Unfortunately that seems to have been the gameplan out of the gate. Don’t worry about offense, just keep it close knowing they are going to throw everything they have. Can’t say I agree with that strat. Would rather try to punch them in the mouth and take it

Right. This had nothing to do with Carolina taking liberties because Rempe is out lol Rangers have twice now gotten right up in Kochetkov’s grill after they whistle. They have been the antagonizers tonight

Oh yeah? Well FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUNNY YOU!

I’ve been to many Rangers/Canes regular season games down here and yeah it’s always been like that. I went to game 5 2 years ago expecting about the same and it wasn’t like that. Canes fans seemed to hold onto their tickets pretty good, and it was the loudest event I can ever recall attending. Ear splitting

Having trouble envisioning any of those tbh

no you

If a goalie is on and stopping everything, chucking with bodies in front is the way. If there were no special teams last game, Carolina probably would have had a higher probability of scoring a pinball goal. Eventually that chuck from the blue line hits 3 skates on the way in

yes, and measure in centimeters to feel better

Rod the bod sounds a little desperate looking to catch lightning in a bottle with the goalie switch

There’s plenty of pictures online. Here’s one

I might go to game 4 so it'd be pretty nice to be up 3-0.

He's not in his teens or early 20s anymore, so that seems unlikely. I'm not concerned about it like you are though.

That was for 3rd period/OT only, but the OT goal shifted Freddy into the negative on high danger. It only reached 2OT because he also made plenty of really good saves, high danger included. “Just about” wasn’t good enough though that’s why I said it lol

It could be. I missed portions of the 1st/2nd because kids bedtime so I could have missed waves of Carolina domination, but this was Valley sharing expected for the 3rd and OT where I was glued to the tv… Way more even in expected and in line with what I was seeing. After Kreider’s goal the goalies were so good

That graphic feels way off. NST had it way more even both at 5v5 and all strengths, and as I watched the game I thought it was way more even without even looking. Not taking away from Igor at all but I thought Freddy had to be just about as good. People have to dig deeper than shot differential. Typically Carolina also dominates at high danger and that’s where the ice tilts. They haven’t here at all, and the low danger bullshit is like posting thoughts and prayers on facebook after a tragedy
