Around the NHL - (Playoffs Edition)

[Mr Rogers]

Kane and Doughty are made for each other

 

[duckaroosky]

Doughty going after Kane and then pisses his pants when Kane starts to go back at him

 

[190Octane]

Refs killing all the fun in this one.

Doughty is such a bitch made candy ass.

 

[Sean Garrity]

Should’ve done an ex Duck PP with Rico-Carrick-Perry.

Haha as I type Perry has a goal disallowed for Foegle pulling a Perry.

 

[ScarTroy]

Watching Rob Blake turn the Kings into basically the Wild makes me really not want Getz to ever try his hand at GM, at least with us. I don’t want to go sour on Getz.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Super rough night for Fiala.

 

[duckaroosky]

Kings are losers

Enjoyed watching their little tantrums while they got beat.

 

[Kalv]

Fiala just totally MIA. A guy they are relying on as an offense-driver (Although I believe he’s a complimentary guy) and just isn’t doing anything. Always has been generally quieter in the playoffs.

And they gave up Faber and pick that was used for Ohgren. Both of them look fantastic.
Pick could had also used for Snuggerud or Kulich for example. Both went less than 10 picks after

Kings are an example of why you don’t rush a rebuild.

They still need to trade for Gibson

 

[AngelDuck]

The kings have zero point per game players this season. You will never win a playoff round when that’s the case. Not in todays NHL

They make us feel better about ourselves. How cute

 

[AngelDuck]

McDavid has 62 points in his last 31 playoff games

Dominant

McDavid has 62 points in his last 31 playoff games

and yet he still has 0 Stanley Cup final appearances.

and yet he still has 0 Stanley Cup final appearances.

So?

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

All that drama surrounding the 6 teams for the final 2 playoff spots in the East and the ones that got in are on the verge of being swept in relatively convincing fashion (though I think Detroit would have given the Rangers a much better series than Washington)

 

[dracom]

So?

i just think its hilarious that he and the oilers still havent made it that far. doesnt matter how many points you put up if you dont win.

Vegas did it last year!

 

[Terry Yake]

Still not past the fact that this is the same Cam Talbot who somehow took us to 7 games in 2017. Man is a sieve

2017 was seven years ago. i feel old

 

[Mr Rogers]

Vegas did it last year!

Eichel essential was, 1 point off. They are a far deeper team up front and their guys do more in the playoffs. No Fialas.

 

[AngelDuck]

he’s only 27 and they have a great shot to get there this year. Don’t get me wrong, they’ve been incompetent for sure, but there’s a lot of opportunity left for him to win. Lebron and Jordan didn’t win their 1st ring until they were about his age IIRC.

Regardless, my post was about McDavids dominance. And he IS dominating like no one has since Gretzky. It’s impressive

Vegas did it last year!

Didn’t know that. But I think the point somewhat still stands. They had Eichel and Stone who had both been PpG+ players in the not so distant past

Meh he can only do so much...


Also hell ya! GO ISLANDERS!.... do the reverse sweep

Fiala was PPG+ last year, hell kempe was 2 points off this year.

Kings issue is they dont really have a legit goalie.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

The big gun has finally shown up for them Isle boys to keep them around for one day more.

Barzal is a bit of an enigma to me, in that everyone thought that he would flourish once he got away from Trotz and just... hasn't, yet he still leaves me thinking he has room for more, despite the fact that he's 27 and this is essentially his absolute peak. Still a very good hockey player though, just hasn't broken through to the upper-echelon of forwards like many expected.

If kempe and Fiala are your best forwards you might have trouble beating the elitist of teams who do have 1 or more guys significantly better than that. I’d say it’s as big of an issue as the goalies

Yeah B’s!
