2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread: Carolina's tries revolutionary new strategy: Never lose games

[practice]

McDavid no points through 2 goal-filled games

I would enjoy the SNES not going down 3-0 again this year. Not asking the moon here.

Just saw a news update that Josh Norris is hurt and out for tonight’s game, shocking and unprecedented development

[sutterfamily]

please.... no more powerplays

[Alexei Ca$hin]

What in the actual fuck were the SNES trying to do on that 5 on 3?

[sutterfamily]

Worst 5-on-3 in NHL playoffs history

[Alexei Ca$hin]

What percentage of faceoffs does the Sportsnet broadcast miss due to showing a replay, the crowd or a stupid graphic?

60% at least?

[sutterfamily]

I think we are both morons, btw. Ottawa is not keeping up with Carolina here who are playing top-notch playoff hockey.

[sutterfamily]

Like, the only SNES player who was stepped it up is Ullmark, everyone else is missing the mark.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

I thought they played well games 1 and 2. Tonight not at all.

[sutterfamily]

They played meh in game 1, good in game 2. Oh well, Sanderson's out again... not meant to be maybe. But I wanted a good series, you know?

[sutterfamily]

Sorry, I mean they played fine in game 1 but didn't match Carolina, you know?

[sutterfamily]

woof, lame

[Cacophony]

Well CL fandom once again enjoying success so far.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Everywhere we look it’s a darkness

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Worst 5-on-3 in NHL playoffs history

[Alexei Ca$hin]

This play where Tkachuk makes a pass straight into the linesman's feet with no other Senator around?

[sutterfamily]

I'm not watching that again.

[sutterfamily]

The SN crew (again, awful) said it was Sanderson's hand but sounds like it was in fact the Taylor Hall head shot that hurt him? Fuck that guy, looking forward to the Canes losing in the conference finals again.

[Cacophony]

Can’t win if you can’t out score the Stanked Oven
