The Crazy Caniacs Go \u2018Tarps Off\u2019, and Momentum Shifts in Hurricanes Favor<\/p>\n

In classic \u2018Cardiac Canes\u2019 fashion, the Hurricanes saved the best for last.<\/p>\n

Going scoreless through two periods, time was running out for the Hurricanes to send an even series to Nevada. Then the video board asked fans to go \u2018tarps off for the boys\u2019, and the Caniacs did just that to rally for them.<\/p>\n

With less than 10 minutes left and a half-naked crowd, the Hurricanes scored twice to tie the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the best thing about them: they\u2019re crazy,\u201d Seth Jarvis<\/a> said<\/a> of the fans going shirtless in the third frame. \u201cIt\u2019s an amazing atmosphere to play in, and to have people like that \u2013 it\u2019s not warm in there. So, to take your tarps off and kind of get the crowd going and get the energy going, that\u2019s kind of what kick-started our whole little press there in the third.\u201d<\/p>\n

It Ain\u2019t the Stanley Cup Final Without Controversy<\/p>\n

However, as you would probably expect for a Stanley Cup Final, controversy quickly struck the game. A play was whistled dead just as the puck crossed the Hurricanes\u2019 goal line.<\/p>\n

A pile-up over Frederik Andersen<\/a>, Ivan Barbashev<\/a> poked at the goalie\u2019s glove, which prevented him from playing his position and was immediately called as goaltender interference \u2013 referee Jean Hebert signaling \u2018no goal\u2019 from his spot behind the net.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Vegas head coach John Tortorella challenged the goalie interference call, but it was not overturned and led to a massive turning point in the game, as the Hurricanes scored on the power play given for delay of game over the failed challenge.<\/p>\n

As with most goaltender interference challenges \u2013 especially in the playoffs \u2013 it leads to widespread controversy and debate. A still image showing the puck uncovered by Andersen has since gone viral across social media, causing an uproar. However, another still image<\/a> disputes it, showing a clear view of Barbashev\u2019s stick flexed at Andersen\u2019s glove amidst the chaos.<\/p>\n

After the Hurricanes took the go-ahead goal, the Golden Knights tied the game and forced overtime, but Jarvis played the hero of the night and tied the series with an overtime power play goal.<\/p>\n

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final proved to be perhaps the craziest game of the playoffs, and you can read all about it here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

In Game 2, Brayden McNabb took an 87.3 MPH slapshot from Nikolaj Ehlers to the face<\/a>. He immediately dropped to the ice, grabbing his face, and then sprung up on his skates, dashing down the tunnel. Later in the game, it was reported that he had left the building and had gone to the hospital for the injury.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tough blow for Vegas, losing a top-pairing defenseman and an important second-unit penalty killer in McNabb. Tortorella confirmed that he would travel with the team back to Vegas, but could not provide an update. How the Golden Knights\u2019 defensive lines will look for Game 3 remains a toss up.<\/p>\n

In the Crease<\/p>\n

Both Frederik Andersen and Carter Hart<\/a> have continued to play well for their teams, and as such, no changes in net are expected.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes Game Notes<\/p>\n

Jarvis became the youngest player (24 years, 123 days old) to score an overtime game-winning goal in the Stanley Cup Final since former San Jose Sharks<\/a> forward Joonas Donskoi<\/a> in 2016.<\/p>\n

All of the Hurricanes\u2019 Game 2s in this postseason campaign have ended with wins in overtime.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes are the first team to overcome a multi-goal deficit in the last 10 minutes of a third period in the Stanley Cup Final since the 1944 Montreal Canadiens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite scrutiny from lack of production and a third period shakeup of the top-line, Jarvis, Andrei Svechnikov, and Sebastian Aho all found themselves on the scoresheet in Thursday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Though the Stanley Cup Final will only be available via national broadcasts, local play-by-play announcer Mike Maniscalco and analyst Tripp Tracy will continue to call games on the Hurricanes\u2019 radio partner. 99.9 The Fan.<\/p>\n
