Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[Machinehead]

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

It's easy to say I was right because I was right.

 

[Cmox]

how come we don't get buccigross and weekes?

 

[will1066]

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.

Kqkkq would've missed completely

It's easy to say I was right because I was right.

I wouldn't pay myself on the back too hard. It really wasn't that hard to think an older Tampa team with less depth would struggle against a better team. We would have kicked the shit out of them too, it's not rocket science.

 

[Machinehead]

The Islanders match up terribly against the Hurricanes. They're the Hurricanes but worse at everything.

You can't engage Roid Rage Rod and his club-swingers in a forecheck game. They're gonna win.

You have to score goals. That's why we hang in there against Carolina. We do our royal road shit and when the rock-chuckers have to score four goals, they can't.

So now you're admitting that I was right!

A lot of people were right, not just you. It wasn't hard to predict

People were shitting themselves over Tampa the whole year.

It still would be nice for them to win a couple of games and give Carolina a few more bumps and bruises.

The sadness will be Bird Box level when the horn sounds

Tampa spanked us the last few times we played them in the playoffs, i can see why people were a little worried about them. I didn't really care since i thought we matched up well with them and they have no depth. Either way, you can't just decide how people feel

Carolina will do a sufficient job hurting themselves.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol Isles.

Nobody's saying I can decide how people feel.

They're well within their rights to be wrong.

 

[will1066]

They can't even get into the zone

He wouldn’t know since his account was made a couple of days ago.

 

[EdJovanovski]

What a shift by Slavin

Ok good. Just making sure you knew. And being wrong is a part of life, shit happens sometimes. Personally i don't think there is a team in the East other than Florida that can match up with us. Maybe i'm wrong but i'll live.

 

[TriFF51]

I haven't watched Tampa all year...is Vasilevsky washed?

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

how come we don't get buccigross and weekes?

Bucci is mid (IMO). Dummy keeps saying after every third face-off that it was “50/50.” ???

 

[nyrallday]

I've been following for a long time. I saw plenty of people not wanting to play Tampa. I understood why but i didn't think they were a threat to us but that's my opinion.

2/3rds of them in their 30's and 'worse at everything'.

Hedman is.

 

[DialUp]

Tampa getting beat right now is no indication of what our series would have been like if we played them.

Same for Carolina beating the Islanders. Matchups are a thing, and I think the Rangers matchup against Car, but not so much TBL. It's play style and game breakers or lack thereof.

I don't think Tampa matched up well with us but you're right, matchups are definitely a thing and you never know how a series will go
