Losing Game 1 of a playoff series is nothing new to the Carolina Hurricanes. Losing their two power forwards is. The Canes found themselves down two wingers last night when both Tuomo Ruutu and Erik Cole were injured on leg-to-leg hits. Their status should be updated today.
With two days off until Thursday's Game 2, Carolina can look back to last night's game and analyze their mistakes and successes and plan adjustments. The extra day off will give Ruutu, Cole and Pens d-man Sergei Gonchar a chance to rest up.

So I wonder if one of our guys stuck out his knee to hit one of their guys what the level of outrage would be….
I don’t buy in to conspiracy theories….. but it’s clear to see that EVERYONE knows that a rematch between Detroit would be great for the leagues TV ratings….. Which is why our guys don’t get any of the calls…..

I’m not trying to say it was a poorly called game…. I thought the officials were fair in their non-calling on both sides….
it just pisses me off that people can intentionally injure our guys and get away with it….

Hopefully all will work out. I didn’t think the officiating was really that bad last night either. Definitely not conspiracy worthy.
If Cole/Ruutu are healthy for the next game, even the most upset of the Caniacs will surely move on.

I’m tired of the Penguins play, myself. Seven games of slashes from Hal Gill and crosschecks to Varlamov’s throat did that to me. But hopefully, the Canes can beat the odds and the refs – I’ll admit I’m still in some level of shock you guys took the Bruins.
I'm so sick and tired of the refs explaining the calls like this is the NFL.

come on man… if your a Caps fan then I am sure you saw us play a bit during the regular season, or kept up with us to some extent?! Where you really THAT suprised?

No, not that surprised. No offense, but to be honest I always thought the Caps were lowering their play against the SE Division foes. I’m glad to be finding out that probably wasn’t the case.

Throat, side of the head, you still don’t crosscheck a goalie.

I’m tired of hearing about intentional injuries, it’s a fast game played on ice, players will run into other players, watch the replay he didn’t do anything that remotely resembles an intentional move, as for Eaton there shouldn’t even be talk about that it’s CLEARLY not a dirty hit. Get over yourself and your conspiracy theory.

Please don’t tell fans what they need to do here. (like "get over yourself") There are few cut and dry answers regarding this, which leads to speculation and none of us know the entire truth behind intention of the hits, including you. How “clean” they are is open to interpretation and usually is dependent upon what color jersey you are wearing. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Finally, if you are not pleased with the discussion here, there are alternatives.

You were probably one of the same people crying when Ovenchicken hit your guy in the knee….
Blow off!!!!
It is a fast moving game….. which is why the players need to be MORE RESPONSIBLE…. you can’t just take out a guys knees and say “oh…. well… it’s a fast game… whatever… that’s hockey….”
And the second LaRose goal should have counted too…. unless your guys are all 90-pounds soaking wet… they BOTH went down easily if you ask me…..

from the Pen’s playbook.
What’s good for the goose…..

I’m not even sure if Cole touched him looked like they jumped backwards in their own goal. That one made me mad when I saw the replay because where Rosie shot that it would"ve been a goal even if MAF would’nt of been touched.
it was like…. Cole brushed their dude…. and then their dude went all Greg Louganis and hit their goaltender who went all Wendy Williams in order to get the goal disallowed (and Cole the penalty too…?? WTF??)

take it easy man…it’s a long series, you never know what’s gonna happen. You might just find yourself crying about some hit on one of your boys. And before you hit me with some hick joke, I’m from Butler.
Why would i make a hick joke? but Butler is… well, you know what butler is i don’t have to say it. I can pretty much hard hits on Orpik all series, fine he broke coles neck he’s gonna get his…you don’t have Ovechkin so i don’t have to worry about someone chasing down Malkin, and Crosby, well he’s wearing a stop sign you know so you can’t hit him.
