Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[stickty111]

Amazing and surprising first round so far

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Grubauer completes the revenge series win

Avs were missing too many key forwards. Seemed like MacKinnon and Rantanen had to do everything on offense

 

[cyris]

Avs have a great crowd there, loud in the dying minutes, big cheers after the loss. I guess a Stanley Cup will do that for people.



Carolina I think, 2006

Yeah it’s Carolina I just looked it up. Crazy. What a playoffs so far.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Ron Francis took some criticism for his expansion draft. Guess he knew a thing or two.

 

[saffronleaf]

Watched leafs advance, Just drove back from Montreal, dropped off wife, went to soccer game, watched panthers beat Boston, scored two goals at soccer, now watching avs get kicked out while drinking red wine


I say I had an alright weekend

making me feel lazy af lol. i've been on my couch in my apartment most of the weekend watching playoffs hockey with a few beers. cooked some food.

still, sometimes those lazy weekends are the best.

 

[djdev]

2 things.

1. i never want the leafs to win the presidents trophy
2. florida not only beat the bruins they also improved our 1st rnd draft pick this year.


good times.

 

[saffronleaf]

is bjorkstrand supposed to be this good?

That's a very good weekend as far as I am concerned. Just feels different

There's a change in the wind, as captain barabossa would say from pirates of the Caribbean

 

[Leaf Rocket]

This season the playoffs is wide open. Need to strike this year imo.

 

[Trapper]

Colorado gone.
We will have a new champ, let me correct myself

Toronto maple leafs will be the champs

The last time a Canadian team won was 1993.
Now 30 years later in 2023, the stars have aligned. Happy anniversary.

is bjorkstrand supposed to be this good?

He was a scoring machine back in A and O

 

[Leaf Rocket]

is bjorkstrand supposed to be this good?

There was considerable hype around him when he was drafted but didn't translate so surprise kind of

 

[sxvnert]

Any one of the remaining teams winning the cup is a massive story.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

You're a lunatic and a legend

I’ve just got the lunatic part covered.
Ginger papa is the legend.

Dallas vs Edmonton WCF would bring back some sweet late 90s nostalgia. Those were some great series.

In the ECF I think the Rangers would be the most fun to face, but who knows if they'll get out of the first round. Big markets, original six.





also, absolutely love TNT's coverage. they make hockey fun. compare that to Ron Maclean clown show ugh.

Todd Marchants goal still stuck on my memory

Ofcourse the year after pronger and his wife had to be a total jerk wanting out

Wait that was way after. My bad, I am thinking 2005-2006

Gutted that team

 

[PROUD PAPA]

was he a cap casualty from the Johnny Hockey signing?

 

[notDatsyuk]

Last three Cup winners both out in round one.

Man that looks good. Seattle - Dallas looks like a goalie duel, really looking forward to Edmonton - Vegas and a full round of Eichel v McDavid, Toronto - Florida has the potential for a couple barn burners, and Carolina I think is a team that can beat anyone but are getting a bit squeezed by injuries. Great playoffs this year.

 

[3blizzard4]

Bruins fans have a Monday morning workday tomorrow after this colossus debacle.

Hate to see it.

 

[leafsfan5]

This is the best weekend of hockey I can remember

I love it all. All of it.

 

[7even]

This is the best weekend of hockey I can remember

I love it all. All of it.

I am (obviously) a Leafs fan, and an Atlanta Falcons fan. The city of Boston has personally and chronically victimized me. Tonight I have reached a state of profound peace.

Seattle and Vegas expansion teams, Kraken could do it in year 2. Dallas first time since '99. make up for 2020. Oilers first time since 1990, McDavid gets his Cup. Rangers first time since '94, Devils first time since '03, Hurricanes first time since '06. Panthers first Championship ever. And of course, the Toronto Maple Leafs ending an over 50 year curse.
