Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[NickyFotiu]

If the cup is the end game for McDavid, he will never leave a team with Drai, Bouchard, Hyman, Ekholm for JT Miller, a bust in Laf and role player Will Cuylle. Ekholm by himself is a better player than KAM and Schneider combined.

Respectfully, I don't think you nor I can say what McDavid will do.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

In the scenario Nicky brought forth he had Fox included in the package for McDavid. Ergo, no Fox on the Rangers.

Oh. Yeah then idk our d corps would be 32nd out of 32 without him

Very true. Also, there is common sense.

 

[toNYRico]

Predictions for tonight and tomorrow?

Luckily I have been able to do pretty well in life without that

Predictions for tonight and tomorrow?

think that TB will pull it out tonight even if I still think Fla is the better team. Also think the Knights wake up and get it done.
Have no idea about the other two games but would especially like to see the Sens at least make it a series.

How have the games been? Haven’t watched any yet

Edmonton is pathetic. Ekholm out and they’re allowing 6 per game. McDavid’s going to get paid on his next contract for what he did on this contract and never put up 125+ again either.

Ottawa and Montreal didn’t belong. Good for Ottawa to take a step and finally make it but they need to keep improving the roster. NJ has a very strong roster but it goes to show how good Jack actually is that they don’t even stand a chance without him. Hate him all you want, Jack and Quinn are both elite talents. Jack’s inability to stay healthy is going to be the Devils downfall - Quinn’s missed some games but seems heartier, Jack should ask for some tips.

Dallas digging really deep to be ahead in this series. When they reach this level, which they do every playoffs, they become a very tough out but the usually run out of gas playing this way.

I’ll take Edmonton choking the next couple seasons if it even slightly increases our chances of landing McDavid.

Not sure if it bothers anyone else but is it true TNT is not sending the play by play guys to the arena to call the game?
I mean this is the damn playoffs.
I knew something was off after watching the first game in winnipeg

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Moved to Roster Building thread.
Blame it on the jet lag.

Vasi is having a nightmare series so far.

 

[RangerBoy]

When did the Panthers become the Islanders? Any team can win if they have smart management. Florida is going back to the Cup finals. Third straight finals. The Islanders didn't lose their first trip to the finals but you know what I mean.

That have a ton of depth and no crappy players. That helps.

Timmins Stutzle, diving specialist

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Leaves PP currently 55.5% against the hapless Sens PK. And Mathews still hasn’t shown up to a game yet this series lol.

Did Boucher actually say that Hagel took that 5-minute major on purpose to get his Lightning teammates back in the vibe? wtf?
