Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

[Psycroptic86]

Florida's gonna get a nice long break before the finals, only making it harder for whichever team meets them there.

Rest is a weapon

When Greig grabbed Marner and swung him to the ice and Marner went rag doll rhat was the end of anything good Marner was going to do in the playoffs - sure he drew a penalty but the NHL saw what a wimp Mitch is and after that he never got another call in the playoffs because the Refs saw what a wimp he was and he hadn’t changed his stripes and Marner continued being a wuss all playoffs until he was yelling at his own bench.

I know it was a dumb penalty for Greig to take, but it showed the entire hockey world Marner was trying to flop his way to a Cup and make the refs do it for him instead of doing it himself, and the NHL and more importantly the Refs will never ever ever let that happen

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[Mingus Dew]

Hurricanes should be banned from the playoffs for 5 years.

 

[bicboi64]

If MTkachuk goes after any of our guys like he did with Aho, I hope every guy on our roster takes a knuckle to MTkachuk's face.

Not seeing Staal or Burns beat the shit out of MTkachuk after his gesturing "we remember Reinhart" was annoying as much as it is crunchy for MTkachuk to do.

They're the same size too.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Carolina used up all their good luck in their 2006 Cup win.

We had Hasek injured before we could have played them, Buffalo had half their defence injured, and in the finals Roloson got injured in game 1. Canes were a good team then but got ridiculously lucky with opponents' injuries.

 

[aragorn]

Mikkola has turned into quite the player, he should get a pretty big raise this summer. Wasn't Mikkola in a commercial on a mountainside somewhere? MIKKOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

 

[Senscore]

Oilers continuing where they left off.

 

[Wallet Inspector]

He has his problems defensively but damn, Bouchard is clutch offensively come playoff time.

 

[bicboi64]

Robertson needs to stop loafting and step up to be the game breaker her can be. Rantanen can't take on Edmonton's offense on his own

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Not surprised that Edmonton is beating the Aho-Merchant.

 

[Senscore]

Shutout broken.


Which means Skinner is about to let in 4 more goals

 

[Ouroboros]

McDavid is not going to be denied.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Robertson needs to stop loafting and step up to be the game breaker her can be. Rantanen can't take on Edmonton's offense on his own

He's not really a playoff player. Extremely smart and a skilled sniper, but he's slow and has never been a high energy guy.

It honestly wouldn't shock me if Dallas traded him in the off-season to shed some cap and shore up the rest of their roster.

 

[Senscore]

Robertson missed the first round with an injury. Can't imagine he's anywhere close to 100%

I suppose we can take him off their hands for a 2nd and a small plus.

 

[Senscore]

Oilers running away with it now.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I suppose we can take him off their hands for a 2nd and a small plus.

Maybe Batherson+

Would save them 2.8M next year and around 4-5M the following year, assuming Robertson gets 9-10M on a long-term extension this summer.

 

[Ouroboros]

Had the Oilers not collapsed in the 3rd period in game 1 both Conference Finals would be 3-0 now. Neither series appears to be remotely close.

The rematch is pretty much locked in.

 

[Senscore]

I don't think the Oilers are a team of destiny but they sure look like a team on a mission.

 

[Icelevel]

Skinner actually looking like the better goalie.
He gets a ton of criticism

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

The rematch is pretty much locked in.

Let's hope the end result is the same as the first time.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Alberta Separatists vs MAGA Chuds.

What a matchup.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Had the Oilers not collapsed in the 3rd period in game 1 both Conference Finals would be 3-0 now. Neither series appears to be remotely close.

The rematch is pretty much locked in.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Dallas. My guess is they win next game and it's a whole new series.
