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

[Juicy Pop]

For Canadian ones. And not even the big ones.

If anything it would be the conspiracy that ESPN wants a GOAT winning a championship to help sell the game to non-hockey fans.

Broberg makes a behind the back pass without looking, which is a turnover, and McDavid has to take a penalty to make sure it’s not a goal.

 

[DancingPanther]

Was that Nurse? What in the Flyers was that lol

What are they gonna do? Talk about McDavid every day on First Take?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Janmark is so dumb haha

He looks like a catfish

Nah, but having a Gretzky-esque player help to pull of an impossible comeback, while breaking records, at least makes the TV deal more savory.

NHL gamecenter is also apparently overloaded

 

[FlyerNutter]

Skinner is so dialed in.

Florida isn’t getting a lot of chances but he’s been so good the last few games.

He’s going to beat Sergei, and I’ll weep a little. Bastard

Has the Stanley Cup drought made the Canadian fanbases so petty that they're cheering against the Oilers?

Hardcore Canadian hockey fans typically would rather see an American team win over a team that isn't their own.

Casuals are more slanted towards cheering for any Canadian team to win, even if their team is out.

***this is entirely anecdotal.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Probably. But nobody knows what that means. Seriously though, they need to fix this as @Angry Hockey Dad said. I get it, but it's a bullshit thing to overturn a goal because of that. There needs to be some language about it leading to a clear advantage or something. And a time limit. If a team scores 20 seconds after a slightly offsides entry, that should be a goal.

Exactly what I was mansplaining to my girlfriend. Being a couple thousandths of an inch offside 20 seconds before a goal doesn’t give them an advantage. That Colorado goal where Duchene was 20 feet offside should be the plays we review.

Panthers showing no resilience here. Really poor. How can they even come back from this if they lose this series? I know the Bruins did it after 2010, but that was the 2nd round.

I mean, I guess it makes sense. Everybody wants to be the team that ends the drought rather than watch a rival do it.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This is the way. Make it easier to be onside.

#2 is what I'd prefer, but it just changes where the 1mm review happens. Not sure it solves the problem...

Which I don't think is a problem, anyway.

"There's more pressure tonight on Edmonton."

Whaaat?

 

[GKJ]

"There's more pressure tonight on Edmonton."

Whaaat?

Coaches will say anything they have to

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This is horrible. What a choke job. Edmonton has throttled Florida since the start of Game 4.

 

[GKJ]

Bruv

 

[Cody Webster]

Canada gets its cup

 

[BigToe]

You love to see it

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh man

 

[DancingPanther]

Yes!!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wow that is dagger

Brutal

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

That’s the series haha. No way Florida comes back for game 7.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Edmonton is killing the Panthers in the middle of the ice.

 

[Juicy Pop]

That’s the series haha. No way Florida comes back for game 7.

Or they do and they put a wound in Edmonton that never heals lol

 

[DancingPanther]

The patented Bobrovski leaky armpit

 

[Juicy Pop]

Bob, you're off the case
