JMFJ is going to the Stanley Cup Finals.

The third goal Smith gave up was a back breaker. He seems to do that a few times every series. He plays with fire way too much.

For a big guy, Smith is such a shrinking flower on his extensions.

To be fair, how do you let Lekhonen get so open? Blown faceoff coverage.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Just allow people to say shit and f*** and anal rot and cat piss and whatever else you want on TV. It's 2022. Enough prudishness.

The Rangers sure did play like cat piss yesterday.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Anyone else catch Koharksi saying Holy Shit during the review?

Against Tampa, it could go either way. Against us? Avs in five. We just don’t match up well with them.

I believe it's the other way around. Tampa will get ran off the rink.

Against Tampa, it could go either way. Against us? Avs in five. We just don’t match up well with them.

Addendum: their goals are from pure speed. We give away plenty of odd man rushes as it is. I can’t imagine what it’d be like against them.

Disagree.

Lots of chinks in that armor.

Does COL touch the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl?

They touch it.

 

[I Eat Crow]

They touched it.

Sakic is botoxed

Superstition is stupid. Touch the f***ing trophy.

 

[Bob Richards]

I will say that I am going to miss Mike Smith some day.

He's one of the true agents of chaos in all sports. He can have great performances. He can give up 19 goals on 5 shots. He can make amazing passes from his own crease. He can look like the goalie version of a beanie propeller hat at a moments notice.

He is the only Mike Smith in a league that currently has two Sebastian Ahos.

All hail a true king.

Sakic is botoxed

Needs to call Sy Sperling next.

 

[ElLeetch]

So, we're at least Bronze Medal now?

 

[Kane One]

Good goal, looked under the bar.

The bar doesn’t matter since it didn’t go directly in.

This case it’s over the shoulder, which I wanna see another replay of since I wasn’t paying attention.

Sakic is botoxed

I met him in the delta club this year (Huska game, ouch). He's a beautician.

 

[CasusBelli]

Disagree.

Lots of chinks in that armor.

I certainly hope so. I think we lost 7-4 to them this season — and I just remember thinking “thank goodness we play each other only twice each season.”

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Colorado 12-2 in playoffs. They are going to be well rested going into final.

 

[CasusBelli]

I believe it's the other way around. Tampa will get ran off the rink.

Why do you say that? I feel Tampa could set the tone and shift playing styles; I think we tend to play the system regardless of the circumstances. It generally (overwhelming) works out for us. But it can also be a hindrance — which I think is the case with the Avs.

 

[Kane One]

Just watched a quick replay and it looked like a high stick. But it’s not like Edmonton wouldn’t have lost this series anyway, so whatever.

 

[Kords]

Smith would of been better off letting that high stick go in, lmao

 

[CasusBelli]

Holy shit Makar is tiny.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Watching that replay again, Edm was hosed once more on a controversial call. Clearly played that with a stick above the shoulder.

 

[ThirdEye]

I certainly hope so. I think we lost 7-4 to them this season — and I just remember thinking “thank goodness we play each other only twice each season.”

Check the goalie who played for us that game
