All about Igor.

If they can get past him, they can wrap this up quick.

I am not accustomed to seeing Bingo's comments in Ben's write-ups. I usually see him in the opposing team blogs. Probably because there are not but a couple of Canes fans left in hockeybuzz since Matt Karash left.

Slavin was deservedly nominated for Lady Bing again. My guess it will go to Connor this year.

- BINGO!

The Pens, who've been accused of being a perimeter team a lot, actually did a great job going to the net and creating chaos around Igor, and as a result scored a lot on him. If the Canes go straight to the net this one could be over quick.

I'm always around. But you're right I don't comment much in here.

If I'm being honest i general find it more beneficial to talk to fans of other teams and learn their perspectives on the Canes than to read those of fellow Canes fans.

This whole site has taken a hit the past few years. Used to be so many more people posting for all the teams and the main page stories. Now there's a handful of teams that don't even have a blog.

I read the other teams blogs for the same reason but don't often comment unless I can contribute without triggering the troll response. I am too old and too busy to get into a pissing contest.

Good luck and let’s have fun! Come to our page we’re generally civil unless provoked or prodded lol

As a ranger fan, I’m fairly content even with a loss this rd even. That was a big moment for the org the other night and we’ve pretty much already had a successful season all things considered. Rather than stress this series I’m going to enjoy the ride.

We also have a few former of our favorites over there which will help if we lose. Step and Fast were always two of my favorites back in the day. Skjei was annoying as (frank) and Tony is just a dyck. Smith we actually miss because we have Nemeth/Braun combo now haha.

Anyway can’t wait for the chaos to begin!

Rangers are a joke. Had to go 7 with a depleted Penguins team. Canes in 5.

Good blog Ben. Really can't argue any of it. Better coaching, much more experienced team, way better bottom six and better defense. If Igor can play like he did during the regular season, and Zib gets going, same for Panarin should be a good series. Definitely believe the Canes are the favorite.

Tell me about it. Step it up!

Comes down to this guy...

Nice!

The old rope a dope eh boys?!

The ice tilted in the 3rd period. Continue the effort in OT.

Good job weathering the storm.

I think they slept through it lol

Lovin life right now. Yes!!!!

Through the heart! I love it. Rags played their best defensive game all postseason and still lose. Win the next three and send these dirty monkeypox degens back to hell.

People really hate the rangers. I’m convinced they enjoy when they lose more than their own team winning
