#NYI #isles Not too optimistic about this game w/ Andersen returning in a building that likely won't even be filled with a dead crowd because of a bad location. I want them to win desperately but this group can't score. Carolina has rest, talent to produce 5 goals. NYI? Unlikely

They had to give Sorokin a chance, they have to produce with the powerplays they get (if any) & the refs can't decide the game. Lane Lambert, he's going on sixty, and this team needs what Rick Bowness said after Winnipeg was eliminated going into the game. It's time to show up & beat a middling first place team, loaded with talent but with the kind of injuries that made them very beatable down the stretch.
Let's see five goals tonight and the kind of statement game that wore down Boston/Pittsburgh during the Covid playoffs.
I fully expected a win before game five, it was not a statement win, tonight I have big doubts.
