Big Blue Huddle

The third period came, the Canes showed up to play, a bunch of individuals dressed as Rangers took the ice but certainly didn't look like hockey players.

What a departure from what we've seen in the playoffs thus far.

The Canes are back in this thing. Back to Raleigh everyone goes for Wednesday. Well, to their credit, at least they are trying to shrug the paper part of the champion moniker they've been bestowed.

Peace.

Bet you they start us off against the Eagles this time.

PFF might actually be right about something in this case.

It's just shocking that they came out and played like this with a chance to close it out at home. 

Hopefully Camp this year is boot camp

Yup. Those were 2-0 and this was 3-0 but you're right, it's the exact same pattern. Start the series off well, and then fold like an accordion.

I feel like if we're going to win this series it needs to be the next game. I don't see us winning game 7 if we go into that game having lost three in a row. Carolina will have a stranglehold on us mentally if that happens, and our vets are not clutch, winning players. It needs to happen in the next game or I don't see it happening.

I'm telling you right now: if the Rangers lose this series after being up 3-0 it will be an embarrassment of beyond epic proportions, the stench of which will carry over into future seasons. They will be the laughingstock of the rest of the league if they do that.

Complete disgrace. I am beyond disappointed with the veteran leaders of this team. Panarin was his usual playoff self: nowhere. Zibanejad nothing. Kreider nothing. Just a dog-sht performance in the absolute biggest of spots.

Color me shocked that the first response in a thread about the OL and their expected performance is a dig at DJ.

Like Swiss clockwork.

Just brutal.
