Post-Game Talk: Hurricane VII

[The Crypto Guy]

Next round schedule is out, Starts Wed like we knew, games are every other day, except game 7, there would be a 2 day break after game 6.

Also game 3 is at 3PM, everything else is 8PM.

I actually thought Panarin had a good game tonight. He looked much more like himself. It would be perfect timing if he started to heat up right about now.

Honestly, I didn't want to post anything negative, but I thought he was dogshit yet again. He wasn't skating at all on either end & all he was doing in his own zone were those drive-by, ole' stick checks. He had zero impact nor did he create any scoring chances I can recall.

He did cut down on his cross ice passes to the other team, so I guess that's progress.

Did we ever get another view on that Strome miss ? Did he whiff or what

Dude I’m still wondering about that miss, I thought it was going to go in for sure. ESPN did such a bad job with that, their production needs work.

I'm dying to see that again....this board was on the verge of melting down when he scored on that 2 on 1 to erase that bad memory.

@Hunter Gathers I remember what we fought about!

It was Emerson Etem

Nah man, the guy makes more than Crosby and has played like a 4th liner all playoffs. He deserves intense scrutiny.

No argument here, he's been putrid. Can't wait til he & Strome are no longer a thing.

 

[McSauer]

The PP won us this series.

Imagine if we even had HALF of this current PP in '12, '14 and '15?

We're winning with it now and that's allllll that matters. Keep it rolling!!

 

[broadwayblue]

Fun times. Great heart by these guys.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I would like to see a 4th line of Motte-Goodrow-Blais next series. That would be so cool.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I thought this game from Panarin was alot like his one in game 6. Just meh, which is a step up from 1-5.

If he were just "meh" the entire series, they win in 6 or less.

He's going to have to be great if they want to beat Tampa.

 

[I Eat Crow]

We're like a cockroach that you spray 17 times and the legs are still going

Said it to my good buddy before these playoffs started. I get LA Kings 2011-2014 vibes from this group. Not in terms of style of play with the volume shooting, but just like you said, absolute cockroaches that just wouldn't die.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

So happy tonight we did it

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Also a big fat LOL to Pittsburgh beat writers crying about the Trouba hit tonight.

What a bunch of unprofessional sacks of shit they have covering their team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I mean, it's what happens when ESPN has non-hockey people producing the broadcast.

People are making way too much of it, it was probably a regular hand shake a "congrats" and that's it. What are you guys expecting to happen?

I'm pretty sure those guys hate each other less than we hate either player.

Yeah I mean he wasn’t great, but he was mostly fine. He was burned ass in games 1-5 though so him being meh fine is a big improvement for me. Hopefully with Tampa being a less smothering team that Panarin will make good use of the extra time and space. Hopefully his slight improvement keeps going up until he’s back to himself.

He did get an assist tonight on the Strome goal he sprung Strome on the 2 on 1.

 

[The New Russian Five]

Anyone who wanted to lose to keep that pick needs their head examined. The amount of picks we’ve made in the past few years we have so many assets, I gladly take the trip to the ECF in exchange for that pick. The experience for everyone from Igor on out is massive not to mention the kids actually being important contributors.

And you can't say Copp hasn't been worth what we gave away. Dude has been phenomenal for us.

He's a good hockey player. We need to sign him and Motte.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Gallant needs to knock it off with this 4th line/3rd pair nonsense.

MAYBE he can start f***ing around with it if Blais comes back (and who knows what he's going to look like) but with Reaves it's just.... asking for it to come back and bite us in the ass.

We are considerably better with out Rooney though. Remove Reaves from the equation and I imagine that the improvement would be similar.

 

[Number 9]

I don’t think half the fans in hockey watched the game before 2010. They think any hit is dirty it’s comical. Trouba is getting blasted for clean hits. The state of hockey man

Brindamour did the exact same thing...to match up with us.

3 of the Sam goal calls for those on the hunt.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So, aside from 4 games against a Panthers team many people felt might be a paper tiger, Tampa struggled to get past Toronto (who wouldn’t have scared me) and I honestly don’t think I felt like I was scared of Tampa before the playoff started. Sure, they’ve proven they’re still not to be taken lightly, but I was WAY more scared of Carolina coming into the playoffs than I am of Tampa.

Personally? I think the Rangers are making it to the SCF.

Is it possible that this was because we were coming off a shaky series against the Pens that they didn't look good for long periods of time and now we're coming off a much better series win?

This man is 74 and can still hang on radio.

He's a touch slow, but f***, he's 74!!!

Legend.
