GDT: 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs

Glad the Rangers advanced. Domi and D'Angelo can suck it.

That said, Tampa is a different beast. I just hope New York can put up a fight. Looking forward to the goalie battle.

The Binnington interview about the Kadri water bottle incident screams coward and a tool to me. In short he saw Kadri laughing and smiling during the interview (which obviously was directed more at the question and elation of winning a critical game), so he found throwing an empty water bottle a "God-given opportunity" (actual quote) to send Kadri a message to remind him what he went through.

Independent of what you think of Kadri, he should never have to deal with the aftermath of what he's been dealing with. Binnington is a loser.

By definition, sure. But I don't see why throwing an empty water bottle in the vicinity of a guy with a questionable reputation would scream coward, tool, or loser. It's not like he accidently on purpose ran Kadri and caused him to be out of the series.

Other than the online nonsense, Kadri gets no sympathy from me and I'm not sure why he would from anyone else. If anyone would be described as a coward, tool, or loser between these two it should be Kadri.

The act in itself isn't loserish, the interview and words specifically chosen were (not to mention the stick swipe to his face as well earlier). And as far as that specific play is concerned, I see no fault for going for a loose puck, where a blindsided defenseman tries to knock you off of it, forcing contact with your own goalie. Kadri's history is irrelevant in this situation though he has nearly ran out of excuses for suspensions on blind sided hits.

If you're going to settle the beef on him, take it out like Justin Faulk did and actually do it.

Binnington does sore loser shit all the time. To be honest I am surprised he hasn't been punched on yet for the shit he pulls when they are losing or he's mad.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

If the first 5.5 minutes of this game are what’s to come, this series is gonna be fantastic. Pace is ridiculous, elite transition play on both ends

Manson just pinched badly and evander Kane scored on the ensuing breakaway.

I think NYR/CAR series proves you can't run a hockey team on analytics alone. This is the team where their whole front office has swallowed hook line and sinker the idea that you can run a hockey team like a 3rd rate baseball team out of milwaukee or oakland.
And why giving 6mil to a guy on offer sheet whose ceiling is maybe 2nd line material just because he has sexy analytics while dumping out your goalies wholesale every offseason like your local greasy used car salesman trying to move inventory the night before xmas is not a good idea.

If Freddy was healthy Carolina probably wins that series.

I've said this forever but Nurse is one of the most overrated defensemen in the NHL. He's literally a better version of Sbisa.... hockey IQ is putrid.

 

[bsu]

Yikes Manson.... absolute yikes.

 

[Static]

Manson is having a period from hell.

 

[ohcomeonref]

If Edmonton wins this first game they'll win the series I think.

That's very very offsides, lol.

You sure about that?

 

[ohcomeonref]

You sure about that?

I have eyes, literally anyone could see how offsides that was. What a baffling call.

 

[bsu]

That was a good goal. He doesn't touch the puck once it enters the zone until teammate touches the line. Makar is still behind the blueline and doesn't touch it again in the zone until it's cleared.



Makar either got really lucky or he is way too good and way too smart.

 

[Static]

Yep, makar wasn't touching the puck. Crazy close call, but the correct one.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

I don't know if I buy that really. NYR held the Canes to 2 or fewer goals in 6 of the 7 games. That's not a goaltending issue.

 

[DigiDuck]

Makar either got really lucky or he is way too good and way too smart.

When you’re as good as he is, you make your own luck.

 

[All Mighty]

Mike Smith has been terrible in game 1 of every series.

 

[Duck Off]

Yeah… there’s going to be a bidding war for Gibson in a few weeks

 

[bsu]

Manson again.... lol yikes.

 

[Static]

That's true, probably recency bias from game 7

Manson might get benched for game 2. Three goals he's just been beaten on.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

This series is single handedly going to raise Gibson value by a 1st lol

Manson again.... lol yikes.

Manson and nurse are ass

 

[70sSanO]

This series is really going to make Tampa and New York pull out all the stops.

Whoever wins the East wil at least have an NHL goalie in. net.
