Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[Seath The Scaleless]

Thats a 57 goal scorer coming free with an almost perfect shot over pads, under glove, just inside the post, yup. You gotta get that save to win, but that's not what I'd call a weak one, just a must have one. Thin line on the difference between the two.

They just showed the replay of the goal. Draisaitl's stick hit Reinhart's so it may have changed the trajectory of the shot. That can mess with the goalie for sure

why am I never surprised the Canadian team never wins.

That’s what you get for selling out dominance in the one sport you are good at to the USA because of $$$$$

None of the Canadian teams that have made a final since '93 have been a better squad vs their opponent IMO except for maybe 2011 Vancouver, but they were really banged up by the time the finals rolled around. Plus a prime Bergeron, Tim Thomas and Chara are nothing to scoff at and that core made 2 more finals over the rest of the decade plus multiple division and conference wins.

I really think oilers got quite a bit of puck luck and lucky bounces in their 3 wins while panthers got none at all.

tonight it seems oilers aren't getting any while panthers are at least based on 40 mins of play

Let's pray for an uneventful 3rd period

Oilers can't finish. They've had quite a few chances but can't put it in. Few loose pucks around the crease area, a post, and Draisaltl has missed a couple one-timers just off memory.

Draisaitl has not looked comfortable in these last 2 rounds. there has to be something going on with him.

Canucks were weak, sad

Draisaitl is definitely injured. The elephant in the room is that McDavid has been pretty ineffective in this game. He has one period to cement a legacy.

this was pathetic by the sedins and nucks IMO

Nah bro. Cheering for an Oilers win or some OT at the very least.

2011 canucks were probably better. The sens team was really stacked too but probably not better.

It just sucks we have one good thing and we have to “grow the game” and give up dominance in it. Don’t see the MLB or NFL opening teams in Barrie to “grow the game.”

Canadians are sadly mostly just America’s cucks on a political level and act like it’s a virtue.

Yeah it all started in game 4. Panthers hit the post twice on the PP and then Janmark had a gaping net but his shot was going wide (lol) and went off Barkov in for the SHG

Or he just isn't as good when he plays good teams...

I'd rather the Panthers score 2 quick ones and then it can be uneventful

 

[ruaware41]

I remember watching this shaking my head

Hyman's first goal was also going wide on a shot from the point by bouchard and then it hit his outer leg and the puck went in

then the offside call and missed too many men penalty on oilers etc.....

I was like did McDavid make a deal with a devil or what LMAO

 

[Jmo89]

Mcdavid with the tying goal so he can set up our boy Hyman in OT.

 

[ruaware41]

Or he just isn't as good when he plays good teams...

his career playoff stat line doesn’t suggest that

 

[saffronleaf]

pathetic and weak but at the same time ratty and divey too just an unsavory combination those canucks were tough to stomach

 

[notbias]

I don't know what it is against each team... but he generally struggles at 5v5 and produces a lot on the PP.

And yearly they play at least one bad team, not sure if he pads his stats there or not.

and then yman moons the florida crowd in homage to malthews

F overtime. I hate Monday night games.

 

[saffronleaf]

hoping florida doesn't choke game 7 leads in the third period like the leafs

 

[Jmo89]

He tacked on another 50 years to the Leafs drought.

Wouldn't this be Hyman's path to the Cup video? I think Stewart produced it.
