I understand the marketing team’s job is simply to get their own fanbase excited, but the Canes’ somehow finds a way to always overdo it and get egg on their face
The ‘09 and ‘19 sweeps were surprise runs and we were clearly overmatched by the Pens and Bruins. This year felt very different, and way worse. An impressive stat none the less.
Ehhhhhh I wouldn’t go that far as to say easily. I think there’s a big thing to be said for finishers here. While Bob was incredible, Anderson also had a lot of great saves too and then it comes down to really just who can finish. It’s not one that feels like a sweep but I wouldn’t say “could easily be a sweep the other way” either. Panthers defense in game 3 in particular made things really hard even in the absence of offense the other way. panthers earned the series. Maybe not a sweep but I don’t think the canes lack of scoring was luck or an accident either. They could have made it more difficult on an opposing goalie. Even the incredible save in game 2 was probably out too far back towards Bob to give him a chance.
The Wild's one conference finals appearance clocks in at number 1 going against Giguere. Sounds about right for this franchise.
First relaxing sports day for me in what feels like a month. Tomorrow needs to happen soon. Want to know if it’s Vegas or Dallas so badly
Definitely uneasy. Vegas has played like ass the last 2 games. Dallas headed home with all the momentum.
