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

[Cody Webster]

I thought the Panthers were supposed to regress and miss the playoffs? What happened?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The structure here just can’t happen



Unless your goaltender is that good to bail you out, this doesn’t work. Oilers are just cooked overall, they’re doing things that they weren’t doing even when they were in tough battles with Vancouver and Dallas.

They’ve been getting forechecked into oblivion. With no transition game, Edmonton has turned into a Hakstol-style point offense. It would take an AV against Montreal type of self-sabotage that to change at this point.

 

[Danko]

Can we just award the cup now?

 

[Amorgus]

When you let f***ing ERod score on you three times in two games you may want to swap your goalies.

Fletcher guaranteed this Cup the second he traded Giroux for their 2024 1st way back in 2022. His luck makes Eddie Mush look like Nick Papagiorgio.

The Panthers may save my summer. I live in Edmonton and it would have been insufferable all summer

Oilers putting up a last ditch effort

Very Flyers like. Do nothing for 50 minutes

 

[Rebels57]

Ekblad just killed 20 seconds by himself in the corner. That was crazy. Oilers are done.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

A god damn shame Giroux isn’t on the team still

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Flyers curse... poor guy

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Someone's spending a fortune on Reinhart. Something tells me it's gonna be a Metro team.

They call him Fatblad on the Cats board and he sat his lardass on that puck. I knew it wasn't getting out.

Barkov scoring the goal to seal it after the Oilers tried to take him out was sweet karma.

I've noticed that NHL teams are more and more using the word club instead of franchise. Seen it in several official tweets and now the Utah team.
Is this a new thing? Are they trying to get away from NHL teams sounding like corporations?

 

[TheKingPin]

Nurse is so f***ing bad. That contract has killed Edmontons chance to build the necessary depth around on McDrai.

They have some good deals outside of him though. Their window is closing depending on the cap. Drai’s contract is going to be very high soon.

I also think that the Panthers are that good and a top heavy team like the oilers are at the greatest risk vs them. Dallas would have had a better shot for sure.

I haven’t noticed a huge change but think soccer is gaining a lot of ground these days in NA. A lot of teams are just xxxx FC

I think the first time I noticed it was a Flyers tweet quoting Briere a few weeks ago. Caught my eye that it said "our club" and not "our franchise". Then I saw other teams doing it as well. Never noticed that before.

 

[Lotusflower]

Satisfying to watch Tampa, Vegas and Florida win 4 of the last 5 Cups considering there's still a huge segment of fans in NA who think certain fans dont deserve hockey 'cause too much sun.
