GDT: Around the NHL - Playoff Edition

[Honour Over Glory]

I mean you look at the teams that have bounced back.

Senators - retool with a coach that understands how to use the vets and youth.
Bluees - fired their coach and hired one that also understands the balance.
Caps - Carbery is another great example of that the last few seasons.
Habs - I shit on MSL a lot but he has done a great job this season, albeit a super weak one for a lot of the Eastern Conference, but he got there and he hasn't been blown out by the Caps yet.

The fact that even a rookie coach like MSL is better at adapting and evolving as a coach than Sullivan is hilarious. This weird high bar they have for Sullivan is just bizarre. They are prioritizing his first 2yrs as a coach and ignoring his last 8 seasons.

Like its f***ing maddening. 8 f***ing seasons of just 1 playoff series win and 3 playoff misses, which should be 4 if you count the play in series, so 4 total and 3 straight.

Dubas can go eat shit with his recent press conference, f***ing Kindergarten Juice Box Kyle, piece of shit wanker.

Look at the bright side, when Beauvillier signed with the Pens he was expecting he'd score a goal in the playoffs.

 

[canadianguy77]

Lol. Wilson isn’t going to be able to let that go without retaliating.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Logan Thompson, everyone

 

[canadianguy77]

What a beautiful thing to see the habs tie it up late in the third. Gutless play by 74 too looking away from the puck lol.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It would be hilarious if Montreal were to upset the Caps after everybody cranking off about Ovechkin and the Caps quick retool all season.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Go Jets go!

 

[sovietsanta87]

Ah well.

 

[canadianguy77]

shit ending for the habs but this Kings/Oilers series is the series to watch in the west if you’re a hockey fan. It’s gonna be nasty.

 

[sovietsanta87]

Bold strategy to let Ovechkin stand in front of the net by himself

 

[Coffee]

Ah well.

You still hate them?

 

[Guins71]

Crosby going to go postal if the pens do not make it next year

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Only took Ovechkin 20 years to score his first playoff OT goal.

 

[Turin]

Come oooon Habs

 

[canadianguy77]

Only took Ovechkin 20 years to score his first playoff OT goal.

There were years when he couldn’t be trusted enough from his coaches to even put him out there if they weren’t on a power play. Surprised he was out there tonight tbh.

I will always hate them

He's magically become a better, more productive player at 39 years old.

f*** the Craps

 

[Gurglesons]

Where the Penguins fans pretending Ovechkin sucks and the team is dedicated to him scoring?

Wheaties or…something

 

[sovietsanta87]

Are we serious with this anthem in LA?

In your head with all the other strawmen

I saw him lose a puck battle in the corner when he was a ful 6-7 feet in front of his man. He can barely move. But if you give him the puck with space, he still has a wicked shot.

Just won a playoff game. Something we will never see Sid do again most likely with Dubas at the helm.

But, we will look really good on random blog ratings about prospects.

O….Ok. Doesn’t change what I said about Ovechkin being slow. He had a great game but I just wonder how he’ll play against a team that

1) is good
2) has playoff experience
3) can push teams on their heels with speed

 

[canadianguy77]

Byfields game is like watching young Geno again.
