You called it.

Just saw that Ullmark got a misconduct - off the top of my head I don't remember seeing a goalie get tossed for a fight with anyone let alone with a non-goalie. As to Isles, I had high hopes this morning that we'd make this a series - now I just hope we can get the series back home. Credit to the Canes for playing more disciplined and better in general. At the same time there have been some head-scratching calls and non-calls by the refs - always more infuriating when you're losing.

Bolded is exactly how I feel - and to be clear, my hope is that Megill can be better than a #4, just getting frustrated seeing starters having problems going deeper than 5. Hell, I expect my #5 to go 5 or more.

Who the heck is this guy Brigham? Never heard of him, nice two innings so far.

I see Peterson and Megill both topping out as a #4 or #5 innings eater. They'll show flashes, but as you said just enough to let you down. Problem is Carrasco is trending towards the same. When we got Carrasco I thought he was a solid #3, maybe a #2 in a good year. Good to hear about Uceta, I didn't have the game on yesterday and missed that. Between the loss of Diaz and Verlander and lack of innings from the starters that bullpen is under a lot of duress. On the plus side we have an opportunity to go 8-2 on this West Coast swing!

Or eat them before they go stale.

@ExWNYer @Gugny @Another Fan Did we finally reverse the curse of letting guys go before they break out? I'm thinking of Murph and Justin Turner vs. Nimmo. Too early to tell, but Nimmo looks possessed and his comments about not playing in the WBC cuz he's focused on the Mets resonate. On the downside, I have no idea how this bullpen doesn't get burned out. It may not be deep enough if our $80 mill worth of starters can't pitch every 5 days - AND pitch into the 7th on occasion.

Yeesh - looked like my Isles were headed for another loss, instead they set a record for quickest 4 goals in Stanley Cup playoff history.

@ExiledInIllinois File this one under ambiguous. For the record I always thought Bow Wow's "I Want Candy" was referring to men in general. On the other hand I think Tuesday refers to a woman not the day of the week.

Not too many layups 22 pages in, I feel shame that I never thought of Layla.

Just saw a crazy stat: Isles have played 23 straight playoff games without having a lead after the first period. That's gotta include at least one or two series wins.
