Playoffs are more fun with the Penguins in it, especially if the other choice is the Islanders lol

I refuse to believe he can amass that amount of points without Mcdavid. I also refused to vote for him for the ASG. Its the little things that keep me going.
Its fun watching them potentially miss but yeah, the piles are going to bore us to death.

Pens have a better chance of knocking off Boston imo which isn't a bad thing for anybody.

McDavid and Leo help each other but Leo is a very good player in his own right. I have seen that in non NHL tournaments.

It's really not. You can say, perhaps, that they selected the wrong player but this "can't develop" prospects nonsense is just that. Nonsense.
Lias didn't fare better elsewhere. He's been in LA longer than he was in NY and has managed to play LESS.
Kravtsov, same thing.
Lundkvist hasn't played in weeks.
The only guy that's gone on and actually progressed is Morgan Barron.

Linus Ullmark just put up the highest Goals Saved Above Average this century. Before this century, your starters played 54, 55 games minimum, so it's not a fair comparison.
Regardless, of 15 entries ahead of him, 12 were by Hall of Famers and four of them are Dominik Hasek.
If you ever wanted to know what peak Hasek on a good team looks like, here it is. It's 64+ wins. The Bruins have won 40 of his 48 starts.
At the same time, that's kind of my concern with the Bruins. Goaltending can just stop being there on a dime. Ullmark has played two playoff games and got lit up in both of them.
With the very capable Jeremy Swayman in goal, they're going at a 51-win pace.
I'm curious how Boston will fair in the playoffs, they went for that record, and a lot of their forward core are in their mid to upper 30's. I think they know this could be their last run, maybe one more after this.

I dont hate the team of Jersey. I hate the fans.
For everyone else, I despise both the fan base and team. Tampa fans have become obnoxious as well

Goaltending in a single series has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with who's hot and cold.
We have no indication which one of those guys is gonna be hot.
I would say the Islanders have a better chance based on goaltending over two or three rounds, but goaltending is a glorified coin flip in a single round.
Even Hank had rounds where he completely shit himself and he's the most consistent goaltender of all-time.

Saw that Crosby went after Tyler Johnson for no reason after he scored the EN goal. What a bitch.

Hacked the f*** out of him all the way up the ice. I guess he’s frustrated. Poor guy.

I can't believe there are people that don't have the isles as their most hated team. Maybe it's a generational thing. Their fan base is annoying AF.

Isles followed by the Devils are the top 2 of my list with nobody else close.
I'm praying the Habs somehow beat them tonight and the Pens win tomorrow. f*** the Isles.
well it depends are they gonna get more sweetheart deals like Bergeron and Krejci gave them? If so they still have a good defense and good goaltending.

D'oh!
I think for me, the hatred for the Islanders was really high during the dark ages of the late 90s/early 00s, and it's tapered down a little now. Mainly because the Islanders are a boring team now.
When Philly is actually good, they take the cake as far as most annoying fan base, and it's not even close. I know too many arrogant Philly fans, so I enjoy seeing them suffer right now.

Sorokin hasn't beaten them all year. Boston OWNS him.
My deep, passionate HATRED for the Islanders never goes away.

I think it's bc the Isles are a boring team with no snarl for a while now. Back in the day, it was fierce competition.
They'll always have a place in my heart for hatred but man, it's definitely not the same. Some of you younger peeps missed out. Rangers have a better rivalry with the Caps now.

You might be the only guy on the planet that's taking Jarry over Sorokin. That's saying something lol.

Another example of a 40-60 point guy having a career year and getting overpaid and term.
I'd rather have Trocheck, especially in the 2nd season.

Can I use one of the sports books to bet on Bitch Goring lamenting like a grief-stricken Italian grandmother if the Isles lose?
