This team drives me nuts. Can never keep it simple. That was a horrible end to the period. Gonna be 3-3 if they keep up that play.

Yup need to pick it up and play to win

The Isles need to play a more compact game. They continually try to exit the zone with stretch passes that either end up as turnovers or icing.

The back to back powerplays were a killer and really tilted the game even more. Prior to that, the Isles were being outplayed but were extremely defensively aware and responsible, minimizing the Canes chances.
Just gotta relax and play smart. No more penalties

There's no way they gonna last another 20 minutes playing like this.

Nope. Canes know if they win this game they win the series. Islanders finished that period scared. Hopefully they find another gear for the third.

They can’t find a way around the canes man to man coverage. That’s their answer which is imperfect.

Jesus Barzal no effort on the clear leads to penalty. These guys are giving this one away.

Really bad shift by Casey ends up with a penalty

Jesus they are getting beat to every puck

Like killing a 12 minute powerplay.

How many times has Pelech iced the puck unnecessarily tonight?

We’ve had the puck a combined :45 the entire period so far.

Isles get one shot maybe each rush. Canes get two minutes of constant pressure on their offense possessions. Brutal to watch.

Went for the block which was fine Varly needs to track that one, but it was a tough shot
