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

[fahad203]

Someone here once said Lily is already good as Sergaychev
Not gonna say who....

 

[Nineteen67]

Nikush is gonna get paidddd
Kadri gonna get paiiiiddddd

Avs won't care, if they win the Stanly cup. They may suck next year



All from point shots getting through. Something we have serious hard time with

too many leafs think you have to pass it into the net. They have no idea what it takes to play in this game.

My Darren Helm prediction is getting closer!

Kadri for me

 

[TheShape]

Both teams need to shoot from anywhere, neither goalie looks convincing at the moment.

 

[Nineteen67]

How did Makar pick off that pass and send himself on a break? I need a replay

Interception and not really a breakaway

 

[Burnie97]

As a leafs fan, you should be rooting for Tampa.

1. f*** Kadri, he f***ed over this team. He doesn't get to win somewhere else.

2. The leafs should be the team that defeats Goliath.

1. No. He got traded. Even if he rejected the first it was his right. That's why they build this into contracts. Also if the other reason is him screwing them in the playoffs by being undisciplined maybe you could make the case but great teams don't lose a cup because of one player missing some games. He also at least has guts and plays with heart.

2. Maybe eventually ... hopefully next season but Colorado has been very good.

 

[ULF_55]

First two games weren't great.

But a break. Great read.

 

[keonsbitterness]

First two games weren't great.

Game one was overtime. The next two were lopsided.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Everyone slobs the knobs of MacKinnon, Rantanen and especially Makar, and they’re fantastic players, especially Makar.

But Colorado signs Nichushkin to a league min deal in 2019, and gets Toews for two 2nds.

Why…just why can’t the Leafs ever catch a break like that!?

 

[keonsbitterness]

Mr. Clutch again.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Awful goal to give up

 

[MSZ]

Tampa just won't say die.

 

[CelticDruid]

Goalies matter.

But, some on here figure you can do it on the cheap!

 

[ULF_55]

Will miss hockey, but it would be nice to finish tonight.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Can't leave a guy that wide open in the slot.

People forget Nichushkin was a 10th overall pick. He’s always had all the tools, just a late bloomer who took a while to put it all together.

 

[Nineteen67]

Ok I’ll jinx him, when was the last time vasi gave up 3 goals in an elimination game

What a load of rubbish.

 

[notbias]

I've seen it happen multiple times where Makar smokes someone without the puck and they call it a reverse...

 

[Voodoo Child]

Or Palat

Him too, but he was drafted by Tampa and developed within their system, and Tampa has always had an A+ development system.

Yeah he was but he was always kind of mercurial, but to me it speaks to Colorado having a very strong pro scouting department.

Dubas and his crew are great at drafting and the development pipeline is pretty good…but his pro scouting is straight garb.

I am pretty sure over 50% of Colorado's team was drafter in the first round, kind of crazy.
