This was totally UNHINGED 

The broadcast team NEEDS to be called out. Sean McDonough cannot be THE guy for the playoffs. Absolutely uninspiring goal calling and dude just loves to ramble into a goal call. Energy Vampire.

Man….Trocheck staring into the crowd and taking in the reactions of the fans is so real.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Trocheck!

The fan in the crowd celebrating with trochek, needs to post his video he took!!!!!

Also, seemingly like you Hawkey, it's been amazing to me for people to call Laff a bust SO EARLY when he's only 22! I get that he came ~immediately into the league and that he was a first overall pick, but sheesh I feel like people overlooked his age and typical development patterns.

It was a amazing game to watch

Burst out laughing when I saw the devils that high on the pre season cup list😂😂

Whoever cut out early (with 30 seconds left in the 3 Period) on the game at ESPN needed to be FIRED!!!!!!!! I hope he knows he caused some serious emotions!!!! I feel bad for fans who don't keep themselves in good physical shape. This is why exercise is a good thing! LOL!

We cant win this series if our special teams hide behind a mountain

Truba was definitely trying to chicken wing him from a Rags fan

The cross check on Skjei would not have been a penalty 25 years ago, but the game's changed, Dave Jackson said that they started calling thos because cross checking was out of control years ago

If Trouba could keep his damn elbows down, I would probably like the Rangers a hell of a lot more. He’s a good player, but when hes trying to kill opposing star players he becomes way less fun to watch

I am EU so this game was over at like almost 6 in the morning. Had to yell at my buddy like every 30 seconds so he would'nt fall asleep🤣It was hella worth it tho.

You forgot to mention Rempe and how EVERY call goes against him in the playoffs yet he still has more GOALS than Ove!

This second round is shaping up to be sick!

Awesome video!!

The canes were SO CLOSE...

I bleed Ranger blue but that cross checking penalty in the 2nd OT against Carolina was a bad call. I hate seeing that, regardless of who it’s against. This is the playoffs, it has to flagrant. That was a joke and the Rangers got the win. That’s great, but to honest the officiating has been subpar. That call against Rempe in game one for Goalie interference, when he was clearly pushed, is just the first example.

Best game of the playoffs! This matchup has everything. Good goaltending, big hits, lots of offense, deep well matched rosters !

I really really hope this series goes 7 - it’s been such high level hockey so far.

Whats the date for those odds? Preseason?

I real time, I was actually legit impressed that Trouba took the literal and figurative high road to avoid taking the head off a player who was ducking down to avoid the hit. Then I saw this and saw the elbow up and was like, "Dammit Jacob!!"

Cannot wait for thursdays game!

Haven't followed Rangers or Hurricanes at all this season and I start the video to a 57 and 39 shots, wow

Rempe is a menace😂

You have to call that penalty on Brady Shkjei, because that’s a breakaway for the canes.

Trouba was an absolute liability last night.Canes had ot power play opportunities aswell, they were shut down masterfully. LGR!

Players really should interact with their fans more after scoring. Theyre right there behind the glass, after all

Laffy Taffy!!!!

The fact anyone called laffy a bust at how young he was is insane.

Lavi should have let Rempe loose, kid was salivating at the thought of of going after Deangelo or Necas. Rightfully so he held him back, they might even recall him for Brodzinski. If rangers keep up the hits, pp goals and score 4 or more we’lol be golden

That game was fking WILD!!

You have to call that penalty even though it was in double OT because if you don't then it's a possible breakaway the other way. I'd have a bigger problem if it wasn't called or if it happened where it wasn't going to lead to a breakaway or scoring chance

Are you not entertained?

idk how trouba is still in this league

FIFTY SEVEN SHOTS ON GOAL let me repeat FIFTY SEVEN! holy shit

On the Trouba attempt of a hit... Trouba went for a body check. Carolina guy said nope and ducked. Trouba's skates hits the Carolina player stopping his lower body's momentum, but his upper body momentum continues causing him to fly headfirst in to the boards.

Trouba hits by putting his forearm on your core before running through you. Size difference, the speed of the game, and guys ducking and flinching leads to that extension that is simply forward, not up, being at head height sometimes.

Freddy Anderson needs some bigger pads. He’s wearing street hockey pads up to his knees. He always gets beat 5 whole.

This series is definitely gonna come down to special team, specifically can the canes shut down the rangers power play and capitalize on their own. So far the rangers are 4 for 9 on the power play (going 2 for 2 in game 1) and the canes are 0 for 10 on the power play (0 for 5 in each game). The canes only change so far is benching Anderson which makes me believe the canes are thinking “hey last year the rangers were up 2-0 but then they choked against a backup so why don’t we do that?” But to the rangers their mindset is now probably “they’re doubting themselves now by benching their starter, let’s get in their heads early and shut them down.” Rangers in 6 at most

great thumbnail

Trouba tried the elbow again on kuznetsovs goal in game 4. And got burned

“I ain’t hear no fuckin bell” - Lafreniere probably

I like watching ice hockey

Bummer to be down 0-2 as a Canes fan. Refs are calling penalties left and right on both teams. Surprised they're not letting them play a bit more, especially in a double OT. Either way, fun series so far.

Trouba flying elbow attempt, take a number carolina,

Classic trouba

So far, this has been a helluva series. Both teams are fantastic. The Rangers ST and Igor have been the difference. We could just as easily be talking about the Canes being up 2-0 or all knotted up at 1 a piece. What a treat this has been. Let's Go RANGERS!

What does the hockey pirate say? L G aRRRRRRR

Isn't it weird to know that if the Rangers win the Cup, trouba will be the one to lift it first??

Buddy, Trouba is anticipating contact and his arm going up is the follow through of said contact he's anticipating. If the Carolina player doesn't duck, he gets hit square in the chest.

Trouba was aiming for his shoulder use your eyes

Anyone else who’s watching the ESPN coverage thinks that Ray Ferraro is a complete rangers hater? Also Rangers in 4 or 5 anyone?

That was a warning for flipping shesterkin. You wanna play dirty? I didnt think so

Lets go Rangers

Truba almost cost us the game

As a Canes fan, all I know is pain…

I thought that the officiating of this game was not good. Many blown calls by the refs both ways and there were a few calls before this going Carolina's way. I feel the refs had to call something at some point and it just looked soft because it was but it made up for many of the bad calls throughout.

LGR!!!

1:50 as a rangers fan: he was definitely going for the spicy buffalo wing

1:41 that's not "finishing a check" trouba was going elbow first all day long. That was the initial attempt. Necas ducked and if he didn't, he'd be out for the season

Rangers in 4 guys 👍

Trouba's a dirty player, plain and simple. Even on his so-called clean hits, there's usually a pretty clear intent to injure.

Trouba does not try to elbow ppl intentionally. The guy has perfected perfect form for mac truck hits & anyone that says otherwise is clueless or legit biased. What RU-vidrs and most casuals say is a "chicken wing" Its just the way everyone loads up bout to make a big hit. The elbow being down and tucked while moving on skates amd preparing for a heavy collision you want to get the better of, when you miss or they duck like that, the only natural way for that energy you were loading up to release is in the arm raising from there not being a body in front of it to absorb the impact which would obv keep the arm/elbow from raising. Its just simply a result of the follow thru on a missed hit. When u look at videos of legit elbows and intentional chicken wings it's so clearly different its night & day.

Rangers causing Chaos!

I’m a ranger fan so my comment bouta sound biased, Igor flopped lmfao, fox flopped too, not gonna complain abt a PP tho but no need to flop, everything is going and Igor has been beaten by 7 deflections out of the 13 goals he’s given up, 2 are right on the crease 3 are just clean shots and 1 he should have had, all 4 lines are doing stuff

I have always wanted more penalties to be called in the playoffs. Cheaters in the box so we can actually see some hockey.

Tocchet: Refs, let the boys play, crack down on embellishment. Wishy-washy OT penalty call? Thanks Tocchet.

I hate to say it, but they gotta run igor.

Say what you want about Trouba, but there isn't a team in this league who wouldn't take him on their team.

that was the weakest croscheck call of all time bro loses an edge from getting tapped on the rear, and trouba is by far one of the dirtiest hitters in the league i dont care what people say his elbow is almost always flying in every hit.

Trouba is one of the dirtiest guys I’ve seen since Matt Cooke.😂

How dumb do you have to be to take a cross-checking penalty? These guys are supposed to be professionals and they don't even know that cross-checking is against the rules. If you hold the stick with both of your hands and you shove the stick against an opponent with force, that's cross-checking. You don't do that by accident.

Go Canes

Trouba is sooo dirty

Doesn't matter Rangers won't win the cup. Come back to this comment in a month.

Trouba was the best Canes player all night gtfoh😂

Yeah f trouba Let’s go back to the earlier in the season when he would not fight Deslauriers remember that one?? Nic was begging him and he wouldn’t do it because he’s not tough. He’s another chump cheap shot like Rempe. Yup I said it the dude should be undefeated. He’s a freaking lurch. But he’s not he’s lost a handful of fights. Can’t stand the Rangers act like they’re tough now because of that dude. It’s bs

Trouba sucks. Also keep your skates down man, a dude died from that recently jesus christ

Trouba missed, so move on

Horrible take, if you’re flying into the boards you brace yourself, simple as that.

Those announcers and really the entire league seem so butthurt this is happening and i love it. the Rangers STOLE a game last night. Like great hockey teams do. & your opinion on the Trouba hit as actually so fair, just happy it didnt connect and need to move on from it but yeesh that slow mo is nightmare fuel.

What a bummer. The Rangers are so unlikable.

The thing with the Trouba hit is that his arm pops out regardless of if he hits him in the face or goes through the body. He has a reputation and his haters will think he’s trying to headshot necas, but it’s normal hockey hit fundamentals. You protect yourself by using the arm to stabilize yourself after contact and that’s why it comes out like that even though he’s missed the hit, just instincts at that point.

Bottom line: Carolina will not win this series, Anderson is not the goalie that Shersterkin is..that is the difference bottom line, period! Carolina can't allow more than 1 goal a game if they want a chance.

Game 2 outcome wasn't decided by the players unfortunately. Go 'Canes!

PuRe BS call in double OT. It doesnt matter who you root for, it was pure steaming BS. 💩

This game sucked because it was the best game of the playoffs but ends because of a completely BS call. The refs robbed us of a great game Hurricanes are going to obliterate the Rangers in the next game

Svech's hit on Shesterkin was more egregious than Trouba's non-hit on Necas.

I am still taking Canes in seven

Let’s fucking go Rangers! We want the cup

2OT and a betteman call. Thst was a cheap call, and at blueline skating away from net/scoring chance. Hmmmmm had to meet gambling odds?

Rangers in 5

I just don't see Carolina winning a Cup. They always "play well." But they don't quite get over the hump. For one, I don't have faith in Anderson. The other team's goalie always seems to be better, no matter who it is. And I'm not sure the offense-by-committee works in the playoffs. They still don't have that one guy who's going to carry them through a series or two.
