Ben Shelley: Notes from Game 2 vs. Rangers

They need to go for the throat tomorrow and finish the job. No quarter given. Complete the sweep, rest up, watch other teams beat each other up, get Hamilton back.

Congratulations...
the rangers are god awful!!!

I can’t rule Carolina out to make a serious run. They’ve been a dark horse for me. Obviously more solidity in net would be ideal, but everything else is just about in place for these guys.

Finally a Canes game at a time I can watch today.

The Canes were a dark horse last year, this year they are a true contender and one of the favourites imho.

I hope so. Next round match up will be difficult.

We either get the Washington's Goon Squad of "legal" hits, constant slashing and Tom Wilson, Philly who has a lot of depth and skill too, Tampa's gauntlet, or the top point getter Boston.

Then we have to keep weeding through that. The east is tough.

Right now, Im only worried about game 3. Until the final buzzer on the game that cliches the qualifying round for the Canes, I will still be nervous of the outcome. Knowing Rangers will goon it up once they are down late in the deciding game makes me worry someone will get hurt. Trouba is already head hunting.

WTF??? This team has zero history of playing that way.
Anything Trouba has attempted has only been trying to get his team to wake the (frank) up.
I have always liked Carolina and wouldn't mind seeing them beat our young team and go on a deep run, but this series is embarrassing so far.

Hoping for a difference. It seems the Rangers players don't wake up until mid-afternoon!!
