Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[Buffdog]

I think that teams make it harder to get to the high danger scoring areas in the playoffs. You can get there, but you'll pay a price.

Because of that, perimeter players who can rack up points in the regular season become less impactful. Guys like Connor, Ehlers, Marner, etc

We saw it here. Lowry had more goals than Connor and they were all on the doorstep

When the teams with the best players in the world can't even make the finals, maybe it's time to rethink how to build a team for playoff success

Why couldn't both Edmonton and Vegas lose . Gotta say if i was an Edmonton fan i wouldn't be happy about some of their star players in the playoffs this year . Nugent-Hopkins had 100 points in the regular season and only scored 1 goal all playoffs. Their goaltending isn't good but that's not that team's only problem.

Yup, Oilers goaltending was even worse than ours during the PO’s, but the Oilers were playing the wrong netminder, ours just choked!

 

[Thechozen1]

I wouldn’t count out the Stars. The have proven to be a pretty resilient team themselves.

I’m thinking it will be a Hurricanes/Stars final.

 

[kanadalainen]

Hoping for Seattle over the Stars, but may not get my wish.

 

[AlphaLackey]

The hillbillies have turned on each other

Beating a team so savagely in their barn that their fans turn on each other SHOULD be an achievement, but this is Edmonton we’re talking about sooooo maybe not.

 

[Eyeseeing]

The Oiler fans were getting pretty cocky so this is somewhat satisfying I must say.

 

[Jets 31]

I know who i'm hoping wins the Cup just because of this gif .

Toronto / Florida 2023

Calgary / Tampa 2004

At least in 2023 they reviewed the goal and said it was no-goal.... In 2004 they didn't even review it.... Not to be a conspiracy nut, but these Florida teams sure get the breaks.

 

[jungles]

I can't tell which side of the point you are arguing, but that top screenshot is the biggest red herring of all red herrings. Play was well over by then.

 

[WaveRaven]

The image of the leafs non goal is after the whistle and the leaf players pushed with his stick.

 

[SCP Guy]

Sorry Soiler fans.....

Which one is Stastny ...................................

Somehow they are more annoying than leaf fans

I’m thinking it will be a Hurricanes/Stars final.

I have this in my bracket. So agreed

Life is good fellow HFJetters, life is good.

When you wish upon a Star....

Vegas HCs in their 1st year all reach WCF. Cassidy better win other wise he's probably gone

That's actually what Chevy was eluding to in the presser. You have to get in, with a team that will win in the playoffs. The Jets with a full roster had a chance to beat Vegas. With Vegas taking out the mighty Oilers quickly, it makes the Jets look good in a way. Not saying we don't need some pieces but regular season teams don't always fare well.

 

[Daximus]

I really hope it's Dallas against Vegas because I don't think Seattle stands a chance against them.

This is the play they should be talking about ... the OT goal should never had been allowed.

Gudas got an assist? That would be the real travesty. Petition to get him the primary assist and a street named after him in Toronto.?

Oh well sucks to be Toronto

 

[Joe Hallenback]

There was no penalty called so yes it should count

What ifs are not applicable

I didn’t think Seattle had a chance against Dallas or Colorado either, but I’d be fine with Dallas in the WCF. I think they’d give Vegas more trouble for sure.

 

[kanadalainen]

Holds the stick (no question), no penalty, then screams in Woll's face.

Its tragic but amusing to the jaded mind, kind of like some of Shakey's best stuff.
