What a classic veteran game by Staal tonight.

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

For those who say the Canes don't show up at playoff time, this is why Canes fans love the playoffs. Win or lose, it is intense and interesting, and we have won our share of series in recent years. The Rangers have a strong team. Two more wins is still a huge challenge, but I am proud of the fight in this team. They really don't give up.

[@calmistheway]

it's easy when the opposing team does not show up. Usually these Ranger skids last 5-7 games. It's possible a reverse sweep is in the making.

[@people3865]

Canes always show up. They aren't the Leafs. People saying that aren't paying attention lol.

[@tomdemay6147]

6 straight years with at least one playoff series win. granted we haven't made it to the finals but Canes definitely "show up" for playoffs

[@shaman2384]

Thg questioned Canes playoff performance, but in the last decade they are a top 10 team and still rising. Their defensive capability is unquestionably the solid top 1 (or 2 if you're hater) .

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

@@shaman2384 The Canes have been fun to watch in the playoffs since 2001. I went to one game that year and was hooked. They have always made noise.

Let’s go Hurricanes! They are making it a series. If they can force game 7 all the pressure will be on NYR

[@DaneBryantFrazier]

Somehow, -palpatine- the hurricanes returned

[@PolaireOfAstora]

Splendid.

[@randomcrandom]

Rangers turtled in the 3rd and for the life of me I cannot understand why teams do that. The Rangers certainly aren't the only team to have done that against an opponent. Allowing any NHL team to do what they want for a full period is a recipe for disaster.

[@therecanbeonly1497]

It was bad. I have no clue what they were doing before Staal's goal. They just let Orlov sit on the blue line with the puck for about 5 seconds. No one even thought about pressuring him.

[@kmccart85]

no Turtle that was AV's style it never got us anywere 😥

[@user-dl3uo3we2z]

I'm surprised at the jump in Staal's game..( not a young pup)...he's looked so good these playoffs

[@mdd47]

He always gets turnt up in the playoffs

[@coastingalong]

as a rangers fan, this is just so typical new york hockey. i swear the hockey gods will never let me watch a rangers game without having 18 heart attacks

[@YOUTY209]

Also notable, the hurricanes are back to being -1 on the powerplay. 1 for 20, with 2 shorties let in. A reverse sweep with a negative PP differential would be insanity.

[@goldenspatian517]

It’s not happening

[@CanesGunners]

1-0 everyday, if the mentality of this team has taught me anything, it’s that every second is a new second. It’s never over, and always fight like hell (leading or down). We absolutely can do this.

[@jonlaw16]

I'm trying to be at peace with whatever happens the rest of the series. I'm just happy the Canes fans get (at least) one more chance to cheer on the team. PWHL Minnesota also showed some push back tonight when they were facing a sweep. Can at least one of my preferred teams complete the reverse sweep???

[@purplebeard1526]

Going to game 6. Karma for missing game 4. That shorty took out a lot of momentum, but man, that 3 goal burst...tide changed! Shout out to Jordan Staal.

[@thechad1905]

Jordan Staal is amazing he keeps getting better with age. His goal totally reshaped the game and saved the season for the Canes. Let's go old guys!!!!

[@goaliecoachmike]

The Canes are scary good and my thoughts exactly. Hope we can close the deal in G6.

[@raoulduke3770]

Goaltending and special teams are a huge part of hockey. Probably the two most important areas.

[@ncobs1]

Through the regular season Canes had better PP and PK over the Rangers. It just... went away....

[@darrengilbert7438]

Very good commentary on the game. Hope to hear you talk about the Canes a few more times this playoff season.

[@Rockhound6165]

It does amaze me that the Canes' powerplay is Flyers-eqsue.

[@Tidalstream]

I believe

[@dantebrionesclarke3874]

Canes could do it

[@toddashley407]

Most certainly possible... They got the lineup to pull it off and it feels like they turned the tide tonight.

[@trobertw]

They could but I got $20 on the Rangers so let's hope not

[@dfoleyusa]

Very possible they were in Games 1-3 but just couldn’t quite solve Igor. Now they are getting some looks and finally burying them. I expect game 6 to be nuts - really hoping for a Game 7 even though I have no rooting interest in the series.

[@teapea8184]

Considering how first 4 games went. Absolutely, but at the same time Rangers have 2 more games to close it, so it's still heavily in their favor. I certainly didn't think this had any business going to game 6 after first 3. But honestly it all feels like game 7 isn't it?

[@Justme77400]

I’m a Ranger fan and I agree. You will win this. It’s over for my stinking team. Same 💩different year.

[@brandonr.2807]

Please keep that Cane's Pennant up! I have been watching to see if its gonna come down, and I think its helping the guys with Mojo!

[@bulletboy4111]

Very hard to not go full doom mode after that performance. Onto game 6 but wow. Yikes.

[@AmoimanLives]

I'd still be surprised if Carolina ties the series up. There's a reason there are so few 0 - 3 series comebacks. But the Rangers are under immense pressure now to wrap this up next game. If it goes to a 7th game, it only takes one mistake to lose the entire series.

[@kmccart85]

Think mess summed it up best. NYR turtled playing not to lose instead of playing to win

[@jcoats5529]

That's such a cliche now.

[@enjoyerofcake2123]

The interview did mention the rangers saying defense about 10 times when discussing what they needed to do in the third. So turtling is probably actually what happened.

[@anthonycoccaro5124]

No you could tell they were trying to do a 16 minute PK

[@nottherocketman]

Go Canes! Love to see teams pushing back like this.

[@mercywilliams2698]

So glad the Canes pushed on through to continue things..both Team Captains stepped forward with scoring first for their teams.

[@craigerickson6308]

Rangers got too cocky. Be great to see the canes snatch the next two game. 😂

[@ChinStudios]

As a rangers fan, someone’s gotta show some stones and be vocal. And I’m looking at kreider. Everyone’s just gotta breathe they’re up 3-2 it doesn’t matter that it was 3-0. Being up 3-2 is great just need to reset

[@ChinStudios]

I KNEW IT WAS KREIDERS TIME

[@andrewhamilton1361]

It says a lot about how well Shesterkin is playing AND how well the Hurricanes have been playing that everyone universally understands that, despite giving up 3, 3, 2, 4 and 3 goals in this series, Igor has been standing on his head. Big stat for the Canes tonight: 4 goals despite their top 4 forwards of the playoffs so far(Aho, Guentzel, Svechnikov and Jarvis) being held off the scoresheet completely. Their depth has finally woken up these past two games.

[@goaliecoachmike]

We’re too reliant on Igor and our PP.

[@FlyHenryFly]

aho and svech have been tremendous the entire series though especially aho who seems to always perform at a very high level vs NYR

[@par000002]

Thanks Shannon! Great review and I think you are correct, the Canes haven't played bad, they just haven't been the one to win. And today the Rangers didn't play bad, they just weren't the ones with the win. I mean, they are both friggen awesome teams, can't win them all.

[@Xstrangis]

I’m not disappointed by the result. I’m disappointed because I thought the rangers would play with urgency and determination to close out the series. Instead, that was a nearly identical performance to when they got eliminated last postseason. The rangers’ defensive structure vanished entirely. Every Carolina goal was scored when multiple players were flatfooted and/or out of position. That was complete and utter choking if I have ever seen it. I could live with a 4-1 loss at home vs Carolina, had only the rangers even tried to make it look like they cared at all.

[@bradleytannehill9585]

On to fight another day

[@TheBigRedskull]

Canes are my Lowkey second team so it would be so cool if they can pull off the reverse sweep!

[@davidchimes3464]

Carolina looked like a championship team tonight. Too bad they are down 3-2. Even if they continue to play this well the next two games, Shesterkin can easily steal another game. If they complete a reverse sweep and win in 7, look out!

[@NHLCrazy2007]

Championship team? Did they already play Florida? Dallas?

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

​@@NHLCrazy2007 They shut out Florida the last two times they played. The Canes are there with the best. Obviously,the Rangers still may win the series anyway.

[@nINJAP3RUNA]

I mean, the third period was good but the Rangers didn't really show up tonight. We need to step up next game as the Rangers will most likely play a lot better.

[@MasterEXpulsion]

Shesterkin is good but he gives up waaaaay too many rebounds that Carolina doesn't capitalize on

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

@@MasterEXpulsion I had the opposite opinion. In earlier games, I kept saying he does not give them up. Late tonight he did. He is hard to beat low. In the last two games, most goals were upper net.

[@canesfan1526]

Canes proving everyone wrong. Not physical, well it’s tied on hits this series They just fold 2 wins with their back against the wall They can’t beat a hot goalie, score 4 in back to back games. These boys do not quit

[@danwoodliefphotography871]

Two 6 on 5 goals against NY. Two late goals in 9 seconds and then 8 seconds against the Islanders, and now this. The game is never over until it is over.

[@bwstanley26]

KK has been a heel for good reason, but I thought he’s had some nice moments in the postseason, and definitely tonight. He’s not the 2C the canes hoped but he’s not as bad as some people say either. Really good on the forecheck and physical tonight

[@UvReflexes]

If Canes really pull off the reverse, the rangers will be turnings upside down potentially. Man I love playoff hockey.

[@lukevacca1537]

Kinda nuts that you'd rather be 3-0 down and win the next two, then be 2-1 up and lose the next two. Canes have a chance to make this interesting on Thursday

[@aeronothis5420]

Rags looked tired in this game ngl. If it weren't for Shesty doing Shesty things, this was easily a blowout win to the tune of 7+ goals. Hoping the momentum continues for my Canes. This game was our Senzu bean and next game we can't let up. Win in dominant fashion and break the Rags like we did the Debs last year.

[@GoodMenstruationAttitude]

The best part of this series has to be every time Burns challenges Rempe to a fight and he backs down 🤣

[@tyrous1743]

Whelp, now us Rangers fans are getting nervous. If they play game 6 the same way they played game 5, this series is being reverse swept.

[@jmckemy]

Carolina found something. They have dug deep and got some fire. They may pull off the 3-0 comeback. At this point it will not surprise me at all.

[@americanloyalist4599]

Mets were touching the cup recently

[@_KRose]

This was the first game in this series to not be decided by one goal. Also, the first I would almost consider a "blowout". Wow. What a 3rd period...Checking the app and seeing the Rangers up 1-0 going into the 3rd I thought; alright, well I guess this series ain't going to 6. Tuning in, I thought the Canes just looked done and was sure it'd end that way. And then old man Staal decides to just light the fire all by himself and score one of the nicest goals I've seen in a while. And just like that, suddenly Carolina came to life. 1-1 became 2-1 and then 3-1. Suddenly the Rangers' net was empty on a faceoff, something I didn't realize as I complained "Don't ice the damned puck again!" only to see it hit the empty cage for 4-1. Four unanswered goals in one period is almost an absurdity in a series that has been so close up until this. I'd say it's a statement, but who knows if this still just ends in Raleigh. I think, if you're New York, you MUST end this in Raleigh. Because I think if you let this go to 7, Carolina is winning it.

[@duckydonne11]

I’m nervous as a Rangers fan, but I’m still confident. Been a fan for over a decade and every playoffs they have one game that is absolutely pathetic and makes you wonder how they got as far as they got. With the special teams and Igor, if Rangers can even just evenly play Carolina once they will win.

Peter Laviolette might be on the other side of a series starting 3-0 and going to a game 7 lol

[@NinjaBear29]

Worst the period the rangers have played all playoffs, they will correct the ship in Carolina but got did they look bad

[@spinin1251]

The reason why the comeback feels like it is possible here is because this has been a very close series. It could have been Car up 2-1 after the first 3 games. So not much changed in game 4 and Rangers lost in what was similar to the first 3 games. But now, in game 5, the Rangers looked flatfooted and not generating much of anything, especially in the 3rd period. All of a sudden, Car looked dominant. If the Rangers can't step their intensity back up, if they will continue to play defensively like they just need to hang on, and if they won't generate much, this could be a blowout for Car in the last 2 games.

Hurricanes can pull this off it they keep their cool and stay playing their game. They’ve been getting themselves into trouble every time they take the goon bait from the Rangers. If they stop trying to react to every time a Ranger player tries to take a run at someone or tries to bait them into retaliating they can get the upset. If they do give into it then the Rangers win the series. Sincerely, Not a hurricane or ranger fan. PS I don’t care who wins the series.
