Around the League - 2024-2025 Part II

[torontoblood]

Just like yesterday, the underdog team on the road in game 7 blows away a 2-goal lead in the third period as the favorite team with home ice advantage finds a way to come back to tie the game. Will the jets copy the stars and complete their own comeback with a win?

 

[Cleetus]

Legit screamed. I normally hate on all other teams, but that was hero mode

Crazy collapse by St.Louis

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Since I was chirping him earlier, I'll say Ehlers for the Jets

Schenn for the Blues

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

nice to see other teams collapse instead of the leafs for a change.

 

[1specter]

Not even close. Hellybuck is the Nik Ehler of hockey

You have no idea how bad Ehler is in playoffs

Mitch also contributes in penalty kill. There are plenty of players in NHL or was in NHL that was worse than Mitch

Also I don't think you know Rick Nash was. Regular season stud, playoff dud

Well, he set up the tying goal lol. Also Ehlers doesn't have the same expectations of Marner or Helle on him. Ehlers is in the Nylander role on that team.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I'm just glad we're not involved in these games, not sure my heart could take it. Sure is fun to watch when you don't care much who wins though.

 

[blue stick]

Jets with 5 Dmen getting gassed one would think

 

[thewave]

Hilarious PP

Jets are just terrible haha

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Helly has come up huge in OT.

Not sure how long the Jets can last on 5 D since the first period.

Have to give them credit, insane determination and heart with all of them stepping up.

Since Hyman got there they have never lost in the 1st round.

That Chicago team had Toews, Kane, Strome, Debrincat and Saad. Not too crazy but compared to Edmonton it was pretty good. That Vegas series Draisatl pulled off what our 2 superstars do and went crazy games 1 & 2 and then ghosted the rest. McDavid produced every game except 1.

Lets take a look at some of those rosters that missed the playoffs shall we. McDavid 116 points and Drai 105. Next closest is Nuge at 69 and then to round out the top 6 we got Chiasson at 38 and Lucic and Kassian at 26 and 20. Don't know how they weren't cup favourites. Year before that McDavid 108 points and Drai 70 points. Then Nuge with 48 and Strome with 34. Then Marron and Cammalerri to round out the top 6 with 30 and 22. The other year was his rookie year and he missed half the year because of a broken collarbone.

Idk how we call these black marks when our guys never had to carry this kind of trash with just the 2 of them. Now they're even carrying 2 of our former pieces of trash past the 1st round every year they've been there.

excuses, that team was god awful everyone considers that series a travesty. Then to follow it up getting swept by the jets is pathetic. mind you missing the playoffs in your prime like those two did a couple of times in the weakest division in hockey is also pathetic.

also mcdavid did not produce every game in that series he got worked over at 5 on 5 and got some pity PP points. in the NHL I'm told winning is all that matters, going nuclear and then turning into a pumpkin in the biggest game of your career is chokerish to me.

McKinnon continued under delivering until Makar showed up on the scene; he has 1 game 7 goal in his career and is 0-6 or something in game 7s not sure why no one ever harps on that.

 

[yubbers]

Jets game has been wild

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Massive save by Binnington

LOL at Broberg's stick breaking there

 

[Jmo89]

Jets seem to be dominating the OT outside a couple good looks for the Blues.

 

[Squiffy]

I don't think Big Save Binnington is letting one here here. I'll call Blues

 

[Squiffy]

God I love the playoffs.

 

[MSZ]

God I love the playoffs.

I don't when it's Sunday. I'm not gonna stay up all night to watch this.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Another OT? The Stars like this

 

[yubbers]

I don't when it's Sunday. I'm not gonna stay up all night to watch this.

Gotta get to Old Country buffet at 5:30am for the early bird?

Pretty much. Vilardi though haha

 

[BallardEra]

Pionk almost at 40 minutes TOI tonight.

 

[Squiffy]

I don't when it's Sunday. I'm not gonna stay up all night to watch this.

I consider myself to have no choice in the matter lol

 

[7even]

Binnington's playing better but the Blues look faded. If they don't score in the first eight minutes of 2OT I think it's Winnipeg's game.

 

[yubbers]

It's hard to take a player seriously when their names sounds like Snugaroo
