Around the NHL: Part VII – Sweeps and Suspensions (Mod Warning Post #249)

When did u ever?

Looks like his dog died in every game

He was looking like a player using his skating and skill, which he does have, but after he was injured whatever was there was noticeably gone. Hence, my approval of his trade as the Rangers moved toward and inevitable rebuild.

They are my pick, right from a couple of days before end of season.

Watch Pittsburg go on fire now once they get the Lightning series updates on their Boost mobile phones.

So sweet that a future NY Ranger sealed the deal on what was THE most incredible, surprising, amazing upset in the history of hockey....just phenomenal stuff. I've run out of adjectives. I'm still shaking my head at what we just witnessed. I mean ****...the friggen Jackets have as good a chance to get out of the East as anyone and win the Cup....lol

Maybe the NHL

 

[aufheben]

So much for the narrative that he was back to himself and we lost out. Clearly he was exposed here and we again cut bait at the right time similar to Miller and Stepan.

RIP J.T. Miller's 90+ pts lol. 11 short of his best in NY. Ironically though, he was one of the only Lightning to show up this series.

Vegas is much better this year but wash prob would be favored I guess

Could easily see a rematch.

West is wide open.

Think St. Louis/Vegas is what I’m expecting in the conference finals

 

[Gresch04]

Keep up the Blue streak. Let’s go St. Louis.

 

[Machinehead]

Every difference I've ever had with Torts is forgiven.

I guess the Tampa pick could have been worse if they lost in the finals. Silver lining. ​

 

[Bob Richards]

I know we lost out on that 1st but that was still extremely exciting to watch.

One of the best things I've ever seen as a hockey fan.

 

[Fugazy]

Go Blues!

 

[darko]

East bracket is wide open now with TB and (likely) Pitt out in the first round.

Great news for Washington.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

We will be ok if stl louis does us a solid. Not too hopeful with Dallas.

I want them all!

 

[cheech70]

Tampa has some serious issues

Would be amazing then our jets pick would be what 20?

 

[Machinehead]

We gave Tampa all the albatross contracts so we could tank and draft Kakko.

They were the farm team the whole time.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Yeah they were rolling at the right time and had a statement game against Tampa (although maybe in hindisght not that big of a statement)...

Worth it.

I will bet you vCash options, puts and calls, with hedging, that this does not occur.
Bettman be damned

 

[will1066]

Welp, at least the five alarm fire has been put out LOL

It's straight out of an M. Night Shyamalan movie.

Oh but i thought Gorton lost the McD trade.

Don't listen to him Steve. Your window is just starting. We have a few more contracts for you.

 

[will1066]

The sadness in the lightning board is utterly exquisite

 

[NikC]

Tampa has zero leadership. They were up favorites! What a bunch of paper tigers

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

What’s the point of trying to build a perfect team? The best team of the cap era just got swept in the first round lol.

Sign Panarin, bring in Kakko, Kravtsov and a new D coach and we’re legitimate contenders it this is how it’s going to be.
