Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XLIX: Covid Cup Edition

[Tripod]

"for the remainder of the StanleyCupPlayoffs"

So he'll probably be back.

So...he doesn't want to be a distraction to the players?

Ironic.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

My first round picks were appalling, so let's go for further embarrassment in round 2:

Flyers over Isles in 6
Lightning over Bruins in 6

Vegas over Canucks in 6 - possibly the most entertaining match up of these playoffs.

Avs over Stars in 5 - my two favourite non-Flyers teams to watch over the past two seasons, but a healthy Avs should cut right through these Stars.

Nate is so damn good

It triggers me that Benn and Seguin and Klingberg all still wear their old rebranded Easton helmets. They’re like the only guys in the NHL who do, and it’s like a secret society. But Easton was elite.

It also triggers me that MacKinnon is this good.

We should've tanked more for that 2013 draft. Smh my head.

 

[Prongo]

That was a terrible goal. Literally had the entire glove side to shoot at. And I’m pretty sure McGuire just said nothing he could do?? Did I hear that right. 25 feet out and gave him a gaping hole to shoot into.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

omg

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm pretty sick of looking at Joe Pavelski and his horse teeth.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Go Stars! The Avs probably weren’t done any favors by playing an AHL franchise in the quarterfinals.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

My Avs in 5 prediction is already looking embarrassing.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Time for the Francouz show.

Grubauer looks very injured. Eek.

 

[Chinatown88]

RIP

 

[Starat327]

That's....less than ideal.

Should of drafted the #2 pick for MacKinnon in 2017 when he was a disappointment.

 

[orangey]

Yikes. That sucks.

 

[TCTC]

Is there ever an Avalanche goal without MacKinnon being involved? He's incredible.

 

[Chinatown88]

Well then.

 

[TCTC]

Not a lot of defense in this game. But it sure is entertaining.

 

[Starat327]

Juicy rebound. Gotta stretch the toes more on that one so it goes to the side.

 

[Chinatown88]

I wish we could do stuff in the OZ like this.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Juicy rebound. Gotta stretch the toes more on that one so it goes to the side.

Just came into the game cold and it was a similar shot to what had just injured his partner.

The second part doesn't matter, but I don't fault Francouz on that one. Smart shot in the circumstances.

 

[Rebels57]

If Dallas can fluke their way to the Cup and we can fluke our way to the Cup, we might win lol

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Avs dropping like flies in this game.

Johnson looks done, too.

 

[Rebels57]

MacKinnon again

Just coming in to the game doesnt exactly excuse fundamentals. When youre at the top of the crease, you have to puill your toes/skate back so the toe bridge doesnt curl the rebound to the center of the ice like that.

Im not saying Francous is at fault there entirely, but he has to control that better.
