NHL: Around the League 52

[Styles]

Ten years ago the Kings came back from 0-3 in a series. Let’s see if these Canes are made of similar stuff.

All 3 games have been close. They get a few more saves, and there’s a possibility.

Cant win 4 without winning one.

Lets go Canes! My bracket depends on you!

Cope.

 

[Styles]

Hank deserves better on this broadcast.

2-0 Carolina mid way through 1st.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Rangers finally going to break through this year I think.

If Bruins get going we could get Boston vs New York in both NHL and NBA ECF

 

[JaegerDice]

Great breakdown by Bieksa on how DeAngelo is an absolute f***ing moron out there.

 

[ClydeLee]

Hey the GM willingly waived Deangelo and yet Rod plays this guy still

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Wonder who gives him a contract next year, is this it for him?

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Man. What a soft goal. CAR just doesn’t have that it factor.

Lots of UFA on that roster I wouldn’t mind seeing on the Hawks. Bring 86 back

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Haven’t paid much attention to him but Kakko has basically been a big pile of nothing in the NHL, right?

The Kings actually had an elite goalie, top end talent, championship pedigree, and elite depth.

Canes only have the depth part down

Shea Shay skjei skejee skaje scores on pp

 

[Backyard Hockey]

Side note. That Hartford Whalers logo is so damn cool

JD about to blow a gasket.

That’s one.

3 more to go for the Canes to add their names to a short list in history. We’ll see if they have what it takes.

Four 1-goal games. This series must be heart attack city for fans of either team.

Bruins' Jim Montgomery Sends Clear Message After Brad Marchand Injury

Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery was diplomatic but stern in his response to the hit that landed Brad Marchand an early trip to the showers.

Montgomery doing his best to turn this into a street fight. I didn't see a punch thrown, and the league looked at it and saw nothing.

Montgomery is right about one thing: Bennett suckered Knies in last years playoffs in a similar fashion. He's sneaky dirty alright ... though the angle I saw you couldn't tell but Marchand was clearly in pain and it's a huge loss for Bruins.

EDIT: just found this link that gives a good view of Bennett punching Marchand with glove on and stick in hand: Here's A Closer Look At The Sneaky Sucker Punch That Panthers Lunatic Sam Bennett Delivered To Bruins Captain Brad Marchand, Eventually Knocking Him Out Of Last Night's Game Three

 

[BobbyJet]

This round isn't over yet but it looks like I underestimated Dallas and NYR... and overrated Carolina and Avs. In other words my bracket pools are in shambles, again.

 

[ClydeLee]

Well Pasta quickly delivers an attempted revenge shot

 

[BobbyJet]

Another f***ing cheap penalty to Bruins. Tkachuk should win an oscar for his antics to draw penalties.

 

[BobbyJet]

Now, the refs are rubbing Bruins face in it.

 

[Joemoe]

Nice goal by Barkov

Nice goal by Barkov

It was. He shook Pastrnak off like like wasn't there. With the score at 2-0, Bruins had 3 one-on-ones with the goalie and couldn't bury it. You just knew it would haunt them in the end.

When Panthers play like this, with Bob playing his part, they have/are the perfect playoff team. Griitty as hell (without getting penalties) and offensive when it's needed.

Draisaitl can't manage to stay on his skates over and over and over to start the game...until a puck comes his way with half the net open then he smooth skates a half step in a split second and looks like his old self.

Maybe it's BS nostalgia or something but I feel like the flopping in the NHL playoffs is taking over a bigger chunk of the game.

On the opposite end of that the refs in the Panthers/Bruins game actually called an interference on someone holding up a guy on a dump in (long after the puck is gone) near the boards. But, not until there was like 30 seconds left in the game. They haven't called that all playoffs long.

Drai is an incredibly unlikeable player. He's like if you made Hossa an even better offensive player that didn't care about defense and played like Marchand.

The Panthers are doing to the Bruins what the Bruins did to everyone for years.
