Heading into this series I was worioed about playing the Canes at even strength. I was wrong. it's their special teams that have killed the Canadiens. Again tonight, their two goals were on Power Plays.

Mario, I am concerned we cannot overcome the canes PP I hope they habs give a good showing Tues for the home fans.

Never mind the Canes PP, our PP was so brutal that Gainey should be lobbying to decline power plays!!! The 1st Canes PP was screened by 4 players...and it looked like 3 of them were Habs!!!

Guys, I was at the game. Indeed it is a major no-no, but I was at that game. Don't get me wrong, I'd be pissed too! But I gotta tell ya, the RBC is so loud it is easy to miss a whistle at times...happened on couple of offsides calls too, one for each team, with play continuing after a linesman's whistle...

Great game! Even though my 'Canes are up 3-2, the series is still up for grabs. Both netminders are playing great! Whoever comes out of this series is going to give their opponent some hell!

Good luck in Game 6 all.

Hey that's a pretty good post from a guy who seemed like Justin Williams' "nephew" in his last ones. Glad to see there are some solid hockey fans in Carolina.

It was intentional twice and may have been accidental once. It's neither here nor there, but it shows a lack of character by the players who did it as well as the Habs for not kicking the crap out of them for a major hockey ettiquite breach. Huet was pissed, and I can tell you, as a goalie I would have taken matters in to my own hands after the third one, then singlehandedly killed the penalty!
