Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

[WhereO Is Kakko]

hopefully not

Yeah would love them to go as long as possible - wear each other out

 

[PuckLuck3043]

hopefully not

Piles have no chance.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Carolina in 5.

Maybe 4.

Isles are going to get pumped so hard. I thought the Rangers were a bad matchup for them but Carolina is probably worse.

 

[Jauffre]

What a sad group of losers

When fanbases share two commonalities: A hate/jealousy of the Rangers, and your team's been either mediocre or straight last place type of trash more times than not for 20+ years.

I was trying to be kind by giving them 1 win.

 

[17futurecap]

Vegas Edmonton round 1 would be delicious.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I could see NYR Caps or Pens going longer than Canes Isles. Canes are going to absolutely slap that team.

 

[Nickmo82]

It's insane to me that people are complaining about McDavid's 100 assists on the main board. So bitter. Seems to be entirely TML fans.

Both of those loser fanbases know the Rangers own this town.

Rangers win President’s Trophy but hey, McD got his 100th assist.

Maybe it’s just how it appeared on my own iPad and on the app but it doesn’t surprise me that one of Bettman’s darlings is more important than us topping the league….

Here's how an NHL.com headline appeared on my phone a few years back:

 

[Breaded Fox]

Truly shocking that the 2024 cup champions the New Jersey Devils aren't in it. They must have a bye for the first 4 rounds. Hahahahahaahahahahah

 

[Crease]

Give me anyone but the Pens. Really worried about the officiating in a Pens series.

 

[duhmetreE]

I think there's a decent chance the Piles vs Candycanes becomes a long series.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Longer than 4? It’s a brutal matchup for the Isles.

Special teams are going to kill them if getting pumped 5v5 doesn’t get them first.

 

[NYRKing]

who do we prefer in rd 1? I’m torn.

Also not sure CAR will run the Piles. Those games will be close, and hopefully painful for both.

Wings.

They suck.

Washington also sucks but the good Lindgren is capable of stealing a series.

I don't want to drop any names, just look what happened to Boston last year.
Just win the 16 games whoever you're facing.

 

[NYR Viper]

Wings.

They suck.

Washington also sucks but the good Lindgren is capable of stealing a series.

In order:
Detroit
Washington
Pittsburgh

Assuming Philly is D, E, D, Ded

Expecting 7 2-1 games with a 45-21 shot advantage for Carolina in all of them

This wasn't as bad.

They plastered the Red Wings beating the Canadiens over our win.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Sabres fired Don Granato.

I wonder if they go after Peca.

 

[NYR94]

 

[Rangers2319]

so either det or wash win tonight and pens done. two chances

I want to count Pittsburgh out but they have 9 lives. Detroit is playing their Stanley Cups against Montreal and can barely squeak by, and Washington playing low event games is dangerous against a team that plays like Torts Flyers.

I see Islanders fans talking about resting guys Wednesday against PIT. Would be a gutless move to cool themselves down when theyve been raging hot but it would be the window Pittsburgh needs.
