2023 NHL Playoffs Around the League

[13th Floor]

Devils are in a good spot. They've given up 21 goals in 4 games and didn't get swept.

 

[MJF]

They’re a tight knit group that’s built for the playoffs

Then once they make the playoffs the knit unravels like a cheap suit.

I’d like to see Florida wrap it up tonight.

 

[The Real JT]

I’d like to see Florida wrap it up tonight.

I couldn’t agree more though I have a confession to make.

If Florida wins tonight I won’t be as interested in watching the remainder of the playoffs as I usually am. Florida currently fits the definition of my 3rd favorite team though they’ll lose that designation with another win. You can figure out the rest.

Well, the parade planning is back on. Leafs avoided the sweep

Well, the parade planning is back on. Leafs avoided the sweep

And Lou has to reschedule the Dubas press conference

 

[CupHolders]

Unfortunate for Florida not closing this out. I do think that this particular series is a perfect storm for Toronto to be capable of coming back from 0-3.

Leafs-Cats game last night was surprisingly uninspiring. I didn’t see the urgency in play that I saw in both teams in the prior 3 games. Opportunity lost for the Cats. It was there for the taking.

Yeah....looked a lot about like we would have.

Yeah Florida looked asleep for most of the game. They did press late in the 3rd but really took the foot off the gas. I hope that long flight to Toronto got them angry enough to not want to come back.

Teravainen apparently will be good to go if CAR advances to the next round.

I guess they were able to re-attach the hand.

Pathetic showing from the Devils

 

[SRBisles]

The further the Canes go, the more excuses we'll hear from management to "run it back" for a third year.

Yeah, I’m a little tired about hearing how we “lost to the Canes better than the Devils did”. Gives me major “respect in the handshake line” energy. Let’s aim a little higher boys.

Will your opinion change if Carolina wins the cup?

 

[Osakahaus]

Can we stop complaining about the kraken now?

 

[BelovedIsles]

Dallas is the best team remaining, top-to-bottom, net out IMHO. I'm not sold on the Canes' talent, eventually it will catch up to them. They have great leadership, play a great system (best team at creating turnovers), and have oodles of poise that's gotten them this far.

 

[bstash19]

Did anyone see that Carolina fan holding up the sign that says “you can’t spell dynasty without stastny”?

What a dumb sign. I wouldn’t even accept that sign after 1 cup win. And now that just spell it out, stastny has 2 t’s so it doesn’t even make any sense.

Their fans are dumb.

 

[The Real JT]

2 more series wins for the Canes and we will have lost to the Cup champions. Well done Lou and Lane!

When have we heard that (or excuses) from management?

So Lou sucks and Lane sucks because Carolina beat the Devils? Got it.

Sounds about right.

Really? I missed the first but thought it was a well played game by both teams. Certainly don't think it was pathetic.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Interesting sidenote:
Despite their current success even without the likes of Svechnikov and Teravainen, Carolina has 9(!) picks in this summer's draft, including at least 1 pick in every round.

Wow, I didn't know teams could compete AND participate in the draft???

Who'da thunk it?

I had the Canes beating us in 5. We lost in 6. The Canes are a solid strong team and If they beat the Panthers they win the cup. They are a relentless team and right now they are running on all cylinders. Do they run out of gas? Maybe? but my opinion of them going in was they were one of the top 3 teams in the east.

Side note I had Tampa Bay going to the Conference Finals. So I hope Florida wins tonight and I can at least say I was right about a Florida team going far.

Another year of an all Southern Cup chase is great. The fans are passionate, and the teams are exciting to watch.

Dallas / Canes cup finals. Let those Canadians choke in misery.
