If BUF/MON goes the distance Carolina is going to have more time off then between seasons of The Comeback.

Montreal and Buffalo meet in Game 7 tonight to see who advances to probably get swept by Carolina in the next round. The Hurricanes will be very well rested against one of these exhausted teams.

11 days! My playoff beard has really grown since they last played.

Hurricanes set modern record for longest wait between playoff series

Final four:

Colorado vs Vegas

Carolina vs Montreal

3-1 odds Carolina has forgotten the way to the rink. Montreal game one win via forfeit.

In the eternal rest vs. rust debate, rust wins. Or loses , depending on how you look at it.

Prediction for tonight. The opposite of game 1. This time Montreal jumps out to a quick early lead, which will prompt outcries of What happened to Carolina?

Then Carolina steamrolls them the rest of the game.

Two streaks continue

- Canada no Stanley Cup since 1993

- The Presidents Trophy winner (most points in regular season) hasn’t won the Cup since 2013 (Chicago)

Finals—— Vegas vs. Carolina. Starts Tuesday.

Tonight will be the first time I get to watch a playoff game live. Thanks to a free 3 week YouTubeTV trial I can watch the Stanley Cup and NBA finals.

Carolina hasn't really been tested. I was surprised Vegas swept Colorado. Vegas beat Carolina twice convincingly early in the season.

Home ice will be the difference. Carolina wins in 7 games. They will win the Stanley Cup 20 years after they won in 2006.

Well, that was your run of the mill, seen it all before type of game.

Heartbreaking loss for the Cardiac Canes. I think they have to start Brandon Bussi in Game 4. He played very well in relief.

Tough decision. Depending on the results, Brind'Amour‘s goalie choice is going to make him either a genius or an idiot.

I see both arguments. I personally would probably go back to Andersen.

The Cup is in the building. Let's hope it stays locked up till Wednesday.
