Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[notDatsyuk]

Check out this jabroni Boston writer from the Athletic. Less than a month ago he was previewing a potential Leafs-Bruins second round series and was basically bragging about how the Bruins would walk us.

Bruins vs. Maple Leafs in the playoffs? If it happens, the favorite is quite clear

The Bruins are still giving off every indication of being the superior team.

I also love this tidbit at the end of the article:

He's right - it didn't take them long to get out of the entire playoffs!

Talk about shooting you wad early. It couldn't have happened to a better team.

Colorado (champions), Tampa Bay (finalists), Boston (NHL wins record), all done in round 1.

I love hockey. This is the best tournament in sports.

It's nice that our team had a part in making that happen

I guess the Bruins thought they were so good that it wasn’t fair to the rest of the league and left early.

Yeah. That must be it.

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

I think the Leafs, but more so the Panthers, broke every playoff prediction made. Nobody predicted the Lightning and the Broons would both go out in the first round

The majority of predictions had the Leafs advancing?

Bruins for sure though.

its really one of the most interesting things about this league - anything can happen once you're in the playoffs.

I bet Florida cleans up their game and is not as apt to take penalties in round 2.

The Pastrnak embellishment was embarrassing to watch yesterday. Look at this!

Always have to watch for snipers in the stands. Tough sport.

So much for the Bruins 'record breaking' regular season.

Too bad they shot their load doing so. Now, our Leafs can't exercise that demon.

Our Leafs need to take Florida seriously. They'll be pumped after eliminating the mighty Bruins !!!

I live in the Boston area.

I honestly might repeatedly orgasm listening to sports talk radio tomorrow.

People really undervalue the importance of luck and peaking at the right time.

The series seemed to swing when Ullmark stupidly fought Tkachuk. Last night we saw Tkachuk try to get into Swayman's head when he accidently, intentionally bumped into him. Swayman calmly skated over to MT, said something and gave him a stick tap. You can bet MT tries the same tactics on Sammy.

I bet Florida doesn't clean up their game, and still doesn't get as many penalties in round 2.

 

[Jojalu]

Imagine Kraken Vs Leafs, Haskol Vs Keefe, McCann Vs Kerfoot/Holl. Really interesting story line. Two teams who eliminated the SC finalists.

Kerfoot can't be included. He was exposed in the expansion draft.

EDIT:

The judges were going to give it a 7 until that masterful leg kick at the end. 10/10.

 

[Nineteen67]

The 7 teams that have advanced to round 2 have cliched the series on the road.
Can the Rangers can make it 8.

Tampa, Boston, Colorado all gone and we are still here. Need to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Let’s see if they light the CN Tower in its rightful colours now.

Boston Dangle?

Bergeron had a herniated disc in his back

Ouch. He’s a warrior.
