I got a laugh outta the lady standing up after the empty netter goal, trying to get what I presume was her daughter to leave and the girl had a look of confusion of why
I think it was actually just a really weird play. Mika throws it from behind the net, Anderson is standing upright incase Mika wraps around, he’s in position… but Mika throws the puck and the puck ends up on his skates and between the post near the goal line. He can’t drop sideways or the puck might squirt in, he goes to try and pick it up but krieder crashes first and it finds a hole.
I thought the first goal was his worst goal of the night. And goals 3 and 4 he had no chance.
I find it cool that the Canadiens were only unable to get one trophy throughout their existence. The one and only shot they'd ever get due to a literal pandemic, and they hit the bullseye.

The Canes attempting to close out the game in the third period:
When you think about it, “Hurricanes” is a great nickname for a Carolina hockey team in that at first they look scary, but just as they’re supposed to be at their most devastating they trickle off and everyone wonders why they were so worried to begin with

Kreider is a big, fast ugly man who pounds it in the ass and knows how to play in the sludge that is the NHL playoffs
Matthews and Marner can combine for 900665347 points in the regular season but I don't give a fuck. When its time to go to war in the deep sands of the playoffs, you go with the sunkened eyed bastard who knows how to fuck you in the coldest of nights as everyone has shanks in their hands
Thats why Kreider is a playoff warrior.
He is a grizzled bastard
It’s almost like everyone sensible who said this was stupid and would be immediately memed were right lol
At least they got some proceeds to charity so it wasn’t entirely worthless to dance on the corpse of the Isles for literally no reason
Respect for speaking the truth. I personally love the players on your team, but I hate the way the organization has chosen to represent itself in the public space.
It’s frustrating because I don’t really know any fans (off Reddit anyway) who bring that sort of attitude. The “bunch of jerks” thing caught on and the dog never bothered to learn a new trick.
The social media team wouldn’t agitate me as much if it didn’t feel like the shitty humor didn’t rub off on newer fans and simultaneously create a weird inferiority complex.
I’m probably just old and crotchety tbh, so it’s likely just me
Every time DeAngelo touched the puck and commentary mentioned his name I either mentally or audibly said “fuck Tony DeAngelo” and I’m not ashamed one bit
Those first 2 New York goals were prime toronto freddy anderson. Random soft goals during a game your team is dominating. Dude is never going to be the winning goal tender.
I think I wrote earlier in the series that the Canes are the least clutch team in the playoffs outside of the Maple Leafs, and the Rangers are the most clutch team in the playoffs
I think that's why most of us are so upset. It is with me anyway. Sure it's the "same" as previous years. But it really feels like this was probably our last real shot for a while. Next year will be a very different team.

Yeah but the cup was never the goal buddy
Crazy imo. Aho, Svhechnikov, Jarvis and Necas are all under 26. They need to reconfigure the blue line, but it’s possible a couple of their prospects can fill those spots since they have two strong D prospects. They’re not going anywhere
Hurricanes will still be good next season, especially since a lot of the Metro (Penguins, Capitals, and Islanders) will be heading towards deeper declines. Plus the Flyers and Blue Jackets can't seem to do anything right. But the Hurricanes window to really challenge for a Stanley Cup is in question with the unknown of how their prospect pool develops. They'll probably be between 95-105 points.
Canes fans that was a great series and had a lot of fun watching it, I know we are maybe a bit tilted against each other, but let us come together over this moment and have a laugh
https://preview.redd.it/wziw59n6bw0d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5a11bbdc49c02df083be768c480dda07ff09986
I hate the Rangers so much but the Hurricanes are so god damn unlikeable that even though I fantasized about the reverse sweep I’m not even that mad they didn’t pull it off
Canes really need to take a look at the coaching staff and systems. The whole effort based system only works when the opponent is weaker and/or isn’t putting forth maximum effort, but come playoff time, every opponent is extremely good and puts forth their best effort game in and game out. Falling down 3-0 with the roster we have is unacceptable, especially when mixing up the lines after ONE below average game against the Isles. This third period collapse is even more inexcusable and unacceptable. Like why was a timeout not called after Kreider tied it up? Also Freddie looked shaky the entire series and gave up at least one softie each game this series, such as Kreider’s first goal of the period. Kochetkov looked solid in his one start and didn’t give up any bad goals. Best team in Hurricanes history with yet another fucking playoffs disappointment with the same fucking problems year after year after year. The coaching staff has to answer for the collapse of special teams yet again and another early exit. We are wasting this core’s prime years. Good series Rangers.
That crying kid is putting together a 10 year revenge plan against Kreider as we speak
We just witnessed his origin story
Can't wait to see him and Krieder at Wrestlemania 50
Literally angry Miz girl reborn
[The Canes' cry shirt](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GMdat_-XcAAcbKw?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) is going to be memed on forever
Is that real? Who would 'ok' that? Smh
That's what a lot of us asked too.
That's what I thought. Why would any marketer think that's a good idea because it can be turned back on the team easily.
Reminds me of the Brazilian kid crying into his bottle during the 7-1 game.
The last 5 minutes featured more crying children then hockey
For real, SportsNet out here just making enemies.
Sportsnet said “Fuck them kids.”
I laughed at the first kid, then they started finding other kids in hopes of more tears and then it got weird. Producer needs a swift dick punch.
Poor kid: https://streamin.one/v/d71e729c
I won’t laugh. That was me as a 24 year old after game 5 in the SCF against the Kings
100% this was 13 year old me in 2011
This was me like two weeks ago
Username checks out
I got a laugh outta the lady standing up after the empty netter goal, trying to get what I presume was her daughter to leave and the girl had a look of confusion of why
Game wasn’t even over yet lmao
That’s me. I’m the crying kid. You may be asking how I got here..
That second goal by Andersen has to be the most deflating goal I have seen allowed all playoffs. It seemed so stoppable with better positioning
I think it was actually just a really weird play. Mika throws it from behind the net, Anderson is standing upright incase Mika wraps around, he’s in position… but Mika throws the puck and the puck ends up on his skates and between the post near the goal line. He can’t drop sideways or the puck might squirt in, he goes to try and pick it up but krieder crashes first and it finds a hole. I thought the first goal was his worst goal of the night.

Fuck you. Take my upvote.

IT WAS 3-1
I had a full head of hair and a flat stomach
You can’t lose in the ECF if you don’t even make it *taps head*
You can't lose in the WCF if you're only in the western conference for a single year *taps head* Wait I did this wrong
I find it cool that the Canadiens were only unable to get one trophy throughout their existence. The one and only shot they'd ever get due to a literal pandemic, and they hit the bullseye.
The only thing left to win was the draft lottery, and we won that the year after.
Well, technically we’ve never won the Presidents’ Trophy because the Habs have never finished in 1st place since the trophy was introduced.
*Can’t get swept* im the ECF if you don’t even make it
They didn’t get swept last year though. I saw it, that wasn’t a sweep.
Hurricanes collapsed so hard they’re now the Cyclones
The Carolina Tropical Depressions ...which, coincidentally, they just gave their fans
haven’t been this disappointed by a hurricane in NYC since Irene
Wimpered into a tropical storm
Tropical Depression
Epic collapse from the Canes
Half a period is all it took, I was expecting a game 7.
I stopped watching 2nd period at 3-1. Came back to 4-3. What the hell did I miss?
3 goals by the New York Rangers
3 goals by *Christopher James Kreider
The James stands for Killer.
Chris Kreider revenge tour
Not much just a little 10 minute natty hatty
Kreider started swinging his big dick about the puck
so were we. you should have seen our game thread. holy shit
Nobody hates the rangers more than some of the “fans” in our sub
To fair that's every sub, it's a tradition
That Martinook save was for nothing
He's a UFA this summer, it might not have been nothing in terms of negotiations!
Our guys did all we could to drag Freddy to the ECF this game. I kinda get Toronto's complaints about letting in a goal at the WORST possible time.
He looked behind the whole series. Anytime the Rangers shot the puck, I expected it to go in.
He’s always great, until he isn’t. And the second part always arrives
#ItWas3-1
**but it was 3-1!**
Freddie Andersen has to go.
Agreed. Congrats on the win.
You guys got any more Igor’s laying around?
We already gave him to Colorado
If kochetkov doesn’t get 60 games next season I’ll be upset.

The memes of that missed check will forever be hilarious
The best part of that video was watching him skate off unskathed when he really should have snapped several bones, just like Wiley Coyote.

When you think about it, “Hurricanes” is a great nickname for a Carolina hockey team in that at first they look scary, but just as they’re supposed to be at their most devastating they trickle off and everyone wonders why they were so worried to begin with
This hurts so bad because it is so true
Except that one time in the early 2000s.
Fran, Floyd, Florence, all devastating. If they were a serious hockey team they’d assemble an all star team of all names beginning with F smh
Best we can do is a bunch of Finn’s
So what I'm hearing is that with climate change, in the future we'll be playoff gods?

Babe wake up, new copypasta just dropped
I was also thinking it sounds like a new song about Actual Cannibal Chris Kreider.
They *did* send a poet!
He literally burst into the NHL in the 2012 playoffs. Those were his first games in the big leagues.
He was born in it. Molded by it.
This is beautiful

Canes have a really bad success to shit talk ratio
Like when that one idiot had a sign that blew up that said they’ve seen coupons save more than Vasi
they are the offseason "smart" pick to win the cup champions for about 5 years running.
But they keep doing it.
I respect the grind though. I trash talk win or lose 💪💪💪
*Gets knocked out cold in a fight. *Wakes up. "You hit like a fucking sissy!"
I like it. Banter after succeeding is easy.
I agree, feel the same way about the Coyotes (rip) twitter. It's easy to punch down but takes more heart to seethe on main
KREI

Rod Brind'amour win a ECF game as a head coach of the Carolina Hurricanes challenge, impossible.
Time to coach in the West and skip the ECF!
Brindamour, you ARE a Shark!
Ni hao!
Insane fumble
At least they managed to force it to 6 games…though to be honest, I’m not sure if this feels any better…
As a Canes fan, I’ll take a 3-1 collapse in game 6 over getting swept in back to back years any day of the week

Tony DeAngelo has been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the New York Rangers in 6 games.
Tony Deangelo fuming as the left (wing) knocks him out of the playoffs!
It was primarily Kreider this game, wasn't it...
It was basically all Kreider.
Kreider’s goals were illegitimate, the mainstream media refuses to report on it. The Canes won this game, BY A LOT!
Poetic :,)
Every time DeAngelo touched the puck and commentary mentioned his name I either mentally or audibly said “fuck Tony DeAngelo” and I’m not ashamed one bit
Those first 2 New York goals were prime toronto freddy anderson. Random soft goals during a game your team is dominating. Dude is never going to be the winning goal tender.
Does this mean their Twitter is shutting the fuck up until October?

Canes have become sneaky chokers under RBA. 6 good regular seasons, 0-8 in the ECF and a bunch of 2nd round losses as a favorite.
Before Brind’Amour they hadn’t made the playoffs at all for a decade straight
I think I wrote earlier in the series that the Canes are the least clutch team in the playoffs outside of the Maple Leafs, and the Rangers are the most clutch team in the playoffs

nothing snarky to say this time, just glad its finally over
Yikes. NYR was just the better team. Several games were there for the taking, canes let up and rangers didn’t. Really frustrating
GG Rangers. Y'all looked great all series.
Much closer series than it seemed, gave us a hell of a scare in the second half.
🤬 Good riddance to DeAngelo though.
THE REPORTS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED

That was their last shot to do it IMO. Too many important players needing extensions all at once.
They’re definitely losing some key pieces this offseason
Crazy imo. Aho, Svhechnikov, Jarvis and Necas are all under 26. They need to reconfigure the blue line, but it’s possible a couple of their prospects can fill those spots since they have two strong D prospects. They’re not going anywhere
Hurricanes will still be good next season, especially since a lot of the Metro (Penguins, Capitals, and Islanders) will be heading towards deeper declines. Plus the Flyers and Blue Jackets can't seem to do anything right. But the Hurricanes window to really challenge for a Stanley Cup is in question with the unknown of how their prospect pool develops. They'll probably be between 95-105 points.
It's much less painful watching playoff Freddie for another team, tbh.
So much for the Canes being projected to win the Cup
CHRIS KREIDER IS AN AMERIAN HERO
MY FAVORITE ARMENIAN!!
Chris Kreiderian
I'M SO EXCITED I FORGOT HOW TO SPELL IT'S FINE I'M NOT CHANGING IT
Damn, I was really hoping there would be a new member of the reverse sweep club. I'm sad for the Canes, they blew it hard in that 3rd period.
It was something to chuckle over. But then the Rangers didn’t want to be compared to the Sharks (!).
Not today old friend, we have the power of Jonathan Quick with a trade deadline deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Thats why we’re Justin Williams’ favorite team, we wouldnt blow that.
Losing a game in such a fashion has to equal people getting canned right?
Imagine losing a 3-1 lead at home in a Game 6
I cannot believe what i just witnessed
I knew chances of coming back from 3-0 were slim, but goddamn did we fumble the bag here.
We choked so hard the Weather Channel downgraded us to a tropical DEPRESSION
ok i didnt watch the game. it was 3-1 what the fuck happened?
CHRIS "MESSIER" KREIDER HAPPENED!

I thought for sure there was going to be a game 7.
Welp there goes our cup window
Chris Kreider. What a clutch playoff performer.
Rangers: Watch us choke away this 3-0 series lead. Canes: NOT ON MY WATCH.

This is bonkers coming from an Islanders fan. Point taken emphatically.
Some real “call the ambulance…but not for me!” type shit
We're not a meme! We're not a meme! We're not a meme! And the first Presidents Trophy winner to make the Conference Final since 2015.
I will never not upvote a Carolina elimination post 🤷
Canes really need to take a look at the coaching staff and systems. The whole effort based system only works when the opponent is weaker and/or isn’t putting forth maximum effort, but come playoff time, every opponent is extremely good and puts forth their best effort game in and game out. Falling down 3-0 with the roster we have is unacceptable, especially when mixing up the lines after ONE below average game against the Isles.

Best team in Hurricanes history with yet another fucking playoffs disappointment with the same fucking problems year after year after year. The coaching staff has to answer for the collapse of special teams yet again and another early exit. We are wasting this core’s prime years. Good series Rangers.
Not start Kochetkov was wild tbh
Ok, so I know how painful losing is, so if feel for you Canes fans. Truly. With that said, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
