Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[Seath The Scaleless]

As expected, Kings are putrid away from home

 

[TheGreenTBer]

NJ cough up 2 goal 3rd period lead. lol

KEEFE IS AWESOME AND CONOR TIMMINS IS MY SON

For all the Sens fans nonsense about how they think they have actually been the better team in our series and could/should be up 2-1. They need to look at how Montreal and the Oilers responded in their game 3’s. At least so far for the oil

 

[Delete1]

I was thinking about a potential Leafs/Canes cf yesterday. I reached the conclusion that considering each teams system, that could be one boring series.
Hoping we avoid it.

For better or worse, that will be the conference final. On the bright side, the Leafs will win.

They’re just reacting to what the Oilers do. Need to be more assertive or Oilers will eat them alive.

Montreal brought it far harder tonight than Ottawa has in any of the three games thus far. Like by a lot.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Kempe having quite the series.

Absolutely. That is the kind of push back little brother needed but they just don’t have it in them.
Because we are just simply a much better and more experienced team.

 

[7even]

Kempe is such a slick player

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Man Kempe is so good. Even in the previous 3 series where they got dusted, he was one of the few who came to play

Leafs weren't purposefully methodical, more like stifled.

The leafs were the highest scoring team in the eastern conference and the third highest scoring team in the league that season.

But the canes shut them down with their methodical, disciplined, hermetic and defensive system. It was a very frustrating series as Toronto struggled to generate any offense against a defensively suffocating Carolina team with solid goaltending . Cujo had little offensive support unlike in the two previous series against NYI and OTT.

If I recall correctly the canes weren’t that physical but they were still hard to play against because of their high IQ positioning on defense.

f*** that series.

I know Detroit would have assblasted us because no one was beating that team but still.

Yeah on paper, the path to the final was wide open for the leafs. Carolina was beatable with little star power aside from Ron Francis, Rod Brindamour, and Jeff O’Neill. With the exception of Glen Wesley, they had no names on their defense. But just like in the 1999 ECF against Buffalo, the Leafs unfortunately couldn’t take advantage of it in reality. Hasek missed the first two games of the series in Toronto because of a groin injury, but the leafs could only manage a split at home.

 

[ToneDog]

So Hagel gets one game for predatory hit on Florida's best player while Bunts got 3 for similar hit on Cernak. Well done Dopes.

Jarvis/Palat for OT

Jarvis/Palat for OT

Svech/Bratt

Is there anything more annoying than the Oilers play by play guys voice?

 

[1specter]

Devils are dominating in OT but can't get a goal. With Keefe as coach, you know what that means - the first bullshit chance Carolina gets will go in Though they have Andersen in net who is the opposite of clutch, so let's see who chokes it harder

 

[cyris]

Svech/Bratt

Haula/Stankoven

The Bruins guy who retired in the last couple seasons

I took 6 kings in my playoff pool. That night there was mockery, crickets since.

I took the Kings. Don’t remember how many games.
Ekholm was a huge loss for them. He is their only competent defender.

 

[cyris]

Hahaha 3-2

 

[1specter]

lmao what a shit pp and they still managed to score
