The blown lead, the 2 goals in 9 seconds, the shot differential, the temper tantrum at the end. This game was such a meme for the Islanders.

It’s basically the Islanders season on CliffNotes

Total meltdown by the Isles. The Captain should have acted like one, and composed the rest of the squad. Sad!

[@4carhur1more]

They truly are the Ice Mets.

[@TheFusionmix]

The shot attempts being 110-28 for the Canes is insane.

[@Rockhound6165]

Shot attempts is just as silly a stat as shots on goal. Shot attempt could mean throwing the puck in the general direction of the net but I've seen shots go off of the goaltender and not be counted as SOG.

[@TheFusionmix]

@@Rockhound6165 kind of like +/-. Generally a useless stat to micro analyze - until it balloons into such a wildly large discrepancy as this.

[@mdd47]

If Guentzel taunted Nelson, it's because Nelson slashed him twice on the leg, once before the goal and once after. But I don't think Guentzel taunted anybody, it's not his style

[@myklaaron7879]

He got him on the hands/arm area too. Before the goal. And then the leg. Before and after the goal. Dirty and mad af😅 It definitely wasn't Guentzel taunting anyone beyond saying f*ck you and your slashes,buddy🫡

[@SnarlyCharly]

Actually it was three times; twice in the leg on the way to the net, and then again on the hand after the goal was scored. And then the cross check... Nelson was a little salty to say the least

[@maxfish4270]

My guess is once it was 4-3 Carolina this game got about 5% attention because there was about 0.005% chance of the Isles tying it and either a different game was being watched or work was being done.

[@godawful5600]

Yeah I agree, usually I wouldn’t bring this kinda thing up but Nelson was going overboard on Guentzel with the stick before the empty netter. Like I get it, you gotta try to stop him from getting it in, but he was slashing him all over repeatedly

[@meddyven]

Agree, Guentzel is a hard charger, and plays that way till the final horn. That's what wins Stanley Cups!

[@goose5462]

Canes team: Our Goal looks shaky... lets limit the opposition to 1 shot for the next 34 minutes.

[@myklaaron7879]

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

That's INSANE, and I thought the puck possession of the 2022 Avs was impressive

[@Piper_____]

Not only that, the Isles didn’t get a shot on goal until 6:30 remaining in the 1st period. That’s another 13:30 where they didn’t have a shot. And with the 12:00 at the end of the game where there were no isles shots, that’s 25 and a half minutes where the islanders didn’t have any shots. There was not a lot of time in this game when the isles were doing anything.

[@zach367]

At 5 on 5 the Canes Aho, Guentzel, and Svech line didn’t allow a single shot all game

[@casewojo6186]

@@RIPJimmyA7Xit’s mostly how well the Canes break up plays in the neautral zone. They don’t even give their opponent an opportunity to dump and chase lol. It’s relentless and impressive .

[@raymondrutledge6815]

Sorry man… cracking on Guentzel is off base when you consider Nelson was slashing Jake in the back of the legs the entire time he was scoring the empty netter… chirping Nelson is the e LEAST that shoulda happened

[@jakeplaysbass95]

I came here to say this, but you beat me to it.

[@griffisjm]

Guys, really? We are better than this. Stop acting like Leafs fans. Dudes watching 3 games at this point, trying to take notes on all 3 so he can make the review we all came here to watch. Dude missed 3 seconds of video and didn't see the slash, big whoop. The number of people whining here about Nelson and Shannon missing the slash is insane. So many more important points to focus on. The fact is that it was a dominant game for the Canes and a great comeback with a great storyline. Who cares if THG missed an absolutely normal whack at JG, those are literally happening all game, but even if it was some giant rare bad thing, our boy is human, give him a break. It's been said 50 times in the comments, let's represent the Canes better and carry the flag with some respect.

[@griffisjm]

@drunkenaletho That's hilarious man! Made my day! It just bothers me. Shannon seems like a nice guy and Watching fellow canes fans rail him for missing 3 seconds of play while watching 3 games is just crazy. And the slashes weren't even bad. The Canes do it too, and Jake knew good and well what would happen when he buried that shot. It doesn't make it right but he's a big boy and he was sending a message, and they came after him for it. But to hammer THG, who generally pumps the Canes for missing a tiny piece of a game, just not cool.

[@brandonmiracle9810]

Nah Guentzel wasn't taunting him. Nelson had just hacked at his hands at least twice before the ENG and then again once or twice after. He was telling Nelson off, not taunting him.

[@SnarlyCharly]

I usually trust THG's judgement 100% when it comes to most anything hockey, but I definitely have to disagree with you when you say that Guentzel taunted Nelson after the empty netter. Nelson blatantly slashed Guentzel in the leg twice on his way to the net, and then again on the hand after the goal was scored. Nelson then followed Guentzel straight over to the boards to throw the cross check. Even the Isles fans I've seen have agreed that Nelson was 100% the instigator of that little scuffle

[@Implicit_Truth]

I (Isles fan) have the same opinion about this as I did about the other empty net situations this season. It's hockey. No blame on either side. Don't blame Nelson or Palmieri for going after Guentzal, don't blame Guentzal for slapshotting the empty net or for taunting them. So much of this game is mental, these guys are trying to get into eachother's heads. However, I do just want to crawl into a hole and pretend that this series never happened.

[@griffisjm]

Yeah but those first slashes were normal, they happen all game long. I can point you to video of the Canes doing the same thing. And Jake is a big boy hockey player, he knew what would happen when he buried that shot. Remember a few months back when Morgan Riley dummied the sens guy(can't remember who it was) for the same thing? He knew they would come after him, and he was chirpping them all the way, but that slash at the hands is uncalled for. Either way, you can't be mad at THG for that? That was during Dallas Vegas who were having a goal fest, and Kings Edmonton who were also having lots of action, he saw the goal and that was it. But people on here are going crazy cause Nelson whacked at his legs a few times like everyone does and THG didn't talk about, just uncalled for.

[@tannern2280]

Nelson slashes Guenztel all the way to the empty net and Guenztel smacks it home. Nelson was frustrated losing a game they should have won. He was also extra salty Guenztel didn't just let the empty netter goal slide he actually shot it with force. That "unwritten rule" lol.

[@Vossenator]

Its a dumb unwritten rule. Most of them are in sports.

[@hctimo787]

Nelson was whacking at Jake's left calf before AND AFTER the ENG. Nelson's behavior was weak and uncalled for. I totally understand the frustration, but the Islanders fell off their rocker.

[@VanillaLoaf]

He should have been slashing Dobson for his awful effort on the GWG.

[@myklaaron7879]

​@@VanillaLoafto be fair the 2 islander goals was burns and Skjei and the Skjei and Pesce being soft below the goal line getting trapped back there. Only reason it was 3-0 the 4 on 4 and PP defensive breakdowns.

[@paulhines5010]

Or... the Canes won the series. This team has found some ridiculous levels of play against a lot of teams lately, not just the Isles.

[@bartholomewesperanza3442]

Weird to completely ignore the fact that Nelson was two hand hacking Guentzel including one after the empty net goal

[@meddyven]

Best trade 'Canes made ever! Guentzel is a horse, and a force on the ice!

[@maxfish4270]

Only to allow better appreciation for the goal, Jarvis scored bar down, not 5 hole though it certainly looked like it. And as others have mentioned, Jake was slashed multiple times before the empty net goal.

[@therecanbeonly1497]

And after

[@myklaaron7879]

Exactly on both points. Bar down and 5 slashes before and after🫡🤡🌍

[@rdmartin01]

I was at the game and it was completely bonkers!! So many shot attempts and posts and finally goals. We were still cheering the tying goal when Martinook scored the winner. If the Canes 23-24 motto "Cause Chaos!" was ever true, this was the night!

[@ncobs1]

Ya, I was there too and we were talking about the tie goal then I glanced over JUST in time to see Martinook stuffing his in. I was busy thinking "When did he even get over there?"

[@JackCallSports]

The fact as an Islander fan is I’m not even surprised they blew it 25 blown leads in the third TWENTY FIVE

[@maxanderson8872]

Also 15 losses in overtime and 15 shots in this game lol. Blown leads are caused by their turtle version of hockey when attempting to hold the lead. That’s on coaching.

[@ascendedgoji]

Total dominance from the Canes, start to finish. Which sounds weird to say considering they trailed 3-0 at one point. But if you saw the game.....you know

[@TomRoyce]

Yeah, my wife got pissed when we went down 3-0. I told her that the Canes were playing well and made a couple mental errors. The Islander's conditioning sucks compared to the Rod's Canes, and they would dominate the 2nd half of the game. Giving up only one shot and coming back to win proved that point.

[@craigskiff6500]

Here is a wild stat to come out of this game: This marks the first time in the 52-year history of the New York Islanders that they had a 3-goal lead in a playoff game, and lost the game. This loss may very well be a fatal blow to the Islanders.

[@myklaaron7879]

81 games. Almost a full seasons worth 😅

[@TheZenomeProject]

This was a hilarious game for the Canes. Complete domination, but some early blown coverage meant that they needed an epic comeback to get the job done on the scoresheet. I'm so glad that they did, because otherwise this would've been one of the flukiest playoff losses in recent memory.

[@kubedgaming53]

Guentz wouldn’t be taunting if Brock Nelson wasn’t softer than Charmin Ultra Soft and wasn’t slashing Guentz the WHOLE WAY DOWN THE ICE and after he scored. The Crylanders show out again.

[@cmd31220]

I was watching this game in between the Bruins game and I tuned in to a 3-0 isles lead but couldn't understand it because Carolina was running them off the ice. Like, I genuinely thought Carolina was on a power play the scoreboard forgot to show because it was 2 minutes of uninterrupted offensive zone time just passing and shooting

[@myklaaron7879]

There were like 3 or 4 of these shifts/double shifts. Indeed

[@Mr.Quinlan888]

No kidding. When I tuned in and saw the 3-0, I was like, "what the eff". And then Carolina spent so much time in the offensive zone I thought I missed some phantom major penalty.

[@donalddees5503]

Guentzel was not taunting anybody. Bad take.

[@wewantcorndogs]

This is why I watch hockey.

[@cjoliver7871]

This game feels like it was a backbreaker for the Isles. They completely melted down and have no momentum going home to New York.

[@lankancheetah]

The last two times Carolina came back from a 0-3 deficit in the playoffs (2002&2006), they made the finals. They also came back from 0-3 in game 1 vs Edmonton in 06 finals. Take that for what it's worth.

[@meddyven]

This team is a complete juggernaut. Getting Guentzel and revitalizing Kuznetzov will pay huggge dividends all playoffs. Hope Pesce's lower body injury won't keep him out long.

I took a screenshot of that Martinook goal as he held up at the blueline to stay on sides, and that was an amazing effort. I got a front side of the view from the NHL video, and he earned that goal, with the faceoff, the staying onside, the pickpocket, and the quick put in. That was insane.

[@toddashley407]

Been a Canes fan since Detroit Dynasty era of the late 90s early 2000s - The wings seemed unbeatable back then and I always envied the Detroit fans for having such a powerful team and I thought I would never know the feeling they have - until now.... OMG that was bonkers. The Canes squad is absolutely magical when they put it in top gear (which seems to be better any other team's top gear in league - just like the Detroit squad back in the day). I am thrilled and awe struck at the same time. I think I actually like this squad more than the 2006 bunch - and I loved them with a passion.

[@yorkmartin8569]

Geuntzel was taunting Nelson because Nelson slashed him on his way to the goal and another big chop after the goal. Islanders turned into absolute goons after that.

[@Thunderbirds101]

Astounding implosion by the Isles. Maybe a return to home ice will help, but a defeat in that fashion is absolutely spirit-crushing.

[@toddashley407]

I don't think it was the Isles imploding as much as the Canes refusing to lose at home and shifting into OD with a nitrous injection.

[@TomRoyce]

I think the part that will crush the Islander's spirits is the Cane's conditioning. The Islanders had nothing in both 3rd periods, while the Canes dummied them in the energy department.

[@gdriscoll4947]

There is a very important lesson we have to remember with this game. Multi goal leads are more likely to evaporate when a team has a very low amount of shot attempts or shots on goal in general.

[@staalman1226]

I love your videos, and I can see how you would've seen it like this, but I just rewatched the highlights, and it's pretty clear that Guentzel wasn't taunting Nelson. He raised his hand for the goal, and turned his head after noticing Nelson was following him.

[@willroute]

Like all your reviews bro. Keep it up.

[@jnerdsblog]

We gotta stop with this "unwritten rules of (insert sport here)" nonsense. From what I've heard, Guentzel was being cross-checked before he even finished the empty netter, and regardless, the Islanders' play in that final minute in general was far worse than Guentzel being excited about finishing off a comeback of that magnitude.

Canes - +500 to win cup (favorite). Isles - +28,000 to win cup. I'm an Isles fan, but I knew the lead wouldn't hold once the Canes got going. I am shocked they held the line for so long. The Canes were absolutely mauling them. It was a minor miracle the Isles held the lead so long. Then exhaustion set in and the Isles got frustrated. Nelson is a total wimp when facing anyone even close to his size, but brave against smaller players. He and Engvall are big guys but give up the puck rather than take a hit. Go play in Europe. After Yoda gutted our prospect pool, this will be a very painful rebuild to rival what the Devils went thru in the post Yoda era.

Come on man, THG is sitting there watching 3 games at a time trying to take notes to make videos. So he missed 3 seconds of the game and didn't catch the slash, that's no excuse for the amount of crap talking here in the comments. We're not Leafs fans. Let's not act like them.

@@griffisjmif he doesn’t know what really happened, then why imply Jake deserved it? Lol bro could rewind the tape and find out for himself. Not everyone reads the comments and takes what he says as what really happened.

Noeson went all sweep the leg on the Islanders and judo flipped two of them 😂

He's really adept at that hip throw .

Jarvis was bar down

[@nathanielhooks5174]

Guentzel was slashed on the hands well after he scored. I would be rubbing it too if I was him. Classless finish by the Islanders. Take your L and go home.

The best game of Day Three.

Let’s Go Canes!!

[@youreprobablywrongmyguy2016]

As a canes fan, this game is definitely worrying. Yes we came back, but not so much that we won the game, the islanders lost. Defense definitely looking slow and had questionable decision making giving the islanders uncontested chances at the net. We had some terrible zone entries and turnovers that put the chemistry into question for the lines. Just not a game that was fun to watch until the end.

I wonder if the PNC leads the NHL in "Ref you suck" chants....

[@aarongama24]

Kinda missed how Nelson was slashing Jake before he even scored. That's why he was shit talking him.

[@colindonahue4205]

wait.....what about the 1 million slashes Guentzel received before the empty netter. Don't blame him for rubbing in a bit after the goal

[@lindabrodney4958]

Sorry Bud; you need corrective lenses about Jake G. He showed restraint and discipline. He is a true Caniac.

[@father042]

What a blunder, I really don't see how the Isles can recover at this point

[@paulhines5010]

Not true. There was a Refs You Suck chant, it just didn't reach full volume. It was kind of funny...

[@jcsandstorm919]

I was thinking the same. I was there and I hate when our fans chant that because 9/10 the ref is right and I was like “ah fuck here we go again… 🙄”

[@paulhines5010]

Not much to say, except that I would hate to be Patrick Roy's furniture right now...

I'm curious to know how many times both teams have pulled their goalie at the end of the game. Gotta be rare.

[@billkochuk]

I was going to post the same thing. Can't happen very often.

I wonder if Rod is worried about the hit total after allowing 12 shots in a playoff game?

[@nicksojka7457]

Brock Nelson slashed Guentzel before that crosscheck
