Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Should I throw my cashout winnings on the Oilers

Y or N

Florida is enforcing their forecheck pretty well right now. But I don't know how long they can sustain this.

Their defense has been getting massively exposed.

 

[thewave]

This shift brought to you by Hyman

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Ekblad is terrible. Zero awareness that a guy was behind them

 

[Squiffy]

Seems clear to me that the Oil have cloned McDavid, placed a Janmark mask on the clone and have said clone playing this game. Greasy move.

I don’t care how good Skinner is I’d hate having him as a starting goalie on my favourite team. He has to be the worst at handling the puck behind the net among NHL goalies right now. feels nervous every time he touches the puck.

I know. He is almost as bad as Nurse back there

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Bouchard off the outside of the post, woof.

Also f*** this Scotiabank commercial, hate that stupid song they play.

 

[mcleex]

Imagine how good Rielly would be if he had half the shot Bouchard does

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Their defense has been getting massively exposed.

Maurice with zero adjustments. They've been giving up breakaways all playoffs, especially this series and vs NYR. But they continue to be overly aggressive in the neutral zone for some reason

I was just reading about that today as well. It be Leafs putting Mitch Marner in the pressbox because they want to win.

View attachment 886393
Toronto’s Gordie Drillon (left), head coach Hap Day and Bucko McDonald in the dressing room at Maple Leaf Gardens during 1941-42 training camp. Day would bench both veterans with Toronto down 3-0 in the 1942 Stanley Cup Final.

Bitterly disappointed, Smythe ordered his coach to shake up the roster for Game 4.

Day stunned hockey by benching Gordie Drillon, who had led team in scoring during the the regular season, and putting Don Metz on the top line with his brother, Nick, and captain Syl Apps.

Battleship defenseman Bucko McDonald was pulled in favor of rookie Ernie Dickens, who had all of 10 NHL games under his belt, none in the postseason.

The Maple Leafs’ plight -- indeed, their imminent demise -- delighted many.

And then Toronto goalie Walter Turk Broda trotted out the derisive nickname that had been given to Toronto in the late 1800s for its pork- and meat-packing industry, an insult that was “intended to convey an impression that the citizens of Toronto were porcine in their tendencies and had their forefeet in anything worth having,” according to an 1898 Toronto Globe and Mail editorial.

“Hogtown makes its last stand Sunday night!” Walter exclaimed.

Detroit jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead in Game 4, Olympia Stadium fans expecting a championship sweep. But the new-look Maple Leafs tied it 2-2, surrendered the lead again, then scored twice in the third to win 4-3 and send the series back to Toronto.

hogtown - lmao

I'm sorry but why the f*** do they let anyone to ask questions on the bench during a game 7 for the cup.

Maybe I'm old school but I'd be like... go away.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Zatch Hyman triple OT winner?

 

[thewave]

EDM looks like they hit the wall.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Panthers need to hit the f***ing net. Wasting these glorious chances

 

[TMLegend]

Oilers don't look great. Not sure if it's nerves or what but they're playing sloppy, nowhere near where they were leading to game 7.

 

[socko]

Florida style of game. McDavid not a factor.

 

[Torontonian]

Fairly even period. Edm had some good o-zone and some good chances, same with FLA... Panthers need to start putting these open chances away though.

 

[ruaware41]

My stream is in Spanish. This is amazing

hit the gym to get BUFF and then find a STREAM.

focus on the capitals.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

If you're Edmonton, you'll gladly take that period. You knew Florida was gonna come out flying after that awful start in game 6

They did a good job weathering the storm.

 

[1specter]

Interesting battle. Florida has largely controlled possession, but this is a tough style to maintain for 60+ minutes and puts a lot of pressure on the D and Bob due to the risk of counter odd man rushes. Feels like Florida needs to be perfect whereas Edmonton just needs a couple of breaks. Oilers have also done a good job of taking away the slot and prime scoring chances.

 

[ruaware41]

Montour or Brown game winner kind of night.

 

[1specter]

Montour or Brown game winner kind of night.

Or if you're a sadist, Corey Perry.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Montour or Brown game winner kind of night.

Former Leaf with the GWG. Brown, Hyman, Verhaeghe, or Rodrigues

 

[ruaware41]

Or if you're a sadist, Corey Perry.

Perry is one of the few players I’ve met (at a Service Ontario of all places lol) so hard to hate despite the Tavares hit
