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

[Bluesfan54]

I have no idea. I’d assume due to their cap structure something was going to have to happen regardless, but I presume whatever happens will be more drastic now.

And it will probably be something stupid.

Well, they did extend Kyle Clifford for 2 more years..... so that was a start.

The way Toronto reacts to misfortune makes it very difficult to feel bad for them. I think half of their 104-page GDT are posts blaming the refs. Only 19 more consecutive years in the playoffs without a Cup to understand what painful streaks really are.

Though I definitely do not consider the bubble qualifying round to be a playoff round, and they couldn't even get in the playoffs that year

If Calgary wins, we’re definitely gonna have the best second round bracket since 2018 (TB/BOS, WSH/PIT, NSH/WPG, VGK/SJ).

Blues/Avs, Battles of Alberta & Florida, and Canes vs NYR/PIT will be an absolute delight to watch for everyone.

I always figure most of those posts are 14y old boys who post on HF a lot. I suspect they have as many reasonable fans as we do, but they're lost in the noise.

I really thought they would finish Tampa, who were playing on fumes down the stretch and looked ripe for a series loss.

 

[joe galiba]

from work I have known quite a few people from the Toronto area and they all hate “those” fans too

 

[Fez Whatley]

I just wanna see Matthews in coyote pjs

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Really don't care about PIT vs NYT, but I find PIT fans to be quite arrogant, so.....go NYR

Plus I like their coach

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Rangers and Pens going to ot in game 7. Been some great series this round.

 

[joe galiba]

Boston, LA, and Toronto lost
if NY and Dallas lose there will be some TV execs crying in their beer

 

[TheDizee]

choke job

 

[mk80]

The Rangers come all the way back from being down 3-1 to win the series in Game 7 OT.

 

[PocketNines]

Props to the NYR-Pitt series for entertainment value

 

[Klank Loves You]

CGY is so f***ing mediocre. Happy to take a million low-danger shots, hoping for some bounces.

Still, Dallas looks terrible. Oettinger carrying them.

 

[PocketNines]

This is Dallas' rope a dope style. Shots are 43-12 Calgary after two periods but 2-2

The Rangers come all the way back from being down 3-1 to win the series in Game 7 OT.

Pens are biggest bunch of whiners in league. Glad they lost.

Dallas in my opinion could benefit from a coaching change.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Yes. Which is large part of why I am rooting for them. Don’t want them to fire coach.

it is a stupid rule though

dumber than the foot in the crease rule

It may be a stupid rule, but pens should learn it. He couid have just put helmet back on.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Calgary/Dallas has a similar feeling to the game 7 we had against them in 2019. Wouldn't be surprised for this to take multiple OTs

 

[mk80]

Because of how lopsided this game has been Oettinger is going to get this in regulation tonight

 

[Klank Loves You]

Dallas playing the Ozone like it's 3v3 OT.

 

[Klank Loves You]

Granted im watching CGY's feed, but im almost surprised the couple times the announces call on Benn or Seguin. They look mostly invisible.
