NHL 2023-2024 Out of Town: Stanley Cup Playoffs II

[The Un4casted Storm]

So when the Panthers wrap this up on Saturday, who's getting the Conn Smythe?

Going into this series I'd have given it to Barkov without even thinking twice but Bobrovsky has been as close to unbeatable as you can get this series. Have to think he'll be getting some votes.

Barkov deserves it but I could see Bob getting it

Barkov, Forsling or Bob. All been excellent, all deserving. Splitting hairs as to which one ultimately gets the nod.

 

[McGarnagle]

At least Thornton and Campbell are going to get another ring

 

[KrazyLegs]

Oilers play so damn loose and sloppy.

 

[BB79]

the longer these playoffs go, the more it feels like Boston was the second best in the nhl

The gap, as we saw, is gigantic

Last year the Bruins were the only eastern team to beat Florida more than once in the playoffs

This year, the only team to beat them twice along with NYR. Edmonton looks to be getting swept, so that will likely include the final. I'm starting to sound like a Leafs fan

 

[Bruinaura]

It was 4-1?

Edmonton has dug themselves quite a hole

Edmonton has dug themselves quite a hole

If anyone can dig themselves out of this hole Edmonton can’t.

Only question I have left is whether it goes 4 or 5

Edm. is loose in its own end and the Panthers know how to capitalize. Not a particularly fun series to watch but Fla. is focused on playing its structured game until they raise the Cup

the Conn Smythe goes to Bob

So will the Florida Panthers have an Airboat Parade in the Everglades?

They might need one regardless with all the rain they just got

I will be happy for them, along with E-Rod.

But....but....but....McDavid! Draisaitl! Power play!!

Oh wait.... where have they been this series....

Sweep them!!

McDavid has 3 apples in 3 games which is still something, even if it's below his usual very high standards. The rest have been invisible. But it was the same with Tampa, us and the Rags - the Panthers are excellent at shutting down the opposing team's stars while their top guys still find the space and opportunities to rack up the points. Been incredibly good in that regard, and very consistent.

 

[BlackFrancis]

Dallas really f***ed up. They choked in the same way the bruins did last year.

The Stars had 4 key players get injured in the final month of the season?

Monster Truck VS. MG Midget... Panthers crushing them into dust.

I hope so...

Ricochet!

Threw one in front!

For the Final series with the greatest distance between locations, only one trip may be necessary.

I'm disappointed, as I wanted to watch at least a couple more games.

Edmonton's PP faltering is one factor. They actually look OK, and get some solid looks. But either Bobrovsky makes a stellar save, the shot gets blocked, or misses the net.

It's not quite a role reversal of the ECF, but similar. Florida more or less dominated the Rangers, but Shesterkin made it a series.

Edmonton isn't dominating Florida, but they are out-shooting them and spending considerably more time in the offensive zone; but Bobrovsky is the difference, and he did steal Game One.

Florida's lack of depth on D finally caught up to them last year, and it's the same with Edmonton this year.

Some production notes: PK Subban's analysis has gotten stronger, especially his breakdown of Edmonton's defensive lapses. Fleetwood Mac is much more suitable bumper music than Maroon 5. Emily Kaplan's new hair color looks great.

Get the alligator BBQ ready!

Crazy that the Bs gave FLA the toughest series.
