Haha, you really are a tool aren't you? Picking out one comment from a message board immediately following a playoff loss. Have you noticed that this board was wide ranging opinions on just about everything Kings related? I can find you someone who sings TMac's praises and someone else who wants him fired immediately. You just have some weird hate boner for Sutter, but I won't even bother discussing this with you anymore when a random fan comment is your entire premise for calling Sutter a bad coach. Multiple cup wins? Multiple division banners? Finalist for the Jack Adams? Nah, none of that matter when some rando on the Flames board says he is bad.

Correctly identified Gibson as the best goalie to ever play the game.

Great quotes at every presser. What more can you ask for in a coach?

McDavid is going to be wearing Kadri like a cheap suit. At least that's my guess.

Or Kadri will be stopping McDavid with a cheap shot.

He's gonna feel his stick in his ribs after every draw. The Avs will hit him , just like the Kings did. He took it, but you could tell he didn't like it at all. Kaliev may have had the best hit on him in the playoffs, knocking him right on his ass... who'd have thought that?

For sure, as heaven-tier as he's been, he's still been rattle-able. Dude truly believes he should not be touched, and somehow Edmonton fans always fall for his grab-opponents-stick, throw-shoulder-back move and the refs keep biting on it as a hook instead of a stick hold.

He's mostly fighting through it instead of looking to the refs to save him to his credit but I agree, he's had the same attitude going back to the very first meeting of the season when he boarded Kempe after Kempe wouldn't just 'give' him the ice.

I am wondering who on the Avs (perhaps Landeskog) could have a "Henrik Sedin meet Dustin Brown" moment with McDavid.

Landeskog, Kadri, Rantanen, Nuke, Avs are no doubt a skill team but they have no shortage of guys who can play in the sand

I'm actually interested to see how Makar fares, he's maybe the only dman other than Doughty I'd like vs. McDavid and he's an excellent skater

Carolina fans ripping their PP. But they have so many good young offensive players, who actually score. And Rod the Bod as coach. Look at that career record.

Seems like the King's. Forechecking style team struggles making the Kopi pass to Kempe that everyone knows is coming. Just simplify. 1 pass, quick shot on net & crash might be more effective.

Best final four in years. All teams are led by stars and put on a good show.

Not having to watch a fluke team play mistake free hockey all the way to the finals gives me hope the league is getting better.

Plus Jake Trouba is just wrecking fools, glad I get to see if that continues.

I think Makar is the best d-man to face McDavid, including drew.
Up front the teams top 6 is pretty even (and given that is all Edmonton plays that is all that should be focused on). Makar is the difference maker in this series for me.

Two best goalies in the league going head to head on one side, and two best forwards in the league on the other.

I know NYR rangers possession numbers are not great, and lord knows where they would be without their goaltender, but Gallant is such a stud coach. Gets the shaft in Florida, and in Vegas. He is a guy I would cheer for.

I havent followed what happened to him in FL or Vegas - can you give me a quick rundown? I always thought he was a solid coach plus he looks fierce
