Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[ArPanet]

Dang I wanted to see an epically dirty Washington Florida matchup.

Now it's Winnipeg's turn to get lost

I don’t know if that’s really “holding”. I’m not sure I don’t agree that it’s a bit “dirty” to fight with the defender for position on a loose puck like that, but that feels fairly soft.

I dislike the hurricanes more than the caps idk why. Caps have already won and I enjoy the Canes just failing every year. I want them to stay buns just like NYR

No worries. The Panthers will make short work of them.

I guess I am not alone

Caps exposed as the fake good team we knew they were

How the hell is that penalty on the Jets & not Marchment?

Are the Rangers going to finally get credit for beating this Caroloa team 2 of 3 seasons?

As long as you give most of the credit to Igor

Look at how many goals we averaged in the series and Igor gave up 3 or more goals in all but what one game? He's the only reason it went 6.

Giving Igor the credit where credit is due.

My wife enjoys me touching her caroloa.

Is Ovechkin staying for his last year or is he heading to the KHL?

 

[Row I Goon]

Harley puts it in his own net.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Jets at home vs Jets on the road is like 2 different teams

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

It pisses me off how much Connor McMichael looks like Sid from Toy Story.

Otter is genuinely a top tier goalie. Hank has been a fan for several years, he’s been praising Otter above most young goalies since his first year in the booth if I recall correctly. He is finding his consistency; when he was a bit younger he wasn’t as steady but the talent was there. Keep in mind he is a good deal younger than Igor, so this year’s playoffs for him are like Igor’s first trip to the ECF. He’s a verrrry good goalie. Younger than all of Igor, Hellebuyck, Sorokin, Vasilevsky, by a full 3-5 years each.

Dallas needs to find their offense badly tonight. Outside of three Finns - Rantanen, Hintz, Granlund - they’ve been fairly anemic. That Seguin post will haunt them tonight. Lindell is underrated; he’s been huge on D tonight. Robertson may be healthy but he hasn’t gotten back into the games. Slow start to the season and he was super hot, that injury was unfortunate.

Jets 5on3 incoming. NHL praying for a seven game series

 

[Row I Goon]

Dallas doing everything but score for the Jets.

Oh wait….

 

[Boris Zubov]

Quick whistle on the goalie mask coming loose, but it actually benefited the Jets.

And they score off the ensuing face off.

Petrovic is such a weak link. Now that Heiskanen is back he has no business in the lineup. Why Deboer is running 7 D and 11 forwards in favor of freaking Petrovic is beyond me, but he’s a decent coach so I’ll roll with it. Petrovic may be tough but he blows. Dressing 6 healthy D is fine.

Dallas coming out shorthanded here is baffling. NHL really disappointed with the way the number of games per series so far, eh?
