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

[trilobyte]

I hate Pekka Rinne, man, you could see this coming from a mile away when the Preds went up 3-0 that early in the game.

He really is not doing that rock solid goalie thing; that thing teams need in the playoffs.

 

[trilobyte]

I've always been hoping for Jets-Bruins SCF.
Although Rangers benefit from Lightning winning, seeing the Lightning smile and congratulate each other does not agree with me.
I am bad

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He really is not doing that rock solid goalie thing; that thing teams need in the playoffs.

Thats kind of a running theme with almost all of the goalies left.

 

[RangerLifer]

I think a goalie who swings his stick at a player like Billy Smith he should be forced to sit in the box and put in the cold backup. He could have caused a serious injury there. These Preds are so dirty. I’m so happy the Jets won.

 

[RangerLifer]

Pierre asked Ovi about the OT goal.

Oh wow. Hahaaaaa

 

[trilobyte]

Thats kind of a running theme with almost all of the goalies left.

As somebody said: "You need your goalie to make saves he shouldn't have".

Rooting for Jets, Knights, Caps, and Bolts in Round 2...

*Tom Wilson makes a guy have a seizure after a headshot*

“It was an accident, it’s not his fault he’s big”

The league seriously needs to step in. This is unsafe on another level. Every game, he injures someone.

 

[Do you want ants]

In Nashville for a conference and the hate for Rinne is palpable.

Will be so happy if they get destroyed and gone in round 2. Everyone's baby and favorite team in last years playoffs.

Saros is better

Maybe he is that good at landing hits...

I'm not defending him, he plays a hard game, but that hit was clean .

Left his feet, followed through into the head and while I won't try to say it was a definite headshot, it was close and a player like that doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. He doesn't need to be suspended, but there's no way that's not a penalty. He also committed a tripping penalty on the GWG.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I don't know whats worse Tom Wilson or all the cap's fans who fangirl over him and white knight him for every single thing he does. The dude could probably Todd Bertuzzi somebody and they'd find a way to call it clean

 

[trilobyte]

History of offenses comes into play only once they determine that an offense occurred.
I think we all know that Wilson will not be brought before the league. It's all good as far as the NHL is concerned.
NHL, and just hockey referees in general, always find it difficult to call these plays. Believe me when I say that Tom Wilson knows how it works.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

The Jets are so well put together it makes me sick. They're going to the final.

 

[trilobyte]

Jets will make people who hate the Jets sick, yes that is true, hopefully.
Lots of series left but the Jets look composed and able to take it all.

 

[Miamipuck]

Gotta love the old boy network.

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

Rick Dudley reminds me of this:

Ned Braden: Why do you wear that rug? It's just sensationally ugly. You're going bald. Can't you face up to that?

Jim Carr: Well, at least I'm not chickenshit like you!

Ned Braden : What you're hearing is the truth!

Saros is better

*Ducks*

If you duck behind Saros you won’t get hit...

 

[kovazub94]

Playoff format is Brook’s pet peeve and many others as well but I don’t care that we have 1-2 and 3-4 in round two. Tampa- Boston and Pens-Caps are better series than any other combination of these four teams.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I loled

 

[Gardner McKay]

The Jets are so well put together it makes me sick. They're going to the final.

When you spend 18 years putting the team together, you get it right eventually. 18 years of sucking should make you sick. When you get that many picks over and over and over, you're bound to hit on multiple at once.

I think a goalie who swings his stick at a player like Billy Smith he should be forced to sit in the box and put in the cold backup. He could have caused a serious injury there. These Preds are so dirty. I’m so happy the Jets won.

I only wish Lundqvist did that occasionally. Maybe he wouldn't get run so much.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Rooting for Jets, Knights, Caps, and Bolts in Round 2...

If the Caps get to that point, losing in the final would provide some satisfaction for this season. Buff turning the tables on Wilson would be priceless.
