insane stat: if you take away 5 on 3 points then in 8 games against the hurricanes this year, regular season and playoffs, ovi only has one point: an assist. They’ve shut him down
ref you suck cause they remember them missing the pen on the caps when the canes were on the power play the other game
that hall goal, where the caps had scored and were pushing, is the goal that offen eludes the canes this time of year
Caps are going to go heavy on game 5, canes will rearm and take it at home in game 6.
As a devils fan. My devils could at least score and take the lead with 1/2 the defense missing against the Canes. Washington is not coming back from this.
Canes looking sharp. Caps tired from the season, spent too much of it helping Ovi beat the record, and forgot how to play.
Very entertaining game as a canes fan
Ooh I love your hat
This is a throwback Caps series to when we use to be the number 1 seed and lose in the 2nd round rather than the 1st Round losing we were use to
Thank you.
"No forwards Carolina" has been the odds on favorite to win the cup for months. Considering they are still outshooting ALL of their opponents, and have been NHL's highest shooting team for 5+ years straight, so the saying of Canes having no top skill forwards is strongly exaggerated.
As a neutral, I would have loved to see the Canadiens in this series. The Capitals does not have it this year to be in the final four. 🧡💛🧡
Carolina is simply the better team with the hotter Goalie. It wouldn’t surprise me at all for them to finish the series in DC in the next game.
Dang, I really thought that the Caps would dominate with a heavy style ala St Louis in round 1, but it seems like it's the Carolina team game that is unstoppable now.
Thanks for all the great content Shannon. You deserve every follower that you get.
349 !!!…
Caps will come out strong next game, but if carolina can score first, and score early, I think Washington fades out.
Killing off that 4 minute PP was the game for me. 1-1 going into the 2nd is a very different game.
I agree, the fans yelling " Ref You Suck " was dumb af.
Shoutout to Hall who was playing great even before his goal.
If canes are gonna take two mins for getting punched in the face the past two games might as well give them something to penalize.
The rare Trojan stick gambit from Carolina
The clownitals are going to be reduced to a wild card contender next season unless oafechkin
continues reaching his hand into the roid stash.
Carolina has been looking sharp.
If the greatest goal scorer of all time can only bury one on a 5 on 3 then you know the canes are playing top notch Defense. I wonder when the TV talking heads will finally notice that the Canes are a good TEAM and not just a collection of hot shot names like some other squads out there.
Goaltending has been the difference to me. Anderson stands on his head when he needs to and LT has been letting in bad/soft goals.
Washington's power play has alternated between very good and worst in the league. They drew worst in the league for the Carolina series. They've been outshot on the power play and wasted a 4 minute advantage not even getting the puck in the zone. Maybe get another power play coach next year. And they don't take Carlson off it no matter how bad he plays, and he's played very bad in the playoffs. It's been painful to watch.
What the fans didn't realize was the Caps player who Orlov interfered with was not the one who dumped the puck in. Now I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but it was obviously interference, and I tried to explain that to some of the folks around me to no avail. Passion sometimes comes with blinders.
Frustrating series as a caps fan, canes simply executing their systems at a higher level
"At a minute and forty-three left in the five on four the referee is informed that he sucks"… my God I love this channel! 😂😂😂
Canes have been very impressive so far. Always fun to watch this team and they have been giving me “team of destiny” vibes lately. Maybe, just maybe, another Stanley Cup this year? Still have to finish the Caps and remain consistent the rest of the way. And even without being a high scoring team, I’ll take those W’s for Carolina no matter how they get it done.
Washington is going to pull it off.
349, it's because you make the playoffs every year
CONGRATULATIONS
👍🩵🙏
Vegas and Washington are on the ropes. Hopefully Jets win tonight. But i think Dallas will have them on the ropes. But we shall see.
Wouldnt be playoff hockey if the refereeing wasnt comment worthy 🎉
People were chanting that the ref sucked because to that point Washington had 5 power plays and Carolina had 1. They wouldn't call anything against Washington the whole game and that's what everyone was upset about.
The fans weren’t chanting “ref you suck” because they thought Orlov didn’t commit a penalty. They chanted it because the refs had been letting the Caps getting away with the exact same infraction all night.
I almost feel sorry for Spencer Carberry at this point. You could see his frustration when they interviewed him in one of the powerbreak.
Carolina clearly the better team and Andersen probably the best goalie in the playoffs right now imo.
Disappointed as I am a Caps fan. Without LT in goal it would have been worse. Only positive thing I can see right now from my team is Thompson in the net at this point. Carolina will win in either game 5 or 6.😢
The issue isn't with Orlov being called for a 5v3, its all the obvious non-calls by officials that kept the canes off of their own 5v3. I respect that the refs want to keep things to 5v5 and 5v4 and yes, the Orlov play couldn't be ignored, I just want them to call the Caps when they make blatant penalties on their PK. Is that so much to ask? To call the game and not just manage it?
I'll defend the "ref you suck" chant. Sure, it was a letter of the law penalty. It's also nothing compared to what they've let slide even in this series, and forget about the other Eastern matchup. It was a pretty egregious call to make in that situation, to put them 5 on 3.
