Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[bl02]

Stankoven is impressive. Dallas just ridiculous drafting.

I think its equally culture and development as well. Hoping we get some of the same from guys like Berard and Othmann

Leafs are too soft and mentally weak for the playoffs. Just a regular season team

True but the funny thing is that they are dressing a bigger/tougher d than years past along with some tougher forwards as well. They just don't have the goaltending and overall d to match the Bruins. Especially on the special teams.
Mentally you are right. The Bruins are mentally tougher for sure even with no Bergeron.

Ryan Callahan, please stop saying "Vegas" like that.

Weak call

 

[TheDirtyH]

Weak call

They let way too many things go before that.

Robertson having a great period

Nylander is a huge loss. Probably their best playoff performer.

Watching a Filipino player score makes me excited for Fil returning to action

 

[Boris Zubov]

That lead didn't last long.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Marchessault... another player we f***ed up on.

 

[will1066]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could finish off a 2 on 1 that competently?

 

[LeetchisGod]

I don't see who is beating Vegas in a 7 game series. Their only weakness is goaltending, but they're so good defensively it may not matter.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Every year there's a different reason that the Leafs lose in the playoffs. And I don't even care if fans realize how empty each new excuse is; the variance in flavours is sublime.

small and skilled.

 

[RangersFan1994]

All embellishment penalties should be double minor penalties especially if they also call hooking tripping etc

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Shame players every time they get called for diving, and even if they don't get called for it.

It's creeping up in the game.

 

[will1066]

Mess really minimizes looking to the right

carolina does it often

that central bracket is a beast. Edmonton is gonna coast to the WCF and whoever they face will have a pound of flesh taken out. I think the conference is McDavid's to lose. But you're right, if Vegas gets there, I wouldn't bet against them.

Stankoven is impressive. Dallas just ridiculous drafting.

I feel like they just take the top player from the CSS rankings. They always take guys that are being talked about here. They just don’t try to be the smartest man in the room.

 

[17futurecap]

Sick deflection from LA

 

[LeetchisGod]

Kempe is a hell of a player. Can't ask for more from a late first round pick.

 

[will1066]

Bono in Edmonton celebrating

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Drew Doughty needs to be studied by scientists.

 

[will1066]

What the f***

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What's with these DPE worthy games, more than halfway through the Dallas-VGK came shots are 12-9.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Stars really got hosed with this matchup.
