Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[Boris Zubov]

This is a weird one.

With the exception of Yanni Gourde, there's not a player on this Seattle team I would give a second thought.

Which isn't the weirdest thing, but then their coach is Dave Hakstol.

The NHL is so f***ing random.

That's why you need to balance high end talent with enough guys who can skate & are relentless. That's what wins in the playoffs.

Kraken have kracked this game open

 

[duhmetreE]

Seattle going full Torts.... collapsing all 5

 

[Machinehead]

almost like it's a team game.

I have it on good authority that talented teams are also capable of playing a team game.

Nothing will ever be worse than that AHL ass Montreal team making the SCF in 2021.

We could use his speed.

I like that Kartye kid. He hustles and has some speed and skill. Rangers can use a player like that.

Where is the high end talent in this equation???

 

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

wonder if the flyer faithful still thinks that hakstol sucks as a coach.

This is the call from Panthers pxp man Steve Goldstein.

Steve Goldstein is a fun listen. Great play by play guy IMO.

They have a solid team and are pretty fast.

Absent. Seattle clearly doesn't have enough....they might win this series, but they aren't winning the Cup.

 

[Machinehead]

They have a solid team and are pretty fast.

I guess.

On paper, there's probably only 4 or 5 teams with a worse roster.

Bjorkstrand, Dunn and McCann are all awesome.

 

[hackeyman]

Holy shit. East is wide open now.

Why, what's changed?

 

[duhmetreE]

Where is the high end talent in this equation???

We're trading Panarin there.

but they have great role players. Each player has a specific role/talent and it comes together well. The sum is greater than the parts.

McCann and Dunn had great seasons.

 

[bl02]

Bjorkstrand, Dunn and McCann are all awesome.

and I haven't watched much of them this year but some say Larsson has been a terrific dman. Yes Adam Larsson.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Avs with a 2 on 0 & no SOG. LOL

 

[Machinehead]

Bjorkstrand, Dunn and McCann are all awesome.

McCann isn't even playing

 

[Filip Chytil]

Avs needed Rantanen to bury that one

 

[will1066]

Kraken have kracked this game open

Krackheads and c(h)oked up

 

[broadwayblue]

Let's see a NY/FL ECF. That would be good times.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Why, what's changed?

Uh, The cup favorites lost.

 

[will1066]

Avs with a 2 on 0 & no SOG. LOL

Hubris!

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Why? We're the road team tomorrow night.

Are we though?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

McCann isn't even playing

Yeah he's hurt.

 

[Machinehead]

C'mon guys, "Seattle has a shit roster" isn't my hottest take today.
