GDT: 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Paul4587]

I keep reading how the Leafs didn’t choke this year, how the Lightning are just as good as the team that won the last two seasons and the Leafs should be proud they went 7.

The Bolts best players are playing injured, Hedman is tired as hell, Vasi had a down series and the Leafs were up 3-2 in the series and lost in 7 yet again. They absolutely choked. No killer instinct on that team.

 

[Terry Yake]

Man just watching that game 7, how the f*** did LA even make the playoffs? Their D core is easily one of the worst in the league and their forward core is average at best. Hope oilers get smoked next series

their vets stepped up along with solid goaltending from quick

the only reason they even came close to moving on is because the oilers are the oilers

Kings were bulldozed in that game. Oilers showed a killer instinct I didn't really think they had.

They just ran out of capacity They didn't put up much fight and I think it's because they sneaked into the playoffs while their level was not a playoff team.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

He may not be much of a player anymore but Joe Thornton might show something if the Panthers get to the Cup Finals, whatever he's got left maybe he's saving it for the finals because that is his last chance for a cup.
I do not think a team signs him next offseason unless its the Sharks on a retirement farewell tour.

This very well may the last of the 1970s births playing in the NHL as both Chara and Thornton could join Marleau in retiring.

 

[Tactical Quack]

This was the last year for a good amount of legends especially if Bergeron. Hangs it up also. My entire childhood is evaporating lol

Imagine getting shut out by Mike Smith in a game 7.

Also McDavid is so f***ing good. Give him a half decent supporting cast and he would carry his team to a cup.

He's right up there with Mario in the conversation for most physically talented player of all time.

The Oilers were clearly the better team, but the whole third period I couldn't help but feel like they were only Mike Smith away from blowing that one.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Kings played that third period like it was a game in the middle of February.

Thought they’d show more fight.

 

[Paul4587]

I will laugh so hard if the Rangers come back to win their series.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Petterson nearly ties on it on a great play in the slot

 

[Static]

Heinen does tie it up. 1-1 going into the second.

 

[Static]

Guentzel scores a controversial goal for a Pittsburgh 2-1 lead. Looked high.

Strome promptly answers, tie game.

 

[bsu]

I need the Rangers and Calgary to win for my bracket.

 

[Static]

Rodriguez with a hell of an effort shorthanded, puts the penguins up 3-2 going into the third.

 

[GunnarStahl]

I need the Rangers and Calgary to win for my bracket.

My bracket was so good until the Kings lost

 

[Mr Rogers]

Rangers have not played well at all. Lucky it’s close

Zbad ties it!

 

[Sean Garrity]

Rangers have not played well at all. Lucky it’s close

Zbad ties it!

I feel like this has been the case for the entirety of this series. Pittsburgh outplaying the Rangers but the Rags just hanging around.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

He’s been the best non-goaltender in this series for either team by a lot, but I’m rooting for Dallas simply so I can keep my anti-Johnny Gaudreau vendetta going

 

[dracom]

so with the pens out. the only former duck we traded this season still in the playoffs is Manson.

 

[Paul4587]

Can’t believe the Rangers won that series. Not that I’m complaining I would far rather they went through than Pittsburgh but man that was a choke job.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Hanging around...

 

[Static]

Rangers win in OT. Playoff OT winners that come on the powerplay feel kind of lame.

So, our pick can only be 23rd or 22nd. If Dallas wins tonight it will be 22nd for sure.

 

[Static]

Dallas is up 1-0 late in the first.

 

[Leonardo87]

Manson, last Ex-Duck standing.
