Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Gotta respect if not love Rod Brind'Amour. He has a chance to both Captain his team and Coach his team to a Stanley Cup. Only other guy I can think of who basically did that was Der Kaiser, Franz Beckenbauer. Maybe there's others., idk.

I wouldn't blame the Islanders for getting dirty and throwing flying elbows in response to that dive and PPG. I wouldn't blame the Canes either if they decided to get ahead of it and just threw some chin shots preemptively.

Also they can take Necas out for the mock flying after he scored. I'd like to punch his lights out.

I’m at a sportsbook and with about 10 to go in the first tied at 1 I placed a bet on Carolina +320 to win the first period. I’m an idiot. Also placed a little MSG parlay on the Rangers and Knicks game ones. They’re both f***ed now.
 
any career ending injuries? I missed the first 5 minutes of the 2nd period
 
The playoffs are a different beast. I'm surprised how many people are just writing off the Islanders and Capitals given our history of having close series' against everybody these past 20 years.

The Rangers haven't played the capitals in 9 years.

There is one Ranger on the current roster who was on that one and what, 2 Capitals?

Anyway, at this point this game is kind of a must win for the Islanders. I don't think they have it in them to bounce back from a deflating loss after playing a team that should be smoking them in a close game.

Nothing to do with the roster construction. I just mean that we've seen time and time again that playoff series' get stretched out to 6 and 7 games very easily, regardless of who the opponent is. Assuming the Canes will dominate the Isles or we'll dominate Washington is more wishful thinking than how playoff hockey actually works most of the time.
