GDT: Around The League 2023-24: Post Season of Misery and What-Ifs :(

[Ritchie Valens]

People have posted way worse on here to make themselves look foolish,

You’re good.

Guilty as charged, on all accounts.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That was an awful effort by the Rangers.

That was an awful effort by the Rangers.

I think fans of 31 teams across the NHL are saying, jeez we could have beat the Rangers.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Rangers are kind of a pathetic original 6 franchise. Four cups in like 100 years and the last one in 94 had what 6-7 ex-Oilers on it. The original Ottawa Senators had 4 all in the 1920s. Pathetic...

 

[Captain Fantastic]

You guys think Wheeler is still making this face right now?

View attachment 878518

Where did his neck go ? lol Reminds me of this cartoon character..

 

[Cloned]

So in the end the Rangers were what everybody else thinks the Oilers are (except with a goalie) - PP merchants with no depth who can’t generate offense 5on5.

They're a shit 5 on 5 team but nobody notices because they have Shesterkin.

Panthers pretty scary looking team. They're vibing right now for sure. Whoever comes out of the west will have their hands full, but people making it sound like Dallas or the Oilers have no chance...

They get past weak teams in Easy East so it doesn't matter and their Cup should have so many asterix on it if they ever win, am I doing this right?

IF it is Edmonton in the finals, the narrative will be exactly that but this is interesting to note:

First round opponents for both:
LAK- 99 points
TBL- 98 points

Second round opponents for both:
VAN- 109 points
BOS- 109 points

Third round opponents for both:
DAL- 113 points
NYR- 114 points

Exact same total number of regular season points.

Sounds familiar. The team coming out of the Oilers-Nucks series was supposed to have no chance against the Stars.

Then narrative changes, already happening that they say Dallas has empty tank because it needed to get through Corporate LTIR and Refalanche as Oilers just cruised through old and slow Kings and banged Cancucks.

f*** them all, Kings would have won quite many East teams and same goes with Vancouver.

The East is weak… those teams don’t have mcdavid, drai , Bouch,Hyman.

They actually had eight ex-Oilers on that roster...Mark Messier, Adam Graves, Jeff Beukeboom, Esa Tikkanen, Craig MacTavish, Glenn Anderson, Kevin Lowe and Mike Hudson.

are they? I haven't caught any of their games, but on paper they don't look too crazy

 

[North Cole]

Every time Sheshterkin gets scored on he frantically looks left and right as if the goal should be called off by divine intervention.

Probably just looking around to try to find his teammates. Theyre invisible so he ends up looking around a lot.

The Oil were supposed to have no chance against the Canucks and were suppose to have no chance against the Stars. I’d rather face Bobrovsky than Shesterskin.

If they win tonight, I think we’re gonna see another level from McDavid & Draisaitl we’ve never seen from them in the finals.

 

[bellagiobob]

One man team can only take you so far.

 

[bellagiobob]

They are legit. Just beat three teams with three of the best goalies in the game. Extremely physical, aggressive style that suits their personnel well.

Yup.
