Series Talk: Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Second Round

[trilobyte]

Refs have been consistent. They kept the whistles ready this game and are using them. They've done a good job in a pretty physical and testy game.

So, anyone think Montreal will heavily overpay for William Karlsson when they get snubbed by Tavares?

He's RFA.

They're going to trade the 3OA for him

 

[Ghost of jas]

He's RFA.

They're going to trade the 3OA for him

My bad

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

He's RFA.

They're going to trade the 3OA for him

Ultimate Bergevin mode engage:
Take Tkachuk 3rd OA
Miss on Tavares
Offer sheet Karlsson to the tier where he gives up his next 4 first rounders

Edit: now that I'm thinking about it, Bergevin mode is eerily similar to Tim Murray mode

 

[trilobyte]

This is an amazingly great overtime.

 

[Harbour Dog]

This game has been fantastic. The rest of the West series' are going to be amazing.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Goalie interference?

Man, I don't want this series to be a sweep.

 

[trilobyte]

JAM does make contact yeah, but I don't think it will be seen as stopping Jones from making the save.

 

[Miamipuck]

That's goalie interference to me.

 

[Irishguy42]

Dillon is riding JAM the entire way. I think that's a good goal.

 

[Miamipuck]

That's the right call.

 

[trilobyte]

Yes, seeing it again I do think that was interference.

 

[Tawnos]

Not only did the refs get it right. Joe actually managed to get it right for once too.

 

[trilobyte]

Good camera work on that one.
The overhead was what showed it more clearly to me.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I think that's the right call, yeah. Fairly obvious one.

 

[Tawnos]

Dillon is riding JAM the entire way. I think that's a good goal.

Even if Dillon was, JAM is in front of him, meaning he’s gotta at least try to avoid the contact. He doesn’t.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Watching Jones play angles and control rebounds keeps me on the edge of seat.

The man is a master of suspense.

 

[trilobyte]

Jones has looked really good. I'm sure he appreciates having a team playing hockey in front of him this game lol, but he still has had to make some point blank stops from right in the danger zone and he was positioned well. To the Sharks credit, he has been able to see a lot of them. That tying third VGK goal might be one he wishes he reacted to more quickly.

 

[Irishguy42]

this series has been so much fun

 

[trilobyte]

Best game I've seen so far. So evenly matched.

 

[nevesis]

f*** the Sharks. VGK all the way.

 

[TheTakedown]

The Wild were pretty screwed, really. There was no way they were coming out of that looking good. Maybe could have talked Vegas down to Haula and a pick instead of Tuch, but Vegas had them over a barrel with Dumba being exposed.

All they had to do was trade a defenseman for a forward then protet with the 7-3-1 format. Instead they opted for the 8-1 to protect their 5 defensemen... stupid mistake

 

[Machinehead]

This game has been fantastic. The rest of the West series' are going to be amazing.

Vegas/SJ - incredible

Winnipeg/Nashville - scintillating

Boston/Tampa - lit

Shittsburgh/Borington part MMCLX - K

 

[RangerLifer]

**** the Sharks. VGK all the way.

Imagine the SC Final to be Vegas, MAF vs Pittsburgh?!
