Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[Anthony5967]

Guys, the TB game thread is where it’s at tonight. Let’s support em.

 

[Hitch16]

Is Kucherov playing?

On ice for warmups as well as Cernak

f*** yeah.

 

[haveandare]

Ugh makes me slightly nauseous to be pulling for TB but here we are I guess. Isles are hungrier and Barzal is the most effective player on either team right now imo. This can go either way.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Please God make the Isles lose tonight. Amen

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Remember that game in 2011 or 2012 when Tampa needed to win for us to make the playoffs?

I’m getting similar positive vibes tonight.

No. It goes one way. All objectivity gets dropped for this one.

gonna be checking updates while on the run just like game 6. hopefully it doesn't end like that. McDonagh series winning goal or I delete my account.

Sadly, as the Fishsticks engage in their pregame skate, before a potential trip to the Stanley Cup Finals; Chris Kreider sits forlornly at his piano playing a Bach Sonata in D Major.

Minor. The saddest of all keys.

And Panarin has just adopted a family of meerkats and is building a wooden playhouse for them

Ruuta got torched.

Even great teams seem to have a weakest link on defense

 

[JohnC]

Savard’s been pretty useless for Tampa

 

[Machinehead]

Say what you will about the Islanders, these have mostly been good.

I wanted to eat chalk watching the other series.

 

[DudMan28]

Rutta has gotten caught flat footed twice already

 

[Leetch94]

The piles system is something to watch.
God I hate them.

I honestly think we have a window is the next few years. With players like Schneider, Lundkvist, Robertson etc performing on ELCs we could have a stacked 6.

My dream world is to continue to keep all of our picks and utilize our deep pockets for drafting. Keep the cycle going. Have some good-great prospects/ELC's ready to step-in in 3-5 years.

Ive got your stacked 6 right here

 

[SnowblindNYR]

As long as it’s not the Isles, I’m fine. Hardworking hockey. Reminds me a bit of the 2012 Rangers. Some depth, no real stars, and stellar goaltending.

Just seeing those public celebrations freaks me out. The soccer celebrations in the UK made their COVID counts skyrocket.

If it's outside it'll probably not be that bad.

 

[Kords]

All TB here, so naturally the Isles are due for a lucky bounce any minute

 

[Fitzy]

Damn the isles are slowing the game down

 

[Hire Sather]

The cap crunch comes quick. Need progress in the standings next season

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Story of the series, dominate and it's 0-0.

 

[Machinehead]

Story of the sport.
