Around The NHL: Part X – DAL-STL / COL-SJ / CBJ-BOS / CAR-NYI

[NYR94]

Every division winner eliminated in the 1st round. Crazy.

 

[Tawnos]

Lmao lucky ass Islanders with the cake walk to the ECF. This Penguins team was an abomination compared to the Penguins we faced in 2016.

Not for nothing, but the Hurricanes had more ROWs than the Islanders did. The teams in the metro were pretty even up and down. Most ROWs in the division? Columbus.

 

[Black Aces]

Gotcha, but it helps our odds at least.

Exactly. Keep rooting for those 4 ;-)

 

[mike14]

Excellent deflection for the winner. Canes deserved it after being the better team in OT.
Just a crazy playoffs this year

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Carolina looks just like Vegas last night. ****.

Are the OT intermissions drastically shorter than regular intermissions?

Yeah, to everyone on earth except Lucas Wallmark. Sorry, I'm still pissed about that.

Yea they are only 15 min compared to the regular 18 min.

Agree that it was an anticlimactic goal for a Game 7 OT winner. Basically happened off camera.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Does that mean we're at 20 now?

Yes. Now we need both the Avs and Blue Jackets to win in the next round. And, of course, the Stars, too.

 

[Fugazy]

Go Canes Go.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Carolina will give them a harder time than Pitt.

Much harder.

I don't think people realize just how bad Pittsburgh was. I mean we beat them

 

[Machinehead]

Right in front of f***ing Tom Wilson too.

[Paulie Walnutz]

You can see the difference between Trotz and Rierdan. Rierdan went full AV turtle every time they had a lead in the series. Rierdan reminds me of this guy, the fiancé from Kindergarten Cop. The Caps were dead in the overtimes, no energy. You could see that coming a mile away.

 

[will1066]

I feel like Brind'Amour is a good bench boss

 

[Polar Bear]

Yes. Now we need both the Avs and Blue Jackets to win in the next round. And, of course, the Stars, too.

Hearing 2 different things. Are we down to 20 yet or do we need to wait for teams to make the conference finals?

 

[Tawnos]

We really need to add the draft pick run down to the sticky.

 

[SA16]

Not for nothing, but the Hurricanes had more ROWs than the Islanders did. The teams in the metro were pretty even up and down. Most ROWs in the division? Columbus.

Yea it's not a cakewalk. Canes are a better team than the Caps. The big advantage the Islanders do get now is they have home ice.

 

[NYR94]

5 out of 8 series won by the lower seed.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Those bunch of jerks deserved it. Now beat those damn Piles.

 

[haveandare]

Bruins are heavy favorites of the teams left imo

 

[Doctyl]

So this is real good for the Jets pick. If I understand it correctly, it’s already moved down one spot and potentially moves down 3 more if CAR, CBJ, and COL move on.

Also go Dallas, Texas pile love 2 more firsts from them.

Great, now I don't have to root for the Islanders.

I didn't wanna have to do that to you guys.

Why?

 

[bl02]

Hope svech is back soon

We're not down to 20. Black Aces' response was exactly right.

 

[Black Aces]

Much harder.

I don't think people realize just how bad Pittsburgh was. I mean we beat them

That Strome goal that ultimately got us Kakko is right up there with Stephane Matteau's

 

[Metranger]

Ty.

 

[trilobyte]

Yes. Now we need both the Avs and Blue Jackets to win in the next round. And, of course, the Stars, too.

All these teams are so easy to cheer for anyway.

 

[Tawnos]

Hearing 2 different things. Are we down to 20 yet or do we need to wait for teams to make the conference finals?

We need to wait.

Winnipeg’s pick started at 22 and moves up for any team in the conference finals that was below them in the regular season standings. At this point, that can be Carolina, Columbus, Colorado, Dallas, or St Louis. One of Dallas or St Louis has to make the WCF, since they play each other. That guarantees 21. Nothing else is guaranteed unless any of those others move on to round 3.
