Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[will1066]

Mike's crazy afternoon idea is that there should be no 'period' breaks in OT. A hockey game is 3xperiods+OT, not +multiple OTs.
A single OT just goes until someone scores or everyone is dead from exhaustion...

How are they even going this fast with almost 4 full periods of play?

This is incredible. Best hockey in a long time

Oilers are playing amazing they deserve this shit

Oilers are playing amazing they deserve this shit

They've dominated OT but LA has had some great counters

 

[17futurecap]

Oh baby!

 

[mike14]

so when does LA fire the idiot who recommended the coaches challenge?

 

[will1066]

Lethal

 

[bl02]

what an overtime in Edmonton.

 

[will1066]

No one stops that McD deflection grenade designed to maim PK boxes

 

[Beliveau]

what an overtime in Edmonton.

That game was fixed. If I come up behind you and trip over your leg, that's my bad, not a penalty on you.

 

[17futurecap]

The Oil had a 6.51 xGF all situations, would be furious if I were Kuemper.

 

[mrmovies779]

Oilers are the Kings Boogeyman

Yeah that was a weak ass call but LA lost the game with their stupid third period turtling.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

that was the best hockey I’ve ever seen from a team in a playoff OT. Came out and dominated for 10 min and forced the refs to call one

 

[RangerBoy]

LA gets these leads and then they sit back.

 

[wolfgaze]

I wish the Rangers re-signed Mikkola

 

[will1066]

LA gets these leads and then they sit back.

They didn't sit back to me. They looked overwhelmed.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I fell asleep when the score was 3-1. I figured I'd just rest my eyes during the 2nd intermission. Next thing I know, the clock said 1:00 am. Ugh.

Two-time Cup winner Sullivan out as Pens coach

Mike Sullivan, who led the Pittsburgh Penguins to back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, is out as the team's head coach, it was announced Monday.

www.espn.com

I know some people don't like Sullivan. My understanding is that Drury loves him so feels like he's already the Ranger's next coach.

 

[leetch99]

Sully and Crosby incoming ......Mika likely out .

Sully and Crosby incoming ......Mika likely out .

If Sullivan comes with Crosby, that's not bad at all. Crosby-McDavid in 2026-2027

If "Brett Howden, Stanley Cup champion" didn't already sound strange on the ears, if the Caps win this year, we'll have to hear "Dylan McIlrath, Stanley Cup champion"
He's been on the ice for warmups. If he manages to actually suit up, he'll even get his name etched on the cup.

Is this sarcasm or that sweet PEI intel?

Mods. Thanks.

 

[CasusBelli]

That takes and gives Playoffs commercial is really lame. I get that they’re trying to communicate intensity and leaving it all on the ice, but it just feels forced / generated by GPT.

I don’t think anything will surpass “there are no words.” Frankly, I’d be ok with them airing that every year.

The Caps are going to get pummeled by Carolina. They are smoke and mirrors.
