Around the League 34 - 1 round down, 3 to go

[ndp]

The Rongos are skating TB to death. The "kid line" has turned them into a legit three line threat.

It pains me to see how good this Rangers team has suddenly become, the metro is going to be an absolute bloodbath for years to come.

I don’t think we would be doing the same thing to tampa but, still, this is really frustrating to see.

Hopefully frustrating to the players, coaches and management as well.

Going back to my Western Conf roots now that the Canes are out. As much as I dislike Colorado I’ll take them or Edmonton (barring a miracle) over any other EC team.

 

[Negan4Coach]

If Rags win the Stanley... Well, I hate them but I will feel better knowing we lost from the champion

I will feel terrible knowing it could have been us had home ice been taken care of in Game 7. I mean damn.

 

[AD Skinner]

Tampa would have lit up kochetkov in at least one game before andersen was ready to go, and a rusty andersen probably takes a game to get back up to speed. Our goalie situation would have been like spotting the other team a 2 game lead

 

[Canes]

Yeah I am not sure why anyone thinks we'd put up a similar offensive showing like the Rangers have against Tampa, who we just match up with poorly. Ultimately the Rangers have the superstar power to match the Lightning and we don't.

And one of the leagues best goal tenders. They essentially have everything they need to make it to the Finals. If we had healthy goalies I think we'd be in the mix with Tampa. The Canes played some near perfect games against the Rangers, and it boiled down to game 7, and Raanta was already cooked.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Well, it's a 1-1 tie after Edmonton scored two goals in the first.

 

[Tryamw]

Now tied at 2... in the third.

 

[Tryamw]

Make it 3-2 in the third.. Smith Leaky..

 

[LostInaLostWorld]

Make it 3-2 in the third.. Smith Leaky..

A very Cane bad puck luck play.

A very Cane bad puck luck play.

Yep

and McDavid is tired of having the team on his shoulders and Drai is a one legged man..

 

[Summer Rose]

I usually wish former Coyotes players well. Mike Smith is one of very, very few exceptions.

No disagreement here. Shesterkin has been every bit of Vasilevskiy's equal since entering the league despite playing behind a worse team.

 

[Tryamw]

And Game Colorado.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

ah to be in the west where the playoff route is a lot easier

 

[HisIceness]

I hope the Avs sweep and the two east teams beat the shit out of each other, and the Avs sweep the winner. That would be just swell.

 

[Canes]

The Edmonton McDrais luck has run its course. Reminds me a lot of our 2019 run, a lot to be happy about finally getting there again but treating it like you've actually accomplished something might be your downfall.

Maybe Edmonton should hang a banner.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Go Avs go

Hot take, we will never see the Oilers as they are now win another playoff series.

Now watch me be wrong and they go to the Finals next year.

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

Go Avs… Stay with Francouz…

 

[surfzone365]

Oil leak is out of control now

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Oil leak is out of control now

They weren’t a good team to start with. Their defense and goalies have been porous all year. Had the easiest first round matchup and then somehow rattled Calgary’s cage.
