2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Ryan?
Backlund
Bennett?
Janks

Down the middle? No Bueno.

We have this fella named Elias Lindholm who's better at center than Monahan is. That trade would still go down unimpeded.


Gaudreau-Lindholm-Stone

Rest of the roster is identical.

Not only do we not know if Lindholm will perform as well as a full time C, we’ve shuffled our top line RW over just to add different one. Still an awful idea.

I feel like Smith always plays out of his mind when we go "Good news, it's Smith in net".

Nah man, you should have seen the San Jose fans all before we clinched the pacific. They were going on constantly about how while Jones struggles this year, he is beast in playoffs and smith will single-handedly cost us every playoff game. And yet, his career numbers in the playoffs are insanely good.

Upgraded both positions. Great idea.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Upgraded both positions. Great idea.

Lindholm isn’t a better Center than Monahan until proven otherwise. Also Stone would cost us 9.5M and likely leave us unable to resign a guy like Tkachuk. Glad you aren’t the GM.

He's better in transition, defensively and he's good at faceoffs. The reasoning is that Stone is a better player than either of Lindholm or Monahan and that Monahan to Lindholm would be even or at least closer than Lindholm to Stone.


Lindholm plays center for Monahan half the time anyways I highly doubt he'd struggle playing between a top 5 LW and a top 5 RW.

Glad you aren't nor will ever be either since you're content with that underachiever crippling our top line

Please define what aspects of the center ice position make Monahan a better center at playing center than Lindholm.

And no, scoring goals does not make you a better center. Most of the best centers are pretty weak goal scorers.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Ugh. Our fan base is awful. Just awful

Kadri got a 5-game suspension

Kadri got a 5-game suspension

It looks good on him.

Kadri got a 5-game suspension

It’s the rest of the first round, aka 3

Twitter is wild right now. Toronto fans say the NHL is racist and then you have dirtbag Boston fans calling him a terrorist

What a time to be alive

Ovechkin just knocked out Svechnikov in a fight

More like his summer just started

I missed that, any chance you have the video of that?

Dayum. Ovi's second career fight as well I believe

 

[crackdown44]

I’ve got mixed feelings about it. The kid is only 19and gives up like 30-40 pounds to Ovi, but he also went looking for it

Yeah, I saw another video of it, and it looks like Ovi tried to turn him down at first

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Ovechkin just knocked out Svechnikov in a fight

It's more like Svechnikov commits suicide by Ovi. What the hell was the thinking?

 

[Mobiandi]

Well at least we're not quite Tampa

 

[flamesforcup]

Honestly Duchane is exactly what we need as a top line centre. If we lose round one/or Monahan keeps staying invisible i say trade him and give Duchane a big contract in the summer. Thoughts?

 

[Mobiandi]

It's over. The Jackets make history. They'll be talking about this series for years to come

 

[Corpus X]

TAMPA IS OUT!
