  19.  
  20.  &lt;p&gt;A perfect storm erupted Wednesday that brought the coaching free agent situation front and center&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="RmaEIG"&gt;Perhaps no other sign that the Carolina Hurricanes have made it into the upper echelons of NHL discourse was presented to fans on Wednesday. &lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="SeRtA2"&gt;It started with an article that &lt;a href="https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article288095085.html"&gt;was authored&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;em&gt;The News and Observer’s&lt;/em&gt; Luke DeCock, using the end of the First Round series against the New York Islanders to detail the fact that coach Rod Brind’Amour was going to be a free agent as of July 1st, and going into his contract status. DeCock saw the chatter starting to increase on social media about the situation, and with a long break between series it seemed natural to go ahead and address the situation for people who aren’t as on-line. &lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="QvITs2"&gt;There was a line in the article that should have raised eyebrows sooner than it did, which DeCock would highlight on X, formerly Twitter, &lt;a href="https://x.com/LukeDeCock/status/1785733408909304184"&gt;later in the day&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p id="mY3d09"&gt;“It’s in Tom’s hands.”&lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="SmdT1H"&gt;The original quote floated under the radar mostly because as Canes fans, we’ve seen this before with, well, everyone on the team.  Dundon is absolutely not a cheap owner—see the spending to the salary cap in basically every season since he took over—but his flaw seems to be that he always has to win a deal.  He very much has a mind of what someone should be worth, and if someone disagrees is willing to let them go to the market to prove him correct or incorrect.  It’s what caused him to have Don Waddell flirt with walking, Brind’Amour to hunt for his last contract a little longer than usual, and perhaps the Aho resigning being strung out a little longer than folks expected.  He even seems aware of this, telling the &lt;a href="https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2024/04/26/tom-dundon-carolina-hurricanes-nhl-pnc-arena-mlb.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Triangle Business Journal&lt;/em&gt; recently&lt;/a&gt; that he had “removed himself” from the negotiation with Brind’Amour. &lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p id="ahZFGV"&gt;So when &lt;a href="https://www.nhl.com/hurricanes/news/playoff-notebook-updates-from-the-desk-of-don-waddell"&gt;Don Waddell gave a press conference&lt;/a&gt; on Wednesday, Brind’Amour was one of many updates.  In general, all were either the standard lines or good news.  Where he could give specifics, he did, mentioning what specific injury Jesper Fast had and that Pesce had been wearing a walking boot—which seemed to squelch rumors that Pesce suffered a knee injury of some sort.  On Brind’Amour, he struck a hopeful tone.  As Walt Ruff transcribed:&lt;/p&gt;
  26. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="215KfU"&gt;“We talk daily about it. I feel confident, as I’ve said before, that this deal will get done,” the longtime hockey executive responded. ”Rod wants to be a Hurricane for life. To me, when you’re dealing with contracts, there’s always two sides. Rod’s been great to deal with and there’s going to be a solution here very quickly, I feel.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  27. &lt;p id="Y7PsP1"&gt;It seemed to support that everything was going along swimmingly, but shortly after the press conference, TSN’s Darren Dreger dropped what can only be described as a bomb to clarify the situation. &lt;/p&gt;
  28. &lt;div id="0W0nn2"&gt;
  29. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;
  30. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Rod Brind’Amour’s future as Carolina’s coach is up in the air. Recently, a deal seemed close, but It’s believed the offer to extend the highly respected coach has been pulled. Sources say Brind’Amour wants to stay, but may have to test the market if an agreement can’t be reached.&lt;/p&gt;— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenDreger/status/1785731186884575469?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 1, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  31. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  32. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  33.  
  34. &lt;/div&gt;
  35. &lt;p id="408v9M"&gt;Later on, &lt;em&gt;Bleacher Report&lt;/em&gt; and former Hurricanes beat writer for &lt;em&gt;The Athletic&lt;/em&gt; Sara Civian backed up the report&lt;/p&gt;
  36. &lt;div id="p7WvG9"&gt;
  37. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;
  38. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Not that Darren would ever need my backing up but this is accurate. I wouldn't shoot the messenger in Don Waddell either. There's no reason this has had to get to this point when Brind'Amour was just likely asking for around or even lower than market value &lt;a href="https://t.co/tDn3jbrpdJ"&gt;https://t.co/tDn3jbrpdJ&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Sara 'vehemently anti-Rangers for a long time' Civ (@SaraCivian) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/SaraCivian/status/1785761756079403393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 1, 2024&lt;/a&gt;
  39. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  40. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  41.  
  42. &lt;/div&gt;
  43. &lt;p id="XC4jre"&gt;This led to about three hours of panicking, conjecture, anger, and all other things thrown out on social media.  In other words—a normal day on social media—but the timing of the news hurts as the team is in the midst of arguably their best chance to win the Stanley Cup, and once again it appears the owner just can’t help himself when it looks like he has to pay “more” than he thinks someone should take. &lt;/p&gt;
  44. &lt;p id="RVe5vL"&gt;Brind’Amour himself made an appearance on ESPN’s “The Point” hockey pregame show prior to Game Five of the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars Wednesday, and his statements seemed to try to tamp down some of the fire. &lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;div id="0FvPRJ"&gt;
  46. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  47. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;Steve Levy asked about his contract situation. “Everybody knows this is where I want to be,” Brind’Amour said. “I think everyone else knows me to be reasonable and fair. When two parties — listen, on any kind of a deal, if they want it to work our, it’s going to work out.” …&lt;/p&gt;— Luke DeCock (@LukeDeCock) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/LukeDeCock/status/1785806358794698885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 1, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  50.  
  51. &lt;/div&gt;
  52. &lt;div id="aGL5er"&gt;
  53. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center" data-conversation="none"&gt;
  54. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;“I’m very hopeful that we’ll figure something out here but we still have lots of time. We’re focused on, obviously, taking care of business here. Hopefully all that stuff will work itself out.”&lt;/p&gt;— Luke DeCock (@LukeDeCock) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/LukeDeCock/status/1785806361005097433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 1, 2024&lt;/a&gt;

  58. &lt;/div&gt;
  59. &lt;p id="bP2ZRK"&gt;So what on earth is going on? &lt;/p&gt;
  60. &lt;p id="OOsogB"&gt;Some conjecture from this end that isn’t that hard to figure out: when two serious hockey reporters with good sources say the same thing, there’s little reason to doubt the truth.  It’s also pretty clear that Dundon didn’t pull the contract Wednesday morning.  Thus, you can do the math.  Dundon did what he promised, and left Waddell and Brind’Amour to negotiate the deal.  They likely had it mostly hammered out before the start of the playoffs.  Then during the playoffs for one reason or another, Dundon pulled the deal.  Why?  We probably are never going to really know because once the deal is signed, all parties will be ready to move on. &lt;/p&gt;
  61. &lt;p id="ZdeauG"&gt;Not wanting the distraction during the playoffs, no one in Brind’Amour’s camp was going to blow this up while the Hurricanes were playing.  Now, though, is the perfect time to get attention.  The Canes and Rangers won’t start up till this weekend at the earliest, and once players hop on the ice for practice talk of the actual series will start to crowd out the contract talk.  Wednesday was the perfect day to get it out and try to force the issue earlier instead of having Brind’Amour to test the market for a higher dollar figure.  &lt;/p&gt;
  62. &lt;p id="ZCcSAF"&gt;In a lot of ways, it’s very similar to the Sebastian Aho situation in 2019.  The team and Dundon realized they had the upper hand with a player who wanted to stay and made no bones about it.  They had become intractable about moving from their number, and thought they had all the leverage.  Aho’s agent found a different way to create leverage and forced the team’s hand.  In the end, the team won as well even though Aho may have cost them a little more because they didn’t go through the whole summer wondering what Aho would sign for.  Aho got a good deal, and both sides seemed to learn a bit of a lesson for last offseason when his eight year extension was signed. &lt;/p&gt;
  63. &lt;p id="bp373Z"&gt;So this situation could be one where Brind’Amour’s camp is just trying to find a different way to leverage the situation.  By creating the chance that the contract could distract the team during the playoff run, it could encourage Dundon to realize that saving a few bucks on the contract could cost him much more in the long run, and change the formula to where he’d realize he’s better off letting it go.  Both parties win as the distraction is gone, the contract is signed, and Dundon wouldn’t hold a grudge as he’s shown he respects anyone who will make a savvy business move.  If he didn’t, Aho wouldn’t still be a Hurricane.  &lt;/p&gt;
  64. &lt;p id="nDUkwN"&gt;Hopefully, this drama end before this weekend with the announcement of an extension.  If true that a deal was on the table and just pulled, all Dundon would have to do is put it back on the table and it likely can be signed.  At the very least, while a sign of brinksmanship, the tone from Brind’Amour and Waddell earlier in the day pretty much signifies that all parties are close, and likely there’s just an annoyance that it can’t just be done.  &lt;/p&gt;
  65. &lt;p id="ppoTQn"&gt;With at least three more days before the Canes and the Rangers face off, they aren’t the only ones who are annoyed. &lt;/p&gt;

  82.        &lt;figcaption&gt;RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA - APRIL 30: The Carolina Hurricanes and the New York Islanders shake hands after Game Five of the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs at PNC Arena on April 30, 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

  83.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  84.  
  85.  &lt;p&gt;The Hurricanes finish round one of the playoffs by taking the Islanders, four games to one.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="NpVlZu"&gt;The Carolina Hurricanes came out hard and fast to start the game, dominated the first period, then put the game away in the third as they defeated the New York Islanders, 6-3 on Tuesday night at the PNC Arena.  &lt;/p&gt;
  86. &lt;p id="Vs1Hyc"&gt;The win locked up their round one playoff series, 4-1 as the Canes will move on to battle the New York Rangers next.&lt;/p&gt;
  87. &lt;p id="QnVP7l"&gt;Teuvo Teravainen started off the scoring just 1:23 into the game with a shot near the left circle and the home team was cooking.  &lt;/p&gt;
  88. &lt;p id="z8eywT"&gt;Less than two minutes later, Andrei Svechnikov made it 2-0 on a shot from distance that looked like it was redirected a bit off an Islander.  It was a powerplay goal for Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;
  89. &lt;p id="nN6HSa"&gt;The Islanders scored a powerplay goal of their own less than a minute later on a shot from the blue line that was redirected off a Cane.&lt;/p&gt;
  90. &lt;p id="Gr79NH"&gt;The Canes were putting almost constant pressure on the Islanders and at one point during a scrum in the crease, an Islander closed their hand on the puck in the paint so the Canes were awarded a penalty shot.&lt;/p&gt;
  91. &lt;p id="houKHe"&gt;Evgeny Kuznetsov showed off his patented slow motion routine and he buried it to make the score 3-1.  &lt;/p&gt;
  92. &lt;p id="697sib"&gt;The Hurricanes absolutely dominated the period and outshot the visitors, 21-4.  It seemed they had the game well in hand, but not so fast.&lt;/p&gt;
  93. &lt;p id="lLapXX"&gt;The Islanders got to their game in the second and the Canes seemed to sit back a bit.&lt;/p&gt;
  94. &lt;p id="y012WQ"&gt;With the scored tied, 3-3 to start the third, Carolina scored three unanswered to finish things off.&lt;/p&gt;
  95. &lt;p id="h2Sqsy"&gt;First, Jack Drury scored his first of the playoffs to make it 4-3.&lt;/p&gt;
  96. &lt;p id="FIADeF"&gt;Just eight seconds later, Stefan Noesen picked up a loose puck which took a bad bounce off the end boards and knocked it in an open net to make it 5-3 and the home crowd was smelling blood.&lt;/p&gt;
  97. &lt;p id="OxaV87"&gt;The rest of the period went scoreless until Seth Jarvis skated in an empty netter to close it out.&lt;/p&gt;
  98. &lt;p id="bCbg5g"&gt;Jarvis had a three point night to lead the way, (1G 2A) and Svechnikov was all over the ice again and led the team with six shots on goal. &lt;/p&gt;
  99. &lt;p id="HIMLe7"&gt;The Canes outshot the Islanders 38-25 for the game.&lt;/p&gt;
  100. &lt;p id="QGPoAG"&gt;After the game, Brind’Amour was happy with the results but admitted that his team “would have to play better” to compete with the Rangers.&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="IulfU0"&gt;“They are the best team in the league,” the coach said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  102. &lt;p id="SgjR9T"&gt;Noesen had an interesting quote when asked about Drury.&lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="rS1FZJ"&gt;“I cannot say enough about that kid.  Sometimes I wish he was my son”, he quipped with a smile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  104. &lt;p id="tjUlp4"&gt;The Hurricanes will try to heal up a bit before their next series.  Tony DeAngelo was slashed and might have a broken hand, (X-Rays taken after the game).  The blueliner was playing his best hockey in this series while filling in for Brett Pesce.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;p id="5AfL2N"&gt;We will have more soon about the series coming up.  &lt;/p&gt;

  164.  
  165.  &lt;p&gt;The Canes look to close out this 3-1 series.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="15qVnm"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt; are visiting the &lt;a href="https://www.canescountry.com"&gt;Carolina Hurricanes&lt;/a&gt; tonight for game five of their first round series.  The Canes lead the series three games to one.&lt;/p&gt;
  166. &lt;p id="cHnZZI"&gt;While the powerplay has produced well, (28.6%) the Canes are looking for more production at even strength.&lt;/p&gt;
  167. &lt;p id="nKoloB"&gt;Seth Jarvis, (2g 2A) Andrei Svechnikov, (0G 4A) Martin Necas, (1G 3A) and Jake Guentzel (1G 3A) lead the Hurricanes with four points each.  Jarvis, Aho, and Noesen each have two goals, which lead the Canes.&lt;/p&gt;
  168. &lt;p id="p97uYf"&gt;Brady Skjei leads the blueliners with three points, (1G 2A).&lt;/p&gt;
  169. &lt;p id="rhwC7n"&gt;For the most part, Frederik Andersen has been solid in net and is sporting a save percentage of .920 and GAA of 2.07. &lt;/p&gt;
  170. &lt;p id="SbihjW"&gt;Anders Lee leads the Islanders with four points, (1G 3A) while Matt Barzal (2G 1A) and Bo Horvat (1G 2A) each have three.  &lt;/p&gt;
  171. &lt;p id="l02dQc"&gt;Semyon Varlamov has played very well in net with a .930 save percentage and a GAA of 2.08.&lt;/p&gt;
  172. &lt;p id="599x1Y"&gt;Jesper Fast and Brett Pesce will remain out, so look for the same line up as Saturday in New York.&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p id="hnrVV7"&gt;Brind’Amour switched the lines up a bit in practice but when he was asked about it afterward, he downplayed the changes.&lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;p id="DAOHg2"&gt;Carolina will not have a morning skate this morning, but look for Andersen again Tuesday night.&lt;/p&gt;
  175. &lt;p id="rmfbv6"&gt;The Canes cannot afford to look past this plucky Islanders team to the upcoming Rangers.  They need to close this series out tonight.&lt;/p&gt;
  176. &lt;p id="lVbSmx"&gt;The game will be televised by Bally Sports South and TBS.   Game time is at 7:30 P.M.&lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;p id="VB9O5E"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  198.  &lt;p&gt;The Carolina Hurricanes looked to close out the New York Islanders in Elmont on Saturday afternoon.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="Ph25Kb"&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.canescountry.com"&gt;Carolina Hurricanes&lt;/a&gt; had an opportunity to close out the &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt; in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal in Elmont on Saturday afternoon, and they fell short in double overtime.&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;p id="8KtFse"&gt;Compared with their effort in Game 3, the Islanders came out of the gate with a more sound defensive effort, and Semyon Varlamov provided stability that Ilya Sorokin did not early on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
  200. &lt;p id="Zbim6S"&gt;The Canes struck first anyway eight minutes into the game on a power play goal by Seth Jarvis, who buried a a look from the right circle past Varlamov. &lt;/p&gt;
  201. &lt;p id="Jd384M"&gt;The first period beyond that featured very little in the way of scoring chances or high-pace action. &lt;/p&gt;
  202. &lt;p id="qXCAPC"&gt;The game opened up more in the second period, especially after the Islanders got a game tying goal from Mathew Barzal, who finally broke though with a big moment when his team needed it. &lt;/p&gt;
  203. &lt;p id="nMA1rj"&gt;Emboldened by that goal, the Islanders opened up their game to take more risks offensively, the Hurricanes were fine with that, getting the better of the scoring opportunities for the rest of the second, but they couldn’t puncture Varlamov for a second, and Sebastian Aho took a penalty at the end of the period that proved costly. &lt;/p&gt;
  204. &lt;p id="rexQeH"&gt;With a full two minute power play to start the third, the Islanders broke the tie when Noah Dobson’s blast from the point rebounded to J.G. Pageau in the slot, who rifled it home before Andersen could get over. &lt;/p&gt;
  205. &lt;p id="TZC9tG"&gt;Both teams traded penalty kills through the third, but Jaccob Slavin drew another crucial penalty with a huge effort to reach a lofty Svechnikov pass, forcing Robert Bortuzzo to hook him on his way into the zone.&lt;/p&gt;
  206. &lt;p id="SDyP66"&gt;The Hurricanes second unit got the job done, as Teuvo Teravainen wired a pass to Stefan Noesen, who tipped the puck by Varlamov to make it 2-2 late in the third.&lt;/p&gt;
  207. &lt;p id="arnVZ5"&gt;That wound up forcing overtime, where the first 20 minutes went by without a goal, but Robert Bortuzzo buried a blast early in the second overtime period to keep the Islanders alive.&lt;/p&gt;

  225.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  226.  
  227.  &lt;p&gt;Will the Islanders join the Canes on the trip back to Raleigh after today? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="7MBQa9"&gt;To say this team feels different is an understatement. &lt;/p&gt;
  228. &lt;p id="oWTrfY"&gt;This current run the Hurricanes are on is now in its sixth season.  Carolina has had impressive runs each season, getting out of the first round in each year but 2020—remember that weird playoff bubble season the sweep of the Rangers was a “qualifying round.”  Despite five first round series wins, though, they’ve never had a 3-0 lead in any of them.  They went down 0-2 to the Caps in ‘19, the Predators came back to tie it at 2-2 in ‘21, Same with the Bruins in ‘22, and last year the Islanders throttled the Canes in Game 3.  &lt;/p&gt;
  229. &lt;p id="P1D8Yw"&gt;So yes, you’ve noticed a trend that since 2021, the Hurricanes had protected home ice and won the first two games, then allowed the opposition to win Game Three, stretching out the series.  Longer series expose more players to injury, and increases the liklihood that a player that has been through the grind of an 82 game season gets worn out as the marathon of the playoffs roll on. &lt;/p&gt;
  230. &lt;p id="TzI0P1"&gt;Thus on Thursday night, it was easy to expect the same thing to happen.  The Islanders not only knew how nearly impossible it is to come back from 3-0 down, they had to get pain of their Game Two collapse out of their system.  You go in thinking, “for once, survive their push and see if you can get that 3-0 lead.” &lt;/p&gt;
  231. &lt;p id="HmK09N"&gt;Brent Burns and Dmitry Orlov made it known pretty quickly that this squad was not about to waste the effort they put up in front of the Caniacs.  They quickly put the Isles in a 2-0 hole before fans were really settled at UBS Arena.  The Canes would go on to win, and had the cherry on top of forcing Islanders coach Patrick Roy to pull his Ferrari Ilya Sorokin.  The Canes didn’t get any more goals on the Isles’ Cadillac, Semyon Varlamov, but they just played a crushing defensive style in the third with the help of spectacular saves by Frederick Andersen to pull out the win. &lt;/p&gt;
  232. &lt;p id="XYIVSQ"&gt;So here we are with the Canes now enjoying a 3-0 lead in the first round for the first time during this run.  In fact, it’s the first time they’ve had a 3-0 lead in a first round playoff since moving to Raleigh, and the situations is ripe for a sweep.  The Islanders had two days to try and recover from their wasted lead on Tuesday, but now they barely have 36 hours before they have to try again.  Roy said on Friday that Varmolov will be back between the pipes, as he acted as a steadying hand for the team after Sorokin let in a Sebastian Aho goal from nearly the blue line.  The Islanders are clearly hoping he’s cleared his head out from the ridiculously stupid tripping penalty he committed during Game Two which led to the Canes’ first goal and started their comeback.  &lt;/p&gt;
  233. &lt;p id="4FX2wt"&gt;Rod Brind’Amour wouldn’t commit to a goalie during his Friday availability. When you see what Andersen pulled off, it’s tough to tell him he needs to sit.  However, after not playing two games in row during his come back in the regular season, you wonder if asking him to go into a fourth game on shorter rest is pushing your luck.  Brind’Amour acknowledged as much, basically saying a reason he would start Pyotr Kochetkov over Andersen would be to prevent wear and tear on the Dane.  It’s not like Kochetkov would be much of a step down, either.  His play was a primary reason the Canes were able to start surging prior to Andersen’s return, and the last time he was in Long Island the Canes easily won 4-1.  In fact, PK held a shutout into the third period, and by that point the Canes were firmly in control. &lt;/p&gt;
  234. &lt;p id="uKZzGW"&gt;You could also argue that the Islanders have gotten to the point to where they are so concerned with how to beat Andersen—and likely practiced as much on Friday—that putting out Kochetkov would be the final twist for them.  It also would allow Freddie some extended rest no matter the result.  Should the Islanders extend the series, Game Five isn’t until Tuesday, and if the Canes finish the job the Semifinals are not going to start until all of the other series are closer to done.  &lt;/p&gt;
  235. &lt;p id="iI4C3H"&gt;With the earlier start we should know by late morning who will grab the start for Carolina.  Also don’t expect any lineup changes for either squad as the Isles really don’t have much else they can swap out, and Brind’Amour isn’t going to mess with a lineup that’s won three straight.  He did let some bad news slip before Game Three in that Jesper Fast’s injury was more severe than we all thought, to the point he’s likely out for the remainder of the playoffs.  They haven’t missed him so far, but it does reduce the margin of error.  There’s also no reason to replace Tony D’Angelo for this game as he was perfectly cromulent in his first playoff game beside Brady Skeji.  &lt;/p&gt;
  236. &lt;p id="B3tipo"&gt;Once again the Canes will kick off the Saturday playoff action.  If you aren’t going to be on the Island to see it live, here’s how you can catch the action:&lt;/p&gt;

  267.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  268.  
  269.  &lt;p&gt;The Great Dane was the key to victory Thursday night. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="5ctXFv"&gt;Through the first three games of the series, the &lt;a href="https://www.canescountry.com"&gt;Carolina Hurricanes&lt;/a&gt; have not put together 60 minutes of their game. &lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;p id="bLVJQS"&gt;But the Canes have found ways to win. &lt;/p&gt;
  271. &lt;p id="xupnhw"&gt;And a big part of this has been the play of goaltender Frederik Andersen. And on Thursday night, Andersen was the difference in the game. &lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;p id="NVaaLc"&gt;New York came out with the desperation expected from a team in a must-win situation. Before the end of the first period, Andersen had faced more shots than the entirety of Game 2. &lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;p id="uvMPBf"&gt;The Islanders held the statistical advantage up and down the sheet during Game 3. New York were peppering Carolina with shots. &lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;p id="RcE0GN"&gt;The shot heat map below shows New York had a lot of shots from dangerous locations: &lt;/p&gt;
  275. &lt;div id="50bRwU"&gt;
  276. &lt;style&gt;.embed-hm { position: relative; padding-bottom: 66%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 815px; } .embed-hm iframe, .embed-hm object, .embed-hm embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }&lt;/style&gt;
  277. &lt;div class="embed-hm"&gt;
  278. &lt;iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" src="https://embed.naturalstattrick.com/hm.php?season=20232024&amp;amp;game=30143"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  279. &lt;/div&gt;
  280. &lt;/div&gt;
  281. &lt;p id="ync8n4"&gt;Andersen, especially in the third period, kept the Canes in the game. New York had at least three high-chance scoring opportunities during the third period. &lt;/p&gt;
  282. &lt;div id="244D15"&gt;
  283. &lt;style&gt;.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 60%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 751px; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }&lt;/style&gt;
  284. &lt;div class="embed-container"&gt;
  285. &lt;iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" src="https://embed.naturalstattrick.com/gameflow.php?season=20232024&amp;amp;game=30143"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;
  286. &lt;/div&gt;
  287. &lt;/div&gt;
  288. &lt;p id="1Ixwjq"&gt;The Islanders had seven high-danger scoring chances, and Andersen stopped five. The Carolina defense must improve to reduce these high-danger chances, but Canes fans should be encouraged that Andersen stopped all medium and low-danger shots. Freddie is taking care of the shots expected of a goalie during the playoffs. &lt;/p&gt;
  289. &lt;p id="Guv1Gh"&gt;Head coach Rod Brind’Amour recognized that the Hurricanes did not perform as they needed in the third and gave the credit to Andersen for being the primary factor in turning a 3-2 lead into a 3-2 victory: &lt;/p&gt;
  290. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="urzcGq"&gt;The first two periods were okay. Fine. We knew it was coming. They were going to give everything they had and that’s exactly what happened. Freddie came up with a couple of huge saves and that’s the difference in the game.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  291. &lt;p id="XnR517"&gt;Jordan Martinook had some of the best postgame comments about Andersen’s performance: &lt;/p&gt;
  292. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="CD7zLA"&gt;I don’t get impressed by him anymore because he does it every night. I’ve said it before to other guys, I don’t think I’ve seen a goalie as calm as he is in the net. We could be under siege and he is making save after save, but it just doesn’t look like he’s ever really breathing heavy. He probably is; he’s a big boy, but his demeanor in the net helps us, too. When he’s sitting back, not moving much, making saves, you look back there and you’re like, “Okay, our guy is back there, he’s doing his thing, now let’s pick it up a little bit and help him out.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  293. &lt;p id="iCsnXt"&gt;If New York was a desperate team on Thursday night, expect even more from the Islanders on Saturday afternoon. Let’s see what Andersen has in store for them. &lt;/p&gt;
  294. &lt;p id="Kmi0eG"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  295. &lt;p id="pNXGrM"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  314.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  315.  
  316.  &lt;p&gt;The Hurricanes made a statement in Elmont to take a 3-0 first round series lead over the Islanders.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="u7kWBe"&gt;It was a different venue, but the same result for the &lt;a href="https://www.canescountry.com"&gt;Carolina Hurricanes&lt;/a&gt; against the &lt;a href="https://www.lighthousehockey.com"&gt;New York Islanders&lt;/a&gt; on Thursday night in Elmont.&lt;/p&gt;
  317. &lt;p id="gchh48"&gt;When a series shifts locations for Game 3, there’s always an expectation of a new level of intensity coming for the home team, especially when they’re desperate and down in the series.&lt;/p&gt;
  318. &lt;p id="BnhRFI"&gt;The Islanders didn’t muster a storm for the Hurricanes to weather, as the two teams traded low danger threats for a few minutes.&lt;/p&gt;
  319. &lt;p id="iVLub8"&gt;The Carolina line of Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Martin Necas, and Teuvo Teravainen came over the boards about four minutes in and immediately hemmed the Islanders into the zone with some clever passing and a good cycle game.&lt;/p&gt;
  320. &lt;p id="m66KNJ"&gt;The Canes made it matter at the tail end of that shift when Brent Burns wired a shot past Ilya Sorokin, who was screened by Teravainen, to make it 1-0 for the Canes.&lt;/p&gt;
  321. &lt;p id="TpiV03"&gt;The early goal woke the Islanders up a bit, as the hosts got a good shift from their third line in response, but to no avail.&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;p id="b4WGLw"&gt;Frederik Andersen came up with a pair of major saves to preserve the lead, as he denied a rip from Mathew Barzal with the shoulder before lunging to grab the rebound opportunity from Noah Dobson with the glove. &lt;/p&gt;
  323. &lt;p id="1ZxC7r"&gt;That save proved to be a springboard to more for the Canes, as Andrei Svechnikov executed a flawless zone entry before peeling to the half wall and hitting a trailing Dmitry Orlov, who waited out his countryman Sorokin with a writer to the short side to make it 2-0 heading into the break.&lt;/p&gt;
  324. &lt;p id="Z8Wido"&gt;The Islanders brought a better game with them out of the locker room for the second, and they made the Hurricanes pay for a mistake when Pierre Engvall took advantage of some open space to beat Andersen and get his team on the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  325. &lt;p id="vScFpU"&gt;Carolina answered back when Sebastian Aho wired a wrister past Ilya Sorokin, who looked lost for most of the night and was yanked in favor of Game 1 and 2 starter Semyon Varlamov. &lt;/p&gt;
  326. &lt;p id="b9MQS8"&gt;The shift to Varlamov got the Isles going even more, and they broke through late in the second when captain Anders Lee scored to get New York within a goal heading into the third. &lt;/p&gt;
  327. &lt;p id="qRdQte"&gt;The Hurricanes did an excellent job of protecting the lead in the third period, largely preventing the Islanders from generating dangerous attacks.&lt;/p&gt;
  328. &lt;p id="BVTsCG"&gt;The Isles found more success as their desperation level went up, and a big glove save by Andersen from the seat of his pants kept the Hurricanes ahead.&lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;p id="AjgvfK"&gt;New York pulled Varlamov with 1:57 remaining in the third, but they didn’t get a shot on goal, as the Hurricanes were able to clear it several times to hang on for the win.&lt;/p&gt;
