8/19 - Canes (Game 5). Let's win a series.

[Maximus]

That was a snipe. Get the next one.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

If Pasta's last shift is what we're looking at today, he should have sat again.

 

[durandal1707]

Don't feel that the effort has been too bad, despite the score.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Ridiculous he saved that

 

[joe dokes]

Kase has got to get one here somewhere. He's in every play in a positive way when he's on the ice.

 

[Maximus]

Need a good kill here

 

[durandal1707]

That's a hook?

 

[Cotillion]

That needs to be the standard for the rest of the game then for the Canes. I won't hold my breath.

 

[durandal1707]

Good kill.

 

[Cotillion]

Bruins lucky they aren't down by more now.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Not playing terribly but just a bit sloppy in the D end.

 

[Maximus]

Lucky to be only down one

 

[Dummy Hoy]

Credit to the canes- playing like a team whose season is on the line.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Lot of hockey left in this one.

Not surprised to see Carolina come out swinging, that’s not a team that will pack it in, series deficit and Game 4 collapse notwithstanding.

 

[cshea]

That period was quite poor. Started off OK but it wasn't good by the end.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Not a terrible period but need to generate more chances. Pasta waited too long on Mrazek to make the first move on his chance. Just get the next one and we’ll be fine.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

Carolina punched back - but it’s not enough.

Pasta won‘t flub another one on the doorstep. A PP would be nice, let Pasta rip a one timer.

Cassidy will get them ready for the second.

 

[IdiotKicker]

I’d like to spend more time in Carolina’s end. And their goal.

 

[FelixMantilla]

Not looking good so far.

 

[cshea]

Miserable

 

[Maximus]

Pasta at 1/2 speed

 

[durandal1707]

Would prefer Carlo not try cutesy moves when jumping up.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Ok now they are playing terribly.

 

[Bozo Texino]

Jesus.

 

[JCizzle]

Oh my goodness Pasta

 

[Dropkick Izzy]

Jesus H. Christ

 

[The Napkin]

Bs got away with too many men there

 

[reggiecleveland]

Pasta are you kidding

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That was a ridiculous sequence.

 

[Cotillion]

Ugh... way too many moves by Pasta on the breakaway

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Pasta at 1/2 speed

Trying to kick the nagging feeling that it would be better to have another warm body out there and give Pasta more rest, instead he's out there taking hits while being totally ineffective.

 

[BigSoxFan]

That was...unfortunate

 

[Cotillion]

This is going to be a hugely frustrating game to watch.

 

[durandal1707]

Too many one-and-dones on offense.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Pasta waited too long again!!

 

[The Napkin]

Just plain not good enough so far

 

[durandal1707]

Halak keeping them in this.

 

[TSC]

Pasta's deke was so effective it actually ended up fucking him. Had Reimer not fallen on his ass awkwardly kicking the puck in the process, Pasta has a clean goal.

Bummer.

 

[Maximus]

Halak keeping us in striking distance

 

[Cotillion]

That needs to be the standard for the rest of the game then for the Canes. I won't hold my breath.

As expected, it has not been the standard for the rest of the game.

 

[The Napkin]

Preach it, Brick

 

[shawnrbu]

Where’s the forecheck? Brick wants them to chip and chase.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Trying to be too cute with low percentage passes in neutral zone and in their own zone right now. Pressing.

 

[cshea]

Scoring chances are 24-8 Carolina. Ugly.

 

[IdiotKicker]

I want more hits. Hits breed fear. Fear breeds turnovers. Turnovers breed shots. Shots breed goals.

 

[durandal1707]

Simplify. Pucks in deep, forecheck, shots on net.

 

[BostonFanInCanesLand]

That pass from DeBrusk to Kase almost worked.

 

[LogansDad]

Looks like they are sleepwalking through it so far.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Looks like they are sleepwalking through it so far.

Comebacks are great but best not to make a habit of needing them.

 

[cshea]

Interference with Hamilton dumping Lindholm in front away from the puck.
