Around the League: Capitals and Ovie are Stanley Cup Champions

[Martin Skoula]

Imagine if he was re-hired by the Leafs?

A tag team of Burke and JFJ would unironically probably work well for the Leafs right now is the crazy thing.

 

[Trapper]

i really disagree, there is a short list of players in the league that "make everyone on the ice better" when they are on and those 2 guys fit that bill.

these foremen types won't survive, look at the hate for hyman,polak,koma in these parts.

Of course they fit the bill but we've been around long enough to know that the odds of that happening are very slim. Like the days of get Getzlaf,Stamkos,Richards,etc.
You can't sit around and hope it happens. You have to be proactive in fixing things with a more realistic approach. If it happens great, but if that's the master plan (the best you can come up with) I question the plan.

See yea Nashville

 

[Metroid]

No matter how good or bad your D is, if your goalie sucks, you suck... Really want the Jets out but this ain't looking good for the preds

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Rinne is making me appreciate Andersen to be honest. What a garbage performance

 

[Buds17]

Tough having to make a goalie switch in a Game 7, but have to do what needs to be done. We'll see if it sparks the team.

yah. no.

Rinne was really really lucky last year too, because he had some serious stinkers (I honestly feel his performance in the finals cost NSH the cup.)

Preds elite D look really really bad

Preds have 2 shots in the 2nd period..

No they don't. 2 of Winterpeg's goals were absolute gaffes from Rinne. Score should be 1-1

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Yea they do. After I wrote that Subban doesn't know who to go after, and leaves Schiefele wide open. 3-1.

 

[Peasy]

No they don't. 2 of Winterpeg's goals were absolute gaffes from Rinne. Score should be 1-1

Ellis didn't even bother to go after Stastny on the 2nd goal.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I could go for a Winnipeg collapse right about now

Dumb Rinne.

 

[Cleetus]

4-1 Winnipeg series is over

 

[Loosie]

This game is making me hate Hughson and Simpson more.

"The shots don't matter they're defending"

You'd NEVER hear them say that for the Leafs, it'd be 'it's a shooting gallery out there', 'they're being very passive and not attaacking'

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Jets are going to win the cup. Some people on here might have to go into hiding for awhile.

 

[Nineteen67]

Winnipeg is the much better team tonight. What a weird series

 

[Peasy]

So the team that scores first in game 7 goes on to win 74% of the time. In both of the game 7s against Boston the Leafs scored first... Typical Leafs man.

Scratch that Boston scored first in 2013.

Nah...Vegas is waiting for them in the WCF.

Not if Vegas has anything to say about it!

Bruins scored 1st in 2013.

I wish we got goaltending vs the Bruins like Hellebuyck gives the Jets though in the 2013 and 2018 Game 7’s

Sigh, this board is gonna be absolutely unbearable though if Laine wins the cup this year. It’s already unbearable enough just because the Jets went further than us.

 

[MSZ]

Nah...Vegas is waiting for them in the WCF.

Even if they go past Vegas next round, Tampa is going to destroy them. No worries.
