Game 3: Hurricanes 3, Bruins 2 (OT)

I am very grateful to you for the information.

Needs to have his Contacts with the NHL officiating squad come and watch some of the " fishy" officiating that wasn't...but i do have to admit both He & Forslund had it right when they said at least they are allowing the " boys to play" ...now grant you some of the obvious fouls should have been called on both sides...but the ones that " normally" would have been called but ignored, as in too close to call...well Tripp & John did have a point.
Go Canes !!

was all over the place again last night and my wife and were loving it. When Chara had the puck and LaRose skated behind him and stole it away from him...well, all we could think of was David and Golieth. Rosey rocks and so does the RBC Center.

And folks, again, please quit already with the old and tiring NHL doesn't want the Canes to win, especially after they win. It just helps fuel the notion that we are a bunch of hicks that know nothing about the sport. Especially after we dominate a game like we did last night.

GO CANES!!!!!!

Do you actually watch the game Javier? Staal's goal was on a wrist shot, not a backhander as you described it. There is a huge difference, I would be more than happy to do your job if you don't understand hockey any better. Recently you called Whitney's goal in Game 6 (against NJ) as a shot off of a tape to tape pass from Staal. In actuality he knocked the puck out of the air. It's really not that difficult to understand the difference.

Canes looked great tonight. Ward was the difference in the opening minutes of the overtime. Abramsdoug I couldn't agree with you more. The officiating is horrific. Wallin was guilty of boarding, but at the least they could be consistent. I can specifically remember Chara practically bodyslamming Ruutu from behind and then sitting on him. Or Ward crosschecking Ruutu after the play (when Ruutu earned the tripping penalty). Apparently, it has come down from the top that the B's are to be given the benefit of the doubt. As Chara and Ward (along with other of the B's) are allowed to get away with whatever they want.

Speaking of Chara does anyone know if Staal got his wallet back yet?? I'm thinking Chara took that and possibly committed a sex crime on Staal back in game 2 in the corner.

In the past two games, excluding the third period of game 2, the 'Canes have dominated the play. They are showing that Boston is beatable.

Not much else to say. I love our forecheck right now. They have learned how to play against Chara: dump the puck into his corner, make him play it, and send in Cole to get physical.

The worst thing about this game? The officiating. There was missed calls both way, I know. But they were just too inconsistent. Chara gets away with multiple infractions behind the play. Bayda almost smashes his head open on the open bench door, and only two minutes? I think that is a situation deserving four. That could have been really bad. And then Wallin gets called for boarding. Yes, it was boarding. But Chara had been doing that too. Away from the play.

Anyway, we won. Crowd was amazing again. I would hate to be one of the Boston fans walking out of our arena today.

Oh, and shark jumper fellow, how is your team's superior system doing now? Boston fans seem to be a bit too overconfident.

N&O,
Love the celebration picture with Jokinen and Samsanov and the Bruins fan in the background, you made my day.

Keep the B's to 2 goals or less and put at least 35 shots on Thomas and I like our chances is what my keys were to this game. Simplify the game, everything else falls into place. We'll see a very desperate B's team on Friday, we need to get on them early and often. First 10 minutes will be very important, they feel they're the better team, their record suggests so, we need to prove otherwise.

THE "JUICE" IS LOOSE!!!! WAY TO GO CANES!!!! WASH, RINSE, REPEAT ON FRIDAY!!!! WOOOO! WO-WO-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

but not too shabby. Canes came out with good energy. Now is when they need to utilize their patience and experience. Still trying to make that pass that isn't their outta the d zone. Keep the pressure on and play to the whistle.

Also, I think we are very lucky to have such classy announcers in Forslund and Tracey, Tracy, or well. Tripp. Not only do they know the game of hockey, but they are very balanced and unbiased in the commentary. It really gives you both sides of the story and helps you really understand the dynamic between our Canes and the opponenent. The don't just "homer" it up.

The RBC is rocking pretty good, but I think they could kick it up a level. Next goal is huge...

Too bad the game isn't on Versus. At least they know how to white-balance the cameras. FSCAR is a joke
