  • I would be shocked if the Canes lose to the Isles. Carolina is just better in essentially every way and the Isles are seriously lacking in their bottom six. Writing off Carolina way too much here, this is the best they've been in the last 15 years

    • I don't get it either. Maybe there's still some bitterness from the way the Leafs got steamrolled by the Canes this year. It's gonna look real awkward if the Isles get smoked in 5 like I think they will.

    • No way anyone should write off the 'Canes. As a Ranger fan both teams concern me, as for that matter does every team in the playoffs. Home advantage in a playoff championship series is a myth. Though I'm rooting for the Rangers, frankly any one of 5-6 teams could win the Cup. It's called "parity."

  • Hey Steve, Oilers tied at 8th lowest GA 5on 5 with Nashville. Leafs 17th. Rangers 16th. VGK 14th Dallas 12th Allowed 10 more than the kings. Oilers allowed like 50 goals in the 1st 13 games or something ridiculous and 5 more their last game playing just the 3/4th and AHL call ups oh and their top pairing sitting too. Actually have bee one of the best defensive teams after the coaching change. Mattias Eckholm 3rd best +/- in the league at 44. Bouchard 5th at 34. Morgan Reilly +7 liljegren +4 If Oilers Defense is HORRRRRRRIBLE what is the leafs defense? Lol Edmonton is the 8th most penalized team in the league. Toronto 10th least. Yet somehow considering how often they're on the penalty kill. They're almost 4% better than the leafs. Better than the VGK Better than the Jets. 0.4% worse than Colorado. This old tripe about Oilers defense needs a rest. Its no longer close to factual.

Tyler Myer 6'8", Zadorov 6'6", Soucy 6'5", Juulson 6'2", Cole 6'1" and Hronek 6'0" even. Quinn Hughes is only 5'10" and they'll be targeting him, but the rest of the blueline are pretty big and tough. When Buffalo got a bit too into head hunting Hughes one game, Zadorov went on a pairing with him for a few shifts to let them know this wasn't going to happen anymore. I expect this to happen a few times in the playoffs, but the rest of the blueline aren't players other teams are going to want to mix it up with.

It's the NHL so anything can happen and I don't believe there are any real "favorites" in any of the playoff series, frankly. But I do believe the canucks match up very well against the preds and have shown, when they are disciplined and stick to their structure, that they can probably beat the preds on most nights.

    • yeah it's obvious he's never watched a single one of the canuck oiler games this season. Literally NONE of the games looked in doubt for the canucks. Even the last one with the "new" oilers, the canucks basically dominated them. Controlled the entire game. The Oil still struggle with teams that are playing really disciplined structure. Of course any team can beat any team in the NHL these days.....but I'd be a little surprised if the Oil would be able to take out the canucks if the canucks keep playing with the same discipline they've demonstrated for the majority of the year.

    • And they have a decently easy path to the cup. They should smoke the Preds, and then could see them taking out the Oilers or Kings pretty handily, Demko gives them a huge edge. And whoever they face in the conference final are going to be beaten and bloody. Stars and Knights will smoke each other, Jets and Avs will pummel each other too. And the winners will smoke each other 😅 Whoever comes out of the east will be put through a meat grinder too. Canes and Rangers will have a war in round 2, and the winner will have a war with the Panthers.

  • The big question every year is who is going to be the team and/or teams that choke, plus who is going to be the team that surprises everyone with a deep run? That (for me at least) is always the most fun thing to look for in the playoffs each year because no matter what the numbers, rosters, etc... may say, there is always some X factor that pops up and leads to unexpected results.

However, Hockey is of course a sport of skill… But more importantly intensity. Intensity in other team sports can be detrimental. In Hockey, the better team often lacks the equaled intensity that the underdog must bring… It’s a unique team sport. Similar to boxing 🥊.

  • Here is my take as a canes fan: The Canes play a style that requires high effort and near perfect execution. They shoot 1000 shots on net with less regard for the quality of chances. They play this high effort, statistically favored style all season long and I think it is a bit taxing on the players. Other teams rely on top end talent and goals in transition to win games. I would argue that the transition scoring style requires less effort and grit overall. None of this truly matters until you get to the playoffs, where every team cranks up the effort to 11. The Canes need to play their game and get on a hot streak to make another deep run, but the games will be closer than the final standings suggest. Luckily I do think the Canes have a better offense and a deeper squad than other Canes teams over the last 5 years. Here's to a deep run! Raleigh raise up!
