Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[jungles]

Over under on the time remaining on the clock before Minny goons it up if they are losing?

 

[ps241]

Watching Maurice succeed this evening is strangely satisfying. He is so into it.

Yea I enjoyed watching that. He and his team have the most successful regular season team on the brink.

 

[kanadalainen]

I would imagine there is some next level “clenching” going on in Boston about now.

not sure of the numbers , but if FLorida knocks off Boston, that has to be one of the biggest upsets ever.

Hypothesis: FLA would have the horses to whip Tranna.

Query: Would FLA have the horses to whip Tranna?

43 point regular season difference

I have learned to dislike Minnesota.

Hope they join us on the sidelines soon.

Dallas up 2

 

[kanadalainen]

I have learned to dislike Minnesota. Douchebag Hartman who has always been a cheap piece of shit, Fellasio who is the hyper hypo, Creed on the bench with the weird Fake tough guy glares. They play cheep hockey and think they are the victims . To top it off they pick up Reeves to goon it up when they already had team toughness.

Hope they join us on the sidelines soon.

Creed is certifiable. His mannerisms are a bit off the rails in my humble opinion.

With his patented vapid stare, Hartman makes my kitten look like an expert in differential calculus.

The Jets certainly could have used Paul "Mr.Clutch" Stastny in these playoffs. I was reviewing Stastny's playoff stats, and he has an impressive record in Game 7 match-ups, and series-clinching games. He came through at the right time to send the Hurricanes into the next round.

Seems like we aren't the only team that caves in elimination games. The Stars are drumming the Wild.

Ullmark certainly isn't playing like a Vexina Trophy goalie this series. I wonder if he will come through for Boston in Game 7.

 

[kanadalainen]

Good goal?

3 zip for Dallas over the troglodytes.

 

[bustamente]

Dallas scores with less than a second left in the second Dallas 3 Wild 0

I am sure Toronto would prefer Florida.

It's amazing how both 2000 expansion teams have never really done anything in the playoffs (aside from Minnesota improbable run in 2003). 23 years in existance, and one Conference Final appearance between the two teams to show for it. Most be frustrating for such a hockey rich state to watch their team constantly bounced from the playoffs in the first round.

Then again, they also have the VIkings, so they are accustomed to heartbreak.

I'd say no but I'd have said no shot against Boston either.

 

[kanadalainen]

This next game is huge for the Bruins

 

[ps241]

Stars are looking very good in the playoffs so far (cue the jinx post)

Ullmark certainly isn't playing like a Vexina Trophy goalie this series. I wonder if he will come through for Boston in Game 7.

Yea the series is pretty wild. Ullmark has not been sharp and the Bruins have not been playing their usual structured controlled game.

We've had a better 12 year run then them and a better run then a lot of teams during that stretch. I get that things aren't great now and we need change but sometimes I think the media go a bit overboard on the State of things. Calgary is a mess with a player vs coach War and a GM who walked out. Buffalo has the longest playoff drought in league history, Arizona is a joke etcc...

I get the criticism but the media isn't very quick to offer realisltic solutions.

Media and solutions go together like Ice Cream and Onions.

I've noticed a big difference in the two Alberta teams. Edmonton seems to be far more patient with coaches, management, and players. Unsure if this has to do with the lean years of 2007-16, but the mood here, is far more patient.

Calgary, OTOH, is far more fickle, and so are their fans. Yet, they never seem to go anywhere, only having two playoff series wins since 2004.

 

[BrokerD]

I am sure Toronto would prefer Florida.

I’m so torn.. I want Florida to beat Boston, but if the leafs make it out of round one, I want to see Boston knock them out!

 

[Jets4Life]

I wouldn't count the Lightning out just yet. Toronto is infamous for choking in the playoffs.

I mean that patience is only since Holland. Prior to that it was a revolving door of coaches and management.

Yea I am not counting Tampa out although I thought they looked like they were on the ropes until game 5.

Edmonton was more patient with coaches??

The difference between the Alberta teams is that one has had a ton of top draft picks and finally hit on one of them
