Around the League: You Like Mammoth?

The Oilers back to the final again. Maybe an easier road than last year because the Stars don’t have Tanev to help stop McDavid. Stars were not good in this series outplayed for long stretches.

Eh, they are in pretty tough against Vegas. At this point I feel like Vegas is gonna be back in the finals now.

 

[Nuckles]

The Dallas Stars are the first team in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to be trailing by multiple goals in the 3rd period of a Game 7 but win in regulation.

Vegas looked slow, old and just okay against a very average Wild team.

9-0 for DeBoer in Game 7. Insane stat.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

That was the sickest wrap around I've ever seen.


Edit:

In a crowded place. Just realized it went off a skate. Still great lol

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

realized in the handshake line, matt duchene’s revenge too

 

[mriswith]

Hahahahahahahahjaah Avs. Of course it's Rantanen.

I remember when everyone thought Avs were just starting a decade of dominance when they won their cup and I kept reminding everyone that their cap advantage was actually ending and it would get way harder for them.

 

[arttk]

Coronato deal is interesting.
Drury taking the penalty at 2-2 was kind of hilarious too.

Basically self own for the Avs.
Necas does shit
Drury takes a dumb penalty that led to the series ending goal
Rantanen with the 4 point knife twist

and they sacrificed the future for this years run. now they have nothing.

Playoff Rantanen is a beast and the casuals on the main board who claimed that Colorado did the right thing have shown how little they know about hockey.

Mikko Rantanen

I was screaming at the TV that was one of the best goals ever then saw on the replay it went off a skate... Still crazy great goal

Im not invested in either team but man o man that was one insanely entertaining third period. Love the game of hockey for games like that...

I called it then too. Mac was earning $6.3M on that sweetheart contract. The minute he got paid his real value the team would have to sacrifice something.

Will be interesting to see if Bednar is fired. Would be an awesome coach to have.

He is a shit coach and a copy of Disco Dan. Won a cup with an all time stacked team and did f*** all after that with a great team. I'd rather have Rick back than this dude.

I think so too.

In the east, FLA is still favoured, but I think there's a better chance they get knocked out by one of the remaining teams.

WSH should be able to do it.

9-0 for DeBoer in Game 7. Insane stat.

He gets clowned a lot but he is clutch in game 7.

He’s good at coaching a rush based offense and he’s had a hand in developing some great players like nichushkin, lehkonen, and toews. don’t think he’s a perfect coach, but it would be interesting to see what he’d be able to do for petey’s game.

 

[me2]

Every Avs player shooting daggers to Joe Sakic tonight.

Maybe they should have defended the 2 0 lead.

He is not good at all. They have an insanely talented and fast team. It's not a product of his coaching but the players. Dude could not do anything other than the year where he had a team with 2 first lines and 2 second lines like it was build in games like NHL2K.

 

[Rotang]

How can you not feel romantic about playoff hockey? Nothing else like it. Legendary performance from Rantanen.

i only watched the third but oettinger looked like vintage demko

so big and pucks just hit him and got absorbed, no fuss no muss

 

[Bubbles]

He gets clowned a lot but he is clutch in game 7.

Definitely has some lucky charms.

Ehhh.. dallas and vegas aint just cast asides with oilers

They also have goaltending

Dallas has 2 1d...

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

You just knew Rantanen was going to come up big.

I’d say a hatty to win Game 7 is pretty damn big.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Definitely has some lucky charms.

Man, every hot girl these days looking like she stole someone else's lips
