Around the NHL: Part XXIII

[RangerLifer]

Oh, good clear, Capitals. /sarcasm off.

 

[NYRKING30]

Omg This game is brutal. Holtby should be crucified.

 

[BklynTerp]

God I hate the Caps

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Holtby is suck

 

[RangerLifer]

Holtby is suck

He is BRUTAL!

Even when we won the lottery they had to make a comment. I guess they need to do things like that to stay relevant, it's embarassing. Like a bunch of teenagers

It’s typical for Raleigh.

One of the reasons I hated living there. Everything was so juvenile and plastic.

 

[Kane One]

I don't like the Canes at all. The twitter stuff alone is enough for me to hate them. Then getting swept by them? Screw them sideways

I’m the exact opposite. I love their twitter and they probably have the most likable group of fans on HF.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The Caps are playoff failures without Trotz. Terrible move getting rid of him.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Bruh.

Theyre still playoff failures, they just got lucky one year

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Isles don't create a lot of offense but it seems like they score on one out of every 2 every half decent chances they get. Very annoying. Washington is playing like trash though, only scored 2 greasy ones on the PP.

Many of their fans on HF are great!

I’ve been working, eating, and multi-tasking through much of this game. That said, when I’ve paid attention, I have not noticed Ovechkin at all.

 

[Kords]

It's gonna suck when the Caps scoop up Gallant.

 

[Synergy27]

Am I the only one that would be fine with the Isles beating the Caps? As long as they lose next round.

 

[bl02]

Caps are the worst of the top 4. I’m happy tho the bruins are playing the canes. The canes would have easily passed by the caps of this year. Holtby is shaky at best and they have no other option.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

MacKinnon plays the game like hes chasing after someone who just stole his wallet.

Gallant is a terrific coach but the caps will be on a serious decline

Timeline wise, if Gorton and JD were to make a decision on firing Quinn in favor of Gallant, it'd be before the QF are over.

They aren't going to. All the hockey men around the league are under the impression he's a good coach for this group. If it were up to me he'd be out today though, I don't trust him to develop our young stud prospects, at all.

I don't disagree, it won't suck because he will make them better. I just don't want anyone else to have him until we figure out what we have in DQ.

I think some people are living in an alternate universe. This team is not moving on from Quinn. They just aren't.

 

[NYR94]

Yotes outshot 29-7 through 2 periods and the score is 0-0. What even is playoff hockey

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I just heard the dumbest question ever (not just in sports) in the Islanders post-game. A reporter asked Trotz "you say you want to be disciplined and not take penalties, how do you convince your team to do that when the winning goal came shorthanded?"

This was an actual question an adult person asked Trotz.

 

[nyr2k2]

This is my first year watching the playoffs without my old man who was a die-hard Islanders fan. I'm riding the Islanders bandwagon. Crucify me.

Also, f*** Washington.
