GDT: Around The League: 2024 Playoffs Edition Round 2- “Oh, You Didn’t Know? You’re Ass Better Call SOMEBODY!!!!!”

Oettinger having one of his off nights.

If we do make it, this is wonderful. Hope these teams start to just beat the crap out of each other for a couple more games. Bring on a full speed mid-ice collision between Manson and Benn.

Stars within 1. Tipped shot. Hold Avs Hold. Need a long series.

Looked like Makar tipped it in. More oofs.

 

[Porkleaker]

Yep, I can see this going 7 now.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Oettinger is such a sketchy goalie, looks incredible for 3 starts then turns into a pumpkin

 

[CupofOil]

So much drama in the 2nd round. Carolina, Boston and Colorado all back from the dead and as we all know Canucks-Oilers has had tons of twists and turns.

 

[bellagiobob]

I’m perfectly fine if this series goes 7.

 

[BlackDogg]

MJ and Portland Game 4 is on TSN

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Good on Ingram, well deserved imo.

Good Saskatoon kid. Well deserved and I hope he can continue to excel on-ice and in conquering his mental healthy challenges.

A few notes on the game tonight.

Absolutely awful goal by Makar on his 2nd of the night. Ottinger completely fanned on it. A backbreaker.

Devon Toews bailed on Dallas' 3rd goal, failing to absorb a hit to make the play, and the Avs paid the ultimate price, allowing a screened goal.

The physicality in this series is nothing compared to the Oilers/Canucks. Nice to see see Bettmans goofs letting all the shit go against the league's brightest stars, and someone gets touched in the other series and it's straight to the box.

Sometimes I feel like the Oilers powerplay is actually too good. Refs are afraid to make it look like they are making a huge impact in a game so when one team is clipping along at 50% on the PP they don't want to make calls.

I haven't watched a ton of this series, but would it also be fair to say that the building in Dallas has been a morgue? Tuesday night in November intensity from that crowd in the bits I've watched at least.

Dallas have been horrible at home on playoffs. So bad that the fans could be expecting losses. They were noisy early on


Looks like Makar finally showed up in series. His own fans could wonder where he'd been until game 45 That was a completely different Makar


Man, Dallas never make it easy for themselves. Poor record in elimination games.

If we move I think that the Avalanche would be the much preferred matchup.

They're similarly constructed to the Nucks. Top heavy forward group combined with an elite offensive d man drive the bus, except their talent in each of these areas far exceeds Vancouver. If we find the formula here, it is roughly transferrable to a series against the Avalanche IMO.

Disclaimer - I acknowledge that the Avalanche are worlds better than the Nucks, just play a similar brand and similarly balanced.

A Oilers and Rangers win tonight would make me extremely happy.

I am hearing that Darren D. from TSN has passed away. I was not aware of any illness?

Edit--he was battling prostrate cancer--sad to be gone at aged 58--way too young.

News Article: - RIP Dutchy

This hits close to home. Remember growing up watching him nightly on ITV Sports then on TSN Sportscenter as lead anchor of the 9 pm sportscast. The guy was a legend. RIP Dutchy.

Might wanna next time say Darren "Dutchie", because my first initial thought was Darren Dreger died? WOW!

RIP Dutchie

I can't remember now if it was last series or early on in this series, but Dallas was the loudest building I've heard so far these playoffs

I didn't see the big boobed gal last night, so yah, not a lot of excitement for the viewership either.

OMG, Dutchy. So sad, he was an icon in the field. I remember seeing him at a batting cage in Edmonton way back in the day, when he was with some buddies and they likely had been having a few beers or so. Missed every fast ball, and then went down in the crouch to try to bunt and damned near got hit. I think he was pretty much well loved. RIP Dutch.

I concur. Reminds me of our great team in the 80's where we destroyed teams 4 on 4, and the league changed the rules to even things out. And back in the 50's when the Habs PP was so deadly, they introduced the rule that allowed the offender out of the box after a goal was scored.
