Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

what you mean?

Gifted McDavid, so it’s a non-legitimate win

The Oilers have a great team no doubt, but lets pump the brakes on giving them the Cup, they got a good draw in the first round and it gets tougher round by round. I'm still not really not sold on their D and goaltending.

How do you think the Oilers will stack up against Vancouver (if they close it out against Nashville) as during the season they lost all 4 games against them. Also lost against Dallas twice and Colorado twice.

Hypothesis: The regular season doesn't matter much.

Lets test that (again).

Score one for the haters last night. Vegas and LA both lost, and LA is out. Hope Dubois can take solace in the fact that he doesn't have to think about hockey for at least three months. Enjoy the surf and turf and your f***ing seaside lifestyle.

The path is relatively easy for them the first two rounds. LA is a slightly better Minnesota Wild. Vancouver is playing their 3rd string goalie and Nashville...well, they could be a handful, but I think the Oilers have the horses to keep up. First real challenge is whoever comes out of the Central.

Heard an eye opening stat on the radio this morning.
The Oilers scored something like 12 goals on the pp and allowed zero on the pk in the first round.
With numbers like that the Jets might have made a series out of it.

LA gets eliminated yesterday and GM Blake is getting roasted once again for the PLD trade today.

Funny how the Kings were winning 2-1 and than the penalties started and the Oilers basically score 3 PPs goal ... sounds so familiar?
Lots of people not King fans either are roasting the refs for questionable calls. I never watch the game just reading the comments.
Round 2 there are lots of good PP units ... are the refs going to decide who wins the series or are they going to let them play hockey?
I noticed the Bruins only got one PP last game ... was it because their PP is at 42.7%?
I'm starting to wonder about these calls or non-calls.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Bruins Crush the Lafs tonight?

Me thinks YES!

It's really not even a conspiracy anymore. We know they game manage, it's been admitted by a ref live on mic.

Kings were outscored 7-0 on special teams in the playoffs. Can't win with that kind of ST record, no conspiracy here.

Leafs are looking good.
Boston has their hands full

They hired Chiarelli which looked the gif

PP has become too big a factor. I can’t recall ever seeing so many series decided by the PP?

 

[bustamente]

Bruins playing like they would like to go back to Boston for game 7

 

[cbcwpg]

Has Boston even started playing yet?

 

[Duke749]

Leafs not scoring on any of these PPs could cost them. One shot Boston? Wow.

 

[Orrrules]

McAvoy just blows guys up.

 

[Hobble]

It's really not even a conspiracy anymore. We know they game manage, it's been admitted by a ref live on mic.

That’s why a big focus should be to fix our PK next year. Winnipeg will never get favoured over another team.

 

[jungles]

Leafs are battling.

 

[Duke749]

I know as a Canadian, y’all inherently hate Toronto… but i am sooo over Boston after all these years.

 

[JetsFan815]

Jeff Marek with an interesting nugget that during PLD's last season in the QMJHL his coach wanted to healthy scratch him in their final series of that playoff run

 

[LucianoBorsato]

Leafs are playing better without AM34. Have to give them credit for forcing game 7

 

[Weezeric]

If the Jets series was officiated like the Leafs-Bruins series, the Jets would’ve had a chance.

I hate Marchand and the hugging goalies shtick got old pretty quick. I wouldn't exactly be sad if they end up blowing this series. I won't be sad if the Leafs lose game 7 either. Neither is going to beat Florida anyways.

Did you watch the Leafs sacrificing their bodies all game? If the Jets played like that we would have had a chance
