Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[Jim Ramsay]

Tampa losing to a better team does not exactly improve the path.

I hear ya, but Any game we dont have to face Vazy in net is a bonus

 

[will1066]

He was barely able to speak

 

[Graves97]

Why? We're the road team tomorrow night.

Mean reversion.

 

[Kravtsov420]

i wish the rangers could forecheck like that in my dreams, come on and win tomorrow you p***yes.

this is an alternative universe where the leafs are in round 2 and the bruins are the chokers....

neil degrasse says anything's possible!

 

[Boris Zubov]

He legitimately sounds as drunk as Bob Uecker in Major League.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Boston set a record for most points, were the hands down cup favorite, finished 43 points ahead of Florida, had a 3-1 lead in the series, were leading 3-2 in this game and allowed tying goal with less than a minute to play and proceeded to lose in OT. Can you imagine the meltdown on this board if that happened to the Rangers?

 

[Kane One]

Oh, the humanity, Jack.

Omg, someone please re-dub this

He sure does!! He's really shaken up!

 

[Filip Chytil]

Does anyone have a video of the hit on Cogliano.

 

[NYR94]

Edwards has not sounded good all year. Sounds like he had a stroke.

Honestly man as a lifelong Rangers fan, the only way a team owned by Dolan can ever surprise me is by winning its league's championship.

I also wonder what this does to the mindset of teams still in it? To an extent you can imagine them playing pretty loose as "all roads lead through Boston" and as they were the unstoppable force, expectations could be kept pretty low.
Now, suddenly it really is anyone's Cup and the nerves and expectations might start kicking in

 

[ohbaby]

Release the Kraken!

 

[New York RKY]

I hope the Kraken beat the sit out of Georgiev

Making Georgiev spend the rest of his life standing sounds like cruel and unusual punishment, even for him.

 

[HANK30]

All these road teams winning in overtime....that doesn't bode well for us in New Jersey

Are you a Devils fan on the wrong board?

 

[Machinehead]

Genuinely feel bad for the guy tbh.

I maintain that he's really not that biased unless it's the Habs and he's trying way harder to be upbeat here than I've heard a lot of opposing announcers try.

He's genuinely losing his words he's so upset, but credit for trying.

 

[HANK30]

The Bruins should have cheated like the Patriots and Red Sox...maybe it would have helped.

While not quite the discrepancy, if HFBoards were a thing in 1992, it would be just as bad.

And this is a team whose star forwards have already won a Stanley Cup.

Stop trying to derive human meaning from losing. It's all just numbers.

 

[Machinehead]

That winning goal is because of Marchand and Bertuzzi doing what they always do - running at the puck completely disregarding context.

That's that playoff grit.

3-2 with less than a minute to play and to lose it on OT?

I know one poster would unleash all his wrath and fury at Shesterkin.

 

[Filip Chytil]

McAvoy looked terrible tonight

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Dallas IMHO is now the team to beat. They're going to get a hobbled Colorado with Georgiev in goal, or a scrappy Kraken.

They can out goalie the Oilers or outskill the Knights.
