Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

Wow will any series go to 6 games?
Let’s see if Bettman puts in the word we need some 6 and 7 game series boys.
Crazy playoffs … Canucks win a game with only 12 shots the other day and today Oilers win with only 13 shots.

hockey gods look down on the Jets



Speaking of, what pick does Montreal get if we lose the series

Vancouver outshot 31-12… Canucks win

Goaltending again makes a difference

Many people are telling me that I'm wrong, Fivebuyck is not to blame for how this series is going, he's not the problem etc.

Accepting that Fivebucyk is far from the only player pooping the bed large this series, it seems to me that goalies still make a disproportional difference. If we had regular season Vezinabuyck instead whoever the hell this guy is that shows up every playoffs, I think the series could be 2-2 right now and a whole different psychological outlook.

I feel like this tweet could easily apply to the Jets and it makes me sad.

Built-for-playoffs PL Dubois with just the one goal in four games so far, LA really needs him to go beast mode soon

Not like we’re winning the trade much at all right now in the playoffs, either. But still glad he’s gone.

He learned well from his time with the Jets.

I think build-for-playoffs PLD only existed in Columbus. There is something really wrong in Winnipeg. The rumours of toxic locker-room culture keep rearing their ugly head (although we did not hear about it this season). I don't care about rumours and innuendo, but the on-ice product is there for everyone to see.

I'm hoping for the Capitals to get knocked out first as I pulled them out of a hat in the playoff pool at work. If they do, I at least get my $20 back...

Small consolation for the Jets performance, but I won my $20 back! Thanks Crapitals...

Take the small victories where you can.

Hakstol gets the axe in Seattle

Jets fans of all fans should not be looking down on the Leafs considering how our post-season has gone. I used to too but don't feel like I have that right anymore after the last two Jets post-seasons. We are as bad as the Leafs now.

We are not as bad as the Leafs until we have 3 - $10 million + forwards ( and to be 4 starting next season ) in our lineup.

Sure the Jets are struggling, but c'mon, we have no "superstars" on this team. Toronto is suppose to have 4 or 5 according to the media.

Not in the media's view.

Hakstol gets the axe in Seattle

Made the playoffs last year and beat the Avalanche in the first round, miss the playoffs this year and get canned.

Hakstol gets the axe in Seattle

This is a big move for Genearl Manager Ron Francis and the front office. This shows to Kraken fans that the team is not going to take mediocre hockey, and with the offense and power play falling short this season this should help provide a shakeup in that regard.

“I thank Dave for his hard work and dedication to the Kraken franchise,” said Francis in a press release. “Following our end-of-the-season review, we have decided to make a change at our head coach position. These decisions are never easy, but we feel this is a necessary step to help ensure our team continues to improve and evolve. Dave is a good coach and a terrific person. We wish him and his family all the best. We will begin our search for the Kraken’s next head coach immediately.”

Some teams just have no patience for losing.

I appreciate that Seattle wasn't great this year but I think this year is more representative of the roster they have than last year. I don't think they necessarily underachieved this season.

Interesting that the Kraken are keeping two of his assistants, Jay Leach and Papa Lowry

Look how easy it is, True North.

You can even copy and paste this template and just switch out a few key words.

Wonder if Seattle will allow him to reapply

Tampa done…. Had 2 goals called back

Gonna be an interesting off season for the Bolts, do they try to resign Stamkos and can they fix their D

This Maurice situation is like when an ex who you were kinda cool on anyways dumps you and you are glad and thinking you're gonna get an upgrade. Only to check in later and see the ex got a massive upgrade on you who is twice the version of you

I'm legit cheering for Maurice now... it's weird

I have always cheered for Maurice. He got too much hate on here. The man dealt with an awful roster for too long.

I mean they don't even have to fire Bones, they can just choose not to pick up his option.

He's a grifter, but I kinda like him regardless.

They had a lot of injuries
