Around the league part 2

[Bandit]

by which team?

Both.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Nice way to start this game.

 

[bouncesonly]

Moneypuck had FLA with a 23% chance to sweep before the start of game 3, and TOR a 25% to make a comeback.

Can't wait to see the odds after this game.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I'd like to know how they killed 11 of 13 pp in the regular season against them,including going 6/6 in one game , then went 4/13 in the playoffs. What changed?

Thats a damn good question. The same system looks to be in place - not sure about the personnel.

tHEY ACtually played their 2nd unit in those games

Oilers 1st unit doesn't com eoff the ice in the playoffs

In the history of NHL, teams who’ve taken a 3-0 lead in a best of 7 series hold an all-time series record of 199-4.

I do wonder who's part of that 4!

 

[johnjm22]

0-3 Series Comebacks:

Leafs 1942
Islanders 1975
Flyers 2010

And there was one other one but I can't remember who it was.

 

[bouncesonly]

Bet that scrub 4th team probably got bounced in the next round.

Considering all the praise Bergeron gets, it's interesting he's been part of some of the biggest choke jobs in NHL history.

Had it not been for 2011, that Bruins core would basically be considered Sharks East.

Crazy how important that Nathan Horton goal has turned out in hindsight.

 

[ZJames]

A valuable lesson can be learned from Toronto fans: Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.

Ehh. It was pretty important at the time too, no?

When you score that fast, you don't need a 2nd unit.

Yes. It's just gotten bigger with every subsequent playoff loss.

They kind of are. They seems to be a good playoff team year after year , yet never finish the job. They should've had a least one more cup since 2011, even without Tim Thomas carrying the team.

 

[CowMix]

Just think of their obnoxious, entitled fanbase. That should help.

If the Oilers win the cup there will immediately be a post on the main boards "With how much the refs were against them are the 2023 Oilers the best hockey team to ever touch the ice?"

 

[kingsfan28]

4-0 Seattle. Dallas did not show up. Only 7 shots halfway through the game.

 

[BringTheReign]

Seattle ain't f***ing around. Love it.

 

[jgs]

Seattle ain't f***ing around. Love it.

The Kraken are for real. 4 lines rolling all on the same page and real good goaltending.

 

[Herby]

NJ went with Luke with their backs against the wall and he played very well. He’s probably in for good now.

Of course this never would have happened in LA. Hughes would have been assigned to the Reign and not getting a chance over Walker, Edler and Durzi, and even if there had been injuries he would have been behind guys like Moverare and Bjornfot, that is how the Kings operate.

It’s just unbelievable that a team that did what the Kings have done the last 12 months with trading future pieces to win now was worried about an ELC expiring multiple years down the road.

Maybe when Blakey, Muzz and Nelly talk with Pravda over the summer someone can ask them if they still believe only generational players don’t need AHL time. But I’m not holding my breath.

This guy has to be on the short list. You know they wont sign Gav.. get it done.

You’re ruining my enjoyment of the Leafs failures by reminding me of the Kings failures.

 

[AbsentMojo]

These playoffs are more like March Madness than any hockey playoff I can remember

 

[ru4reals]

Looks like there's going to be a massive housecleaning up in Toronto. LOL. And wouldn't be one bit suprised if we see Kraken/Oilers in the Conference finals. Crazy.
