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

[badbrewin]

Going to be funny if Florida holds on. McDavid and Draisaitl are going to light Bob up

Unfortunately, the Panthers will mop the floor with the Oilers...Panthers are just built for the playoffs

 

[Widdlez]

the rangers are just Toronto with a goalie

Completely unable to generate greasy goals in the playoffs.

Florida went thought vasi sway and Igor without much trouble, they are going to eat skinner alive if it’s Edmonton.

 

[bobbyorr04]

Rangers playing afraid.

I thought that was just a Bruins thing

..but the Rangers looked just as bad, if not worse than the B's tonight

And, like an actual number one defenseman.

It's like watching the same shit.

 

[elMatador]

Tarasenko might have just scored a Stanley Cup assurance goal.
If Edmonton makes it to the finals their goaltending has no chance against the Panthers.
Dallas looks like they are mentally checked out.

Well yeah, but playing noticeably hobbled atm

Rangers tonight and Stars last night looked just like the Bruins. As stated, they look afraid to do anything with the puck other than bat it around the boards.

I think the Bruins gave a better effort in their do or die game

NHL is the only major sport that completely changes its rules for the playoffs. GM’s have to figure out how to build a roster that can qualify yet has enough physical and mental strength to endure four rounds. That can’t be easy.

Florida doesn’t seem to have any floaters, except possibly Tarasenko. They all seem to play hard every shift.

 

[TD Charlie]

Tampa Bay looked pedestrian at best.

Boston had but the shortest flashes of dominance.

presidents trophy NY goes out quietly, seemingly without much fight.

At what point does everyone accept that Florida is just really f***ing good?

It takes a team of pricks with a bit of skill.

I don’t think anybody feels Florida isn’t really good. They are an excellent team with great conditioning and commitment to their style of play. Opponents need to match and exceed the intensity level of Florida to beat them.

 

[BB79]

Blah, f***in hate Florida. As much as I like Edmonton I think I'm done with hockey until October at this point.

Let's go Celtics!

Tarasenko didn't float. They all finish their checks.

Yes, he played well tonight.

 

[Clode]

Florida is just a hell of a team

 

[Babajingo]

[RiverbottomChuck]

Has a panther player broken their stick at all the whole playoffs? One thing I noticed.

 

[DKH]

Rangers looked worse then Bruins ever did

The Bruins went at them the Rangers are just flat out intimidated

Such a pathetic performance

 

[Mione134]

I can't believe the Rags folded.

We put up a better fight surprisingly.

Dallas, I beg you. Please beat Edmonton

 

[McGarnagle]

I hate Florida, but am jealous and want to be like them I want to be the bad guys, throw the cheapshots, butter up the refs, bully other teams. Win by any means necessary.

 

[The don godfather]

Panthers are just too heavy. Impossible to contain.

F#&k the Panthers!

 

[Aeroforce]

The Panthers are deeper and healthier than last year; and if they play Edmonton have home ice.

I'm not going to rip on the Rangers' star players too much. Florida plays a relentless style that wears down their opponents both mentally and physically. Similar to Vancouver in 2011, as the series progressed, their minds just couldn't convince their bodies to engage in puck battles.

I don't see the Panthers being that chippy. They don't even dress Cousins and Lomberg, and the post-whistle shenanigans are way down.

And did anyone catch Kyle Okposo during the team picture? His cheeks will be hurting tomorrow from smiling so much. Have to feel good for a guy like that playing for a Cup after languishing so many years in Buffalo.
