Around the NHL 2017-18: Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Samuel Culper III]

The Kane backhand when they destroyed the Pens the other night was even better, IMO but that and this Kucherov goal are my two favorites so far this season.

...and Tampa wins it. This game was like watching the story of the tortoise and the hare. The Caps looked like they were gonna cruise to an easy win.

 

[RangerLifer]

I have to say I love watching Hedman play. AND I miss Stralman to this day.

 

[TheTakedown]

Tampa was gift wrapped that game. What a bullshit penalty.

 

[will1066]

Sorry, but that was too many men

 

[TheTakedown]

Sorry, but that was too many men

How exactly? That player getting off the ice was not involved in the play and was heading to the bench...

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Chicago is just owning the puck.

That changed from the third period on, at least from what I saw. It was like the Leafs threw a switch.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Nash would have shot that into Forsberg.

Or just missed the net.

 

[Edge]

Saad is reeeeeeeeeeally underrated.

There are times he looks amazing, and then there are stretches where you have to check to see if he was scratched.

You think Kreider gets grief for disappearing? Saad would give these boards a fit.

 

[Krams]

Penguins just visited the White House. Went pretty well. Trump came out as a Rangers fan

 

[aufheben]

Vegas is flossing their teeth with the Coyotes atm

 

[bl02]

Vegas' powerplay looking like the harlem Globetrotters. Whats a pass by Smith

 

[Ori]

Is Stepan injured - not seen him?

I`m switching between the Nuck & Vegas games, hehe.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Nice goal by Oscar

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Very pleased that Vegas won their home opener

Bill Foley must be very proud of his team. He seem like a very nice guy

 

[Ori]

D. Stepan got his first point an assist for his new NHL club - a nice play by him!!

 

[darko]

No goalie could have stopped that backhand. That backhand is better than most forehands

And yet some people would expect Hank to stop it.

 

[Irishguy42]

Having "Viva Las Vegas" as their victory song is just perfect.

 

[Nickmo82]

I'm not saying it was a penalty or anything, but Crosby ran Holtby to some extent on that powerplay and NBC didn't even mention it.

Edit: nevermind. Just mentioned it.

 

[Irishguy42]

Devils will be a handful on Saturday. Not looking forward to it, especially after playing Columbus the night before.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

New Jersey getting competitive again and will probably be guns blazing in 2 years

 

[RangerLifer]

Watching MacKenzie say the Pens have no depth at center without Cullen and Bonino. Sickening. They have three mil in cap space. Poor babies. Two friggin cups in a row and they have to bellyache about THEIR depth at C. Oh, life is so unfair.

I don't think this will be a good weekend for our team.

 

[Kovalev27]

Watching this caps pens game there are PLENTY of grade A chances. The goaltending is so superior to ours it’s scary. Hank would have given up 6 by now against either of these teams.

All you have to do is watch other games and see the level of goaltending out there to see it’s not our D being the worst. We get awful goaltending has been this way for 2 years plus now

 

[Irishguy42]

This goaltending has been only slightly better, if that, than what Hank has given us in the past two games.

Let's not get too ahead of ourselves here...
