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

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The rat should be penalized.

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh and Stralman a pair.

Who's going to let Cooper know that's not allowed?

 

[Ghost of jas]

So Armstrong decides he's okay losing Perron for nothing so he can trade Reaves for the 31OA? I'm not sure how this is better than just risking losing Reaves for nothing, which wouldn't have happened.

He apparently didn’t value Perron as much as you think he should have. Having that extra 1st also allowed him to deal for Brayden Schenn.

Besides, how Florida, Anaheim and Minnesota ended up handling things was far worse than what Armstrong ended doing.

Rask could have gotten a misconduct there for throwing the broken blade.

I must break you.

--Richard Nashe, 2nd Round

 

[Machinehead]

Gourde is everywhere.

 

[YetAnotherNorwegian]

While I can understand Rask's frustration, you gotta play until someone blows a whistle, man!

Also, Marchand is a real asshat.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Gourde is everywhere.

Tampa is a poor mans Pitt when it comes to good players magically appearing on their team

 

[Ghost of jas]

Gourde is everywhere.

Is this an advertisement for the Dairy Famers of America?

Hard to push off and go post to post when you have nothing to push off of. You could see him try, and fail, and then continue to try and get the refs attention.

 

[trilobyte]

Rask could have gotten a misconduct there for throwing the broken blade.

Definitely could have. I thought they should have blown the whistle with that skate blade lying there, but I guess they are not obligated to.
Tuuka throws some of the greatest freakouts, so that was kind of mild for him.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I wonder if there’s anything in the rule book for a situation like the Sergachev goal

I mean, has anyone ever seen that happen before this?

 

[Machinehead]

Tampa is a poor mans Pitt when it comes to good players magically appearing on their team

Tampa has the added utility/annoyance of "the salary cap just doesn't seem to exist here"

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh-Stralman dominating.

Could have been our top pair for 15 years.

 

[Boruto]

Nash doing a good job to wipe his reputation. #BlameItOnAV

 

[will1066]

McDonagh-Stralman dominating.

Could have been our top pair for 15 years.

Letting Richard stand there between them unimpeded and scoring is dominating?

 

[Machinehead]

Letting Richard stand there between them unimpeded and scoring is dominating?

That's the last Boston shot.

 

[RangerLifer]

McDonagh-Stralman dominating.

Could have been our top pair for 15 years.

Reading this hurt my gut while reading it.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

McDonagh-Stralman dominating.

Could have been our top pair for 15 years.

Instead we’ll have to settle for Dahlin-Shattenkirk

 

[mike14]

I really hope Chytil can be our Pastrnak. Being able to grab a guy like that at the end of the 1st round makes such a difference.
Also 88 is just a good looking hockey jersey number

 

[Machinehead]

Instead we’ll have to settle for Dahlin-Shattenkirk

We'll let Shattenkirk walk to sign Pionk at 6.5.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Letting Richard stand there between them unimpeded and scoring is dominating?

Bad game to make the point he's trying to make. They've been on and at fault for all three goals.

 

[RangerLifer]

Instead we’ll have to settle for Dahlin-Shattenkirk

Hope springs eternal.

I hope you're right though.

 

[RangerLifer]

We'll let Shattenkirk walk to sign Pionk at 6.5.

It'll be EK65/Shatty.

 

[Machinehead]

Bad game to make the point he's trying to make. They've been on and at fault for all three goals.

Didn't see the first period. Was talking about the second.

Over a much larger sample with the Rangers their CF% together was well into the damn 60's.
