Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[GoAwayPanarin]

Really impressed with Florida in this series.

I know this isn't Tampa of 2021 but they're not that easy of a team to play against.

 

[Machinehead]

Tried to tell you guys this Tampa team is nothing.

They're not Vegas or the Kings back in the day taking the regular season off.

They were a 6 seed because that's what they are.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

The window has closed on Tampa. They've lost too much depth.

They got two cups. I'm not shedding tears for them.

Was going to say the same. Their current role players don't have the magic of the ones in past years.

 

[Machinehead]

They lost a lot of depth and also

Don’t feel bad for them at all. Their window is quickly closing and Stamkos might be leaving as a UFA.

When a team relies so much on Brandon Hagel, you know you are toast.

If Carolina gets the next one, it's going to be game set match.

Embellishment much, Pelech?

They really doubled down on pointless grit when attempting to replace their depth, too.

Paul scores 4-3 Panthers

Mickey Mouse cups tbh

Me neither.

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Sort of an obvious observation but when Isles forecheck well like they have the last five minutes, they show Canes weakness in exiting the zone - lots of fumbling around and missed passes, etc.

Hope the Ranger staff is watching…

Cats, now and forever at the Winter garden theater

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Isles playing the most caveman style hockey imaginable but it’s actually causing trouble in front of Andersen

Spooki scari Tampa down 3-0

They've got no creativity on offense. Second goal they actually did some nice criss crossing

The Hurricanes play a better version of the same thing.

We won that series because we just scored a bunch of goals in games 6 and 7 and they were just like

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Isles are at least tied and probably winning this game if Varlamov started.

Can't blame people for not wanting to play Tampa. Tampa owned us the last time we played them in the playoffs. 2015 too. It makes sense that some fans would feel a bit weird about playing them. You had no clue how Florida-Tampa would go. I didn't think Tampa Bay would beat us if we did play them but i see why people were nervous

I was saying how it would go since Christmas.

You made a guess, you didn't actually know anything. Should have bet your life on the series winner then if you were so sure. Easy to say you were right when it's 3-0 Florida

 

[Profet]

Romanov had the game on his stick

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That was a tougher tuck than the one Dobson beefed in game 1 but lets not act like it was an all time save Weekes.

He shot that right into his glove lol.

 

[will1066]

Save on his ass
