Around The NHL Discussion 2021-22 Part IV Into the Playoffs Edition

Oshie really turned into a great playoff performer after leaving STL. Good for him. Still one of my faves.

Great day of hockey upcoming, and as P9's alluded to, made much more enjoyable with our ticket already stamped for Round 2.

Exactly. I enjoy the pause on the Blues play so that I can't watch the other games with an even mind.

The Blues' chances in round 2 went up significantly by ending the first round series in less than 7 games. An extra couple days to rest/prepare will make a lot of difference. Conversely, I think Colorado has too long of a break.

Rooting hard for Oilers and Flames wins to keep the BoA matchup alive. No interest in watching Dallas vs. LA.

Me too, would love to watch a flames vs oil second round. Also rooting pretty hard for the leafs to beat TB. That fanbase has suffered a lot and I feel like their current core has paid their dues as well. They look like a different team in their on-ice demeanor this year, think they are ready to take the next step.

Resting up banged up defenseman is a very good thing for the Blues.

Good news! Where did you find this?

So is that a confirmation that Krug will debut in game 7 and lead us to victory?

No. Ain’t gonna be a game 7. We are gonna have already won in 6.

Nice, so we save him for game 1 vs the Kings.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Always nice to see a Boston team lose

 

[BlueDream]

Carolina is the only team in the East I’d like to see win the Cup.

Although on the chance the Blues make it to the Cup, the Canes and Panthers are the two teams I don’t want to face. I think we’d beat any of the others.

 

[Stealth JD]

I want the Blues to battle the Lightning and deny their chance at a 3-peat with the second cup of their own in 4-years. I'm fine with the Toronto suffering and would love to see them lose again in gut-wrenching fashion. Plus, if either the Panthers or Lightning meet the Blues in the Final, I'll be able to go to the games in FL.

Yikes - Bolts just lost Brayden Point to what looks to be a major knee injury. Leafs MUST take advantage.

...and Tampa strikes first near the end of the 1st period. 1-0 Lightning.

Small stick tap led to a toe pick to a twisted knee along the boards.

Ouch

Wishing for Canes vs Blues

Canes have good chance
Blues have to get through Avs....low odds of that but we can hope

 

[Linkens Mastery]

I really hope LA and Dallas advance....

Gross. Give me a Battle of Alberta, or even the Darryl Sutter revenge series. Watching Dallas play is so painfully boring.

I get it if you’re projecting out for the Blues, but as a viewing experience CAL - EDM would be 10x better

10x better is selling it short

I'm fine with Calgary advancing tbh. I just want to see Edmonton fall on their face again. And Dallas because I think we can beat them in an easier way than Calgary.

 

[The Note]

Toronto thought they had a tie game but now TB is going on a PP. Tough

 

[Stealth JD]

Under 7 to play in Toronto. Lots of pressure building on Matthews, Marner & Tavares to come through, down by a goal. Tampa looks cool and collected.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

If we can beat Colorado, we can beat anyone in this playoff.

I just prefer the rest of the series’ to be as entertaining as possible

 

[The Note]

This is gonna be a slow death for the Leafs it looks like.

 

[The Note]

Toronto out again. Woof
