Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[fahad203]

This organization managed to draft some skill players for once and became so overzealous that they overpaid drastically. Marner is an 8 - 8.5 million dollar player, the same as Nylander. Matthews shouldn't be in the same pay bracket as McDavid and Mackinnon. Leaf fans aren't stupid, we know that we are paying more for less.

Everyone we compared Matthews and Marner to around the league has outstaged all our players

Last year Eichel. Who was above points per game player. Won a Stanly cup

Barkov this year and last year
Broeser

It's always other teams stars comes through, except for ours

I didn't want to embarass myself by talking about Mack, Drai and McJesus

We should never again talk down about other teams stars

I prefer results over "effort".

Canucks vs Oilers is pond hockey.

it’s horrible to watch compared to all the other series.

that powerplay is lethal

 

[TheTotalPackage]

There is absolutely no reason why the Leafs' powerplay can't and shouldn't be as automatic as the Oilers'. My goodness is that Oilers PP clinical.

I always feels like posters like this and dekes have some insecurity they are taking out on forum members thinking we are all dumbass low iq jocks who failed grade 9 algebra. I remember when this guy said I was "surprisingly" right when I noticed an intricacy about some stat he was posting. Like no man, I work with spreadsheets all day and have taken courses on statistics - I just don't think over reliance on it the way these guys do is the way to build a successful team and after staring at numbers all day at work the last thing I want to do is to do some more of that when unwinding with a hockey game. Like for the Domi and Bert point ... Domi was the best/second best player for us in terms of impact in the post season. To judge him based on a per 60 stat in the regular season in contrast to other players with a similar contract doesn't explain why they paid him what they did in the first place.

We don't have Bouchard. That point shot changes everything

They have to come out to take that shot away. In out case everyone just focuses on Matthews and wingers. Nobody is afraid of Reillys shot

It'll be interesting to see how far this rope a dope strategy the Canucks are doing can take them in the playoffs. Feels like they've been outplayed in most of their games so far.

Good. Just want Boston and Edmonton out and then I don’t care who wins.

I can't stand the Canucks. Sooner they return to mediocrity the better

The PP was elite with Barrie as well though in 2021

Mcdavid, & Draisaitl at better at every facet of hockey on the PP then Mcdavid and Marner

Hyman and Nuge also better than Nylander and Tavares on the PP

Mikheyev is the definition of a cardio merchant.

Common trend with Dubas depth players. Mikheyev, Jarnkrok, Engvall. All basically the same player who don't really do anything out there.

 

[weems]

Kane just got wrecked

 

[mcleex]

I would send Vancouver a trade proposal for Silovs

 

[blue stick]

my lord, that Zadorov has a big melon. looks like he's wearing a child's helmet

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Keep smirking little bitch. Get stuffed then take the even up call. Wrecked!!

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Edmonton is an unlikeable team. Kane trying to play it cool there after getting dumped into the bench was hilarious. I am probably in the minority, but I can't stand McDavid.

Cute little kick from Kane there as well.

 

[1specter]

Oilers aren't winning shit with Skinner and that defense.

It’s always the same stupid look when they get a penalty call too. “Who meeeee?!?!”

The only reason they’re anywhere at all is piss poor reffing and the fact they get to shoot on the worst goalies in the playoffs every year.

How is this even close? Canucks have a third string goalie in net.

Their run of good fortune will end in round 3 max.

Cause Edmonton is dog shit and does next to nothing outside of score on gifted PP opportunities.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Another poorly officiated game. They let so much go and then Nurse gets a soft call, followed up by random penalties on the Zadorov/Kane play.

Maybe, maybe not. Either way NYR or Florida take them down. The cup is in the East this year no doubt about it

At least it’s trash both ways and not 6 mins of blatant missed PP time for Vancouver (game 2).
