Faceoff: Inside the NHL Premieres Oct 4th on Prime Video

Well, I also have a sneaking appreciation for Boston: you're a well run organisation and it says something that most of our players would thrive in the other's culture and systems. And at least we can say that our recent playoff series have never lacked for entertainment value...

Here here - the Florida Panthers ARE what I want the Bs to be: relentless, mean, chippy, and it comes from their best players. The Bruins won in 2011 being that team, and you've beat us at it the last few years. Look at the Bs off season and try to tell me the GM doesn't see it too haha.

The show makes it look like Panthers are Tkachuks team, Barkov barely gets mentioned.

I don't think he gets mentioned a single time lol.

I mean, it followed Tkachuk. How often were the other teams’ stars mentioned?

Barkov and Tkachuk worn off each others personalities well.

This show is actually pretty good and unfiltered. Players are cussing all the time without censorship.

The 1st episode was pretty good with Nylander and Pastrnak. I like it.

Little concerned about the Barstool input but they don't beat you over the head with it

 

[OG6ix]

I liked it. I like the less focus on Xs and Os and more personality based.

 

[Mogo]

I love how Tkachuk is in playoffs, getting ready for finals and guy is just in flip flops in the pool, ocean or arena. Like no care in the world

 

[BonMorrison]

All the episodes were great except the captains episode.

Hughes is boring as hell and they had ample opportunity to not lob soft ball questions at Trouba about his controversial hits and they totally glaze over it except for a 10 second talking head of someone else saying he has controversial hits.

in episode 1 you could see a lot of nylander's apartment and he was going to game 6 on the subway shocked nobody recognized him

If your heart didn't jerk the tiniest bit for Keith Tkachuk at the end...you are soulless.

All I kept thinking about was how incredibly fat he's become. I guess I'm worse than soulless?

For Toronto, the "four generational stars" (lol).
For Edmonton, Leon and Hyman.

But fair enough, it really was a piece that was trying to sell the NHL to new / casual fans.

I guarantee you this is how 90% of NHL captains react when their team comes out flat in big games.

The rest prob don’t sound as whiny though

He could stand to pull some landscaping duty for sure

Indeed. Really, if he had been a more stoic two-way Selke candidate like Yzerman or Barkov, the Oilers might have won the Cup. You can see the mentality, though...lose your temper, pad your starts, go out for beers. Tsk, tsk.

People do not realize the pressure when you are a win away from winning the Cup.

The Panthers players were all saying that after Game 3, it all changed. Families were flying in after Game 3. Employees of the team and the arena were on route to Edmonton as well. The severity of the next win was more pressure than what they were expecting.

Game 7, Edmonton had to feel that pressure for the first time, and you can tell by the difference in demeanor between the two teams prior to the game.

Strange how they focused on Nylander for the leafs. Even saying the pressure of winning the cup fans put on his shoulder. When papi is clearly the franchise player.

That is because Matthews has the personality of an avocado.

Yea Pauly is great lol

This thing made me like Tkachuk even more, loved him when he went to Florida cause he has that nice guy rat personality. Where he tries to get under your skin but he's really a good dude off the ice that just wants to get under peoples skin for fun, like when he was chirping Keith while BBQing. Reminds me of one of my best friends.

All in all, I enjoyed the entire thing.
