GDT: Around The League: 2024 Playoffs Edition Round 2- “Oh, You Didn’t Know? You’re Ass Better Call SOMEBODY!!!!!”

[CantHaveTkachev]

why the f*** didn't the the Florida/Boston game start at 5PM? ESPN bump it for poker or something?

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Nurse is clueless defensively

 

[Gnome17]

Draisaitls back! Per Seravalli

Means he will atleast try this period, hopefully hes good to go.

edit: uuh wrong thread woopsie.

 

[Gnome17]

Worst performance since Knob..Insane.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I'd advise to stop watching the other series as you'll find every club has much much better goaltending than ours. The degree of difference being depressing, really.

If seeing actual goalies doesn't bother you than keep watching. But your common reaction will be "Skinner wouldn't make that stop"

We already knew this. Out dueled by an AHL goalie

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

And the coaching merry go round will continue.

Surprised this hasn’t been mentioned, but Keefe officially walked the plank this morning. No word on his assistants.

We are all on the main board having fun reading leaf fans comments

La, Edm, Stl, SJ, Sea, Ott, Buf, NJ, Tor, NYI have new HC from game 1 of regular season. That’s 10 with Columbus needing a new GM and likely a HC change there as well to get us to 11, so 1/3 of the league. 2 GM changes in Ott and Columbus.
So when do the other GMs who changed HC get some heat?

The night of the long knives has begun. Could be an “interesting “ summer in Trawna.

Treliving less than a year ago said Keefe was the best man for the job and extended him for two more years. Today he’s fired because he didn’t get the job done, two months before his extension kicks in.

Woody fired a year into his extension. Buffalo fired Granato before his extension kicked in IIRC.

If I’m a team owner I give the manager and President their walking papers as well.

You typically do not want a HC going into their final year. Either terminate them or extend them. But, to extend them only to terminate them following the season, just means that they should have done it last off-season. Bad assessment by management.

 

[bellagiobob]

Bold move, but I think it’s the right one. Andersen seems to always end up as the second best goalie when it matters most.

What does Shanahan actually do and how has he kept his job for so long? 10 years of running around in circles.

I think he is the biggest fraud in hockey right now collecting the largest pay check of them all.

87.5 minutes of hockey for Freddy. If he’s fatigued kind of have no choice. But lots of pressure on the kid to step up. NYR and Carolina is every other day to game 5. 2 day break before game 6.

 

[Gordy Elbows]

In pro hockey (at least), coaching extensions have come to mean severance package as well as “we like your work” in equal parts….gambles for sure.

Keefe architected his own firing by saying other teams set themselves up for the Leafs to beat themselves. That’s a comment from a guy who knows he just coached his last game for the franchise and a bit of a shot at upper execs for not getting smarter players to work with.

I mean, come on. He had a trash PK and wasn't bothering to play a top 3 in the entire NHL defensive forward on it

 

[Messrules11]

C’mon Rangers, I need a pick me up after last night’s shit show.

 

[oobga]

Canes finally have a playoff performer on their team after years of being regular season wonders.

Too bad that's still only 1 guy though

 

[Messrules11]

Lots of rough stuff from guys with no history of that in this series.

Looks at McLeod and Nuge

Kinda neat how Nuge has 1 fight every 3 years (2011, 2014, 2017, 2020, 2023).

Gotta wait until 2026 sorry.

And McLeod, I don't think that will ever happen. Ryan 2.0 is made of only the purest vanilla.

Yup, our guys won’t pay the price and sure as hell won’t initiate.
We’ll never win shit with gutless players
