NHL: Around the League 52

[Panzerspitze]

Blizzard seems like a safe corporate option for a team, and it lets Smith own two -zz- teams.

None of the rumored names really do anything for me, though.

So what will their eventual MLB team be? Buzzards? Jacuzzis? Pizzas?

Buzzsaws

It will be something bee related I bet.

Torts doubling down on historically awful Flyers PP by keeping PP coach

 

[Kevin Musto]

'Utah Outlaws' is the next name that has been trademarked

'Utah Outlaws' is the next name that has been trademarked

When I think of Outlaws, Utah doesn't come to mind

That would have been more fitting for a team in New Mexico, Arizona or a couple other places IMO

Torts talking about Couturier agent and the benching, called his agent a pissant




Couturier/Torts relationship will be interesting going into next year. I assume Couturier will still be captain, but you never know especially after the health scratches.

The Flyers really are just gonna run it back eh?

A ridiculously bad penalty call puts NYI in a hole after less than 2 minutes in. Hopefully, not a sign of what's to come in this years playoffs.

 

[Styles]

I was surprised to see Carolina as the betting favorite to win the cup.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Skjei flopped like a fish.

This game is heating up. Islanders came to play

If we had traded them Mrazek at the deadline and they had gotten average goaltending, the would have made the playoffs IMo

After 1 minute and 30 seconds, I can already tell you that this Toronto Boston series is going to be one for the ages.

Glad we got Boston/Toronto and Florida/ Tampa instead of the other way around.

 

[Styles]

This is going to be a taxing series on whoever comes out of it on top. I expect Tampa and Florida to be the same.

Leafs addition of snarl/biteback with Domi/Bertuzzi is evident in this game. We'll see if that was a move that actually helps though

Domi is just killing the Leafs right now. He’s a good player, but he’s unbelievably stupid.

I'm sure leafs fans are all blaming the refs. Every penalty has been legit. Yet the Leafs got a gift of a clear, it wasn't much but I wanted to give them one, penalty to end the 2nd and did nothing with it.

He's in his own head right now. I get his gritty style, but his skill should be at the forefront of his game tonight.

That said, the call on Marchand was kind of weak IMO, especially considering the two parties involved - but a slash is a slash.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Leafs alway try and show how ‘tough’ they are in the playoffs. But don’t go full r…. Like that but they just cannot help themselves. I love watching it burn not gonna lie.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kampf gives Leafs life

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Every year I say it, but Marner just absolutely melts in the playoffs. He wishes he had an ounce of Patrick Kane in him.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Matthews refused to go into a corner mid way through the game too, just eased up and let the Bruin Dman get the puck first. These guys just don't have 'it'.

They never have.

You can't teach that to players. They can have all the skill in the world, but if they don't have that winners mentality, well, they stay losing.
