Around the NHL - (Playoffs Edition)

This Canes team is really good IMO. I wouldn’t be shocked if they won the cup

Unfortunately they will only go as far as Andersen takes them.

This might be a death blow for the Avs.

Talented but troubled player. Avs are missing too much to advance IMO. Goalie is only so-so, Landeskog, and now Nichushkin.

 

[70sSanO]

While you hate to see this happen, I would guess Winnipeg is wanted to know the timing of this.

Most of the losses weren’t close. But Nichushkin killed them. If there was an investigative lag, the Jets can’t be pleased.

Maybe, but they just have to grit their teeth and wear that silently. They can't make any public waves about a guy's addiction problem without being completely insensitive. And it won't change anything anyway.

Lol that's about as textbook as you can get for goalie interference
Toronto war room has got parlays on Boston apparently tonight

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Gotta love playoff hockey!

On ice Refs trying to counter.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

lindholm is so out of it this series. Poor penalty taking, looks completely out of his depth out there.

 

[70sSanO]

Lindholm is struggling. At times he’s having a tough time just staying on his skates.

[mightyquack]

Can't believe NHL referees are doing everything to make Flor....Boston win this series

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

These games are a lot more fun to watch when you don’t care who wins.

 

[ohcomeonref]

SWAYMAN. Oh my God.

 

[Arthuros]

And yet, Lindholm ate a 3:30 shift to finish his game.

What a nailbiter on that one though.

 

[70sSanO]

SWAYMAN. Oh my God.

With the 78th pick in the 2017 draft the Edmonton Oilers pick Stuart Skinner.

This is what I imagine the play by play guy looks like right before he says Bouchard's name:

It is very annoying

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Quinn Hughes is so good. What a player

 

[Mr Rogers]

Canucks fan love their Bure, Naslund and Sedin teams but none of them ever had this fire. I don’t think the franchise has ever iced a team that played like this.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

These games are a lot more fun to watch when you don’t care who wins.

I’m just gonna say this again.

 

[duckaroosky]

Every time I hear the Oilers play La Bamba I can feel my ancestors rolling in their grave

 

[Mr Rogers]

Bouchard is just fantastic

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Pickard really played well. Gotta figure the net is his going forward unless he gives it back to Skinner.

 

[Masch78]

Bouchard is just fantastic

Will be interesting to watch what the Oilers will do in after next season. He will get a huge raise.

While this is undoubtedly true, I would give at least one of my kidneys for a Ducks playoff game. I don't care that I'd be a nervous idiot.

Oh sure. But I can’t control that.


I do remember that once the Ducks would get eliminated I couldn’t really stomach watching the rest of the playoffs. The last few years it’s been quite enjoyable just watching a lot of the games. The intensity is awesome. You just gotta make lemonade until Verbeek stops feeding us lemons.

Sure, although Verbeek is still working through the supply that Murray left him.

I was the same way; once the Ducks were gone, I didn't care. Now I can watch whatever and usually enjoy it. I just miss that rush of excitement sitting down to watch my favorite team play playoff hockey. There's nothing quite like it.
