NHL: Around the League 52

[Il Stugotz]

I doubt our 2013 forwards get out of the first round with these 6. McCabe and Edmundson are 2 and 3 in ice time (~20 mins a game)

 

[BobbyJet]

The thing is it’s been their offense, not defense that has let them down in the playoffs.

I think they just spent a lot of money on regular season warriors.

Yep. But honestly, Bruins hockey hasn't changed in 40 years. Their team game is second to none each and every season and seem to always be built for the playoffs. They beat the Leafs in every aspect of the game and reduce Leafs offense to one and done with their style. Add an underrated Swayman to the mix and we have a no contest. It's the same story every time they meet in the playoffs.

 

[Styles]

Theres nothing better than the Leafs being down 3-1 and hopefully losing this series.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

As I've said for a few years, the Leafs are the '07 & '08 Cubs. Very good, but not the best, and looking for an excuse to duck out.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

8 min into game and shots are 12-2 Avs

And now its 1-0 Avs

Lifeless effort from Jets thus far

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

When Avs want they just dominate

2 quick goals for Avs make it 3-1

Shots 27-13

I'd give my left nut to watch Makar play for the Hawks.

 

[JaegerDice]

I'm so stupid. I had Colorado winning over Winnipeg based on star power and coaching in the first draft of my bracket, but I overthought it and switched to Winnipeg because of depth and goaltending.

Ah well.

I'd give my left nut to watch Makar play for the Hawks.

I think Colorado turns down that trade.

Now we know what everybody else felt watching Keith play for us. A do-everything #1D is just such a weapon in modern hockey. 30 minutes of problem per night for the other team.

 

[Putt Pirate]

I remember people saying they would like Mathews on the Hawks. Hell to the no if that ever happens unless we already have playoff performers and he is complimentary. The pressure.....their core cannot handle it. And he looks scared during the playoffs most of the time. Guessing marner gets shopped at Tavares has one more year left.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Winnipeg might be headed to the bottom sooner rather than later. Looking at their potential defense next year and in two years vs defensive prospects they have, they’re going to need a major retool if not a rebuild.

I'd take Morrissey off their hands for the right price if they ever decided to tear it down.

DEFENSIVELY, McCabe is an ok 2nd pairing guy. The others are all 3rd pairing level.
Rielly is a great offensive Dman but a #6 guy in his own zone.
That doesn’t work in playoff hockey.

 

[Pez68]

Vancouver averaging 17 shots a game just isn't going to get it done.

 

[BobbyJet]

The Van/Nashvile game was a yawner until the last 3 minutes. Canucks score 2 with goalie pulled and between goals, Preds hit the post with the net empty. LOL

For those who never saw Bobby Orr play.... think a more physical Makar on steroids.

 

[BobbyJet]

And Canucks pull off the comeback! 4-3 final to take 3-1 lead in the series.

Only the 8th team in NHL history to score 2 late goals with their net empty and win in OT.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Fold the Preds

Pathetic

And Canucks pull off the comeback! 4-3 final to tie the series.

Series is 3-1 Nucks

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Love watching the Preds suck donkey balls.

 

[BobbyJet]

Series is 3-1 Nucks

I changed it immediately.... but thank-you..

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Rangers are first to advance as they sweep the Caps

 

[Pez68]

It's hilarious that shit team made the playoffs to begin with.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I imagine hell to be this what a pro wants ad on repeat.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kings outshoot Oilers 33-13 but lose 1-0

Bouchard PPG turned out to be only goal Oilers needed

Take 3-1 series lead

 

[HeisenBaez]

You could have also compared them with the Cowboys. Spend a lot of money, championship asiprations, early playoff failure, rinse and repeat.
