What a classic veteran game by Staal tonight.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

On to fight another day

This series has added new twist and far from over.

All teams go through adversity, but it’s the Stanley cup winning teams that make it out. In games 6 we will see if the rangers have what it takes

Believe the commentary touched on it on ESPN, Rangers went over 20 minutes without a single shot on goal, pretty heavy suppression by the Canes there!

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.

Carolina's not gonna go away are they? This series is far from over. Carolina has come to play.

man… every time im hopeful of this team 😅 recoup with this extra day off that’s all i can ask for

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.

LA 🆚 San José was the last time that happened in 2014. Still remembered that series to this day. We might see this one for the first time in a decade. 👀

I dont think ive prayed harder for anything and im having my prayers answered

Rangers are the top 1 or 2 team atm, but I get the feeling Canes team spirit is too much to handle here.

Lol canes have always been trouble for original 6 teams

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.

Do you think the Rangers go to Quick in Game 6? I wonder if Igor is getting tired.

Why o why do I have to be a Ranger fan. This is torture!

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