Around The NHL Part XXVI

[Boris Zubov]

This is an unbelievable game 7.

 

[Edge]

The most vanilla hockey player in history with the crucial goal?

Edit: no.

I prefer to think of him as trinket from a trade show. It looks nice enough, and appears like it could be useful because it does a bunch of things, but then you realize it doesn't do any of them very well.

 

[haohmaru]

Vlad “the Delorean” Namestnikov best player in the league
We should bring him back

Miller, Hayes, Namestnikov, it's almost comical. A tragic comedy, actually.

He's Mario from Mariokart. 5/10 at everything.

Miller, Hayes, Namestnikov, it's almost comical. A tragic comedy, actually.

Keeping in mind two of them aren't even with the teams we traded them to because they disappointed there. And the third is giving Flyers fans the same fits he gave Rangers fans.

Oh, I know. I don't lament any of it. Just having fun.

 

[Edge]

Dallas is going to come within inches of helping the Rangers again, aren't they?

I don’t think I’d use any of those players in the same sentence as “tragic”.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Great series. Great game.

 

[NYR94]

Pavelski almost scored there wow.

 

[haohmaru]

I don’t think I’d use any of those players in the same sentence as “tragic”.

IDK, 2 goals in 30+ playoff games as a Ranger is pretty tragic. And Miller had ONE in FORTY. How do you define "tragic"?

 

[Kovalev27]

I can honestly say that the only other era in Rangers history where I can remember having this much talent in the system was around 1991/92.

I'm not even sure that fans fully realize just how high the talent level and potential is right now.

agreed and frankly I think we might have even more now than we did then. Doesn’t mean it’ll all come together but we’ve never drafted forwards like Kakko and Lafreniere. Not in my lifetime at leasT.

I mean the best guy messier got to play with was graves. Certainly not on the level of The guys mika will play off of.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Pavelski almost scored there wow.

That was a heck of a save.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This has easily been the best series in the playoffs.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Miller, Hayes, Namestnikov, it's almost comical. A tragic comedy, actually.

I wonder how many of us would trade Trouba for Hayes

 

[Kovalev27]

Well I told you Colorado would need at least 4 or 5 to win today with Hutch in la la land. Guess it will have to be 5

made a heck of a save there at the end lol

 

[gabevh3]

Pavelski almost scored there wow.

Wouldn't have counted

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

I wonder how many of us would trade Trouba for Hayes

Like 2 people

 

[Tob]

Jamie Benn almost scored 2 goals that would have sent the Stars to the WCF in two straight years.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

MacKinnon has no points yet. He’s a lock for the GWG.

 

[Tob]

Dickinson/Rantanen

 

[Kovalev27]

I gotta go Mac and Pavs

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Dallas can’t pass for shit

 

[aufheben]

Heiskanen is a puck magnet. Like it always just comes to him. Where ever he is on the ice.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Heiskanen is ridiculously good. I was thinking watching the first round he might be one of the most underrated players in the league.

I don’t think he is gonna be underrated much longer. Could see multiple Norris trophies in his future.

So thankful he didn’t go to the NJD or Flyers.
