Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[bl02]

For sure. Another f**k-up on my bracket.

(added to Kings and Lightning)

Everyone loved the Kings and Lightning. Not surprised the Panthers ran right over them tho

Havent seen Drury and Lindgren team up to end a teams season since..

 

[McRanger92]

A buddy of mine & I have been texting about how little talent we have compared to just about every team in the playoffs. It's pretty obvious once you watch the rest of the league playing for keeps.

It’s the drive more than talent. The talent disparity is really among our top players. Overpaid soft bums.

 

[bl02]

Lindgren got walked like a dog! Only terrible goal out of the 3 by a complete garbage player! Thank god we got rid of him. We should see a Lindgren put for the upcoming season just by not having him on our opening night roster

that's ok we got Soucy to carry on his stink

 

[Boris Zubov]

He will be our 3C in October

That would be horrible. Just another bottom 6 talent added to a roster overflowing with bottom 6 guys.

Somewhere along the way, they forgot about the rebuild!

Watching this series just made me hate our top players so much more, and I already hated them a lot

Except Fox! He was a bit vindicated by Makar pulling his pants down and taking a shit at center ice.

Also Kreider literally did what Rantanen did but with all three against a goalie. That's worth mentioning. Kreider being a de facto "top player" at all is the problem in that case.

I'm tired of Zibanejad and Panairn.

Get Marty Nachos if we’re going to pick at the Avs corpse

Just in time for cinco de mayo!

With Kreider it’s just time to go. 13 years, all good things must come to an end. You’re right that he was miscast as a go to guy.

That's right. Like Gallant said right before he got fired...all the talent in the world doesn't matter without the work ethic and HEART.

Zibanejad at least put up a bunch of points in the 2022 playoffs.

Rantanen bascially matched Panarin’s best single playoff output in this series alone.

None of those guys strike me as rink rats. Not one of them. Impossible to win without that drive.

 

[gabevh3]

Only coach 9-0 in game 7 wow

His fault for scratching Vesey the whole damn series !!!!!!!

Not funny tho ..Vesey elevates play in playoffs. Should've gotten a chance.

Lafreniere played Fortnite and ordered Uber eats tonight. He’ll find out who won game 7 tomorrow morning

 

[n8]

Hat trick, 4 point game for Raantanen Go Stars. Suck it Lindgren (JK)

 

[Dfence033]

As a Rangers fan living in Dallas - can we PLEASE now stop hearing about how Makar is Bobby Orr reincarnated? “Greatest defenseman in a generation” don’t shit themselves against half a playoff team. (Yes I know the Stars have a few good players, but no Robertson or Miro and Makar played worse than my D-League team on defense the last few games).

Does Uber deliver Big League Chew?

idk but they definitely deliver Chopt

 

[NYR94]

Low key the Avs have kind of stunk since winning the cup.

They havent been much of a Cup threat in the cap era. Minus the Cup win in 2022, the last time they made it out of the 2nd round was 2002.

Stay away from that rum cake!

 

[Machinehead]

I mean when you really look at it...eh?

The top talent is there, especially that big one in the middle, but they have a few holes.

They have no real bad players here, which you know I like, so they could win, it's in the realm of possibility, but they're not unbeatable.

They lost a tough series in 7 to a good team. Every playoff series hinges on a few bad plays, bad calls, or unlucky breaks. It's hard to crap on any team that lost in the first round to a team they legitimately should've been playing in the conference finals.
