GDT: Around the NHL - Playoff Edition

[ThosePuckingPenguins]

Oilers are the Pens from 2010-2015. When they’re on, holy shit. When they’re off, hooooooly shit.

Lotta similarities. McDavid and Sid. Draisaitl and Geno. Bouchard and Letang. Skinner and MAF.

Just hoping it's the 2010-15 era Pens and not the 2009 or 2016 or 2017 Pens.

 

[Turin]

Dang that’s a rough PK showing for Edmonton

 

[Gurglesons]

MIkael Granlund continues to deliver.

Guess good coaches can play players in the right spot...

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Lirl….

Eat shit Oilers

Glad I was wrong about Oilers sweeping Dallas. If their offense was not gonna show like Vegas it would have been a short series.

He should sign with NYR.

 

[Rakell67]

Mitch Marner to Long Island. E4

Could see Tavares going back.

It feels weird to be all aboard the Stars' bandwagon cuz growing up I f***ing hated the Stars in the late 90s, early 00s.

Same
Boring ass Hitchcock hockey plus stealing the franchise from Minnesota had them as hockey team non grata

9% PK?
Woof

Not sure there's ever been a Cup winner with such atrocious special teams play.

Sounds like they need a PK specialist. 1st for Acciari?

 

[Icarium]

The real mystery is how the f*** the OIlers had otherworldly PK last year. Maybe Cody Ceci is actually the best penalty killer in the league.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Yeah it's weird, they got a meh roster but they click and look amazing as a team and look unstoppable.

The ‘16 Pens roster outside of the 4 stars is hilariously meh for how insanely good we were

Well Matt Murray was a star unto himself during that run. Dude was locked in and I thought we had our next franchise 'tender.

Yeah.

Murray is a prime example as to why you don't commit to goaltenders any more than you commit to coaches.

There are rare exceptions of course. But they prove the rule and all that.

Well, we also had great coaching and the team clicked. Cullen was pretty good bottom 6er though. We also were built on speed for the most part.

Agree with both of you. But I think if you look at the skaters and name value/statistical output… pretty wild that team was such a powerhouse

They lost McLeod and Foegele too

 

[Pancakes]

Canada lost to Denmark lol. Feel bad for Sid but also lol

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Crosby with the lone assist on the lone Canada goal I think.

Yes he setup Sanheim with a really nice pass for a goal

 

[Turin]

Sid is definitely going into next season pissed off for those who wanna tank. At least that puts to bed the idea that Mac and Sid would be unstoppable together lol.

Pretty shitty send off for Fleury

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Lmao, Shanabanned.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

They lost two games that I thought they'd steam roll, lol.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I think if you're JR/Allvin, you're likely throwing yourself in the mix for Marner, a player that is a very good playmaker that could make that soft headed wanker EP40 produce and take a lot of pressure off of him.

They'd probably be wise to let Boeser walk and try to keep Suter if they can but not really if it's between Boeser and Suter, I'd drop Suter. But they should definitely be in the mix for Marner to play alongside Pettersson. Hoglander would probably be gone in the summer via trade as well.
