  1. I'm a Caps fan and I'm not even mad. Canes deserved to win. I wish the Caps had some more energy and put up a better fight, but honestly Canes deserved to win.

  2. Well, I know which team in the east I'll be cheering for for the rest of these playoffs – I really hope the Canes makes the final

  3. Ehhh sorry but that 1-1 goal by the caps the punk did not take a odd bounce off the boards.
    it was a bad pass or a brain fart was pretty clear with that angle it would bounce towards the cans goal.

  4. Panthers fan here. Canes is the one team I feel will give us problems. With that said, if we advance, I expect a grind.

  5. Ha, very charitable calling those 'falls' by Tom Wilson! Crazy that a PP wasn't enough, and he was desperately reaching for the 5/3. However, I will say that he played his ass off, and honestly, laid some hard but completely clean hits. He and Staal went back and forth a little, but nothing terrible.

  6. Oafechkin can't lead his team out of a wet paper bag. Pathetic team that got exposed. If he's not continuing his steroid cycle next season, he needs to retire

  7. Hopefully this isn't the last game Carolina wins in these playoffs… They can't keep getting swept in the Conference Finals can they?!?

  8. All I have to say is F Wilson for doing the storm surge in Staals face in game 4. They deserve to go home. He is such a douche!

  9. To be fair, Rod has been burned this season on obviously winnable challenges. I bet he was still nervous to challenge even that clear of an offside.

  10. Oh now you want to wear the Hurricanes jersey, not before the series though…had the Caps jersey on. It's alright, we have lots of doubters and haters (Subban ranking us last place, Biz always talking shit, etc.), always will. That will never change.

  11. Appreciate this review. Watching TSN this morning got the winnipeg win over dallas, then the Blue Jays apparently lost a regular season baseball game. Then there was some complaining about what the Leafs have done. Then Team canada beats Austria at the worlds. Still waiting to hear about Carolina closing out Washington.

  12. sorta out of right field comment, but Carolina just knocked out Washington and today their respective Farm Teams faceoff to begin a best of 5 in the AHL.

  13. Canes difference this year is not winning the division so that means they were able to rest the last few weeks of the season and get healthy. Big difference then years past when they gave out of energy which the system requires

  14. I predicted the Canes would win in 5 and that the Caps were a house of cards. Alex, the so-called great, had 1 point in the series.

  15. i thought nikishin got a lot better after some early sloppiness with the puck (and the turnover for the goal that never was). obviously tough to expect too much out of him on a night like tonight, doesn’t speak the language, first game in THIS setting against a good team fighting for their lives…

    that said, the one shift in the second was a sign of things to come: played great defense on ovi, caused the turnover where stankoven won the race and got them O zone possession, then had a MONSTER one time clapper that thompson made arguably his best save of the game on. well located blocker side and heavy. also made a poised saucer pass to the middle and cut down to the circle for a pass and another one timer from roslovic on that same shift. he looked AWESOME that shift. flashes are all you can really ask for in a game like this, and that one shift was a massive one.

  16. Thanks for taking care of the Caps. From a Habs fan. I said I'd get a Canes shirt if they took Washington out. I think a Whalers one might do.

  17. As a Caps fan, this was most fun season since 2018 and because of that, the most upset I’ve been about a playoff series loss since then too. I was hoping that for such a special season, it would end in perfect fashion. Alas, the magic ran out. Canes were super good and my head told me Canes in 6 while my heart wanted me to believe Caps in 7. Canes are a frustratingly good team, and that’s a compliment. Best of luck to Canes fans reading this, but let’s go Caps and hope for a better season next year!
