GDT: 2022-23 NHL Playoffs

[Hivemind]

FWIW - Vegas has four players left from their expansion draft (Marchessault, Karlsson, Carrier, & McNabb) plus Reilly Smith and Shea Theodore (who were acquired in expansion draft side trades).

It's way past time for Dallas to leave behind the Minnesota emerald green. Yuck.

EDIT: Also that play in their own zone. Yuck

GMGM and Butch look close to the cup 20 years after the Jagr failure in DC.

 

[Calicaps]

Ottenger getting hung out to dry.

I guess Jamie Benn was the problem.

 

[twabby]

Jamie Benn isn’t going down without a fight

Jamie Benn isn’t going down without a fight

Maybe he can fall on Vegas players face again...

Come on, it's like sports' most prevalent phrase: "accidents win championships"

Sometimes you just gotta accident harder.

Dallas has zero pop from their blue line aside from Heiskanen. It’s crazy that Ryan Suter is so high in their lineup.

Go Meow Meows!

[Cush]

and both teams are from Florida / Miami

 

[HTFN]

Wow, 8 seed wins in the NBA are massively rare, I wasn't keeping up but that's a pretty major accomplishment

This might be the lowest rated NHL finals in recent history. Who's going to watch this outside of Florida and Nevada?

Hockey fans?

Hockey fans?

People with no lives?

Sorry for being a wise-a**, but you have to admit, this is not a very sexy match-up.

Sexy matchup based on what? Both teams play a very high paced game. To me the matchup is very good maybe not the markets that will draw huge numbers but the hockey will be good.

2 of the biggest travel markets in the USA with Vegas and Miami? I think sexy wont be a problem.

Did you watch any of the ECF or WCF finals?

If you're talking hockey markets, remember, both teams are composed of people from Canada, USA, and various euro countries.

Oh, it's also the Stanley Cup finals....people will watch. I think it will be a very competitive series.

LOL! Are you kidding? This series has the makings of a barn-burner. Looking forward to it.

Im half watching some games and rooting for Florida. I dont know, but that feels nice. They are forcing their will on the opponents, and then win games. Pretty good hockey imo.

Go Cats! Represent the Southeast Division!

This is the least amount of NHL playoffs I've watched since 2003 deployed. I'm all for the Panthers to win this. I also love watching folks eat crow on Tkachuk, well those I know outside of the forums. The best part is, we're 4 wins away from retiring this season.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It’s hard not to pull for Florida with Tkachuk leading the way (and Bob‘s reclamation), but Vegas’ roster isn’t unlikeable…..I just hope for 7 games and no blowout games…..may the best team win.


waaay too many lopsided games and series is my big complaint….
