Around the NHL - Part XXXVIII

[Machinehead]

Jarvis is playing with Aho and Svechnikov and getting PP1 time.

When we let Lafreniere do that, he's a PPG player.

I’m at Devils v Wings. 2 abysmal teams.

Yeah got comp tixs. Fell asleep after 10 minutes. Snooze fest. Devils suck.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The what a shame is a dig at their fanbase and social media persona. That's why I said "panic for the caniacs -> what a shame"
Not digging on Raanta getting hurt. I don't shit on guys getting hurt, but nice try.

What try? You say what a shame and I'm supposed to crack some code that you invented. If you don't want people to interpret your posts as taking a dig at Raanta's injury make it more clear instead of giving me sass and insinuating that I'm trying to get you in some way.

I didn't create the code. "Caniacs" is how they refer to their fair-weather fanbase. Everything from their social media to the "storm surge" "Go back to bashing goalies" would be giving you sass

if PIT can come back to win against PHI then the 1st round match up is pretty set.

They aren't going to, and that gives WSH 2 games in hand and only down by a point...and they are playing the Isles back to back. A loss for Pit today is pretty much a lock for Rangers vs Caps because Pit will probably get stomped vs the Oilers on Tuesday for another loss.

PIT is up by 2 points with the tie breaker.

PIT is up by 2 points with the tie breaker.

Ah my mistake, I must have looked at the wrong number. I still think we end up with Caps though. Pit is f***ing brutal and can't do anything right.

PIT is up by 2 points with the tie breaker.

4 games left for the Caps, only two left for PIT after today, if they lose to Philly it’s probably going to be the Caps, they will probably go 4-0 this week.

 

[Rongomania]

By 'Kreider' them do you mean accidentally bump into one of them 10 years ago one time? I'm lost here ...

There isn't a team we play who doesn't have fans in their thread asking their team to "Kreider Igor/Georgie"

we'll see. they're playing the leafs tonight. If they lose this one, they will have to win the next one, their game in hand on PIT, just to tie PIT in points but still behind by tie breaker.

You could be right they could go 4-0 but believe it or not Toronto does have something to play for tonight The last thing they want to do is keep losing and go into playoffs on a bit of a downturn and possibly losing home ice to TB. That would be pretty bad for them IMO. Also if GG plays a full lineup at home vs the Caps the final game of the season that won't be an easy game for them as well.

Yea, Leafs could win tonight, but quick turnaround from playing a tough one last night in Florida, no Muzzin, Bunting or Tavares, and they are starting Kallgren in net.

Yikes, yikes, yikes and Yikes.

 

[Leonardo87]

Yeah it's like 99% going to be NYR vs PIT

DeSmith is more frightening than Jarry, tbh

Washington is only 2 points behind Pittsburgh with 2 games in hand, could be them also.

 

[Crease]

Barry Melrose does not look well.

Yeah I totally blanked and then looked it up and was "oh really now?"

 

[NYR94]

Nick Paul just scored a sick between-the-legs short handed goal against Florida.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This Lightning team is heating up at the right time. The East should be very afraid.

 

[bl02]

Interesting hand pass review in the leafs-caps game.
Don't see many of those.

Toronto should be very afraid. Especially if they can't get home ice in first round.

I don't think home ice will matter. I'll be very surprised if the Leafs beat Tampa.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

If that last game against the Caps can make sure we play Pitt, we need to win that game.

 

[JimmyG89]

Barry Melrose does not look well.

He did a game recently with Levy to throw it back to late 00s ESPN. He was not good and I too think he's unfortunately in bad shape. Seeing the studio work now, he seems to have a script in his head and doesn't deviate from, regardless of the question.

ESPN also has to see it. Wonder if he's going be ushered out this year. I also think Kevin Weekes will be at the forefront of their coverage as soon as next year. He's on a meteoric rise. He breaks deals. His contact list must have gotten a huge bump once ESPN signed him.

Ovie to the locker room after crashing into the boards, shoulder first.
