GDT: Around the League - Stanley Cup Final Edition - #1

That same Florida team that will be in our division along with Boston and TB. Can you say Wildcard or Kyle you are fired ??

wildcard will probably come down to Leafs vs Habs in game 82, winner gets it. and Leafs will choke

 

[Menzinger]

You are right. Ironically the Leafs had a bad playoffs and are expected to have a good regular season whereas the Habs had a great playoffs and many expect them not to make the playoffs next year.

Florida however seems to be trending up. They will get Ekblad back, Bennett for the whole season, Bob and Knight should give them solid goaltending and they have coach Q. We'll see.

I think Florida has a good team. I'm expecting them to make the playoffs next year.

 

[TMLeafer]

Anyone hear what Elliott saying about Yanni Gourde and the Leafs in the pregame?

Edit: just went back on Sportsnet now.
Undrafted from Q, signed AHL with Syracuse and in 2017 Calder Cup beat Marlies, he was a UFA and Elliott thinks Toronto wanted to sign him before Yzerman swooped in.

Not that interesting I guess.

 

[mcleex]

Man Kotkaniemi is one ugly MFer. Imagine having to look at that face 82 games a year

 

[PromisedLand]

Cooper continues to line match meanwhile Keefe stayed status quo. Keefe pisses me OFF

 

[leafsfan5]

Wow, John Cooper is actually using home ice to his advantage and getting the top line away from Danault so he can set them up for as much success as possible

What a crazy idea

metro is pretty solid too man. wildcard is not gonna be that easy

metro got: caps, pens, canes, rangers, isles

also probaby not popular opinion but i think sens are gonna be a threat all year long. I think they improve quite a bit next season

Who else is watching? Regardless of shot totals, looks like Tampa is dominating again.

 

[7even]

This Montreal powerplay makes ours look like the 2009 Washington Capitals

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Tampa didn't look too great. Gave up a lot of odd man chances, which is how Montreal scores most of their goals

Thankfully, they have the best goalie in the game.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

yes but the habs are getting a lot of odd man rushes from Tampa turnovers. if they keep this up, the habs will capitalize. tampa needs to be better IMO, especially since it looks like Price is on his game.

edit: Seath beat me to it.

I’m not counting the Habs out, Price looks to be in the zone tonight, so does Vas…….

 

[hamzarocks]

Why does Tampa only have 6 shots to Habs 13.

Come on Bolts blow out the Habs

 

[leafsfan5]

Yea this series is probably over

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Does Tampa want Montreal to tie it? They've been bad lol

 

[Ignatius Reilly]

Yea this series is probably over

I don't see that.

Tampa's up by a goal - no big deal. Somebody had to score first.

Meanwhile Mtl is way ahead in shots.

I'd call it pretty much even so far. Still very early.

 

[socko]

I get home. Turn the TV on. Beachball goal on Vasilevski less than a minute later.

 

[1specter]

Would be nice if TB woke the f*** up.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Tampa looks like hot garbage. geez.

Yeah my take went to shit quite rapidly haha

Still don’t know how MTL wins this series though, they’ll need 4 of 6 against the best team in hockey. It’s 1-1 and Tampa is asleep so Habs need to capitalize here

 

[saffronleaf]

wowwww

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Two future leafs connecting on a huge goal!

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

wow what a goal by Tampa

 

[Stephen]

It’s not enough that Tampa’s just winning. What’s important to me is it’s done in a backbreaking way!

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

now all Tampa has to do is shut the Habs down for 20 mins like they did the Islanders in game 7.
