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

[FireGerardGallant]

Man I just want my extra first round pick so lets go bolts!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Imagine hiring Don Waddell and Rick Dudley in 2018

The NHL never ceases to amaze me

 

[RangerLifer]

Ah, yes, the Habs. The model franchise. The organization whose FO employees you're just itching to hire.

 

[RangerLifer]

I like watching Tampa because you can see that some of these mistakes they used to make here aren’t all on AV. Hint hint. Miller is still an abortion defensively and Girardi couldn’t move the puck if his life depended on it.

It’s been so long for cally and stralman I just see them as Tampa guys now.

Mcdonagh is weird for me. It’s still so fresh for some reason, fresher than miller which makes no sense because they’re in the same trade lol

I know what you mean. I feel the same way. I knew he was terrible for us last season but it does still seem strange seeing him on another team. It's as if he's cheating on us. (lol)

Unrelated....I have to say that my still-favorite NHL special effect is the Sharks' on the PP playing the JAWS theme.

 

[Leonardo87]

Anyone else getting a kick watching "Rangers" players go for the cup? I was not able to follow until recently because of a busy time in my life but this is really cool. JT, Dan, McD, and Cally all playing significant roles on TB. Almost feels like the old days seeing those guys have a chance at the cup. I'm super happy for them. Plus we have Hags and Brass on Pitt.
"Lets Go Rangers" (former)!!!

Yeah it's been fun, last night especially.

Rick Dudley, return of the mack. First NHL GM ever to trade the #1 overall pick.

 

[Do you want ants]

Quick. Call Dudley and see if Hanifin has character issues and tell them well give them Staal and a 2nd for him, to help right the ship...

Did you know that one of Marc Staal's brother plays for the Hurricanes?

I think I heard that somewhere. I’ll have to ask Joe and Pierre to confirm.

But, will we be able to finally witness staalmania?

OH HE PROBABLY LEARNED THAT GROWING UP ON THE SOD FARM IN SUDBURY WITH ERIC JORDAN AND JARED. FUNNY STORY ABOUT JARED HE IS BAD. WHAT A FAMILY. MRS. STAAL IS A SAINT.

Honest question wtf is sod

 

[Do you want ants]

I’d love to see him paired with Faulk or pesce. Then when he drags down their value we can trade for them too.

Grass + the 1/2 inch or so of soil below it with all the roots and stuff.

Basically astro turf, but the real stuff instead of synthetic.

Only to be outdone by the GM who acquired that pick, Mike Milbury, who selected Rick DiPietro with that pick while he had Roberto Luongo.

 

[will1066]

Yes!! He’s in a lot of them.

He's not only King Midas, he's the Terminix man, the Wendy's cowboy, the Geico soap opera guy in the Susan Lucci spoofs, the Geico cowbody--what else am I missing? lol

Someone never got paid laying sod for their friend’s parents for $15.

Mike Milbury was the “hold my beer meme” years before it become a pop culture item.

Yes. Someone was also born after 1840.

$15???? That’s like, $500 now in your day.

A month’s wages!

Yes, I can picture you running to the local record shop and purchasing the new device known as “the record player”.

Woody Guthrie was likely your first vinyl.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I was going through some old posts and found a mock draft I did in 2015, as the Carolina GM and these were my picks:

Round 1: Mat Barzal
Round 1: Nicolas Meloche
Round 2: Jordan Greenway
Round 3: Dante Salituro
Round 4: Denis Malgin
Round 5: Brad Morrison
Round 5: Veeti Vainio
Round 6: Felix Sandstrom

Barzal, Greenway and Malgin. Not bad, 3 years down the road.
