OT: Around the NHL: Go Cats Go

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Cats in six, instead of five.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Shit f***

Would have been nice for New York to go down 2 to 0.

But, they barely held on at home.

With double the power plays.

Florida was the better team. If I were New York, I wouldn't be feeling good.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

That was Bobrosvsky's first playoff OT loss in 13 games.

That's just nuts.

f*** the Rags

I'm starting to wonder who will be gifted more power plays, the Rangers or the Oilers? What I worry about is upon Florida winning the series and Edmonton winning in the West, the Panther's PK is going to be getting worked hard.

Paul Maurice is pretty much doing stand up comedy in the post match questions.

Seems pretty chill.

I mean, I literally referenced those San Jose teams as an example of what I meant, who made it to the Cup final against us in 2016.

I'm talking about a team who can finish at or near the top of the standings in the regular season, but for whatever reason, just doesn't seem to have that "it" factor when it comes to winning it all.

I know what you're talking about. I just don't agree with your labels or line of thinking.

A "paper tiger" is a team that doesn't meet expectations, relative to the strength of their top tier roster.
This is the Stars 3rd year in the playoffs with this new core. In year 1 they had 98 points and weren't expected to do much. In year 2 they had 108 points and lost in 6 games to the Cup champs in the 3rd round, which is a very successful season.
And this is year 3, where they took out the defending Champs and a very serious contender.

It's premature to talk about what they can't do. It's year 2 of their window to win it all, and they've won 5 of 6 series'. We can talk about this in like 4-5 years, if they fail to win.

 

[Turin]

damn would have been nice to put Rags in a big hole early. Oh well

We saw what the PP discrepancy did for them the previous round

 

[AuroraBorealis]

No Sid at the Worlds cost Canada. Not that I blame him after playing 82 games for this team, under this coach.

 

[End of Line]

Stars 1-0

 

[Tom Hanks]

Stars had the lead for about 30 seconds. 1-1

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

[Tom Hanks]

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

I just want Edmonton eliminated.

Even if it takes the Stars 7

 

[Turin]

Annnd Dallas looks like it forgot how to defend again

They’re honoring the Pens tonight…lol

I think most like to make fun of Edmonton, the team and the city.

Although if I lived there I’d be able to afford a house but then I’d have to live in Edmonton

Oilers pretty good at scoring after being scored on

Fair enough.

I myself can’t stand McDavid or Draisaitl or their whiny ass pansy fanbase.

 

[Borgir]

Home ownership in Edmonton is great, and there is a ton of money to be made here. Just boring as f*** but that's what holidays are for.

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]
