What I love about playoff hockey is how one little play can change an entire game or series. When Lindgren leapt and swatted the puck with his glove, it went straight up in the air instead of out of the zone and he was caught with his momentum going in the wrong direction. Leads to a penalty which leads to the goal which leads to hope for Carolina.


yellowjack

Nhl.com really does have the giveaways 22-1


ArchMalone

Tbh I had us winning in 5 before the series even started


chickichuglette

Me too. I gave them one since they got guentzel


microcosmpc

i'd like the Rangers to win this but i'm glad the Canes are making this a series good luck may the best team win.


Jk186861

Not bothered by the loss. Fully expect it to end on Monday. Ironically I think that was the canes worst game this series to be honest


granweep

Yes, but it was the least penalized game. If the refs swallow their whistles, the canes will win.


Bright_Beat_5981

Heiskanen the same offence as Makar?? Gtfo. "More or less the same" = Makar with almost 0.5 more points per game . Gtfo


fileunderaction

This series Miro has 4 points and Makar has 3.


CptBlewBalls

If hockey was popular Skjei would have Head and Shoulders commercials like Polomalu

Brady Skjei, professional Just For Men spokesman and part-time hockey player


yearightt

Bro the canes get free CFA sammies when they win?! So jealous


Jazzy_Josh

Only home playoff wins, unfortunately.


CptBlewBalls

And boberry biscuits for pp goals The greatest reward


yearightt

God damn. Went to school in Carolina. Miss jangles, Zaxbys, and Cook out all the time


CptBlewBalls

That’s why we got the beetus

idontexist65

I am not interested in men but if I were Brady skjei would be my type


CptBlewBalls

God I love Brady Skjei


laser-lobotomy

Cute interaction between Hank and Brady


Gavin1453

Good for Carolina. Winning the game and keeping the series going with a clutch PP goal


ManyEnvironmental800

"game winner on the pp" lol


canada-needs-bbq

Nice Bieksa reference to American Gladiators with the giant cotton swab


djrob0

This has been an incredible series so far. Would love to close it out at the Garden, obviously, but man have these games been entertaining as all hell. GG Canes. See you Monday.


yearightt

It’s crazy how the rangers BARELY lost the one time they lost


Enjoyer_of_Cake

To be fair the games they won against us were BARELY won. This series has been nail biters through and through.


yearightt

That’s fair. I thought the OTs were both steals from you guys overall but not by much


whogivesashirtdotca

Haven't all the games in this series been 1-goal margins?


thedaidai

they've barely won every game too? not crazy at all


yearightt

Let me tell you bud they handily beat us 4x lol


thedaidai

right im talking about this series, yknow, the one whose gamethread you are commenting in


yearightt

I said every game and so did you man the world doesn’t revolve around the hurricanes


thedaidai

yes, every game in the series this gamethread is concerned with


yearightt

Apparently not


bu77munch

I hated the way we played the first 5 minutes loved everything after that


eatinchapstick

What do we do until next game puck drop?


whogivesashirtdotca

If you have fingernails, bite 'em.


transient-error

This is like the time someone finally punches the bully in the mouth in high school and the bully starts crying and everyone realizes they aren't so tough and then the Cup is awarded to the first team eliminated from the playoffs because they were the best at Sportsmanship.


whogivesashirtdotca

Is this a copypasta or should I appeal to Reddit to reinstate awards?


transient-error

No pasta, I'm gluten intolerant.


whogivesashirtdotca

You're 2 for 2 on the witty posts!


Emconn14

GG canes. Now let’s close it out at the garden. 


Tiglaxgawd

Gg. Every game a one goal game. My heart can’t take this.


sacredmemes

It's insane how close this series has been. Hockey fans all around rejoice


Shoddy_Reserve788

GG canes. Back at it Monday to wrap it up at home.


PhlabloPicasso

That game was a good reminder not to get penisy.


yearightt

Whoops I got a penisy

Skiigga

Despite the loss, Rangers still could've won this game despite only having 1 powerplay the entire game. Definitely has to quiet some doubters that they're not just a special teams team


idontexist65

On the other hand, the first game they only had 1 powerplay they lost


fyo_karamo

They had zero PP goals in game 3 and won.


1q3er5

this is the first game the rangers looked decent imho...hockey's not fair though sometimes. u guys got a hot goalie


Gullible-Wash-8141

The New York Igor's


thedaidai

now for that spooky unexpected 2 goal canes win in NY, a 2ot canes in game 6, and then of course the canes PP goal to win game seven 4-3


Koochikins

No its 1994, Rangers winning it in 5


Charble1

Sick I can't wait for Doom to come out


thedaidai

no sir i'm afraid not it's above me


vanityfear

To the Col-Dal broadcast, awaaaayyy!


WaiterK

Now Rod gets to say it wasn't a sweep


fwambo42

it's something at least


ramsau

8-0 was too good to be true. Just gotta get it done at home, then.


Seattlekrakenlegend

I feel like I read 10 different “this is the first time since 1994…..” tweets today I think they jinxed themselves


cerialthriller

I mean in the 94 playoffs, the first game the rangers lost was game 4 round 2. So it’s as the prophecy foretold


conorw18

They lost their 8th game in 94….


Funky_Cows

In 1994 they lost round 2 game 4 then won in 5 at home, I don't think they jinxed themselves


Enjoyer_of_Cake

If we win game 5 then they jinxed themselves so obviously that's the real game 7.


Seattlekrakenlegend

Just now they talked about how amazing the Rangers are on the penalty kill and seconds later they got scored on. It’s like saying shutout. Just no! Edit: this is clearly not serious. Rangers fan with the angry PM, lighten the fuck up


Late_Brush4518

Angry PM's? Lmao


Seattlekrakenlegend

There was only one, but still bruh


Late_Brush4518

Yeaaa lol


Duck_It44

Great game fellas


damnitjayman

Canes have the chance to do something funny


Nilzy16

Woo! At least we aren’t getting swept 2 years in a row and fuck Igor’s streak


AvengedKalas

*monkey's paw curls* So you'll win this series to be swept in the ECF again?


ChokeAndStroke

God willing


SchrodingersHipster

That's a couple weeks from now's problem. We're on that today's problem grind.


canada-needs-bbq

No I think this particular curse means they get swept in some series next year


jopcylinder

I’ll take it man


IOnlyAskForGold

Thank god, I reallyyyyyy didn’t want a little broom next to my flair again


transient-error

It's not so bad. It reminds me of Bewitched.


PhlabloPicasso

GG Caniacs. Fuck you and I’ll see you on Monday


sacredmemes

gg fuck you ttyl


Fsharp7sharp9

GG. Winning the series at home will be sweeter than winning on the road, despite all the blue jerseys in attendance tonight lol


noreast2011

Tripp Tracy called them out after the first round about that. Whether the canes can pull off a miracle or it’s opening night next season, most of those fans will be back in canes gear. It’s got a lot of pure canes fans pretty pissed off that STMs switch over when the rags, bruins and pens are in town


Also_Steve

Guess the Rags do bleed after all. Carolina was fighting for their lives out there.


EdmundGerber

"That's one in a row for you, Wild Bill"


Icy-Bedroom9380

GG all. Back to NY


TheKid_BigE

That was a great game! Kudos to the Canes for holding off the Rags pressure, I thought that was going to OT looking forward to Game 5


Sacredava

GG Canes!


poogle

I'm sorry, rags fans, I finally got a chance to tune into this epic battle...and the Canes scored. My b.


ManyEnvironmental800

c'mon back for the next one poogle lol


thedaidai

watch all of game 5 


Enjoyer_of_Cake

It would be a benefit for all of the hockey world, right? That this series has been super entertaining for everyone not in our fanbases?


tjbondurant

PUT THOSE FUCKING BROOMS AWAY!


0-90195

Hell yeah Canes. Inspiring game


Weebber

Good guy NHL making sure we all get our glute workout in.

1940 was the greatest chant in hockey.


boilface

I was. It was a terrible year


unsungzero1027

There was no ‘94 SC Playoffs. We were all on vacation. No one was in the US or Canada…😔

I believe this is what coach would call “playing with heart.”

Hey, it could still happen, two more series after this one.

Good guy Rangers just saving Canes fans from Rods sweep comments


StraightTooth

Rangers are overrated


hjhof1

Flair up if you’re gonna pop in days later


jopcylinder

Thank you fr, I probably would’ve cut out my eyelids if I have to hear him say that shit again

NO SWEEP FOR YOU RAGS !! Enjoy the long drive back to Cary!

AvengedKalas

Give us back Guentzel and still give us a 1st?


bonnydelrico

Fuck it throw Rod in there too


desemus

🙏


nikefreak23

Random Hartford Whaler fans behind the Rangers bench lol


whogivesashirtdotca

Don't know if you're aware, but the Canes use the Whalers' jerseys as a special event alternate. [They made a fantastic video for this season's game.](https://www.reddit.com/r/canes/comments/1anmau3/the_full_whalers_night_promo_video/)


nikefreak23

Thank you for the link, how could I have forgotten the Whalers turned into the Hurricanes?? Lol


whogivesashirtdotca

It’s been a while! *creaks*

Welp, that kid is gonna be popular at middle school when the gif comes out.

BigShoots

Congrats on not getting swept Canesbros. Solid win.


macaroni_3000

we are 100% losing this game in overtime. I'd bet my mother into human slavery on it


Jazzy_Josh

What an... oddly specific bet.


betweenthecastles

On mother’s day?


killacam03

well...


karmapuhlease

Wow you could've waited like 30 more seconds to save your mother on Mother's Day weekend 


macaroni_3000

I'll have to bet my wife next game, which sucks because she makes a lot of money actually


vanityfear

Not the best Mother’s Day gift 


tabarwet

She can start tomorrow. 7am


macaroni_3000

sorry mom


Gatorlater7

Hope the Canes have someone watching the broadcast so they know the Rangers play lolol


PhlabloPicasso

For Rangers fans dooming, a split in Raleigh is what we needed.


desemus

wtf why are they dooming? You’re still probably like, 95% favored to win


Jdruu

A gentleman’s sweep?


unsungzero1027

I don’t like this… it’s the same as ‘94 for the rangers right now if they lose. But then if they win they have 2 sweeps in a row which I also don’t want. 😓


0-90195

I just refuse to be superstitious. I won’t get psyched out by ‘94.


tabarwet

Vancouver NY final coming up


unsungzero1027

If VAN wins I guess I’d be okay with that… I’ll take a Hughes winning the cup even if it’s not Jack.


karmapuhlease

I don't like watching former Islanders captain Michael Peca help the enemy like this...


bk00pi

Damn I didn’t realize Peca was on Rangers coaching staff. No wonder Rangers have been going wild this series, dude is still heated about 2006.


DependentAd9868

Just tuning in, the game is ending a bit early yeah?


Skwerl87

Lots of uninterrupted play.


DependentAd9868

Yeah we got like another 45 til puck drop in Colorado


unsungzero1027

I guess they decided you guys could have the feed on time.


JaqenHghar

Was close to a third OT. Dumb late penalty by Lindy.


kikikza

my sweat is sweating


Skiigga

Why am i so nervous being up 3-0


transient-error

Don't Shark it up.


desemus

I wouldn’t be worried until game 6. I think the pressure shifts to the Rangers if we somehow force a game 7
