Around The NHL Part XXIX

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Point is such a spectacular player. He's what people think Barzal is.

They really don’t play very similarly at all. Point has a very north-south, direct mentality. He attacks the net and scores goals. Barzal is probably the most East- West player in the league. A pure playmaking center , it’s like the dude is allergic to shooting.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kucherov also has like 33 points

Yeah but only like 6 goals

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Yeah but only like 6 goals

I mean, the real reason Point would win over the other two is that he's Canadian and the other two aren't

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

That blue line step-up is reminiscent of college McDonagh.

Really, his play all playoffs has been similar. Keeping nearly all of his focus on defense.

Doesnt Point have somethig like the most 5v5 points in a single postseason?

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Doesnt Point have somethig like the most 5v5 points in a single postseason?

I think he's like 10 points off from Gretzky's record in that regard, but he's pretty high up there, like 2-4 range

Hedman has been a monster...I'd have him as the conn smythe

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Dallas looks gassed and they had the extra rest.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Dallas looks gassed and they had the rest.

This is 3 games in 4 nights. They're totally gassed.

 

[Fitzy]

Gonna be a tight call between point and Kutcherov for conn smyth if this holds

I think Hedman wins it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

This has been a really boring game tbh

“One goal by Dallas cuts the lead in half “. Thanks Doc,I never knew 1 is half of 2.

 

[Crease]

This has been a really boring game tbh

Dallas has gotten nothing going all night. Hoping they can at least make it interesting this period.

 

[NYRKING30]

Point for Conn Smythe.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Will this cup have an asterisk next to it? The playoffs were outstanding.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This is a game where both teams just want to go home

 

[Thirty One]

Will this cup have an asterisk next to it?

No, only if the Islanders won it.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This is a game where both teams just want to go home

Both teams are exhausted. 3 in 4 and 6 in 10 will do that I guess.

 

[Maximus]

I have not a doubt in my mind had the Islanders have beaten the Bolts, it would be the Isles up 3-2 in the series and less than 8 minutes away from winning their 1st Cup in 35 years while we in here would be cursing out loud as no way in hell this Stars team would have beaten the Islanders.

Instead the hockey gods threw us all a bone and we've been able to watch a stress free Stanley Cup final. TY TY TY oh hockey gods as you've been good to us lately allowing us to win draft lottery's the past few years and not allowing our hated enemy to win a Cup...cheers!

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Yeahhhhh

let’s skip to the end please.

this kinda sucks

 

[PuckLuck3043]

No, only if the Islanders won it.

My worst nightmare and I hope I never see it again.

 

[NYRKING30]

This is like the hardest hockey game to ever watch. Whistles every 15 seconds.

 

[LokiDog]

One of the most horrifically boring cup clinching games I have ever watched. Dallas looks like they’ve been moping since the 10 minute mark.

Really just hope the last 5 minutes are exciting. Really disappointing finale. Hedman deserves the MVP more than either forward.
