Canes are playing hard, special teams and goaltending have been the difference.

Shesterkin is playing great. Andersen has been average at best. And the special teams have been awful. Let Brindamour go if they lose this series. Can't keep doing the same thing with no changes.

Why isn't Rod tearing Deahole a new one?!? Even Svechnikovs discipline?

Yea how could orlov not anticipate a funny bounce of the puck. Loser

It was Kochetkov tonight and he played well.
NYR special teams are extra special and our effort is relentless.
Certainly not Rods fault. Lack of fire power, depth and a couple of undisciplined players.

My mistake was watching the game on mute. Point being, Shesterkin steals goals that CAR never gets a save on. And special teams has been atrocious for CAR. I'd buy Rod the Bod a Burger King crown and write "Regular Season Bench Press Champ" on it and tell him to get lost. It's stale at this point.

Yikes, Rod is not the problem. NYR shots are from 20ft avg & CAR 30ft out. It's almost impossible to get to the inside on us, all year long, steadily. NYR are usually winning and tend to retract and let teams play on the outside. Will certainly be a tough out for any team!

It's pretty crazy he has a stacked team and can't get them over the hump yet. I mean rod knows what it takes to win.

Look at avs. 3 consecutive 2nd rd exited before finally winning. I think rod should get one more shot. But I think thus offseason there gonna retool the roster.

That is always how they play. Tons of shot volume especially from the point. Low skill high effort grind. Like how Brindamour played the game. Win every puck battle and lose every skill game.

Rod is the problem. 0/15 on the PP with no adjustments.

Plus shesterkin is the reason rangers are winning. Literally getting peppered.

In the playoff you need to shoot from everywhere. All it takes is a bounce just like how panarin deflected it in.

What precisely has Brindamour won as a coach?

As a coach he has won nothing but as a player he has. You would think he would implement that into his players.

Being a winning player has absolutely nothing to do with being a good coach. Entirely different skill sets.

You must be new to hockey. Most these coaches are former professional players.

Good point. Say who was the last coach to win a SC that was also a winner as a player?

Good question I'll do some research

Canes can't get on the inside, cause that's what NYR do. Frustration setting in, which is on the leaders of the team, even more than the coach. We get outshot often, this is no fluke, you have to play our game!!

That's exactly my point. No adjustments by rod at all

He can try all he wants. Not enough firepower to break into NYR high danger slot area, we've stymied teams all year by letting shoot from outside. Best chance to beat Igor is to deflect point shots. All we need is one good rush to score. Deahole should be told by the room to shut up, Svech is a horse, unfortunately Still an untameable. Burns looks slow. Lack of depth...
