Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[PlayOn]

It's tricky. Was this an unusually lucky season for Montreal (with Boston & Rangers imploding opening up 2 unexpected playoff spots), or is this the real deal for them?

Time will tell.

They got a bit lucky but I don’t think it matters, their core is actually good.

I think generally once you have your stars it’s time to push forward. I actually don’t think Dorion had the wrong idea in general, just horrendous execution. Like are we complaining about the moves if he landed us a top line winger and top 4 RD that became key pieces? Probably not.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Wow, Florida handled Tampa without sweating. Who woulda thought we’d last longer than Tampa.

Florida looks like the team to beat again. They look great after struggling a little down the stretch, but got everyone back

Mathew Tkachuk playing injured? only played just over 10 mins tonight.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Hellebuyck sucks yo.

 

[bicboi64]

Kucherov did not produce in this series.

Was really hoping TBL -Florida could go to 7 so they could beat each other up.

 

[PatrickEaves]

Hellebuyck sucks yo.

Might be the biggest playoff choker in the league currently.

Let's just say it's not looking good for their next opponent.

And Vasi turned into a sieve.

The way the Panthers play I think they have a really good chance at going all the way again this season. They're just very good at playoff hockey

It helps when you don't get called when you commit penalties.

 

[aragorn]

The Habs are built for the regular season, not the playoffs.

 

[bicboi64]

TBL losing wasn't just Vasy, their forwards didn't score enough, and their D was meh. Still, pretty shite for them to lose in 5.

 

[Agent Zub]

Chychrun actually killing though

 

[Ouroboros]

Colorado not getting any stops from Blackwood. Playing circles around Dallas, but everything is going in their net.

 

[Senscore]

Stars f*** it up and lose on a spectacular own goal


Good lord

 

[ottawagm]

LA gave the series away on that bad clear last game.

Stars possibly gave it away by the craziest own goal. Why were you shrugging the puck towards your own net?

 

[bicboi64]

Edmonton scores 6 goals, and only one point from McDrai? Damn, LA really done messed up.

Wonder which Sens will end up at world championships now that the playoffs are done. Be nice to see players like Greig, Pinto, Zetterlund, Cozens etc getting an opportunity.

Greig has barely practiced in the last while, there is definitely something bothering him, so I doubt he'll end up going

He really drove the Pens into the ground.

 

[Masked]

He really drove the Pens into the ground.

Was it him or boy genius Kyle Dubas?

Well, obviously every coach has an expiry date, but I think they kept him for far too long.

Pittsburgh is a veteran team and I don't think he got the best out of them, and now he's going to another veteran team in New York.

I'm curious to see what happens. I don't know if you get the same kind of new coach bump as you do when you switch during the season.
