Canes lost game 3 with Sorokin in net last year. Hopefully, they can avoid a repeat.
I'm pretty sure the Canes have never won a Game 3 while up 2-0 with RBA as coach.

True but he also started the first 2 games and had been playing incredibly well all season -- 3rd in the league with 38.8 GSAE. This year he's 43rd with 1.4 GSAE. Of course just like Bobrovsky last year he's a goalie fully capable of playing at an outrageously elite level and stealing games left and right. But seems less likely to reach that level tonight/this year than last year.Canes lost game 3 with Sorokin in net last year. Hopefully, they can avoid a repeat.
not on the road, no, but we swept the isles 5 years ago.I'm pretty sure the Canes have never won a Game 3 while up 2-0 with RBA as coach.

On the road. We won games 3 in the Covid playin against the Rags and game 3 in when we swept the IslesI'm pretty sure the Canes have never won a Game 3 while up 2-0 with RBA as coach.

So they did win Game 3 on the road then.
Well, all I'm trying to point out is Sorokin's numbers are better in the playoffs vs Canes, and we have last years game 3 results to at least suggest we don't kick our cats if the Canes struggle tonight.

Well, they struggled the first two games. Dunno why today would be any different
They as in the Isles or Canes?
Yes.
That’s my thought if they go Freddie tonight and they win I imagine Freddy goes again. kooch would then be outta game action for a whilePyotr seems to need work to get his best.....I'm Ok with him playing tonight and then going back to Freddie for game 4.

I'm not expecting an easy win or any win for that matter. I think we've got a good shot but fully expect the Isles to give us their all. Just saying that last year doesn't really have much bearing on this year. Different Canes team, different Isles team and different Sorokin (from what we've seen so far).So they did win Game 3 on the road then.

I'm torn, on the one hand it's easy to get under Kooch's skin...on the other, Kooch plays some of his best hockey when he's a bit pissed off (i.e. pokecheck on Tkachuk PS). Kooch would NOT have put up with that 2-3 glove poke goal the other night. I fully expect the Isles to come out in desperation goon mode tonight...they're at home (as if they didn't get away with enough from favorable officiating already), down 2-0, and the only way they can really compete with a team is to clutch, grab, wrap-up, and knock-down their opponents so they can't establish anything. Kooch is a good guy to have on your side, but I could also see him blowing a gasket and being taken off his game...but it would be good to let Freddie get some rest and save it for the tougher matchups coming up (this is of course assuming we win this round)I'd prefer they keep a goalie rotation up.
Zero need to put excess wear on Freddy in the 1st round as this shouldn't be a series where his slightly better SV% should matter. I'd rather have 2 goalies fresh and ready for every game because it's a very long road to the SCF. Freddy has been so good because he's been rested and not worn down IMO. Last thing they need to have him get injured and then rely on Koch.
Canes will need Freddy fresh and rested against NYR, BOS, etc.

They're due for an easy win.
I'd prefer they hit them with the car at high speed, then reverse over their lifeless corpses.
Figuratively speaking of course.
Speaking of cars,
What is it about opposing players and being compared to Ferraris against us?

We traded in the Prius. I think the Rangers bought it off the used lot.I'll take our Priusi (plural of Pius) that just work
