Around the League - 2022-23 Season Edition

[Eternal Leaf]

Crazy what 1 good playoff run does for your rep. He was pretty much anti-clutch his whole career in Calgary.

Once a player does it in this fashion, you realize maybe there was something wrong in Calgary or it's just the next phase in his development as a star.

Didn't even take him 7 playoffs.

Yep, like I responded to someone else. Hopefully it happens here with the players here as well. You are pretty much anti-clutch until you are clutch. Tough to predict if or even when it will happen.

Apparently the key to making the cup finals is to beat the Leafs in a playoff round

It is also the key to losing in the cup finals apparently.

 

[Stolie the Goalie]

Playoffs are so fickle. If Bobrovsky is a bit worse or if the Leafs have a bit more finish in Round 2 Tkachuk doesn’t even get the opportunity to become clutch incarnate in the Conference Finals.

Leafs should have won game 2 that piss poor effort in the 2nd cost them that game. Game 3 again they were pathetic in OT. If anything the series should gone 7.

 

[Gallagbi]

So crazy that this is all because Pitts couldnt beat a few lottery teams

 

[Steven1562]

Panthers winning the cup would be another kick in the nuts for the Leafs core. What a missed opportunity.

Welcome to the least watch SCF in the history of NHL

how much cap implications do you guys think we've had so far with teh shit ass playoffs

Goaltending makes a difference.. Bob vs Markstrom's play

 

[PromisedLand]

Vegas... your the last hope now

Win that cup, Jack Eichel for Conn Smythe please and thanks

McDavid wins pretty much ever trophy tehre is for a forward/player this year, and ginger with the Smythe; hopefully that makes Matthews jealous

 

[Leafs87]

Have the Leafs also had some really poor luck lately? The last 4 teams the Leafs played in the playoffs went onto the Stanley Cup finals.

 

[Nineteen67]

Tkachuk has been sticking to hockey and the a little yapping and doesn’t run around hurting his team. Big difference hen he does that. He’s been in the lead most of the time so that helps his temperament.

Dubas will feel right at home.

We lost that series in the span of 1 minute and 6 seconds. That second period was an inexcusable travesty. Game 3 only compounded it.

Any thought of a jump beyond 1 million for next year is probably fantasy I’d grant.

We need to find a way to play ourselves in the 1st round.

 

[ToneDog]

Bob > Hill but Vegas is deep. Should be an interesting final. I hate both organizations, Gary and the inconsistent referring. We are never winning a cup until we are on the right side of bullshit referring.

 

[PromisedLand]

Looks like Freddie can join Matty in Arizona soon.

both of them can reminisce about Florida

 

[Squiffy]

Swamp vs Desert, finally an answer to the eternal question at hand.

 

[Azail]

Well, it took him 5, and missing the playoffs in 2 other seasons. Definitely wasn't a sensation to start his career. But faster then the core here for sure. No guarantee it ever happens either here... but we have to hope it does...

Not being physically beat up in a round must make it easier.

He's doing it on a line with Bennett and Cousins.

I do think its funny people who have been saying 'see, this is why you need an elite goalie!' when referencing Bob (not saying that is you, moreso others/media etc.). But then you look at the other likely Goalie and its Adin Hill, a journeyman backupish goalie, leading his team lol. Goalies are wild to predict.

just gotta hope whoever comes over here...gets it right and we get the cup.
