Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[Boris Zubov]

That chic looked as enthused as a girl on a first date with me

She was basically whispering, "dallas stars"

 

[Boris Zubov]

Giant rack alert in the front row!

 

[CasusBelli]

Kane pulls his face. Stops to look around to see if anyone saw it. No one does. Puts hand to face again.

ZERO CONTACT!!!

 

[Captain Lindy]

Giant rack alert in the front row!

Behave, boys!

Why was Sam Steel a first round pick? He was highly regarded at the draft by the Ducks but he just ended up being a 4th line replaceable center. Awful scouting

Evander Kane, known thespian

 

[Boris Zubov]

Behave, boys!

I'm only reporting what's in front of me.

 

[Boris Zubov]

It just hit me that the Oilers have two Skinners on the roster.

 

[Captain Lindy]

One hell of a save by Skinner.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Nice hit!

 

[mike14]

For all their skill, the Oilers make a fair few defensive mistakes, which is why I think they'll struggle to get past Florida again. the Cats will cause even more errors, and they'll capitalize on them too

Granlund doing his best Adam Fox impression.

 

[CasusBelli]

And the trip?

Please check that these refs aren’t using rat holes to bet on this.

No relation, Joe!

 

[savebyrichter94]

Nice math by The Count

 

[Boris Zubov]

Two for Kramden!

What is the rule there? Nurse (i think it was) lost his edge and was sliding along the ice, and kept sliding into the Stars player. Is that normally called and meant to be called? Or is it deemed 'accidental'

I can't even spell McGullicuddy!

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I don't really know where the Stars go from here. They already made a huge move with Rantanen. Perhaps move on from Benn and Seguin. Should be interesting.

Benn will be a UFA I’d let him walk if I was Dallas. Old and slow, I know he’s the captain but they gotta move on from him. Seguin is old and slow too but still has 2 years left.

It’s a tradition at this point

Is that what it was? I thought I saw a stick get caught between the legs, causing the Stars player to fall, but I could be wrong. In any event, if I’m not mistaken, if you go down to block a shot and your opponent trips over you, it’s a penalty — once upon a time I think the rule was that there’s no penalty if contact is made with the puck first. Maybe we can draw from that? Not sure.

It's a landslide!

Which is why I feel obligated to keep my fellow posters in the loop.

Rangers would have made a better showing than this!

In the West or in the East?

It's Dallas Fort Worth. All women there seem to be plastic. Loki, you've touched them all, tell us more.
