Plus, a major trade request elsewhere in the league, so lots to talk about. Glad to be back in the Red Light 🚨 chair for this one.Carolina ties final in bananas Game 2“The rest of it was just a ride, man. What a wild ride.”You don’t often see the Carolina Hurricanes’ stoic captain get emotional, regardless of the circumstance, but even Jordan Staal — quoted above — was caught up in the moment after a remarkable comeback to win Game 2 over the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime.Down almost the whole night after conceding two early goals to Brett Howden, the Hurricanes started their pushback with less than 10 minutes left in regulation with their first goal of the game off a nice individual effort from Logan Stankoven.There were then three more goals in a frantic flurry, as Carolina went from down 2-0 to up 3-2 (!) in just five minutes, partly thanks to a late power play — where Staal scored — after Vegas coach John Tortorella whiffed on a goalie interference no-goal challenge.That led to the “wild ride” finish Staal mentioned, with Golden Knights veteran Mark Stone tying the game with 1:21 to play before Carolina’s Seth Jarvis won it on another power play only 3:56 into OT.In summary: With all the lead changes and drama, this series is only two games in, but it’s already been incredible. And now we head to Vegas for Game 3 on Saturday, wondering what we’ll get next.The Athletic had a formidable army of writerly talent in Raleigh for this one. Let’s start with their key takeaways from Game 2, as compiled by our team.• Chris Johnston examines the game’s biggest turning point and says that Tortorella has no regrets after the Golden Knights’ failed no-goal challenge. (I understand why he did it, but these plays are the type that rarely get overturned.)• Michael Russo explains how Stankoven stepped up big when the Canes needed a hero most. He’s had a massive postseason for them, with 10 goals in 15 games to sit behind only Howden.• Jesse Granger breaks down the anatomy of a third-period collapse and how Game 2 uncharacteristically got away from Vegas.• And Pierre LeBrun wrote about the battle-tested Hurricanes’ ability to dig deep and get back in this game, when it was looking over. This really does seem like a different Carolina team this time around.
