Hockey the most random of sports. You can dominate for long stretches and get no puck luck, then lose on pure puck luck.As well as the Panthers played they still lost again in OT
I think they
I think Helle has been overworked every season. The weird thing about him is that he has a ridiculous record in games where he faces 50+ shots (I'd have to look it up but it's insane). If I were made coach for a day, I'd try to keep his starts in the 50 games range. As he ages, even more so
As for the rest of the team in the playoffs, I think it's a lack of willingness to exert themselves moreso than the ability to do so. Which is even more problematic
To come back from 2 down and dominate most of the third and again in OT and not win has to weigh on the mind, they need to come out for game 4 and take the game from the get go. Not scoring during Trouba's double minor did not help.Hockey the most random of sports. You can dominate for long stretches and get no puck luck, then lose on pure puck luck.
Well when you win 11 straight OT games the odds are you are going to start to lose some eventually.As well as the Panthers played they still lost again in OT
I'd be happy to see any Canadian team win the Cup as long as it's the Jets.I thought the Panthers pretty much dominated play, and out muscled the Rangers, but yet they lost. New York was lucky to win IMO, but we'll see what happens over a 7 game series, and my money in on the Panthers. They also outshot and outchanced the Rangers.
In the other series, I think the Oilers win that series, and I'm rooting for them although many posters on here hate the Oilers and Toronto, but I'd love to see a Canadian team win the Stanley Cup, as it's been about 30 years or so. Oilers are getting good goaltending from Skinner, and they have more firepower, so I really like their chances. I think the Oilers will meet the Panthers in the Cup final, and win it all.
If he was still a Jet he'd sit for the rest of the playoffs haha5K fine for Trouba
Oh wow just checked the score ten min ago and 2-0 EDMYou're never out of it with Skinner in net, 3 straight by the Stars

Jacob Trouba, repeat offender, intent to hurt someone, $5k fine.
Mark Scheifele, first time offender, arguably a clean hit, gone for series.
Such a joke.
Has the feeling of a war of attrition... Naopoleon's retreat from Moscow kind of gestalt.This Dallas/ Edmonton series just doesn't have the oomph that the Florida/ New York series has
