Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[ruaware41]

Man Hyman will drive the net consistently these days. Imagine if he was 6’4 with better puck control and hands

 

[Burnie97]

That player carrying them will be the 3rd highest paid player next year.

Yup... I'm disappointed too

You heard it here first. Edmonton is winning the cup.

I called it way back at the start of the second round and should have posted it then. Oh well.

Oilers are taking it this year. Book it

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Draisaitl knocking on the door of another 30+ point postseason and we got people over here adamant we have to pay Marner $12.5M for 3 points in 7 games.

Why even bother anymore

This is where I'm at too.

EDIT: I had a long post written about this topic here, but it's not worth it. They won't change their minds no matter what reasoning is used. Some people just don't care about the Cup.

 

[ruaware41]

just an insane deflection wow

 

[TheGreenTBer]

You know, part of me would be devastated to see the Oilers win the Cup since I hate them.

But you know what? That's what this organization f***ing deserves: embarassment.

 

[thewave]

Textbook EDM earned it

 

[Squiffy]

Meh, good for Edmonton, looking really strong. Didn't think they could hang this long, but taking it to the Stars fully couple in a row. Last one is hardest, lets see. Sunday game will be fun, please tell me its an evening game not some stupid 4pm TV market start.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oilers go on a deep run, get embarrassed in the CF, next year give the eventual Cup Champs their most competitive series, declare Cup or Bust, and are now a game away from the SCF. When the Leafs get embarrassed in the playoffs they inexplicably run it back and get embarrassed again and again and again and again.

We were all laughing at the Oilers for saying “Cup or Bust” then shitting the bed to start the year. No laughing now.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Bold strategy to show up for only 8 minutes of a hockey game lol

Maybe Dallas will put up a better fight on Sunday. (Doubt it)

 

[Jojalu]

If Edmonton wins we'll never hear the end of it. It'll be Montreal fans all over.

f*** sakes.

And take away one player and they're border line missing playoffs... yeah... I'll have some of you say I'm wrong but I don't care.

They have f***ing skinner in net.

If it ends up Florida and Edmonton...

It's Florida in 5 and I f***ing hate them.

I don't mind Edmonton but the fans out west... some of them... and I lived out there for a bit... brutal.

It's good to have the best players in the Finals.

Edm for all the flak they get, have played really well in their own end.

Most on here thought Dal would kill them. I don't think Florida will either.

Dallas still might win this series but Edm has only been knocked out by the Cup champs the past two years. They have been knocking for awhile

 

[TheGreenTBer]

You know what, I think I might be going full heel with this now out of spite.

The finals are likely to be Edmonton v.s. Florida. If that's the case, it's either a division rival that humiliated Team Grown Men last year, or a team with two stars that are actually stars (unlike our greedy social media darlings) followed by an insufferable fanbase that hates everything Toronto.

It looks bad on the Leafs either way tbh.

If the Oilers win the whole thing they will shit endlessly on Toronto and this org will deserve every single word.

Does HFLeafs deserve this in aggregate? Of course not. But the organization itself sure as shit does, and that backstabbing analytics fraud in Pittsburgh too.

Looking like another DeBoer masterclass.

Ekholm was a huge trade for them.

Ekholm was a huge trade for them.

Couldn't agree more.

He allows Bouchard to be Bouchard and has settled the whole d-corps down.

That's why the Flames fans are on their own website. I will definitely be gone for the entire summer to avoid those Edmonton fans.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

I hope the Oilers lay the boots to the Stars on Sunday.

I will never post on the main boards ever again lol.

I mean, I don't troll Oilers fans literally ever for any reason, I don't think I deserve to be shit on because I stupidly chose to cheer for the Leafs as a young kid in the early 90's just to piss off my Habs fan friend.

 

[Gallagbi]

Worst case Ontario would be a Florida-Edmonton final.

I'm interested to see what the ratings will be if it works out that way.

McDavid is the best player we've seen in 20 years, will likely play in the Cup finals, and I couldn't give less of a shit. Feels like a common sentiment too

I’m actually disgusted right now. I had Dallas winning the whole thing.

The Oilers were a joke. Now they’re in the conference finals for the 2nd time and one game from the finals.

I hate that I like the Leafs.

Oilers seem to have "it." Dallas is a damn good team though and they could easily rattle off two wins in a row, but Edmonton is driven and motivated right now and they all fully believe. It's admirable, but man it's a bloody shame it's Edmonton of all franchises.

Going up 3 - 2 is 80% odds right there.

I was quietly thinking to myself that if Edmonton killed off that 4 minute penalty to McDavid in OT vs Dallas they could very well win the cup.
