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

[PromisedLand]

Josh Manson is a prime example of analytics followers vs feel of the game followers.

Would've loved him on the Leafs.

I was told manson trade by the Avs is really bad and sakic sucked on it right here on this board.

manson is playing in the finals meanwhile the same posters are in the dubas thread defending dubas' moves.

go figure

Yeah Josh Manson was a big Leaf board target for a long time but a certain segment of the analytics-adjacent crowd wasn't interested. He's been a good fit for the Avs.

This is the kind of Game 2 I wanted for my Leafs. Alas.

 

[Nylanderthal]

4.5 mil goaltending > 9.5 mil goaltending

2.25m technically as he’s half retained

 

[Menzinger]

More like Avs forwards dominating so they can gave a 1m goalie in there.

Sounds like a successful team doesn't have to build from the net out then.

Not tonight. Might not case in Tampa but Avs look real good tonight.

 

[saffronleaf]

point has not been on point

 

[CelticDruid]

If engvall wanted to he could have been nikushkin for us

But that dude doesn't want to do any work along the boards

His speed should have been a nightmare for other teams

He was an expert at the poke check from fifty feet away . Hagel couldn't punch him in the face with that Linda Blair neck of his.

Felt like 101 out of 100 people here said he sucked.

4-0

Probably no comeback tonight.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

No Kadri and still Colorado is dominating.

How do you make someone go crazy?
Tell them to find a corner in a round room.

 

[socko]

The fat lady is clearing her throat.

 

[ToneDog]

Are Blues 2nd best team if tampa can't beat Colorado twice and without their #1 goalie?

 

[keonsbitterness]

[socko]

Yikes.

Tampa is going to have to start trapping better. The Avs speed is killing them at the moment.

yea... how stupid right? they should be complaining like people on this board did about losing Tavares in the montreal series.

 

[ToneDog]

The fat lady is clearing her throat.

She cleared her throat after game 2 vs Rangers. She may want to wait to see if Avs can get a one in Tampa.

True. This team is a lot better than the Rangers though. Except for goalie of course. Rangers goalie is way better.

brunette was significantly outcoached by cooper. brunette made ZERO adjustments. when the florida basically went all in only to get swept because their coach was inept, florida should be thinking about next best steps instead of status quo

trotz got fired for not making the playoffs after 2 ECFs in a row and a jack adams.

other teams are all about results

Question is what does Trotz want?

Would he really want to go home to Manitoba?

 

[ToneDog]

Yikes.

Cooper has to go back to the drawing board or it will be a shirt series.

Question is what does Trotz want?

Doesn't matter. Leafs not interested in firing future HoF coach.

 

[socko]

I'm surprised they're playing this wide open style, it's not their usual game, and it greatly favors Colorado.

He wants a gm role. Or dual role

 

[keonsbitterness]

Whoa! Great save.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Reminder that Manson wouldn’t waive it come to Toronto anyway so that point is moot.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Byram is so good.

Sakic absolutely destroyed the Preds and Sens in that Duchene trade lmao
