Around the NHL 9

[snowkiddin]

Interesting that some teams can actually make decisions in a quick manor...

You would hope that if the Jets do decide to move on from their coaching staff or part of it, they aren't going to let them sit around for months without knowing while the Jets look for replacements. If Lowry etc. are gone... do the right thing and let them know Sunday night.

Maybe we can follow after our game tomorrow.

Avs, Blues, Flames, Oilers
Pens, Bolts, Panthers, Hurricanes

I think short of getting goalied or mentally imploding, the Leafs are going to win this series. They have been the better team statistically most of the season.

It’ll be interesting. Definitely won’t be a sweep but there’s probably not a worse match up for the Leafs than the Lightning this round.

If they pull the trigger on the coaching staff it will be the next day, even I wouldn't do it after the game

Hey, it's a home game. Not like the coaches would have to take a taxi to the airport.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Lightning going to sweep the leafs.

Wish they would meet Boston instead.

Boston would eliminate Leafs, because they always do.
TBL? Not so much. TML may get past first rd this time. Anyway they can meet Boston in rd 2?

Tampa was still a 50+ win team this past season, and Point missed significant time, and Kucherov was only around for half the season. Tampa are the 2x defending champs and Toronto’s stars have shown over the past number of years that they are choke artists in the playoffs.

I don’t think I wanna bet against Tampa here.

I wouldn't bet against TBL either - but it should be close, at least if TML goaltending holds up. TML had 54 wins to TBL 51. Tough series to call at this point.

If it was Boston, experience says you don't even need to bother playing the games, regardless of regular season records. Boston is clearly in their collective head.

PlayNow only has TB as a slight dog (2.05 / 1.85) but MoneyPuck and the Athletic both have TO as like a 2-1 favorite. Not sure how much I'm willing to prostitute myself in the name of an edge.

Answer: seems that about +$9.00 in EV will do.

I feel so dirty.

Arizona: Assistant coach Phil Housley not renewed

Chicago: associate coach Marc Crawford and assistant coach Rob Cookson were informed that they will not be returning to the organization next season.

Boston / Carolina

neither goalie has ever started a playoff game before.


The playoffs…. Where anthem singers come to die.

How is Antti Raanta going to fare against the B's?

Fun fact: The guy is 32

The B's are going to get crushed just like the regular season.

I feel like a dirty hooker on Higgins in the 90’s saying this, “go Bolts!”

That reminds me of the time I drove on the Louise bridge at 6 am one morning years ago, and just after the bridge, a woman flashed open her fur coat to show the skimpy outfit she had on.

Took me a second to realize what she was doing. That kind of stuff never happened to me back then

 

[PaulPooley]

I hate the Leafs so so deeply

 

[JetsFan815]

I can't even watch the playoffs because it just makes me think of how far the Jets have fallen.

If I didn’t despise the Leafs fan base, I wouldn’t care about the playoffs. I’m petty like that.

 

[snowkiddin]

Clifford channeling his inner Kadri, what a dumb hit. He’s lucky the Lightning aren’t really into the game.

 

[PaulPooley]

Bolts are playing straight up trash

 

[Aggie204]

Sergachev, wth are you going man? I know that was a crappy pass but how did you lose your man?

Straight doo-doo by the Bolts.

 

[PaulPooley]

The Leafs are so far ahead of us it’s insane

 

[snowkiddin]

guys. I’m taking a shot every time Auston Matthews is mentioned when he isn’t on the ice. I’m so drunk already and starting to feel sick

This is setting up very nicely for the Leafs choke job later this series.

I don’t know how the PBP are talking with #34s’ d—k in their mouths.
