GDT: 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

Chariot is getting absolutely caved in. Ludicrous price to pay for that guy.

Also: Jeff Carter is clutch, man. Happy LA got rid of him

GMs just never learn their lesson, even the good ones

 

[Anaheim4ever]

NY Rangers tie it up on as Shorty by a Copp and assisted by Mr. Ed Rooney

 

[DucksFanDFW]

Pens looked like us in the 2nd period.

Yeah I called it out at the time and was absolutely ridiculed. He’s a 6-7 on a good team, not a top 4.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Pittsburgh's goal horn is great

 

[Leonardo87]

I’m staying far away from the Rangers forum tonight… so um what’s up guys?

 

[Mr Rogers]

Dallas and Calgary are very similar cities. very cool that they are facing off actually

They must have heard me complaining about boredom, because this has been a fun one tonight. Lots of quality chances for both top lines

I've always said Alberta is the Texas of Canada. Midwest and has an oil producing history.

Politically similar as well

 

[dracom]

I don't know why I thought Col/Nash would be a closer series. there goes my bracket

Early days, but Gorton looks like he cleaned up before the deadline. Toffoli looks awful as well for Calgary.

"Since 2017, out of all 350 players that have played at least 200 5v5 minutes in the playoffs, Johnny Gaudreau ranks 346th (!!) in 5v5 Points/60."

My friend who is a Flames fan sent me this stat so not sure it's accurate. Either way that's their biggest issue and always has been. You are never going to make a run if your best player is Gaudreau. 7 even strength points in 33 playoff games is not getting it done.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Yeah, I saw that too. In a way, it kind of disputes the narrative of him not showing up in the playoffs. If there are even fewer PPs, he’s just flat out not going to put up any points.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Being one of the league's least productive 5on5 players in the playoffs definitely does not dispute the narrative that he's unable to produce at playoff time.

Sure, on one hand the fewer power plays does help explain away some of the lack of production, obviously he'd put up a few more points with more PP time. However, the fact is that there are less calls in the playoffs, meaning that guys get away with more clutch & grab etc, and Gaudreau just can't seem to find or create the same time/space for himself in order to play his game and produce.

Edit: NVM I read that quote wrong, my bad. It’s in the playoffs not RS

 

[The Duck Knight]

I don’t disagree but guess I see it a little differently. Sure, he’s not a great playoff performer compared to other guys but I don’t think he gets much worse or anything, seeing that he struggles at ES during the season.

He led in the league in even strength points this year with 90. 2nd was McDavid with 78.

For his career he's at 434 ESP in 602 games. Now you contrast that with the 7 ESP in 33 playoff games and there is a sizable dropoff in his production rate.

Yeah, I read your quote wrong. Didn’t see it was talking postseason only.

He’s not great when things get tighter

 

[JabbaJabba]

I am going to laugh pretty hard if Calgary is eliminated in the first round.

[AngelDuck]

Good for our draft pick. Finish them, Canes

 

[bsu]

Svech is a handful, mean streak and has elite skill. Can we draft someone like that.

 

[Leonardo87]

Good for our draft pick. Finish them, Canes

It Boston is eliminated first does that improve the current draft position? Forgot how that works. Currently at #23 now.

 

[Static]

Carolina does not look impressive.
