Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

[jetsforever]

Maybe it's because I'm not actually from Winnipeg but there's not a team I'd like to see lose more than Florida.

Yes, that includes Vegas.

Took me a while to figure out all the double negatives there but why do you dislike them so much?

 

[Board Bard]

Pretty easy pick for every Jets fan honestly. Maurice certainly deserves winning a Cup.

Untrue on both counts.

My bad, actually it is an easy pick -- asshat Maurice deserves to be reamed and routed.

 

[bustamente]

Almost a week before the SC final series starts, NBA does the same thing but nobody in the States will be watching the NHL final

 

[ps241]

So the Oilers hang on for a low scoring win. I said I thought Dallas was going to beat them and I was wrong. I assume the Oilers will be a tough out now for Florida but I have zero idea how it’s going to go.

 

[PhilJets]

My next team i would want to win the Cup after the Jets.

Oilers
Mc David
Draisatl

The one thing that Maurice has in Florida that he did not have in Winnipeg ... is the calls and I mean a lot in the last 2 years go his way. That's makes a big difference in one goal games.

Also
Barkov and Tkachuk

 

[sipowicz]

Wow, playoff goalies not allowing 5 goals per game and actually playing well

Sip on a mission to take the crown of the biggest Helle hater from Whiteout before the season begins.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

The Oil had 8 shots on goal until middle of the 3rd and were up 2-0. Strange.

 

[UFO]

McDavind finally reaches his first SCF. I say FLA in 6.

 

[roccerfeller]

Of all the things Edmonton was criticized for, their goaltending, is what carries them through

Amazing. Good for them. I’m not a fan of the oilers but I have a lot of good friends and close family friends who are and I’m happy for them

As nice as it would be to see McDavid raise a cup, I cannot stand the idea of Kane raising a cup so I hope Maurice is the one who finally gets his due.

Pretty easy pick for every Jets fan honestly. Maurice certainly deserves winning a Cup. I could see a scenario where Barkov hands the Cup not to a teammate, but to PoMo. Man wouldn’t that be a moment.

Agree - id love to see Mo raise a cup.

I thought these 2 teams would make it thru, to the Final, but really Dallas could have won that series as well, with the Oilers with 10 SOG.

Now I'm a bit tormented, as to who I want to win ? a Canadian team - yes, but that team being the Oilers - well, I've never the biggest fan of the Oilers, and I'm not now, but it be nice to see the Cup come back to Canada, so if the Oilers win, I'd be somewhat happy.

On the other hand, I'd like to see Maurice win his first Stanley Cup, as he's paid his dues, and is a solid Coach, who deserves to win a big one.

Who do I think will win this series ? it will be a tough grind it out series, and just may go 7 games, but the Panthers have been looking really good lately, getting great Goaltending, and great goal production from their above average players - Bennet - Tkachuk - Reinhart and the others.

Can the Oilers handle the dirty chippy play that Florida likes to execute on opposing teams ?? good question -- I'm not sure who wins this series, but I think either team is very capable.

I'd be happy to see a hard fought, entertaining 7 game series, and whoever wins -- so be it, I'll be happy with either team, but I'd really like to see the Stanley Cup come back to Canada. Oilers can do it, but their up against a very determined, tenacious team. Should be fun.

 

[Jets 31]

Coilers win 2-1

Dallas 34-10 shot advantage lol

Now go beat those friggin Panthers.

You fans holding out the 80s sorrow are pathetic.

I guess I'm pathetic, probably more jealous though that a franchise can have not one but 2 of the very best players of all time. Win 4 Stanley Cups with Gretzky and then 1 more without him Edmonton has won it enough , would rather Florida wins .

 

[AussieBomberJet]

f***

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Good news is that's its a total waste of time watching hockey in June... so now I don't have to

So you would be ok if Vancouver was in Coilers place?

Canada needs a hockey champion.

I enjoy the drought.

 

[EpicGingy]

Tkachuk, Bennett, and Cousins are all disgustingly dirty players. The rest of the team isn't particularly likable either outside of Barkov.

Edmonton has Kane and Perry but really it's not a competition in terms of pure villainy.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I don't care who wins this. Maurice gets a cup? Don't care. Canada gets a cup? Don't care. I feel basically the same about both of these teams...don't care. lol. I'd prefer not to see Kane hoisting the cup, but he's not a whole lot worse than kaychook so I don't care.

 

[tarozi]

I think the Oilers will meet the Panthers in the Cup final, and win it all.

Dude.... you nailed it!!!!!

 

[kanadalainen]

I enjoy the drought.

It does have its upside. No need to buy potting soil.

 

[Jets 31]

No drought here in Winnipeg that's for sure, enough damn rain already.

 

[Daximus]

I'm torn because I want McDavid to win a Cup for the legacy aspect but I don't want Edmonton to win a Cup. I want Florida to win a Cup because they never have as well.

28 straight penalty kills in the playoffs is how you win Cups and that isn't just goaltending that is a team effort. Add to that they have a 37.3% PP to lead the playoffs and I think Florida is going to be in for a tough run. Any kind of penalty trouble and they are going to have an uphill battle. Edmonton owns special teams and that is enough to win games on it's own.

 

[Jets 31]

Canada needs a hockey champion.

That will be next year with Winnipeg winning.

While we don't have a McDrai, perhaps someone should communicate the last point to the Jets brass that a shit PP and a shit PK won't get it done.

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Kane is the biggest dirtbag in the NHL which is saying a lot and Corey perry ruined our first playoff appearance... literally the only team that could make me cheer for a tkahuck
