GDT: Around the League - 2021/22 - Playoffs edition

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oh joy, now the snoozefest that is the Flames-Stars series is next.

 

[Metroid]

Why do American teams have some of the worst anthem singers. Wow. That was brutal (Dallas/flames game)

 

[Jojalu]

Insame amount of goals in the playoffs so far.

Except for Cal/Dal

 

[BertCorbeau]

Tkachuk is too focused on being a goon in the playoffs.

It’s great to be an agitator and physical but hems making a sideshow out of it and it’s taking away from his teams ability to score.

He a big part of one of the best lines in hockey and a huge part of the Flames offense. No wonder Calgary only has 1 goal in 2 games.

Tonight’s game reminds me of the pure awfulness that is Greg Millen, how does he still have a job?

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Great start to the Stars game. The crowd is way better than games 1 and 2 at the Saddledome

A match made trap heaven.

Lol Seguin pulled the chute when he saw Lucic coming, tough call on the goal. Coin flip.

Right call IMO

Oettinger pushed his leg outside of the crease which was the principle point of contact while Lucic very clearly made the effort to get around him/stay out of the crease.

Especially that blonde lady behind the Stars bench.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Flames can't score so they keep running the goalie.

Finally got called.

Yeah, he pushed at Lucic with his blocker and glove as well on replay a pretty clear call, Dallas replay people should have caught it.gonna get away with it

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Flames getting away with a ton of interference. Classic Sutter hockey

Entertaining period at least

 

[Bellefour20]

Never thought I'd see a Down Goes Brown shoutout on HNIC

 

[garce]

Interesting to see how these guys who started on the internet under catchy handles transition to mainstream and get their real personas out there as they age.

 

[OVO16]

If Gubrandanson, Zadorov, Brett Ritchie and Lucic all played for the leafs....they would all be considered pylons and this fanbase would be up in arms.

Just goes to show you how much a Coaching philosophy matters. Brett Sutter affect

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Seems like 4 on 4 happens at least twice a period

Zadorov would be a great add for the Leafs as a 4-5 guy.

 

[OVO16]

Zadorov would be a great add for the Leafs as a 4-5 guy.

Lmao dude 90% of this fanbase would want him scratched after the 1st game.

 

[BertCorbeau]

First time I've heard Benn's name all night

Barely heard Seguin's name too.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

As expected, Robertson line creating most of Dallas' chances. Benn and Seguin are skating in quicksand.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Calgary cares way too much about being tough guys instead of just bloody playing hockey. They’re the better team than Dallas and yet as it stands they’re one bad bounce away from being down 2-1 in the series.

Benn hit that power forward peak and has regressed hard. Seguin unfortunately had injuries catch up to him.

Sutter hockey without a doubt.

The second period was the first time I've seen that top line actually do what they've done all year and dominate offensively. Tkachuk finally focused on his game instead of being a goon.

 

[BertCorbeau]

18 goalies to record a win in the playoffs this year so far. Crazy stat.

Goes to show the reliable bonafide #1 goaltending is becoming harder to find.
