrocious. rangers wrap this up in 5
Trouba when he sees an unelbowed head:
What was Trouba trying to do with that elbow?
All we can hope for is a repeat of 2006; down 2-0 to Montreal and won 4 straight on the way to an eventual cup win. Unlikely to happen though. The injury bug with Pesce and Fast, the inconsistency of special teams with being one of the top PP and PK teams in the league during the regular season and then just falling apart in the playoffs is a killer. Igor is getting WAY to many easy shots that are keeping him hot and his head in the game. Hopefully our stars can stop trying to force a win, play disciplined hockey (SVECHNIKOV) and play the game has done so well for them over the regular season. If not, well the golf scene in Raleigh ain't too bad.
As a canes fan, it's been two very good games so far.
it's always interesting to me that special teams matter so much in the run to the Cup
But in the finals 5 on 5 matters more because they call FAR less. It'd be nice if the whole run were the same
At least nobody scored when ESPN switched broadcasts lmao, I think that’d be the worst way
No dog in the fight but there was an obvious missed call when the Canes player tripped the Ranger D behind the net early on in OT...then the Canes had 2 PP's of their own. Overall Rangers are value for the 2-0 lead.
Is it the second 5-hole Freddie's goal that is also a loosing goal for Carolina vs NYR?
If the Hurricanes had even performed to HALF their regular season averages for PP/PK, this series would be 2-0 Carolina ... 0-10 PP, Allowed FOUR Rangers PP goals. This is the series in a nutshell ... special teams, one side's living up to the regular season rankings, the other has totally abandoned their regular season form.... guess which is which?
Tonight something under the radar is that after playing a game and a half is that the rangers trust more forwards to be on the ice allowing their big guns to be fresher during crucial PP moments. Only Rempe played less than 10 mins and 11 forwards played at least 15 mins. The canes whole fourth line played under 10 mins and barely played in OT, effectively they went with 9 forwards for most of the game. These little things matter in a series with 2 evenly matched teams it could easily be 1-1 going back to Carolina, we need to steal 1 in Carolina LGR!
The 4th line center could not make the game, moving a winger into a center position and bringing someone from the AHL who has only played a couple games as Cane as the winger to fill the position. Now, I don't disagree with you at all, but I can see why they didn't particularly trust that line
Its the same shit every year and Carolina does nothing about it. Wash rinse repeat
Trouba with another of his patented flying elbows into the boards
Canes SHOULD have won that game...
BUT they didn't 🤨
that might have been a weak call, but the refs missed Zibanejad getting high sticked in the face in front of the net before this.

I agree shot difference is not a great stat to look at and the advanced stats bear it out the Rangers had the much higher expected goal total from the 3rd period on into the first and second overtime with much higher danger chances. I thought CAR played a great roughly first -70% of the game but the Rangers got stronger as the game wore on. Ultimately it felt like the NYR were going to get it done given the pressure. CAR has been right there and they need to find a way to win both at home. CAR PP needs to wake up if they are going to have a chance.
Refs have been calling those soft push / cross checks all playoffs and in critical times. Against canes in 2OT, against Van in 3rd of gm 6, and at least a couple more come to mind. Let em play
Trouba with a spectacular miss! Good thing he missed because if he had he connected, I could see supplemental discipline.
then do not call the Goodrow penalty near the end of the first ...Rangers get the PP and their 4 on 4 goal is off the board and on point about the 2 missed calls just before
Goodrow was called for the same penalty in the 1st.
Refs will make this call 100% of the time because of where the puck was.
As a canes fan, we aren't winning of we cant score a powerplay or kill off a penalty. Thats what we've done all season, its what helped us win and get to the first round. The rangers are not gonna be easy and if we cant capitalize on someone like trouba in the box, might as well pack for Cabo now
Great win. Super entertaining! Trouba needs to stop taking stupid penalties... as the captain, you have to be more disciplined. Both games could have gone either way, but the reality is the Rangers have been more clutch. In my opinion, these are the top two teams (with a shout out to Dallas) in these playoffs. This serious won't be easy, and it is probably gonna go 7 games. Im just glad the Ranger's goalie, PP, & PK are elite.
Carolina favours the shooting-from-anywhere strategy all game long, so they often have high shot totals, even if they don’t have many great chances. Like where some teams will throw the puck down low and go battle for it again when they don’t have options, the Hurricanes will throw it on net for a weak SOG.
Regardless of what calls were made, 12 power plays is too many for a playoff game. The refs saw it get a little chippy early then tried to calm it down by calling too much. Ruins the flow of what's two great teams
That Guentzel penalty against Fox was horrible. Fox punches first, right in front of the ref, and then flops to the ground after Guentzel responds. This was just goddamn awful officitating over and over again.
That was just classic "refs only call the retaliation", it's not really new.
Fox's punch was a bait. Guentzel's was with malice. Hate it or not being able to keep your head is important. I do agree that fox embellished the shit out of it just like Igor did but they are still penalties either way
They'll always call the retaliation. That's how the matter works these days
@@HDreamerguentzel got punched earlier in the sequence too tho. He gets punched twice and refs don’t do jack and then call him for retaliation??? What’s he supposed to do? Let guys wreck his face? The refs gave him no choice but to punch back
@@denglish5shut up dude. Jake got punched twice. He had to punch back because it was clear last night the refs weren’t going to do shit about it. Both games so far the refs are allowing one team to play physical and not the other. Gotta stand up for yourself if the refs don’t
Special teams. Special plays. Special players. Let’s win this brother ☝️ 🤓

Laffy score 2nd goal when i pee in bathroom
I was in the washroom too and heard Laffy 's goal. But Mr 2 was more important
second OT kilt me as a canes rangers fan
Such a bummer. I would love to see the Canes have success.
Good teams find a way to win. That’s what you gotta do for these 16 wins
Indeed!!
Die hard NYR fan here, 36 years and counting. I haven't felt great about the rangers overall through the first 2 games. I have been impressed by their resilience, their special teams, and Igor of course, but the canes have looked to be the team pushing the pace more often than not. Rangers have put on heavy pressure at times and also had as many good scoring opportunities but overall I feel the ice has been tilted a little bit throughout the first 2 games. Happy to be where we are though. Every team remaining is tough and you need every advantage you can get in these playoffs. LFGR!!!!
Rangers have more scoring chances every game
I'm only annoyed that THIS series is in the second round. The Canes having 111 points, being the overall 2nd best record in the East and playing a series on the road in the second round just feels wrong. But hey, the NHL loves their divisions.
As a Canes fan they are definitely horrible at special teams so far this series but what is driving me the most crazy is how easily they are coming off their discipline....not that they would have scored anyway but they miss 3 or 4 full power plays by taking stupid penalties right after starting a power play. Svech is off his rocker.......trochek baited guetzel (great play by Tro!!) and guetzel went for it. Very frustrating but outside of that the rangers PP is so scary!! Gotta win game 3 or the brooms come out. Go Canes!
As a Canes fan, the only positive I have from this series is I’m falling in love with the Ranger’s goals song. Which we’ve heard more than I’d like 😂 GG New York
WOAAHHHHHHHH
you guys should another throwback and wear the good ole Hartford Whaler sweaters and bring back Brass Bonanza :)
The Rangers better figure out how to win a game with a more commanding lead. These one goal wins won’t last forever in their favor.
They mentioned on the broadcast that the penalty had to be called because of the location on the ice. Although weak, it is a penalty and could have resulted in a breakaway. If it happened anywhere else on the ice, they probably don't make that call.
They had to call that. The Canes would have gotten a glorious scoring opportunity because of it. It wasn't the action itself, it was the place where it was done.
yeah that cross checking call was pretty bad with a bunch of missed calls in that game I wouldn't call it
I am not a rangers fan, but to me that cross checking call is more or less textbook cross checking. Not a particularly hard crosscheck, but badly placed, and timed. That it led to the guy wiping out I think is the only reason it got called, but I have a hard time seeing it as a non-call that makes sense too. Both hands on the stick, and a shove using the stick, causing a turnover is fairly cut and dry. Now, if you wanted to say 5 on 5 via a diving penalty, sure.
Id be surprised if the guy who charged for a headshot at the start of the video doesn't get a suspension, regardless of missing the hit
Canes fan here, frustration is definitely a good word to describe this series. The Canes powerplay has such good passing but nobody's willing to shoot, screen or move their feet to wear out the Rangers PK. Not to mention we get to watch as offer sheet KK is invisible and warms the bench during OT, meanwhile Troch scores the game winner because we let him walk. 5-on-5 though the Canes are definitely the better team thus far but special teams have to come back into form if we've got a shot. Good luck to your squad the rest of the way, hopefully the Canes make this a series in the next 2.
So bias lol not a rangers fan rangers have more scoring chances and better power play and kill and golie you will be lucky if canes get 1 game 😂
Igor is going to put the team on his back all the way to the finals
The thing is this probably isn't even top 3 most painful Hurricanes playoff losses in the last calendar year.
Shoutout to the Rangers, but man Carolina has no puck luck come playoff time
So far this is exactly what I expect in this series- Igor is the difference maker. Canes are better 5-5 and Rangers special teams are better on PP and PK. It’s Igor that puts the Rangers at the decisive edge
Rangers aren’t even playing bad on. 5on5 they have more scoring chances past 2 games ?
Special teams are gonna kill the Canes in this series, and their fans are gonna complain just like LA about how the refs sold. When in reality, you can't be going 0/5 and saying the game was unfair 😂
Let me tell you, most canes fans are blaming the PP before anything else
That weak call was the dagger, but you can't go 0/5 and take yourself seriously as a contender. We're gonna be getting out the brooms if they can't at least be average on the PP.
@@thatonewriter8043not for nothing to every single goal canes got was off luck and I don’t like rangers
@@patlaffey4687luck? aho made a great play to get it to guenztel, and their whole strategy revolves around tips and deflections, which is why all their goals have been that
TIL the Star Wars analysis dog youtuber follows sports. Definitely gonna subscribe now, even if you’re a Rags fan (go Flyers)
Overall a great game, but a tough loss for this Carolina fan.
Am I the only one that wasn't laughing at the Trouba/Necas almost-collision? I saw the way Trouba's skate was coming down right on Necas' head/neck region and got extremely scared. That could have been very, very bad.
The Officiating was bad. On both sides. Missed calls and obvious ones at that on both sides. However: this was the most exciting hockey game since the most recent regular season match between these very same teams. It was a clash of polar opposites. pure chaos versus absolute structure. It was close, entertaining, exciting and great hockey all around. Several points where i thought my rangers blew it and several points i thought the canes blew it. It was great, i want more of it. just better officiating.
Canes could have kept Trocheck if Tom Dundon didn't feel the need to troll Montreal. Now they're stuck with Kotkaniemi and not even playing him late in the third and in overtime.
lol I’m neither fan it was a crazy game from my standpoint the hit was hilarious
