Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[GoAwayPanarin]

But yeah, you want to talk matchups? This is a bad one for Florida. Thought it was from the get go. Dallas was a much better matchup for the way Florida plays.

The layoff killed Florida. I thought Vegas would win but I thought it’d be tougher than this.

Bob has really masked how dreadful that Florida D is though. It’s been a hell of a run for that team with some really big moments but they’ve been throughly outplayed since the beginning of the Toronto series.

This is also the first time all playoff long that Florida has played a team that can fish the physical stuff back at them. It’s had an impact in this series.

That's a goal

Thanks!

The late 90s/early 2000s lives large in my brain

Knights are relentless

Too much Chipotle?

I hate that place. They are too loose with the cilantro, which I call stink weed.

FLA Live Arena right now….

Cilantro is ok in small doses...too much is harsh.

Lord have mercy.

Man Mahura has had quite a period. Oh my goodness.

Good job by Gudas clearing Bennett out of the crease

Layoff or not, Vegas just obliterated them where it is not close at all. It's the difference in the D corps like you said. But Vegas is just near perfection positionally. No one wins against that.

Florida's been a bigger mess than the Rangers in the blue paint

Yes, if it's chopped very finely, then it's okay. Indian restaurants leave it whole, and I almost puked one time I got a mouthful of it. Yuck.

Wife: I'm very proud of Vegas

Shut up, woman. I swear she does that to tweak me.

No... Just no.

For the longest time I thought restaurants were just shitty at rinsing their cookware or something. Turns out it was just cilantro.

It's like eating soap...

Keep that stuff away from food.

Talk about killer instinct. Vegas doesn’t stop and that’s how you win a Cup.

Wayne Gretzky is about to suit up for Florida in the third, drop 9 points and re-retire after taking a dump right on the VGK logo at center ice and saying “Conner McWhoVid?”

My GF is here rooting hardcore for them wearing her Karlsson jersey.

I'm here for it.

Cats just need a touchdown and they got the lead.

My wife has been actively rooting for Vegas just because I chose to root for Florida. She’s quite tickled tonight.

At least she has good taste with Wild Bill.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Would be lying if I wasn’t jealous and at the same time pissed at the Vegas fanbase for getting a new arena, team, a trip to the final and then a Cup all within about 5 years.

You haven’t earned it people! Lol it’s so easy isn’t it?

Congrats to them

If she breaks out a Howden jersey you need to leave her.

Her only jerseys are Shesty and Roope Hintz. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she wanted a Marchessault jersey next.
