Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[NYSPORTS]

I wonder which line Howden and Hajek would contribute on had that trade not happened.

Mon clearly trying to hurt Kucherov, albeit legally.

Did you see that slash during the PP?

 

[Machinehead]

I’d let Larry know about the height difference.

He might be even more upset

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

On the plus side for MTL they didn’t allow a goal to Point! (only 3 assists)

 

[Tob]

Did you see that slash during the PP?

Canada's dirtiest team.

 

[NYRKING30]

Will Montreal riot?

Next Monday, book it.

Actual Kotkaniemi look alike:

I wonder which line Howden and Hajek would contribute on had that trade not happened.

Howden would be PPG on a line with Kuch and Hajek would be a shutdown D next to Cernak, forming the Czechoslovakian Connection.

Mcdonagh is outplaying Hedman IMO

Kotkaniemi during intermissions:

Series are defined by game 2s. How Montreal will respond will be fun to watch. Tampa hasn't been nearly as good as last year in their execution. Long series to go.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Nice game. 3 more of these and we can get the offseason off and running by next week.

 

[SRHRangers]

Mcdonagh is outplaying Hedman IMO

I think that is actually fact. Not opinion.

McD playing like a man possessed this postseason.

 

[JohnC]

Islanders fans must feel how we felt after we lost G7 to Tampa

We had Chicago waiting for us in a series we were all confident we would win.

It's actually much worse for them though lol

No shot we beat Chicago without Zucc and with the corpse of Dan Boyle being our only healthy dman IMO.

We win the Cup in 2014 if Chicago makes it past LA if you ask me, though.

 

[Crease]

Kucherov winning the Conn Smythe would be the ultimate troll job.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Will Montreal riot?

Is water wet?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Hope Fox wins Norris Tomorrow.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Mcdonagh is outplaying Hedman IMO

Agreed

 

[mas0764]

Hope Fox wins Norris Tomorrow.

Not me.

Want him to win it like 6 straight times after we lock him up long term though.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Not me.

Want him to win it like 6 straight times after we lock him up long term though.

I hear ya. I'm wondering how much more he would be paid if he won it versus just a finalist.

 

[NYR94]

Impressive for a player many think still isn't 100% healthy.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Impressive for a player many think still isn't 100% healthy.

Does that include round robin last year? Because that diminishes it a bit.

 

[Boris Zubov]

This will end up being one of the worst remembered playoffs ever.

Fixed it.

Dead puck 2.0 is upon us.

 

[mike14]

If you take out the round robin he scored 32 points last playoffs, plus 2 more in his 3 round-robin games

 

[Rongomania]

Mcdonagh is outplaying Hedman IMO

And he outplayed him in the game 7 against the Isles.

Also, McD has Montreal's number in the PO's. 'Member when he had that monster series against them with us? One of the best series performances I've ever seen from one of our guys. Happy for McD. Well deserved.
