Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Tony Romo]

Would have loved to have seen Ullmark throw down with Tkachuk

He was ready for business and looked rather confident in his abilities

 

[MCR74]

That last goal was just salt in the wound. I like it.

 

[Legion34]

He looks like Toyman from Superman The Animated Series.

Thats it! I was thinking howdy doody or some Toy Story thing.

Ullmark looks like someone who can handle himself.

We didn’t even see Bob come across. He didnt want that smoke at all.

Bob has problems of his own right now. A beatdown by the opposing goalie is the last thing he needs.

no bergeron and no krejci and the panthers still get smoked

 

[torontoblood]

Bruins will certainly have a full and healthy roster, next round against us or tampa(God forbid)

Boston will face us or tampa at full strength

Against florida, They are in control of the series 3-1- without breaking a sweat and without krejci and bergeron.


Walk in the park
Never in doubt

They talked about Bruins' depth a lot, but this is ridiculous.

Imagine Pens without Sid and Gino just keep on winning like it's a non-issue.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Tbh the more entertaining series has been the Dallas and Minnesota and I've been rooting for the Wild.

I wanted the panthers to take them more into a longer series but it doesn't look like it is going to happen sadly.

 

[torontoblood]

If any team eliminates the bruins this year, it will be probably the biggest playoff upset of the century.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Oettinger is playing like his life depends on every save.

If any team eliminates the bruins this year, it will be probably the biggest playoff upset of the century.

Well we better make history happen

 

[PromisedLand]

Bruins weren't generating much 5 on 5 for the first couple periods. They got timely powerplays and converted on both.

Later florida was chasing the game in the 3rd so were cheating for offense giving bruins chances to counter attack. Barkov is the biggest fraud in the NHL when it comes to playoff hockey

I thought they are re-seeding again in the playoffs. If Rangers come out they face the top team in the east (bruins); don't they if Leafs win the series?

Nah they don't do that in this new playoff format. It's the worst thing about it because the best series could be played in the 1st 2 rounds.

I thought after the 1st round (divisional rivalry BS) they based the 2nd round on regular season finishes.

so regarless of who wins b/w Leafs/Tampa they are going to play boston?

After that, the teams do not get reseeded in the second round. Rather, the series winner with the No. 2 and No. 3 teams for a division plays the winner of the series with their division winner playing the wild card team.

For example, for this postseason, let's say the Bruins, Maple Leafs and Lightning place first through third in the Atlantic in that order. The winner of the Bruins' first-round series against the wild-card team faces the winner of the Maple Leafs-Lightning matchup.

I looked it up to make sure I wasn't wrong and this is what the article said. So looks like winner between our series plays Boston no matter what.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

I have no idea how Dallas didn't make it 3-0 on the chance before the Klingberg goal. Could be a series changing sequence

Thanks I didn't know that. Jeez....

well good for us i guess. if we are to win against the bolts in a series it would be glorious to slay one demon at a time first tampa and then boston both of whom have been a thorn in our eye

I don't think they're going to be healthy in any case.

 

[Menzinger]

Lol

Yes

 

[Isaac Nootin]

These refs in the Dallas/Minny game might somehow be worse than what's going on in the Toronto series. Awful.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lol

Quality of officiating has hit an all-time low in these playoffs. What a joke.

 

[Menzinger]

Wild put up a good fight. This series remains my favorite non-Leaf matchup of the first round

The refs quite literally handed Dallas the W with that phantom tripping call on Folingo. Otherwise it would be getting ready for OT
