Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

McJesus, 8 points in two games

The Jovo Jinx is undefeated.

Can he talk shit about Kakko if he hasn't already?

That unfortunately seems to be the one player who is immune to this.

McJesus, 8 points in two games

Is this what a captain should do when the team is against the wall?

 

[mike14]

It's hard to keep up, do the Panthers still have that 'dog in them' with the 'will to win'?

 

[AirGut]

now it's a series

 

[bbny]

This has turned into such a good series to watch.

It's a bit depressing though because it is pretty clear that the Rangers aren't at the level of either of these teams, and getting harder to see them attaining this level of hockey with the core they have

Yes, and shame on Barkov for not coming through, the bum!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I guess?

I mean he's f***ing McDavid. The list of players who are capable of doing this to the Panthers is limited to just him.

If he leads a reverse sweep and ends up setting the all time record for points in a playoff run it will be the most legendary shit ever.

Tkachuk with the greatest non goalie save in hockey’s history. If the Panthers somehow prevail that’s going to be the Flying Bobby Orr non goalie save for the rest of eternity.

Imagine if our stars put in the effort of McDavid tonight.

Mcdavid gave Mikkola the Patrik Nemeth special

You'll have to be more specific

Nothing will top Mason McTavish's in the GMG at the WJC's a few years ago.

I think it was Jay Beagle (someone on the Caps) who had the best one I've seen at this level.

McDavid is generational not just because of his physical skills but because he has the heart of a champion

I agree. The answers are going to have to come from within themselves. As a basketball analogy, it’s a little different - but a lot of people said the same thing about the Celtics and they figured it out. We just have to wait and see

174 points in 99 games this year, on another level.

 

[Kovalev27]

Are the panthers starting to run out of gas?

Piece of cake. We just need to draft 1OA, 1OA, 1OA, 7OA, 3OA, 1OA, 4OA in seven consecutive drafts. Then we'll be as good as Edmonton.

Nemeth and Trouba, a McDavid wet dream

 

[mike14]

174 points in 99 games this year, on another level.

And he's been doing it for 3 years. Last 3 seasons regular + playoffs he's at 503 points in 289 games

i mean we got to draft 7, 9 , 2 , and 1.

And got 1 good player out of it .

And he's not a super generational mutantn cyborg like McDavid is.

Even still, they are very unlikley to win this series.

Panarin was better against the Panthers.

I am also very surprised that Gretzky had not done this.

Part of me is pissed he plays in Western Canada, and I don't watch him as much as I should, but then part of me realizes he could be on a Rangers rival, so keep doing your thing out there in the middle of no where.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Panthers are the dirtiest team in the nhl. Look what they done to my boy, Jimmy Vesey. Injured him and took him out of the fla-ny series without even a penalty. Now revenge is a dish best served cold.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

lol Florida is sweating.
