OT: Around the NHL: Go Cats Go

[canadianguy77]

Might be the dumbest series I’ve ever watched. Worse than the time we were swept by the Bruins with Iginla the wrong line and wing.

Carolina should be on the verge of sweeping the Rags and it’s the other way around.

The Rangers won the President's Trophy.

So? Theyve been outplayed the entire series.

Keeps happening to them, it’s not dumb at this point it’s a flaw in their organization.

Maybe the grass isn’t greener for Jake after all

 

[Al Smith]

He's done his point-per-game thang. At least he got to play in a couple playoff series. will be interesting to see where he ends up next year and how much $$ he lands.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Carolina is a joke


Keep cheaping out on goalies by all means

Jarry for a sign and traded Guentzel

 

[canadianguy77]

Some hope….

 

[Al Smith]

Cool. Finally a PP goal.

Their goalie shit the bed. It happens. But the Rangers aren’t good. They should be looking at getting swept themselves.

 

[Turin]

Nice.

A 3-0 comeback would be delicious

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Yeah I can totally tell by the series score.
"Outplayed" lol. You should know better as a Pens fan. You only outplay teams when you score more than them, since that's the objective of the game.

The Canes really need Pesce if they want to keep the series going.

Chatfield has been a disaster from the first game.

I think the biggest thing is that they’re too safe from an offensive point of view. Like our team, always looking for the extra pass and perfect play. If they’d just start firing pucks knowing that they’re likely to be blocked they’d have more success. Rod, like Sully, hates that style of offense though because it can go the other way with a bad bounce.

But a team like Carolina possesses so well, I think you take that trade-off. Especially against a goalie like Shesterkin. He reads the plays so well you almost have to get good bounces and unplanned deflections to score on him.

If the conference finals turn out to be Panthers-Rangers and Oilers-Stars, as it’s trending, I’ll have some very clear rooting interests, which I don’t particularly want lol…

If the team I follow isn't in the post-season I generally root for teams to lose that I am not particularly fond of not really picking another team to follow.... just hoping for certain teams to lose =]

If the Stars can get through Vegas and Colorado, no reason the Cup can't go back to Texas this year.

I don't know what it is about the Stars, but they're just one of those teams for me that I don't think they have a championship in them until they actually do it. They're kind of the Carolina Hurricanes of the West for me, but I can't really put my finger on why that is.

That's just bias from a prolonged Cupless run, and lacking media hype due to missing marquee names and a quieter market. This is the strongest built team they've had since '99 though. It's now or never.
Just need health and solid play from Oettinger.

I think the difference between the Canes and the Stars is Robertson and Heiskanen are legitimate top five discussions at their position versus Slavin and Aho being more in the top ten realm.

Like Roope Hintz is basically Aho.

Also, the Stars have added Wyatt Johnson and Stankoven who are just absolutely absurd and then Thomas Harley.

If the league goes right the SCF should be Stars vs Cats and tbh that's the two best teams this year IMO.

Without hate we have nothing.

 

[Andy99]

Damn you, Panthers…please do not force a Bruins-Rangers ECF on us!

which is why its crazy that carolina is talking about moving on from him.

 

[End of Line]

TD Garden is eerily quiet for a playoff game

Karlsson for Marner and we sign Pesce.
