2023 NHL Playoffs Around the League

[Zeeker]

Just goes to show you once again that if you have a chance to make the playoffs you try to make it, even if it is as the 8th seed.

Sure, if you’re an underperforming team one season removed from 120 points and a President’s Trophy. Meanwhile, we haven’t won the division since the 1980s.

Sure the same team that traded Huberdeau and Weeger? The trade changed the entire complexion of the team. Florida isn’t winning a cup by running back the same team.

Dont look now but the Florida Panthers are officially the odds on favorites to win the Stanley Cup according to the sportsbooks. If anybody was to tell you they saw that coming one month ago at this time, they are full of it. Crazy. Just goes to show you once again that if you have a chance to make the playoffs you try to make it, even if it is as the 8th seed.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate, that team underperformed throughout the season. They are now playing up to their hockey cards. Yes making it is everything being able to preform at the highest level is also important.

Florida is 6-0 in OT this year. With 2 OT wins in each series.

 

[doublechili]

On that OT goal, Slavin went over to the corner and ended up taking out Burns and also losing his stick, leaving the front open for FLA's tic-tac-toe play. Even great players can screw up.

Not yet exactly the most exciting game today...

And there’s a couple of people on this board saying “just one or two tweaks and we could be those Panthers next season”

 

[Big L]

Have the game on in the background. Has Dallas been playing great D or Vegas just not having a good day? 18 shots for Vegas with 3 mins to go

 

[Lek]

6 of them in the last 3 or 4 minutes

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Yes, and they're right.

Of course, those tweaks would have to be Aho for Ekblad and Bailey for Tkachuk...

Good, f*** them. What goes around comes around

certainly not why they lost....oh, and are they complaining about the calls that should have been made on them in the first that were missed?...assuming not.

The Panther playoff run makes you wonder how Bob played himself out of a job late in the season.

Hurricanes' Brind'Amour flummoxed by missed high-stick on Gostisbehere

Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour was frustrated by a missed high-sticking call late in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final.Panthers forward Sam Reinhart clipped Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere in the face with his stick with...

I guess they forgot about the one they got away with when they Cracked Mayfield...

 

[leeroggy]

"Back in the regular season, he went 24-20 with a .901 saves percentage and 3.07 GAA. Sergei Bobrovsky entered Game 3 of the series versus the Hurricanes carrying a 9-2 record in 12 starts since the start of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs to go with a 2.32 GAA and .931 saves percentage."

Just shows you how confidence plays into playing goal

true true, The man is dominating Hasek style. It always makes me wonder if the Isles could have made a run this year too. But I regress, we were not winning the cup this year anyway

And Canada's national nightmare of a season continues . . .

I kinda enjoyed the TNT postgame with Carter, Lundquist and Gretzky.

Fun games. Radko Gudas is my current favorite name.

Still think we have a 6/7 game series --

The Panthers have been waiting for this Bobrovsky to show up for the last 4 years.

This is why fans lean on the hot goalie angle when the playoffs roll around. We all saw it with John Davidson in 1979.

Not with Sorokin being merely ordinary against the Hurricanes. Remember the final goal? Woof.

At least the Panthers have the speed to counter punch against the Hurricanes aggressive PK.

yes, needed Sorokin at his best. We got his C plus game. I do feel one day this guy can get us on a deep run and perhaps a cup. Alittle more speed in our lineup sure will help.

I can’t say Gudas’ name without throwing up a little in my mouth. He is one cheap POS. Always was. f*** him.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

I'm kind of embarrassed for Gretzky. Especially when Bisonette and some of the other yahoos doing their schtick. It just seems unbecoming for someone of Gretzky's stature.

A bit more speed, a PPQB, and a bigtime goal scorer. Hard to address, but not impossible.

Should've been embellishment on him
