Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Icelevel]

TSN turning point


1-0 canes

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

good for Carolina. They won't be swept. That's something.

 

[Senscore]

Their conference finals futility streak was getting kind of ridiculous.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Impressive road win. Nice to keep the series alive and not give Florida a long break before the SCF.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Holy cow I thought the game count was a wind up.

Honestly thought he’d be at like, 500 games. Turns out he managed 440 with us, and he obviously left in 2019. Wow.

He was rushed to the NHL because we were a budget team who needed an internal solution on D.

He never played a full season in the AHL.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Probably not happening, but I'd love for the Canes to reverse sweep the Panthers.

 

[Beville]

Yeah no I remember him being rushed to be fair.

Just amazed how he played so much for us. Feel like he was literally here for about 2 seasons but clearly not!

 

[bicboi64]

C'mon Carolina, pull a reverse sweep

 

[bicboi64]

Svechnikov has 8 goals and 10 points with a +3 rating in 13 playoff games this postseason. He seems to be contributing nicely to Carolina's playoff run.

2 Points in 4 games in the ECF isn't good enough.

He had a good first two rounds, but he'll have to to be in the scoresheet if the Canes want to do the impossible.

 

[LiseL]

Never seen McDavid so confident, without any arrogance because he backs it up. He’s calm. It’s like he already knows he’s going to win the Cup, there’s nothing that can stop him

What's impressive with Oilers is 18 different goal scorers in these playoffs. Dallas isn't doing much 5v5. Last year, 46% of the Oilers production came from McDrai. Doesn't hurt that Kane is healthy, Hyman is just beastly. Hope Connor Brown can get back in the line-up, he's also been so good. Ekblad may return to the line-up next game. Drai being on the shut-down line has been very effective. I like the Oilers, hope they win it all.

 

[SanderSen]

Everyone in the media is very stoked about the Oilers and make it sound like the series is basically done even though it is only 2-1. Dallas is going to be very tough tonight.

Ekholm...but yes, they are better than last year.

 

[bicboi64]

Rantanen with a great defensive play on Janmark but he needs to get on the scoresheet

 

[Senscore]

3-1 Oilers with 2 and a half to play.


Oilers are in control of this series.

 

[bicboi64]

Stars forwards making Stuart look like a Vezina calibre goalie

 

[PlayOn]

If Brown and Hyman are out long-term those are some tough blows. Hyman didn’t look good.

Skinner has been great though which is a nice story.

Brown is in concussion protocol, but is ready and healthy. He cannot play this THU, but is allowed for a potential game 6

Nice hard-fought win from Edmonton. Calgary was my team before the Senators joined the league so it's not a bandwagon I can jump on, but at the same time, f*** Dallas and their zero-tax state pulling in all the good players.

 

[PatrickEaves]

They weren't.

 

[SanderSen]

They weren't.

For which I am happy, though the Stars carried the play for good chunks of the game. Skinner was good. I like the way the Oilers have clamped it down in the 3rd.

There were a couple times when the Oilers just had Dallas completely pinned in their end, and were moving the puck around with ease. Looked like a dominant PP but at 5v5.

If they redid the handshake line, the Panthers would tell the Leafs they were better than the Hurricanes. It’s about losing with respect in Toronto, not winning, that’s why it’s such a terrible place to play

Alberta is a Zero Sale Tax province if I’m not mistaken…

You have a point….. anything less than a Stanley Cup in Hog Town , is totally unacceptable to the fans….

...

...I'm going to try not to be snarky. Clearly I am referring to income tax, as that is what makes Texas an attractive destination for hockey players.
