2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Talk

[Roboturner913]

Just caught the end of Bruins/Jackets

at the risk of sounding like the Isles fans during our first round, keep firing ***holes. Beat each other half to death. Play some more overtimes. Please.

Definitely pulling for the Jackets though, we want that home ice. Dundon be like

 

[Roboturner913]

We’re going to have to play the Bruins. Ugh.

That ****ing team gets every ****ing bounce/break.

Last time we played them in the playoffs they got a big break. Aaron Wards broken face

Not super scared of that team. I think we would run circles around them. We basically did during the regular season, even though we went 1-2 against them.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

That makes total sense to me. In the very short time I have been watching Mrazek has been amazing. So I say give it a go with him.

Some board history: for years, we would beg management to make some moves. Pay for a goalie! Pay for a first line winger to play with Eric Staal! Pay for a decent defenseman! And because the owner was cheap, they never did. And the joke was always the same after every failed free agency or draft deadline: "We Like Our Group." (Which coach or GM first said that? Paul Maurice maybe? I don't even remember.)

Which is why it's so funny that, for the first time in a decade, I think We Actually Like Our Group.

On the other hand it would be really nice to see that dickhead Jack Edwards taken down a whole notch

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I'd really prefer the Jackets to win. Not because they'd be an easier matchup (I actually think they'd be worse for us), but because the Bruins are the only team remaining I don't want to see win the Cup.

Every other team, I wouldn't mind seeing them win (for various different reasons). If Boston wins, it'll be like "Oh, another Boston sports championship. How exciting..."

[SvechneJerk]

If the Sabres ever make the finals ever again Raleigh would probably be a top 5 market. A friend of mine had a great line when he said Buffalo is a great place to say you were originally from.

I’ve said that for years.

I would put another mortgage on my house to see the Canes play Game 7 in Whalers jerseys and Hamilton score the OT winner.

This. After all the exciting shit that's happened in these playoffs, if it ends with a Boston win it's going to be so f***ing dumb.

After which we would immediately retire Hamilton's jersey.

Then Edwards would bitch that we disrespected John McKenzie by retiring #19 in honor of Dougie Hamilton.

That was so satisfying. They kept gooning it up and we kept scoring goals. I think Gleason must've trolled every single player on the ice. Easily his finest moment as a Hurricane IMO

 

[Brock Anton]

Hertl and Couture are carrying the Sharks right now.

 

[tarheelhockey]

If we end up playing Boston, before Game 1 we should raise a “Bergeron 37” banner and then immediately send Hamilton out there wearing #37.

The thing I like most about Dougie is that he seems like he would totally be down for that.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

And Svech would wear the retired #19 of Hamilton, I suppose?

WITN viewer is angry...

 

[tarheelhockey]

Retired specifically as Dougie Hamilton, not anybody else.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Whoever the Canes play, they have to stay out of the penalty box. Both CLB and BOS are converting at close to 30% in the playoffs.

Through 12 games, Boston has 21 5v5 goals and 10 5v4 goals. Through 9 games, CLB has 15 5v5 goals and 8 5v4 goals.

With 11 games played, Carolina has 26 5v5 goals and 4 (LOL) 5v4 goals. If the Canes get into a special teams contest, they will have a hard time beating either of these teams, particularly with the PK being only 75% in the playoffs and TVR missing from the line-up.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Then Edwards would ***** that we disrespected John McKenzie by retiring #19 in honor of Dougie Hamilton.

MY EUROPEAN REAR END CARES A LITTLE ABOUT JOHN MCKENZIE.

Hertl and Couture are carrying the Sharks right now.

HERTL IS AWESOME.

On a general note, I’d be probably the least sour person here if Bruins won, but that’s just my patriotism kicking in because of Krejčí and Pastrňák.

In West I cheer for Sharks. Because Hertl and they never won. Not caring about Thornton in either a negative or a positive way.

ON A VENGEFUL NOTE, LET’S FLOOD THE TD GARDEN WITH TEARS, PISS AND OTHER BODILY FLUIDS OF BRUINS FANS IF THE TIME COMES.

 

[Borsig]

Boston might be the only team I truly hate in the NHL.

Anyone who cheers for Marchand is trash, and any team that will have him , is trash. Slewfoot headhsot piece of shit who needs to be handled. Take that how you will.

I'm not sure who we match up better against, but I don't want to play Boston, because I want them to have zero chance of advancing as long as that human trash is on their team. I know that if our PP doesn't lean to score, he and his teammates will take liberties and be open to penalties. Their PP is good, and that team will absolutely to cheap dirty shit to try and provoke a response. Trash team , trash players, and trash play. Not looking forward to that series and the dirty play it would bring.

 

[BB88]

We’re going to have to play the Bruins. Ugh.

That ****ing team gets every ****ing bounce/break.

How so?
Every close goal call has gone against them this post season, including free gift goal on game 4 to make it 2-1.

I think Boston- Carolina E finals would be awesome.

 

[HisIceness]

WITN viewer is angry...

Before I clicked on that I figured it was going to be someone upset that the Canes are taking away the attention of High School Baseball or something along those lines.

 

[WreckingCrew]

will never forget this game

All I get from this vid is that clearly our PP sucked (seriously, don't know how many PPG we got but there was at least 4 with no goals including a 2 min 2 nan advantage)

Also, I remember Gleason epically trolling that whole team...get them all worked up for a fight and just stand there stone-faced!!!

Oh, and the announcers were idiots - "every Boston contact is a penalty"...well yea when you're making goon hits from behind and to the face and try starting fights. Of course the penalties were one-sided, they were trying to goon it up and the refs got tired of it and were actually maintaining control of the game (unlike now where they let it sometimes get dangerously out of hand)

 

[BladeRunner66]

Isn't it awesome that teams still battling to get over 2nd round are basically destroying each others while Jerks rest?

It sure seems stars are getting aligned.

I can Phil it for Caroline.
