Around the NHL: Part XIII – Lamie Benn Edition

[bl02]

Faceoffs faceoffs faceoffs. Finally burned them.
Just as they were playing better. f***ing cruel joke

 

[Richard Banger]

Well I now really really hope the blues win the cup. But in reality the Bruins will win another cup because why not.

 

[LORDE]

Wish Dallas lost in round 1 than like this

Zucc was one of their best players this post season... that does mean something moving forward. I understand the sentiment tho. But think about it... something still at stake

 

[NYRKING30]

At least Zucc scored tonight, that has got to help his case lol (looking for some sort of positive).

 

[bl02]

Playoffs are over. Hope the Avs somehow get a win since these last few days have been garbage

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Would have been nice if Dallas came out in OT and tried to win rather than not loose. Oh well

 

[New York RKY]

**** the blues.

 

[Kovalev27]

Almost too good to be true.

You hope Dallas has no reservations now on keeping zucc. Cost them a late second and a first. Hopefully they can get it done.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

f*** you stars.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Blues fans be like

"Wow...pinch me...the third round..."

 

[aufheben]

Stupid hockey.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Robert Thomas was picked one spot before Chytil

I don't know what a Hurricanes - Bruins matchup looks like.
Probably because I have no idea, I don't write Carolina off yet. Bruins are pretty much at their peak right now, no big injury problems. Same with the Hurricanes, though, I think.

 

[bl02]

Zucc played as well as one could against a stingy defensive team and yet I don't know if he will sign in Dallas. They obviously aren't a Zucc away from coming close to the cup

 

[RGY]

Dallas deserved what they got. They had a chance to close this out at home. They dont.

Then they just get completely shelled in Game 7. Bishop was the only thing standing between this game being a blowout.

How did Dallas even make it this far with that inept offense? Cant even imagine where they would be without Zucc’s 8 points.

 

[Polar Bear]

Damn, oh well. If I only had to choose one 1st though, I'd rather it be 2020. Hope them not losing this year's first makes it easier for them to swallow next year's.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Would have been nice if Dallas came out in OT and tried to win rather than not loose. Oh well

Dallas played pretty well in the second half of the first OT and most of the second OT. They just can't win a face/off to save themselves.

 

[bl02]

Robert Thomas was picked one spot before Chytil

I've said it all playoffs the kid is incredible. He is all over the place in the offensive zone. If he ever finds a goal scoring touch forget about it. Thomas and Chytil will both be good players Thomas just has more of a motor. The kind you look for in playoff games like this.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Zucc played as well as one could against a stingy defensive team and yet I don't know if he will sign in Dallas. They obviously aren't a Zucc away from coming close to the cup

If he doesn't, he's probably going to Philly.

 

[LORDE]

Again... getting #2 was WAYYYY MORE IMPORTANT

Don’t have to like this but could’ve been worse

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Stars have to sign Zucc now.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Disappointing.

I don't understand how you can lose at home and then put in such a lackluster effort for an away game 7. Just defies logic.

 

[trilobyte]

Saint Louis Blues didn't suck this year, the way they always did.
I don't see them as a Stanley Cup candidate but my picks so far this playoffs have sucked.

 

[RGY]

100%. That team does not look like a team that is close to winning a cup. They have Benn-Seguin-Radulov and then a mixed bag of players after that aside from zucc. No real offensive talent. A lot of blue collar players but that only gets you so far when your shot total is doubled in game 7 and you need one goal to win.

I dont know if Zucc would want to sign there. Its why making the WCF was so key for us. Because I did not see them getting past the WCF.

 

[Tob]

Now we wait for news of extending Zucc.
