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

[Gordy Elbows]

He said he was only signing with a team in the West so he could be closer to his kids.

No. That was Duncan Keith.
Kane was looking at options where he could showcase himself for a longer term contract. Playing with McD fit the bill.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Given how the Leafs were penalized in the playoffs, Kane probably would have gotten suspended if the Leafs had him

Oilers are done once they face a proper team. Winning one round is good as it gives the organization false hope that Ken Holland knows what he’s doing.

 

[ULF_55]

So McDavid lead his team to round 2.

 

[BayStBullies]

Yup, against LA. You have to take advantage of that free pass.

It's the West, there is only one proper team. They could make it 3 rounds for free.

Don't count out the Blues.

You can only beat/lose to the team you are playing.

I would have been thrilled had the Leafs won against the Canadiens last year.

What easier path could you find?

Ummmmm you do realize they made the finals last year right?

There must have been an easier path then the finalist

Anybody who believes in the Oilers for beating a Doughty-Less Kings in 2022 is dumb as bricks. Meaning Bob Nicholson and Daryl Katz are totally hoodwinked.

 

[Stephen]

So McDavid lead his team to round 2.

They've already made the second round in the past. They just don't always make the playoffs.

Draisaitl was much better than McDavid last time.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

So now that our team is out, curious what Leaf fans like to see next:
Battle of Alberta or let Oettinger take care of the Oilers?

Oettinger might have a better chance. The batten of Alberta would be closer imo

 

[tokyoite]

oilers advance.
leafs exit.
enough is enough.
time to clean house shanny ?

I'd rather not have an Alberta team guaranteed to make the conference finals. Also, I think Dallas can shut down the Oilers' offense

Would be funny to see the Flames choke to another wild card team

Battle of Alberta so the inevitable Oilers loss hurts more.

 

[stickty111]

This year's version of the Leafs beat the Kings pretty easily. Oilers should be embarassed it took until game 7 to beat them. It just goes to show Eakins, Mac, Hitch, Tippett weren't the problem as many always blamed their coaches, McDavid needed to play better

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Shesterkin with some huge saves and then the Rangers score



Fun start so far

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Oettinger might have a better chance. The batten of Alberta would be closer imo

part of me would love to see the battle of Alberta, but I'm also onboard to see these 2 dropping a.s.a.p.

Rooting for a Lightening/Avs final, with a Kadri OT winner in game 7

 

[stickty111]

If Pens lose in the first round again and Sullivan is let go, he's the guy I want. I like him more than Trotz

that'll work for me

Funny I had an Oilers fan telling me a few minutes ago the Kings beat the Leafs this year. I don't know wtf we did to those guys but HF Oil fans have no rationality on anything Leafs. There's obviously some cool Oilers fans out there but the ones you run into on the main boards are hacks.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

3 of the 4 home teams scored first in game 7

Must be nice. We scored first only twice in our series lmao

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

If that happens, I'll drive to the airport and pick up Sullivan. But I don't see Pittsburgh letting him go because that'd be really foolish.

Yup I like Keefe and he wasn't outcoached this series, but yup Sullivan every time.
I think there is a decent chance he is let go. 4 straight first round exits potentially. It would be silly they fired him though
