Playoff GDT: Round 1, Game 1 Canes v. Senators 4/18 3:00

[StormChaserBH]

Skate deflection I guess

 

[HurryCanes]

Refs are putting away the whistles on the senator goonery. Don’t take the bait boys.

 

[andyt]

Hall goal if I overheard the announcer

Yep, from Stanky and Blake

 

[ksbeecane]

Are Aho and Jarvis playing injured or sick? They are not helping Svech at all and are really a non-factor thus far

 

[StormChaserBH]

Ugh dogpog. 6 on 4

Freddy first, Stankoven second and Blake third star in my book. But man, this is not going to be easy.

It will be easy

So why exactly did Tkachuk feel the need to drop the gloves 3 seconds in?

Because he’s a piece of shit

Slavin’s last shift started with 4:17 left in the game. It ended with 9 seconds left. A Herculean 4:08 shift

The crowd was rockin' and the Canes played a really good game over 3 periods. Our PP sucked, but other than that, I can't find much to complain about, except that I'd like to see Aho and Jarvis be more of a presence. Svech was good, the defense was good and Freddie was excellent. On to game 2!

Oh yeah … in my preview I forgot to mention coaching. Travis Green is an idiot, and Carolina has a distinct advantage on the bench. If you wanted to sum up Game 1, that pretty much does it. Green listened to the Canadian press and thought he could just dial up the goonery and make Carolina wilt. Yeah, this ain’t that team anymore, hoss. Hasn’t been since about 2022, actually. But keep that stuff up if you want.

Ottawa completely re-worked their kill and Carolina wasn’t getting the same patterns to work that they had against the Sens before. They’ll adjust.

It’s the playoffs man. It’s never easy

If Staal had been injured in that fight, I would've been in a murderous rage. Is this Kachuk's first playoffs or something? What a child.

 

[CanadaCanes]

What a fun game to be at! Tight playoff hockey and Freddy standing on his head!!!

 

[NoMich]

The last few minutes were too intense!!!!

We’ve sold out the last X number of games, but playoff hockey is louder by a factor of a Google than regular season hockey.
