Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Superstar]

hurricanes dominating

They made it look easy...just play defense and score on your opportunities, who knew it was that simple? Brind'Amour probably made his team watch the Leafs/Panthers game and told them don't play defense like the Leafs.

Ekholm good, janmark injured again, kulak good, the other guys are who? one is making more money then the other but i still repeat...who

wonder how they'd feel if someone laid the lumber on McDavid or Draisatl in the soft spot between the pads like Benn did to Matthews. Not sure they'd be too happy so maybe they should cut that shit out or maybe pieterangelo should do it.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

if this game is any indication...I think vegas will win this series.

Skinner also needs to show up, he doesn't seem to be tracking the puck well tbh

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Oilers in survival mode when McDrai aren't on the ice

 

[3blizzard4]

Watch all this o-zone time and the Oilers will come down and drop a floater.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

that was imo a bit of a weak call.

Skinner keeping his team in the game

Some careless plays by the Oilers

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Amadio had a clear path to the net with Ekholm twisted around....but he tried to pass it lol

He is giving the Oilers a chance to tie this up...so are the Knights...lack of finish.

I miss the TNT panel....espn is kind of too gimmicky IMO.

espn is boring compared to tnt

Odd that Seattle or Devils didn't need six years of learning from losses to pass the first round.

Leafs were well ahead of schedule and then fell behind schedule. In the normal course of things maybe our rebuild wouldn’t have qualified for the playoffs until 2019. A couple of first round exits from that point and it’s just normal growing pains for a core of that age group and not the epic that it became.

Seattle is a new franchise but their players aren’t young.

New Jersey, give them credit. See how far they go or if Carolina manages to break them in two.

I don't think the Oilers generated a decent scoring chance in the 2nd outside of that shorthanded 2 on 1 rush

Vegas just letting them hang around. Lack of finish might cost them here.

the leafs were also in the conference where it is like in baseball. one of the most overloaded and competitive conferences of all time IMO.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Ok, Vegas. No more penalties.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Three quick ones. It's a goal-fest!

 

[saffronleaf]

lollll love how vegas gave 'em some hope before crushing 'em

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

My goodness. Vegas just dummying them 5 on 5

 

[3blizzard4]

YES VEGAS!

 

[saffronleaf]

skkiiiinnnerrrrrr

 

[leafsfan5]

These guys are literally just a powerplay, absolute trash 5v5 play

 

[torontoblood]

Geez...how much deeper and better would Carolina be with Svechnikov, Teravainen and Pacioretty.

The Hurricanes would easily be the favorites to win the cup right now if they were completely healthy. Their offense is missing three important weapons. They're still deep as hell though and they still have Aho and Staal. They play very well as a team defensively, they are very fast and they play at a high pace.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Now the Oilers need another Draisaitl hattrick.

 

[saffronleaf]

time to put campbell in

 

[Superstar]

skkiiiinnnerrrrrr

Someone is feeling naked getting left out to dry by his team...someone get a Nurse...

 

[keonsbitterness]

Well, that's one.
