Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[GoAwayPanarin]

Florida is that team, and there's always one in the league, that wins because they've perfected doing WWE on ice and never getting called for it.

I hate watching those teams and I would argue they might be the worst iteration of it yet.

I don't think they're that bad. Bennett obviously has done some really dirty shit but the rest of the team is no dirtier than the average dirty team.

The Trotz Isles were much worse.

This year's wrinkle on an already deep Florida team is they're even deeper with 14 different players scoring if I heard correctly?

Worse in terms of committing a penalty every 0.4 seconds? I would say no.

Worse in terms of being boring and pissing on hockey's grave? I would agree with that.

 

[Machinehead]

Funny thing is, those old Red Wings teams that had some of the most skill ever assembled kind of invented Rugbypuck.

 

[Bob Richards]

Assuming he doesn't score tonight, it's 3 goals in his last 21 playoff games for Matthews...

I don’t think he’s ever scored a playoff goal in the 2nd round.

Amazing really.

NJD with Stevens and Philly with Lindros. Identity amirite?

It's the NHL.

You would think one of his passes just triple-deflects in at one point.

Listen, if I have to pick one of Pronger or McDonough talk into my ear for more than 30 minutes straight, I choose the Matrix.

Philly was annoying because they were just a bunch of f***ing scumbags, but I didn't hate watching them.

The Devils, holy shit, yes!!

Shots would be 13-8 in the third period.

 

[will1066]

I want Matthews to just break his mold and declare a Game 6 victory.

We Will Win Tonight

That Paul Kariya hit is still painful to watch.

They were absolute THUGS!

 

[CasusBelli]

Stepped away for a period only to see this go from 1-0 to 4-0. Unbelievable. These guys really just don’t care. Just cheering for the West at this point. Didn’t like anyone from our conference to begin with.

Holy hell what is this garbage “PP”?

Those old Devil teams turned hockey into baseball.

 

[McRanger92]

he should go to Seattle

Hurricane

He would do this and somehow go -5 in a 4-3 loss

 

[Machinehead]

Hurricane

Actually, that's not a bad idea.

If anybody kind of has their shit together system-wise and could just use some stupid skill, it's Carolina.

 

[CasusBelli]

Other than a hook or slash on a SH breakaway against, there is never a good reason to take a penalty on the PP. good grief.

 

[bleedblue94]

Marner is so done in toronto

 

[Cmox]

I don’t think he’s ever scored a playoff goal in the 2nd round.

Amazing really.

FWIW, he is on Toronto, haha

 

[Machinehead]

Yee yee ass playoffs.

Maybe Edmonton will win at least.

 

[Cmox]

haha this is hilarious

 

[McRanger92]

Is Matthews playing?

 

[CasusBelli]

I really don’t know what to do if I’m the leafs at this point. Have tried so many cores. So many coaches and styles. What do you do?

And now it’s 5.

Looking at a Threepeat at this rate.
