Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

Of course Rodrigues’ wife is a babe. Make it make sense

 

[eco's bones]

FWIW I can see the Florida Panthers having a New Jersey Devils special Stanley Cup celebration. 150 cars doing a circle around their arena and about an hour and a half worth of speeches afterwards and then it'll be all over. Everybody goes home. More or less it'll be like a decent size wedding without enough beer or booze.

Nah it's Miami.

Shit's going to be lit.

Don't think I could have stomached our AHL coach leading a team from worst record in the league to winning the freaking cup.

 

[Row I Goon]

Hockey is lame

and yet, here we are....

 

[17futurecap]

Drai finished with 1 goal in his last 12 games, the playoffs can be a heartless short sample bitch.

 

[JimmyG89]

McDavid is going to score an even more obscene amount of points next season getting the conn smythe but losing the cup.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Not what you said all of last series.

I was wrong about Edmonton. They played much better than I thought they would.

Sudden urge to elbow...

 

[LionsHeart]

More often than not, bullies win the cup.

The Panthers were a team that made a shakeup to their core and it worked in strides.

 

[noncents]

Duly noted but Montrour was garbage this postseason.
I am a big Jones fan tho so bring on the little dman next year.

jones is good.
let jones play

I feel like Miami is the NYC of Florida while Tampa is more like the NJ of Florida. They are both in swamps. Tampa just took advantage of theirs's for their celebration. NJ was similar but they just used cars instead of boats.

Gonna be awesome when we see Trouba QB the 2nd pp unit over Jones next year.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

6 foot under 200 pound dmen Forsling and Montour saving the game late, not sure how that's possible, every dman has to be 6'5 250.

I'll be the first to say it, having length and/or wheels are wayyyy more important for a defenseman than they are for a forward.

But it's most important to be good. I'm all for adding a defenseman who has some size to them if they can play.

The Oilers and Panthers collectively had 2 defensemen who are legitimately bad players. The Rangers were running 2 guys in their top 4 who are either just as bad or flat out worse.

The support those guys get and desire to add other players of that ilk is something I won't understand.

Bruins quietly dropping bombs during the Cup presentation? WTH!

Bruins break up goalie duo, deal Ullmark to Sens

With the NHL draft and free agency on the horizon, the Boston Bruins on Monday traded veteran goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators for forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and the No. 25 pick in Friday's draft in Las Vegas.

Also, all of the people who fap to size are fine with 5'4" 120 pound Ryan Lindgren because it fits the narrative somehow.

Happened before the game.

Doesn't make the timing any less weird but the finals also took a month.

 

[Machinehead]

She looks like Gordon Ramsay in the first cut.

 

[17futurecap]

The Panthers beat the Rangers on June 1, and the Oilers beat the Stars on June 2nd, hilarious how long the final was.

 

[Synergy27]

The ice really helped Florida tonight. I’ve never seen McDavid fall so much or otherwise look so slow. Fatigue surely also a factor but that ice was BRUTAL as one might expect in Florida in July…

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

I had predicted Panthers in 7 mainly due to the goalie disparity being in Florida’s favor. And somehow, it did end up being the difference for a game 7 (despite how it ended up getting to a game 7, lol)

 

[17futurecap]

The NHL is master class at finding these grift owners.

Cmon. Three days between games is BS.
