Anders Lee has played his best hockey during this series in nearly three years

Aho sucks balls

I’m not a fan, but at least he can skate against the Canes.

Don't ask... dont tell

Ask the other Aho because he scores virtually every game our Aho is in

He gets thrown around like a flea. I'd rather run Bolduc out there at that point. (Not saying much)

Less chance to get thrown around against the Canes, but no great options. I’d like to see Bolduc play more next year. Maybe a better coach than Houda can help?

ok perfect now it's time to get them booing the refs instead of cheering their team for the rest of the game

They score here... no harm no foul...

These guys look like they haven't been practicing with a puck again

At least things have appeared to settle down. Nice shift by the Barzal line.

The only thing this game is missing is the beer guy lacing them up and an ice girl fight.

Varly got abused there. Kuz is arguably the best penalty shot guy in the league

You can thank Dobson’s horrific giveaway for that one.

Funny how other teams have the skill to pull off moves like that.

They need a shot clock on these penalty shots.

Dobson needs a lot of work on defense.

Best thing for a goalie to do with Kuznetsov is charge him and poke. Varly backed in before poking which gave him too much net

They look awful.
Engvall takes a pass and goes in one on one. Then it becomes one on two, one on three, one on FOUR. Nelson and Palms took a lifetime to finally enter the zone.

The Isles' only chance is to pick up their physical play. They can't outskill them.

I’m repeating myself ad nauseum here but all they do is shoot the puck…from anywhere.

They’re beating our doors in and we’re still flinging blind passes around and skating around the perimeter. WE’RE LITERALLY WATCHING A TEAM DOMINATE US by just shooting the puck and all these years later…we still don’t (frank)ing shoot! The literal definition of insanity. Shoot the (frank)ing thing, just like they do. You can’t score a goal skating around the perimeter or passing five times in a row, never shooting it.

/rant over

They’re also way better than us but that’s neither here nor there. This team seems like it was happy just not to get swept and Dobson has to be hurt because he’s just costing himself money at this point.

I'm watching on TBS. They has Robin Salo in the starting lineup. I almost choked . Anyway it's looking a lot like game 2 only this time the score is pointing the correct way.

That penalty shot is an embarrassment to hockey because at no point in play could you ever do that. There should be a 5 second timer in the shootout and if you don't shoot it you lose your attempt.

I’m just hoping Hudson Fasching checks someone.

Too slow, undertalented and I'm afraid there are a few guys who just don't always bring the emotion/energy.
We have our 4th line center trying to masquerade as a top line winger. Then there's the total regression of our 'top pairing dmen
