Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

This is getting so tiresome.

The ignore button is your friend.

Seems Huberdeau is a good player, but not one who is built for the playoffs, whereas Tkachuk is tailor-made for that type of game.

Need some Calgary fans to weigh in on this comment. Flames must be seething, and their province is on fire.(ironically )

 

[cbcwpg]

I gotta ask...

What do we all think about Paul taking the struggling Presidents Trophy 8th place Panthers to the Western Conference Finals?

Multiple Choice:

A) It's Luck.

B) Coaching Strategy.

C) Having a Roster with Heart that that Pushes Back.

D) BOB

C.... without question, but some of D

Yeah, plus I’ve been browsing the main board Leafs vs Panthers thread and basking in all the salt, and, well, as an unintended side effect to this I’ve read some Panthers fans give some explanations for their team’s improved postseason play, and many suggest it’s actually Tkachuk who has done more to help with that.

Seems Huberdeau is a good player, but not one who is built for the playoffs, whereas Tkachuk is tailor-made for that type of game.

Which is pretty interesting actually as Tkachuk was a consistient no show in the playoffs for Calgary. Guess he fits better in Florida.

He was also saddled with Johnny Regular Season Hockey who is generally a no show come playoff time.

 

[DRW204]

its not so much that Florida has bought into Pomo s style of coaching, its they have bought into Tkachuks style of hockey.

Bobrovsky is also having an outstanding series with a 0.940. shades of helle vs EDM.

Its interesting how Seattle keeps winning despite not having their leading scorer in the lineup, when Schief went down here the team basically packed it in!

yup.

and folks are so quick to move on from scheifele & dump him... we're 1-7 in the POs+Play-Ins with 11 GF w/o him. i haven't seen a collective effort of this team stepping up.

 

[cbcwpg]

Listening to the Leafs talk, but a lot of similar issues to the Jets... core is not a playoff core, core needs to be changed, can't just keep rolling it back and expecting different results, question of character, question of some player size......

 

[Buffdog]

yup.

I think people wanting to dump him has more to do with his perceived attitude than his production

He scored 42 this year (despite vanishing for stretches)... it's hard to want to dump a guy that did that

I would agree.

In the past Tkachuk has maybe been wired a bit too tight at times and he can cross the line and take his team out of a game or a series. This post season so far he has been a man on a mission and he has set the tone for the team. Making his Messier"esk" "we will be back here for game 7" comment after winning game 5 in Boston was ballsy. Yes that shit is 50-50 to backfire on you but this post season its having the intended effect. He and his line took over the Boston series and he has been a force in this series too.

 

[Guffman]

Team	Last time won a single game in Round 2
Toronto Maple Leafs	2004​
Buffalo Sabres	2007​
Arizona Coyotes	2012​
Detroit Red Wings	2013​

It's a pretty massive game on Wednesday, May 10. Toronto Maple Leafs have another opportunity to finally win a game in Round 2 for the first time since 2004.

No doubt, Buffalo Sabres 2006-2007 alumni, like Daniel Brierre and Teppo Numminen, will be watching Wednesday's game closely.

whatever the reason for moving him is - we have been abysmal w/o him in the POs. the OP was talking about how SEA has played well w/o Mccan in comparison to us w/o Schefiele.

can you fix the attitude? and given the absence of adequate replacements internally, as well as a weak UFA-C group this team will miss scheifele a lot i think.

That's a penalty.

 

[razorsedge]

The other thing that's absolutely hilarious is how pumped Toronto fans were for Florida to beat Boston........

Reminds of two years ago. Leafs up 3-1 on Canadiens, and come back to win the series. We all celebrated facing the Habs in the 2nd round. Well, we saw how that turned out for us.

Moral of the story, be careful for what you wish for.

 

[Guardian17]

you want to watch around 2 hour 57 mark.



19 years with no wins in the second round

That was enjoyable!

Thanks for posting!

The Oh No and grabbing his headphones was priceless

 

[kanadalainen]

why weren’t the players “all in” last year? What changed this year?

Oh Oh PICK ME

Decent coach?

Matthew Tkachuk. Bobrovsky not collapsing.

 

[Channelcat]

The Tkachuk factor has been huge for Fla. That's a ballsy team. Verhaeghe, Barkov, Bennett, Gudas....those guys are nails. But, you can't get anywhere without goaltending which had been a huge issue all year, and that seems resolved (for now).

 

[kanadalainen]

Not just that.

Toronto is afraid of Gudas and Bennett. As in look over your shoulder afraid.

 

[AlphaLackey]

*ding ding ding ding* there's the winning answer.

 

[DRW204]

Matthew Tkachuk. Bobrovsky not collapsing.

also last year's Vas vs Samsonov/Woll

 

[Frendlygiant]

If this were to happen I fear I would never hear the end of it till the day I die. Truly the darkest timeline.

 

[Jets 31]

Not just that.

Toronto is afraid of Gudas and Bennett. As in look over your shoulder afraid.

Buff wasn't perfect, who is, but losing him was such a blow to this team for that reason alone , never mind the offense that he provided from the defense. A NFL linebacker that can skate is a very tough thing to find .Man i miss Buff .
