That’s the risk with two title games on the same day-and just some horrid calls in Chicago, but #UNC will be back..and this weekend begins the fight for arguably the hardest title in the NCAAs to win

Sat next to Mike at the morning presser and asked him if he had some pads for working with Tripp—said just a flak jacket and that he would get Tripp at some point. Think that last shove was him doing that.

Asked Miller what about his game frustrates opponents so much... Staal: "I can answer that."

K'Andre Miller asked today about Alexandre Texier's spear: "I don't know if I've ever seen a slash to the midsection before."

Big moment, big call, big celly 😂👏

I’m not exaggerating that this may be my finest journalistic moment. You can tell in this answer he wanted to say something about it—I just wish I hadn’t stumbled into “hit” but look, you can’t ask “what did you think about the lack of call on K’Andre Miller getting hit in the balls?”

The Carolina Hurricanes were searching for the reset button. On Saturday night, they found it. Now what? Free to read, from Raleigh — www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

We don’t get much in the press box but someone was smart enough to add Cheerwine to the drinks this time around. Glad our Canadian friends got a chance to taste it

"That's a guy that can win the game for you." Is Nikolaj Ehlers the offensive weapon the Carolina Hurricanes have been desperately searching for? He certainly looked like it in Game 2. thehockeynews.com/shortUrl/pdg...

How's this for a stat: Jackson Blake was credited with five blocks, besting his previous career high of two that he had accomplished in nine regular season games.

Tonight was the second time in NHL history that a team was held to 12 shots or fewer in an overtime playoff game, per @hockey-reference.com The other was April 19, 1978, when the Black Hawks (two words then) were limited to 12 shots against the Bruins in a 4-3 loss at Boston Garden.

"To be able to do this at home, in front of our crowd was special. I felt everything out there. That's one I'm not going to forget." Nikolaj Ehlers, Jalen Chatfield, Jaccob Slavin, Frederik Andersen, Eric Robinson, Mark Jankowski, RBA on Game 2 OTW. thehockeynews.com/shortUrl/4I4...

I sincerely appreciate Ryan doing me a solid here and pulling this quote. I swear I was stuck trying to not say “cup check.”

Rod Brind'Amour asked about the "hit" on Miller: "You mean the spear?"

My seat is to Ryan’s left so he did the better job recording this. Lenovo is something when that crowd pops man.

Carolina heads to Montreal with a 1-1 series tie thanks to Nikolaj Ehlers

Mike and Tripp final game winning goal call. #SoundTheSiren play.google.com/store/apps/d...

Uses this stat in my recap and all credit in the world for Cory finding it.

Here's your recap as #SoundTheSiren finally gets a home Eastern Conference Playoff Win thanks to some magic fo Nikolaj Ehlers. Series is now 1-1 as they head to Montreal www.canescountry.com/2010-11-caro...

And the Hell site has decided I'm now a bot so it won't let me post original things. Awesome. If someone would be so kind to link stuff over there it would be great. Here's locker room interviews, Jaccob Slavin youtu.be/QSgm9XOozeI?...

Ehlers may have just scored the biggest goal for the franchise in a long time.

Of course the hell site would start failing for me. Let's see about here.

OT was bound to happen this series as both teams have needed it multiple times to advance. Both are comfortable in it, pressue has to be on the Canes here.

And for the third straight series, the Canes will play Overtime in Game 2.

Montreal looking to avoid Overtime here as they continue to dominate play the latter half of this period. Also beginning to wonder if Carolina used all their Puck Luck in the first couple of rounds

And just like that Montreal does what Montreal does. Canes try to clear the puck out but too many people on the net and They tie it up. They just don't go away.

Your daily reminder that if the opponent is behind their own net, and trailing, and they WANT TO WASTE TIME by holding it...DON'T BOO! Cheer! They are wasting time! Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

How in the way have all of the Canes been tonight? Svechnikov blocks a shot perfectly to where the puck gets stuck in the tape on his skate. 8:58 to go #SoundTheSiren still up 2-1

Montreal playing with urgency right now and a lot of the action is going on in front of Andersen. Been up to the task so far but Canes need to take back over.

Andersen makes a sneaky grab when Martinook blocks a shot and Montreal is able to grab it to put it on net.

See the replay now...Jarvis was just too deep to be able to get a great shot off.

First line nearly strikes as it looks like Aho and Jarvis just miss the net on either side. Canes aren't sitting back, they know a third goal would be massive here.

Biggest difference tonight versus Thursday--#SoundTheSiren is in lanes, anticipating passes, not sending too many players, getting sticks in the way...There's a reason Montreal only has 6 shots tonight.

Jaccob Slavin seems to have remembered how to defense, folks. Basically breaks up a two on one by himself.

And #GoHabsGo has their best offense possesion in a while, but this time Andersen makes the save--Tricky shot by Evans.

PP1 looks even better, gets some shots and basically controls the whole time, but no dice and we are even again.

In the end, though, the call is 2 and you have to make them pay. You get a Power play to start the third here.

Randomly ran into Olczyk in the hallway--we don't hear the TNT feed up here so I was curiuos what the national view was. Said it basically should have been a major, and apparently French TV is agreeing it should have been five. So yeah, not just Canes fans on that one.

Has been pointed out to me it was actually Svech that basically did the work and Andersen just cleaned it up--I was understandably umm...focused on something else on the replays.

Andersen with a HUGE save at the end of the period, horn sounds and Miller is down on the ice. And we just saw the replay. Montreal with a cup check and they call a major on the ice to review it.

Y'all would have laughed at me with the way I reacted to that goal. I apologized for turning into a fan and those around me were just like "Dude...that was a crazy goal."

RAISE UP!!! Ehlers. I...have no words. 2-1 #SoundTheSiren.

PP1 spends the whole penalty on the ice, control the action, and don't get one shot on goal. Svech misses a wide open shot and Aho's stick shatters on his shot. rough to come out of that with nothing

A long offensive zone shift for #SoundTheSiren leads to an interference call on Dobeš--After the break Canes are on the power play, fair to say it would be good to convert .

So...we're not calling trips eh?

Think you're seeing a sign of just how strong Carolina's fourth line has played with the amount of ice time they are getting. It's an advantage Brind'Amour is clearly hoping to try and create with the Canes' Depth

So far, you could call this period even. Both teams have had extended zone times, just 2-1 shots for the Canes.

Great job by a mish-mashed second line as Montreal pins them in the zone, but #GoHabsGo don't really get a shot off and it leads to an icing by the Habs.

Second period is a go as #SoundTheSiren finishes off the PK. This was their best period Thursday and has been Montreal's worst in the playoffs--let's see if that plays out again.

The big takeaway from that period is the adjustment Brind'Amour made. The Staal line was Carolina's best in Game 1, and he moved them to go head to head with the Suzuki line to start tonight. The Suzuki line managed one shot attempt in the first 20 minutes at 5v5, 0.04 expected goals.
