OT: Around the NHL: Go Cats Go

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm not that impressed by the Rangers. I doubt they make it past either the Canes or Panthers.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Is there any other way Vegas can gain an advantage for game six?

Rangers/Boston vs Edmonton would be the SCF I don’t watch lol

I'm barely watching any of this. Shit, I barely caught 15 full Penguins games this season.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Stars making me look slightly less moronic the last 3 games. Really hope they down Vegas. They're stacked. It's time.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Draisaitl vs Kings in the playoffs:
18GP-17G-13A-30P

He's their executioner.

 

[Turin]

Kings lol

Supposed to be a younger team and only have gotten worse every year since 2022

Their opponents have gotten stronger too. This is the Oilers peak, in the McDavid era. Knoblauch taught them how to defend. Finished 10th defensively this year.
Skinner has found his playoff form as well.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

The Wild really could've become a fixture in the West playoff race year after year but man Guerin's a f***ing schmuck for saddling them with $14M in dead cap for like 4 or 5 straight years or whatever it is.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Damn. 3 years in a row to the same opponent. Feel bad for Kings fans.

You actually caught 15 Pens games? Damn, you're a diehard.

Can't keep me away from some good ol' Sullivan hockey. Student of the game and all that.

Hey, maybe they'll get swept next year.

Have Tonya Harding pay a visit to Wyatt Johnston?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Stupid Kings

As much as it sucks he had to get rid of Parise and Suter

True but the Oil have enough issues still that it’s disappointing to go from losing in 7 to 6 to 5.

 

[66-30-33]

Kings beating Oilers IS their Stanley cup.

 

[BusinessGoose]

You how we complain that we traded jagr for garbage

Imagine trading the best player in the world for scraps and some cash

 

[End of Line]

AM out again for game 6

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm sure it's Matthews just being banged up (saw clips of him potentially being concussed against the Wings in game 80, saw a clip of him falling awkwardly behind the goal against the Bruins in this series where his leg looks like it gets tweaked a bit) but it would be f***ing HILARIOUS if this was a Patrick Roy moment where he just flat out refused to play for that organization again.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Say what you want about where he ranks in the regular season versus his peers (McDavid, MacKinnon, Draisaitl, Kucherov, etc.). But come playoff time, his production and performance is nowhere near those guys.

 

[66-30-33]

I’m not feeling good, I’m taking the playoff games off wah wah. You ain’t winning shit.

He needs Therrien in his ear

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

People shit on McDavid and Draisaitl for not being able to win but I don't know how anyone can say they're not pulling their weight. They're both producing at Mario levels in the playoffs.

That said; I hope the Oilers crater again and they ask out of that dogshit franchise. Wasted potential.
