NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[CanadianFlyer88]

Stuart Skinner getting a shutout in a Conference Final would be akin to Leighton... but the Stars are not the Habs.

This series continues to shock me. I thought Dallas would steamroll Edmonton. I do wonder if they burned their energy beating Vegas and Colorado. They don't look the same against a weaker opponent.

Skinner has been really good this period. I think he's very clearly the worst goalie of the 4 teams (maybe even including back ups haha). But he's doing his part to quell any momentum

Wyatt Johnston.

So hot right now.

 

[DancingPanther]

Let's gooooooo McDavid!!

 

[trostol]

maybe it's the Oilers we should be imitating

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Ken Holland one step closer bringing Oilers to the promise land.

But that would entail being terrible and drafting high picks over and over again until you get two of the most talented players in the sport! We would have no integrity!

I still maintain that Fletcher had a good first off-season and his moves were a major reason the team was so good that year.

But it was downhill from there.

It was an unmitigated disaster.

He had mountains of cap space, loads of assets, key players still in their primes, and a desirable head coaching gig to offer. It was an especially rare opportunity to positively change the direction of the franchise, and he completely blew it. We ended up with franchise-center piece cum pariah Kevin Hayes, Justin Braun at too high a price in cap space and assets spent, one season of really effective regular season play from Matt Niskanen but minus Gudas, Chris Stewart taking up space for no reason whatsoever, yet more Brian Elliott, losses all over the margins, and AV & Michel Therrien. It set the stage for everything that's transpired since.

We win the integrity and culture cup. Yippee.

Dallas obviously has a bright future but if they lose it hopefully still shows that elite talent wins a series in the end.

I mean, they have elite talent...and lots of depth. I think they're just gassed after going through Vegas and Colorado.

Yeah, and the argument falls apart implying elite talent wins only if you assume Colorado didn’t have any. Dallas rolled through them.

Edmonton isn’t winning just because McDrai going apeshit; they are actually playing a solid, complete team game.

Their defensive play has been impressive for most of the series. They are taking away everything in the center of the ice.

1. The Gostisbehere-Giroux Winnipeg OT Winner.
2. That gif that Cap made with Hakstol in the Red Room.
3. Jake’s deadhead Tweet.
4. Nope, that’s it.

Number 3 reminded me of a prompt I did with ChatGPT a few days ago

[tictactoe]

[GKJ]

Rangers score with 100 seconds left

 

[BiggE]

Suck it New York!!

 

[FlyerNutter]

Zibanejad constantly throwing the puck away with asinine pases in that last minute was something to watch.

f*** off NY.

 

[Amorgus]

Screw the Rags, Messier, and Ferraro! WTG Cats

[ponder719]

Oh, thank f***.

Now, let's get rid of the Stars, and I'm good.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I don’t think Dallas or Edmonton can beat Florida
