Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

Your profile picture is funny. Do you have the full clip of that?

Here you go @gabevh3

 

[Machinehead]

Am I crazy for saying, after watching many of these playoff games, that no other team in these playoffs scare me?

Vegas scares the shit out of me.

Their lineup is stupid when they're healthy and they're starting to have that vibe of not even trying until the third round.

Stars camera angle sucks every year.

 

[JRinNYC]

So NYI and EDM are the two teams in the playoffs that do not have an ex-Rangers player in their lineup?

 

[will1066]

better than Weekes in the bathroom. or his living room. or the staircase

Well said

 

[Captain Lindy]

Hyman broke the Kings. Pun intended.

 

[17futurecap]

Laughing at all the hats.

 

[huerter]

Does Hyman make the NHL without the royal road?

 

[jniklast]

What the hell was Noah "better-than-Fox" Dobson doing on the go ahead goal by the Canes? Giving the puck away twice like that in just 9 seconds between the two goals is quite the achievement.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Dobson was brutal on the go ahead goal

 

[Black Tank]

Not even

They're better now. We lost to them at the corona playoffs before that. lol

FFS man, this Rangers team has very little in common with previous years as demonstrated over an 82 game sample size.

Agreed. This is a year with a lot of parity and no real runaway powerhouses.

If Edmonton stays on turbo mode nobody’s touching them.

Drew copp was a couple years ago lol

Um, not Andrew. Matthew.

Here you go @gabevh3

Doesn't work for some reason but thanks..It's fake right? I don't recall it.

Um, not Andrew. Matthew.

Who's Matthew copp?lol

 

[gabevh3]

Hyman broke the Kings. Pun intended.

At least you got the period on point .. maybe also intended

I'm not gonna make any playoff predictions, but I have to say,... I'll be very glad we only have to play one team in the west. IMO, there isn't a team in the west that I don't fear. Every team in the western conference is dangerous. Except maybe LA. The Oilers look like they will roll over them. I don't look forward in facing EDM, or COL, or VGK, or VAN. Even WIN or NASH.

In the east, who must we worry about? Maybe the Canes and that's it. Freddy Andersen has only lost once in 12 games, since returning from blood clots.

I sure thought Wash would put up more of a fight, but they looked overmatched and absolutely cooked after just one game. A sweep is a very real possibility.

 

[wolfgaze]

VGK won their game with only 15 shots on goal - I wonder what the record is for fewest shots on goal to win an NHL playoff game (and I have no idea how one would even look that up)

It's not fake. It happened in Colorado. Laviolette tossed the puck to the kid sitting behind him, but the kid wasn't paying attention and almost hit the kid. The reaction by Lavi was hilarious.

The goaltending out West and even in the East (other than Varlamov) has been from comical to average at best. It really makes every team beatable. We haven't really seen Igor tested yet but he stopped everything that came his way other than the multiple skate deflection goal.

 

[Profet]

I'm not sleeping on Washington yet... Still three games to win. And they are a team where I fear we may not get out of the series 100% healthy.

Rangers should be embarrassed if they cant beat this Caps team in 5 or less.

Is Pesce out long term?

That could be a big blow for Carolina

 

[NYR Viper]

Are the games not on ESPN plus?

I had the same problem. Are they asking you for your cable login?
