Poor ROR. Hopefully he doesn't lose his love for the game because of this. 

Nah I bet Eichel made him do that 😛

Just another woman or women playing the whole “look at me” maneuver. How original. Yawn.

No, only happens in Buffalo....where we never make the playoffs. I'm sure he's much happier playing in St. Louis

 The hurricanes are incapable of winning on the road.

Instead of a couple thousand Canes fans at their arena now, ESPN has a camera at the Carolina Ale House where a dozen or so fans are reacting.

Two states, one name and one ale house, apparently.

They’re the only ones left not at the raceway for the Coca-Cola 600.

It looked like a kick to me. He should have just let it go. It looked like it was going in anyway.

That was the point:  He wasn't playing the puck, he was off balance after his first leg hung on the goalie.  He was trying stop with pulling a groin.  The "kick" maneuver he did had nothing to do with the puck.

The Hurricanes are incapable of losing at home.  That bodes well for them at least through the conference finals.

I think a rested Tampa is going to crush either team.

I think so too, but NY shows us once again how far a team can go if they have good goaltending. (Are ya listening KA?)

He knows, its why he got Levi,   but blaming bad goal tending on KA, when our current goalie should have been drafted 5 years ago 🤷‍♂️

Also in a league where at least 10 teams need a 1A, I would not even expect us being able to trade for one.

I don’t buy that at all.

Watch it again and watch his other leg.

I know and I agree. Goalie is so important and has been neglected here. Why I stick to my philosophy of drafting a goalie somewhere every year (or at least as often as possible). Can't have too many imo and every now and again a low pick will develop and surprise. Possibly Levi.

I still see a kick.

Definitely a kick.  The problem is the referees/League hardly ever over turn a goal.  I’d disqualify half of the goals directed in with a skate.  But we get so tied up with language like distinct kicking motion.  Get rid of all goals that go off an offensive player and we won’t have to argue about this anymore.

If it was his right leg that kicked it, I could believe he was just trying to stop, and it would have counted, but it was his left.

It was a kick and the exact reason the rule exists.

I gotta go with the Rags tonight. I'll take Shesterkin over Raanta all day.

Best 3 goalies in the league

1. Vasilevsky

2. Shesterkin

3. Anyone not on the Sabres.

[Zamboni]

Yea at this point …. F the Candy Canes!

 

Go Rags Go!

[Claude Balls]

Lot of Rags fans down in Raleigh.

I wish all three east teams could lose tonight.
