Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[LeetchisGod]

Senators are a very stupid franchise to lose to a team that almost NEVER wins in the playoffs.

The Leafs historically own the Sens.

 

[Machinehead]

The Leafs historically own the Sens.

They really only have an observable pattern with Boston.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Being a Minnesota sports fan is not fun.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Ugh Leafs didn’t blow it. Whack

 

[NYR94]

sticks flying like crazy

 

[Row I Goon]

Kings gonna lose

 

[mike14]

Kings/Oil is just stupid

 

[Row I Goon]

Kings/Oil is just stupid

I want Kings to proceed

But they won’t

 

[McRanger92]

Why is Biz dressed like the guy from the Limu Emu commercials?

 

[I Eat Crow]

God, Edmonton has to be desperate for a goalie after this year.

 

[LokiDog]

Back in their early primes, before either had their first Cup, people often talked about how one player couldn’t win a Cup with reference to Sid and Ovie. I have never, in my life, in any sport, seen as much of a 2 man show as McDrai. The Oilers are actual, legitimate ass aside from the #1 and 2/4 player in the world. We can argue McD and Makar may be a better combo, or whatever, but realistically… Edmonton is actually f***ing is atrocious outside of 2 of the top 4/5 talents in the world.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm gunna start watching these games on mute if ESPN is going to keep playing that God awful Tommy Trumpet techno remix at each commercial break.

 

[LokiDog]

So, Zach Hyman is Edmonton’s actual captain?

 

[LokiDog]

Dear god Skinner is shaky.

Edit: Pickard. I’m watching on mute. Resting your playoff hopes on Pickard… while we pay Igor 11.5M. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Hyman breaks through

McDavid never impressed me to be the "rah rah" type of person.

 

[LokiDog]

Hyman breaks through

LA now scrambling to stop the hitherto unknown bleeding.

Must be nice to get elite talent with top three picks at least. We don't win and we don't even get that much.

Creamy, dreamy Fage… as delicious as it sounds.

(I really hope we’re all seeing the same commercials).

 

[LokiDog]

If I were Connor McDavid, every time ANY opponent had the puck across my blueline, my b-hole would be clenched so hard. Holy horrible goalies.

Is it me or does the poor kid Bichsel get hurt a lot?

 

[LokiDog]

Is it me or does the poor kid Bichsel get hurt a lot?

Well, hurt or injured? He definitely seems a magnet for getting hurt, like a 6’7 Lindgren. He doesn’t ever seem to be actually injured. Just takes a beating.

Injured. Just crashed into boards could barely stand up even while being helped off ice.
Multiple concussions this season.

 

[LokiDog]

Dallas and the Finnish connection.

Granlund, Hintz, Rantanen on the last goal. Lindell, Heiskanen. In recent years Kiviranta and Haakanpa. Back in the day Lehtinen and Lehkonen. Weird thing, Dallas and Finns.

In a year he won’t have to worry because Igor will be his goalie.
