Around The NHL Part XXVII

[mas0764]

I don’t want the islanders winning a cup but I’m certainly fine with them losing in the conference finals so that we can get the 22nd pick.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I've never thought much of JVR. He's had a decent but underwhelming career for a 2nd overall pick.

so glad Philly didn't end up with Kane that year. They had the best odds IIRC

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That sounds exactly like AV's teams. I remember us winning a game like 6-3 against the Blues where every goal was some Harlem Globetrotter shit but when games tightened up in the playoffs we would struggle to score 2 goals.

Well like those teams, this Flyers team isn't that talented.

Congratulations Flyers fans, AV’s lost it so bad he’s already in his “I’m horrible at everything but chewing gum” phase. Enjoy this for the next few years because he’s not being fired anytime soon.

Absolutely. I wanted them to win this round to ensure the 22nd pick but I hope they get swept in the ECF. I just wish the trade we made gave us the favorable If the 1st rounders. I’m still kind of pissed that despite Carolina being in the playoffs they ended up with the 13th Pick. Although I shouldn’t complain after winning the lottery but have 1 and 13 would have been super sweet

It's not the Islanders that I'm afraid of. It's Barry Trotz.

 

[eco's bones]

Philadelphia with 9 shots on goal through 2 periods. They're rubber legged as all get out. We're going to be picking at 22.

do barzal and ada share an agent? lol

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not even watching this and it seems like the right decision, seems like another boring Isles game.

 

[FoxyClean]

Tony tampering?

 

[NYR]

SOG 19-9 through 2

Well done AV

Umm, I think you messed up posts.

30 minutes until AV yells at Brooksie and Brett what's his name

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

man crappy fight. Really was hoping Laughton would pound Pageau's ugly face in.

Thought he was replying to the Tony tampering post.

I may have missed (i.e. not been able to see) a couple in-between...

This game is over. It's on to Tampa.

It looks like Kucherov will play beginning Game 1 as he practiced today so that's a huge big deal for Tampa. So long as he plays, I feel pretty comfy that Tampa will win the series but let's not fool ourselves , this series is going minimum of 6 and more than likely 7 cause the Isles are a resilient team and are not going to be a walkover at all.

Besides that as I said previously, the hockey gods are going to absolutely want to troll us and give all of us agida and stress us out at the prospects of the Philes making it to the Cup final....lol

Now if Kucherov doesn't play for whatever the reason, all bets are off and I'd hate too have to admit but the Isles would likely win the series. Thankfully it looks like that scenario will not be in play as Kucherov is on track to play.

I think he's pretty good looking

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I think he's pretty good looking

His face enrages me.

I’m talking about Pierre as GM of the Coyotes. Hilarious on so many levels. 1)He’ll be bad at it and 2)he’d be off NBC. That’s a win-win-win if I ever saw one.

 

[Kovalev27]

11 shots in a game 7 really? Humiliating

OMG, yes.

(Except if it requires Tony tampering.)

 

[TheBloodyNine]

OMG, yes.

Imagine we lose Milbury AND Pierre? These broadcasts might be watchable!
