This is so goddamn cool!

Though, im waiting for someone from this forum to reach out to him and tell him why having Rempe in the lineup is a bad idea.

Another nice, long break after a real battle against Carolina. 

Hopefully we can get a healthy Fox and Chytl from this stretch of rest.

I would rather face Boston. Florida has more depth and scoring, gets a little dirtier with a strong forecheck, and I'd rather face Swayman than Bobrovsky.

The National Weather Service has downgraded the Carolina Hurricanes to the Carolina Tropical Vacations. 

Tropical Depression lol

Unless Chyts is ready to go, I put Rempe in the 1st game if it's against Florida. Those guys hit, a lot. If Boston, dunno......I might leave Brodz in.

Has anyone checked to see if CanesFanRandy is ok?

Three.

Three shots on goal in the 1st period.

Jesus fucking christ.....

I'm old, smoke too many cigars, drink too much whiskey, work too many hours, have a bad ankle and make questionable choices.....my heart can't take a game 7 this series.

Let's end this!!

Ugh, was hoping we wouldn't see the Miller/Trouba pairing again. Why the split, is there a metric I'm missing on the Miller/Schneider pairing? I didn't think Trouba was playing all that great, but I'm not a coach so I dunno.

Considering the next round will be more than likely Florida, and they love to hit (the hits in their series with Boston are insane).......do you bring Rempe in for that one, to try and keep them honest? Or just for the home games? Or do you keep him out with the hopes the Panthers play their game and catch penalties? 

We need to crush them and get out of this round injury-free. Play your game, take the game and the series, get everyone back up to full health. We're gonna need all hands on deck against Florida.

Not to make y'all jealous, but I'll miss at least the 1st two periods, as I have to attend an 8th grade jazz band concert. Have you ever heard 8th graders attempt a "jazzy" version of Welcome to the Jungle? It's literally as bad as it sounds.

And you thought listening to Ferraro was bad.....

With a training camp and some weight room time in the off season, those guys will be tougher!  I like Edstrom's board work...guy's a beast!

The Twin Towers, crushing opponents left and right. I can't wait lol

I think I dig Lavvy's idea during his presser;  it was something along the lines of getting the matchups he wanted while on the road. 

 

That's coach's thinking, and not "fan thinking".  I think I'll roll with Lavvy's choices.  I think he's got our backs on this one.  We have plenty of years to watch Rempe, and I bet we haven't seen the last of him in these playoffs anyway.

Absolutely. Just imagine next year, with both Rempe and Edstrom on the 4th line. Monsters!

That's where getting Chytil involved comes in. He might make something out of Kakko and that 3rd line in general. Last time Kakko was truly buzzing, it was on the same line with Chytil. That Cuylle-Wennberg-Kakko line had been responsible and you could trust it not to blow the game, but they weren't contributing a lick offensively.

I'd still like to see Chyts centering Kakko & Cools on the 3rd, with Wennberg dropped to centering the 4th. Won't win many faceoffs, but I feel like it generates a little more offense. And when Goodie was on the wing late in the season is when he started scoring. Dunno, just a shot.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

LGR!!!

I wonder if he is still shaken up over the hit from Game 4 against Washington.

 

Hes played great. Few times I noticed that Gustafsson got time with PP1 outside of him needing to sit for the beginning of it due to being checked out or just lost in a line change quickly or something along those lines.

 

Its playoffs. All these guys are a little banged up.

Was listening to Vinces podcast this morning, he mentioned the same thing - thought it was that hit from Jensen against Washington.

Any word from practice on the official line-up for tonight?

What's the over/under on how many times they bring up Shesterkin's playoff string of consecutive games with 3 or less goals let up?

I just heard this for the 1st time the other day, had to double check on it. Pretty impressive though.

I hate to tinker with what's working, but personally, I sit him. Obviously I'd rather see Chyts come back, slot him into the 3rd line and drop Wennberg to center the 4th. I have some reservations that he slides in seamlessly, considering how long he's been off, but all indications are that he's been participating 100% in practice for a month now, so I have to feel he has a sense of the Lavi game plan. If he's not ready to go, I think Brodz centering the 4th works out ok as well. He centered the 4th for a few games at the end of the season, and that line was buzzing. It gives them a little more speed, and if I remember correctly, that's when Goodrow started producing by playing on the wing. 

And please keep in mind, I absolutely LOVE Rempe. I just think I'd rather be able to roll all 4 lines without hesitation and not make someone double shift late in these games. I want these guys fresh, the playoffs are only going to get harder as we go.

*first time hearing the term "health bomb", visibly confused, but trying to play it cool*

I’m just happy we got a game where the refs were meeting expectations 

You should see the Canes message boards right now, they clearly disagree. Never mind the fact they've had 10 PPs and haven't scored on one yet lol

Had to drag myself to bed before the 2nd OT for an 0430 wake up, was woken up in the middle of the night because of heavy thunderstorms. Rolled over, checked the score, and had to do a double take. Could NOT get myself back to sleep, still on cloud 9!

My ass will be dragging later, but holy hell is it worth it!
