Around the League 20-21 Thread: Playoffs Edition

[deeshamrock]

Habs up 2-0 after the 1st. Jets with only 8 SOG's.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Any “journalist” who underestimates the Islanders needs to stop writing. It amazes me how UNDERRATED the Islanders are.

His Twitter handle is appropriately titled. The guy is a hack.

 

[unicornpig]

probably bostons last year of being cup contenders.

 

[kovacro]

Nassau Coliseum is gonna be rocking on Wednesday. Let’s go Islanders!

 

[deeshamrock]

Trotz is such a smart coach, just understands the game so well.

 

[kovacro]

Jets tie it up.

 

[kovacro]

Montreal now over 405 minutes without trailing in a Stanley Cup playoff game. 3rd longest streak in NHL history.

 

[SufferingSelfCreated]

Price is playing like a goalie who will be remembered for carrying this team to a SC.

 

[Maynard]

It’s cash back match peopllllle!

you all know that, you work here!

Caufield to Toffoli. Can’t help but cheer for this Cinderella team.

I simply cannot cheer for the Habs. Full marks to them though, they are the surprise package.

Hope the get sent packing next round.

Seeing them oust the Leafs and the team that embarrassed the Oilers is most impressive, especially for a team that many didn’t think would qualify for the playoffs.

 

[LAKings88]

Honestly Montreal just took out two good teams.

f*** Vegas forever.

I would like to see the Avs vs Montreal.

With Colorado curbstomping them.

Not super invested in the Avs either. Have a feeling it’s Tampa Bays year again. Price can steal games tho.

 

[kovacro]

I’m already sick of the talk comparing them to the 93’ Cup winning team.

 

[Herby]

I know you like defending the little people for whatever reason but the law of averages are never on their side. It's possible that Caufield could be the next Martin St. Louis but I strongly doubt it.
.

Defended because the ignorant comments are astounding. When does the size start to hinder him, it was supposed to be in college, it didn't, then it was the AHL, he looked out of place in the league, then it was supposed to be the NHL, and he looked good, then it was supposed to be the playoffs, and well, you are watching, I don't have to tell you.

If it's not in the SC playoffs when is it going to be?

And yes, you are correct, the law of averages isn't on his side, 99.99% of players his size have basically zero chance to play in the NHL, he is different though, he has offensive instincts and skills that are special.

 

[Mats26]

Not bad for a 'bullshit' patchwork team. Vegas and Avs will beat each other to a pulp, hope they have something left in the tank to beat them. It's never easy to beat a hot goalie in the playoffs.

 

[Bandit]

Yeah me neither but f*** Vegas because Vegas, f*** Montreal because ‘93, and f*** Tampa because LTIR. So all that’s left to root for is Colorado or Boston/NYI. Personally NYI would probably be ideal but we’ll see.

 

[Herby]

Islanders
Canadiens
Lightning
Canes
Knights
Avs
Bruins

Ignorant?

You said the same shit about Gaudreau. He looked good at first too until he started spending all his time shaking his wrists and bitching at the refs. Hey whatever, love your little people, I don't care.

I also look at it as McSorley/Melrose being dumbf***s for having illegal sticks on the ice in the third period.

 

[DoktorJeep]

Montreal was the last team to start the playoffs and the first to make the third round. Just one of those things no one saw coming.

 

[KopitarFAN]

So it's gonna be COL/VGK vs MTL & TB/CAR (probably TB) vs NYI/BOS, right?
1 vs 4 & 2 vs 3.

If so, at least we avoid the nightmare of MTL vs VGK in finals.
