Open Post- The Two Home Teams Need A Win Tonight

05/09/2024 at 6:34pm EDT

The Hurricanes really need a win tonight or they will be facing elimination on Saturday night.

The Stars do not want to be down 0-2 heading to Colorado for their game on Saturday.

Cigar-Nurse

Refs up to shenanigans with the hurricane penalties again.

If I count correctly, the Rangers have scored more goals while on the penalty kill then they have allowed. They are truly bizarre.

rwbill

NYR are just lethal.  Fast and smooth.  They all know where each other will be.  

rwbill

Can the Canes finally get a PP goal?  The season may be riding on it. 

Kate

The history between Laviolette and BrindAmour makes this matchup all the more interesting.. 

VPalmer

Rangers have a 3-0 lead after being thoroughly outplayed in all 3 games (especially the last 2)

rwbillVPalmer

Yes they have been, other than the few special situations which they have owned the canes.

Chet

what to even say? i have no dog in this fight, but...poor canes and their fans. just...wow. SOG alone.

TreKronor

I had the canes going to the ECF. Whoops. I feel for them because they've been good the last few years but just can't quite Crack that final level. 

TreKronor

Benn with shoulder to Toews head. He lunged into it and left his feet on the follow through. 

Of course, no penalty. I don't get this league. 

calquakeTreKronor

Well it's obvious, Toews head never separated from his neck. /s

Benn is a dirty player. Always has been, always will be.

Paul

Officials huddled, called a major.  Then reviewed, no penalty.  Toews to the room.

SYFPaul

That puts COL down one defenseman so the the remaining d-men get extra shifts.  More shifts = more ice time = more stress.  It's gonna wear  them down.

SYF

Joining in the DAL/COL game in the 2nd period and seeing a 2-nil DAL lead. 

SYF

Saw the replay of the Benn hit on Toew's head.  

This league.

Paul

As General MacArthur said, "I shall return," around 3am.

SYF

That ice is ridiculous.  It's worse than backyard ice ponds.

SYF

4-nil DAL.  Finally, the $9.85 million man gets ... one ... goal.

SYF

DAL just keeps shooting and rushing up ice even with a 4-nil lead, unlike EDM with a 4-1 lead.

SYF

Well, at least the Avs didn't get shut out.  1-4 DAL.

TreKronor

I had to step away for the night. I could see this series going 7. It's a chess match so far

SYF

WTF???  2-4 DAL.  It's almost like watching the same exact bullshit as the VAN/EDM game.

SYF

With the extra attacker for COL, it is now 3-4 DAL.  

SYF

And DAL gets stupid.  It will be a 6-on-4 PP for COL with less than 3  minutes to go in the third.
