Around The NHL: Part IX - Blues: Mission Accomplished, Dallas: TBD

[Beacon]

Not only does this give the Rangers a shot at a first, it also moves up the Jets pick one more spot. Need Carolina and the Knights to win.

BYE BYE nashville. You will never sniff a cup. Your best forward was Rocco Grimaldi.
The Zuke lives on

 

[LeetchisGod]

Nashville's forwards just aren't good enough.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Dallas!!!!

 

[bl02]

This Stars team is so even keeled wow. Benn interviewed on saturday and now Bishop just going about their business.

 

[Harbour Dog]

If Carolina and Vegas can pull out game 7 wins, then this would of been a storybook first round for the Rangers!

Aside from Tampa getting hilariously destroyed that is. But sometimes sacrifices need to made in the name of comedy.

 

[bl02]

we are at 21 now boys! Vegas needs to win tomorrow and we are 20.
Amazing win.

 

[RGY]

Nashville just cant get the job done. Such a deep group and they cant get it done. This group might have been as deep, if not deeper, than any of their recent playoff runs. Their big guns did not show up.

Dallas had one legitimate line. The other lines were workman like but nothing of the talent Nashville had on lines 2-4.

 

[RGY]

we are at 21 now boys! Vegas needs to win tomorrow and we are 20.
Amazing win.

Highest we can get to is 19? With a Vegas and Carolina win?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Also, GOAT Offseason still rolling

not while the Fishsticks are still in it

 

[Black Aces]

Highest we can get to is 19? With a Vegas and Carolina win?

18 if everything breaks correctly.

 

[Hire Sather]

Eventually that Nashville window will close.

Although we said the same about Washington

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

not while the Fishsticks are still in it

They’ll be gone and forgotten soon enough

Highest we can get to is 19? With a Vegas and Carolina win?

If Vegas/Colorado, St. Louis/Dallas, Carolina, and Columbus get to the conference finals, we get 18.

One of St. Louis/Dallas is guaranteed to get there thanks to Dallas' win today. Which is why we're at 21. If Vegas wins tomorrow, one of them/Colorado are guaranteed, which would get us to 20.

Carolina winning g7 wouldn't guarantee we move up, but give us another chance.

 

[nyrage]

We're halfway there. The only thing better would have been for Zucc to have scored the game-winner.

The next round will be tougher, but it could be a double first-round payoff. Need a good series from Zucc.

 

[bl02]

Eventually that Nashville window will close.

Although we said the same about Washington

Its closing they don't have anyone in Ovechkins worlds. I would say they don't even have an Oshie or a Kuznetsov or a Backstrom.

 

[PanMan]

Zucc shaking hands with his left

Highest we can get to is 19? With a Vegas and Carolina win?

18 if Carolina wins and Jackets win next round. Jackets against Bruins/Leafs and Carolina vs Islanders (ugh).

 

[Tob]

Zucc shaking hands with his left

Quick, someone factor this into our draft position.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

If Dallas gets to the WCF and the Rangers can snag another first...watch out league

 

[bl02]

Zucc shaking hands with his left

Didn't see that. damn. Hopefully that arm will fully heal in the next 3-4 days lol

 

[bl02]

Quick, someone factor this into our draft position.

Was that another Gorton condition? If Zucc shakes hands with his right hand we lose the right to the first rounder in 2019?

 

[bl02]

They’ll be gone and forgotten soon enough

Not so sure if the Canes win.

 

[Calad]

Highest we can get to is 19? With a Vegas and Carolina win?

If Carolina wins we can get as high as 18. We need teams lower than the Jets to get to the final four. Dal vs stl locks in 21. Colorado vs Vegas would lock in 20. Then we'd need cbj and/or canes to win their round to move up further

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Was that another Gorton condition? If Zucc shakes hands with his right hand we lose the right to the first rounder in 2019?

I believe Zuc needs to play in at least half their playoff games as well, so an injury could derail it even if Dallas wins the next round.
