A great way to win, a shitty way to lose

Will this count?

 

[sipowicz]

Of course it’s a good goal because it was!

Andersen reacts way too late to Tkachuk going into the slot, no way that wasn't going to count.

 

[Duke749]

Tkachuk the hero three times. Just unreal.

 

[tbcwpg]

Jordan Staal you absolute numpty.

 

[Duke749]

Good for Maurice!

Full credit to the Panthers, scratched their way into the playoffs and willed their way to the Cup final

 

[Buffdog]

Hard not to cheer for these guys. They really seem to be gelling together and having a blast

Teams that overachieve always seem to be playing for each other. I get that vibe from this team

 

[KingBogo]

Congratulations to The Panthers and Maurice. Not an easy task to go to the cup finals. Whoever they meet from the West I will be cheering for the Panthers.

 

[John Agar]

I'm a dog guy...

But I will now be cheering for a bunch of Cat's...



PS... F*** Vegas...

 

[sipowicz]

Jets need a coach like Maurice……..oh wait, never mind! Doh

 

[KingBogo]

Tkachuk the hero three times. Just unreal.

What one hell of a clutch player. A player like that is worth every penny you pay him.

 

[John Agar]

Tkachuk with a Flaming...

Dopey Ron McGoof talking about what greedy Gretzky said after winning on the road back in the 80’s for no apparent reason!

[B33R LEAGUE]

Unbelievable year by Tkachuk..

AllStar Player of the Game in Florida.

110 pts in the Regular Season (7th overall) in Florida…

Shoe-in Playoff MVP in Florida…

Bob and Chucky are everything 55 and 37 aspire to be in the Playoffs.

One interesting pattern is both both Bennett and Reinhart were top 5 picks that were ok for the team that drafted them but both needed a change of scenery. In both cases they flourished on their second team. That might be something the Jets look at since those guys were still RFA’s. In a way we did that with PLD I guess.

The difference between the Reinhart and PLD trades is that we bought high and Florida bought low. Laine (former 2OA pick), an established high-end sniper who paced for 30+ goals in four straight seasons as a 22 year old at the time of the trade, and Jack Roslovic, an established full time NHL middle 6 forward, was a hefty price to pay. That's not to say that PLD isn't worth a hefty price, but I think that was a pretty even trade.

I know Devon Levi looks like the real deal, but at the time of the trade he was essentially a magic bean (one amazing college season under his belt after being picked in the 7th round). Ditto with the first round pick that ended up being 28th overall. I think that's a low price to pay for a defensively responsible, offensively gifted 1B center on a Cup Final team.

We need more trades like that, even if PLD is a border-line case of one that didn't quite work out.
