Will be overpayment for whoever gets this half playoff ghostAnother one bites the dust.
During his show: Donnie and Dhali, Dhaliwal dropped a juicy bomb saying he is hearing Jason Robertson's name out there as someone that has been made available via trade.
For those that dont know, Rick Dhaliwal is a media member based in Vancouver. He is highly connected especially with player agents and is known as one of if not the most reliable people with sources. He has broken the news of many signings and trades before it became reality.
Pat Brisson is Robertson's Agent...Brisson has been on Dhaliwal's show many many times.
The segment started with Dhaliwal encouraging the...

Probably the Kings and Vegas too.
Actually he's been quite good in the playoffs before this year, the Oilers should absolutely look into this. He scored 100pts in Dallas, he could easily do that in Edmonton.Will be overpayment for whoever gets this half playoff ghost
Yep, watching some clips against Carolina he did it to Anderson. Drove the net from the corner then just fell on him making sure to smack him in the head. It’s obvious what this clown does and if there is any whiff of it early on he needs to be tuned in. We have to match them physically all over the ice. Most of their supposed tough players are smaller guys. I’d love to see Podz throw down with Bennett. I think it would be a big surprise to him after catching a few.Bennett will try to elbow Skinner's head. He did it to Stolarz and Anderson, not sure about Vali of TML. But I'm sure the coaches will get the players ready for all of the Cats antics.
This is the Achilles heel for them that is a pretty big one and goes mostly unrecognized/not discussed.
If they don't win a vast majority of those races and puck battles low on their dumps, they don't really have a lot of other ways to generate offence or possession 5v5. If they start losing this battle (as they did decisively in Games 4-6 last year), they are forced to revert into a shell and try to win 2-1 like they did in Game 7. Is it possible to win this way? 100% it is, but its very, very difficult to do that over 7 games especially when we can burn you on the PP even if closed down 5v5.
When you look at last year's series, I feel like we lost all of the first 3 games for no reason other than we just weren't ready for the stage and basically had nails starting to go into the coffin before we figured it out. Once we actually settled ourselves down we won 3 games and they won 1. If we don't allow ourselves to fall into a hole again (and I would be stunned if we did), it is going to be very difficult for them to win 4 games.
This. Bob was out of his mind good that game 1. It isn’t repeatable.Here are the results of games 1-3 last year
Result, Moneypuck deserve to win, Edmonton goal GSAx, Florida GSAx
3-0, 90% Edmonton, -0.52, 5.7 (holy shit! I never knew it was THAT high)
1-4, 70% Florida, -0.58, 0.39
3-4, 63% Edmonton, -1.25, 0.67
We weren't down 3-0 because we weren't ready, in fact we utterly dominated the first game of the series to a laughably bad degree. We were down 3-0 because we badly lost the goaltending battle in games 1 and 3. Edmonton was the better team in 2 out of the first 3 games, and in the first game was about as dominant as a team can be.
As an aside, I don't ever remember seeing a +5.7 on Moneypuck before for a single game by a goalie, that is beyond bonkers.
Robertson was one of like three Stars players who even showed up against Edmonton.
But I'm sure it's noise. Teams that just got eliminated are often rumored to be considering some crazy shit.

Yeah, but it's you, so you're reactively stating yourself as correct. It goes with your overall posting style.
I think you're just guessing because you can't do the opposite of this, it would be too on the nose.
He's the only guy who showed up against Edmonton. In the final 12 period of the series, Robertson 4 goals, the rest of the team 1 goal combined.Will be overpayment for whoever gets this half playoff ghost
Game 1, yes it was that bad. Frustrating loss as no one could score.Here are the results of games 1-3 last year

The tying goal went off a skate it's like blaming desmith for kanes goal. I'd say their d choked it away by letting him skate through both of them and wrap it around off one of their feetNo one will agree with me but I think Blackwood choked that Game 7.
Lol. But don't Maple Leaf fans always make it sound like they only lose because they always play cup favourites. Granted, the fact that 11 times their opponent made the finals (12 now) when they've only made the playoffs 20 times in that stretch might actually support their case.Fun stat;
Since 1993, there have been 11 teams to eliminate the Toronto Maple Leafs on their way to making the Stanley Cup Final. Those 11 teams have a combined finals record of 1-10, with the 2000 Devils being the only team to win.

I ordered the Weastern Conference Championship/2024 Stanley Cup flag from the NHL shop last year and it didn’t arrive until game 4. So being the smart guy that I am with my battered wife syndrome and what not I order the 2025 cup final flag and they are saying expected delivery is the 23rd of June. The god damn cup will have been handed out already!!! Stupid merchants at the NHL and bloody fanatics.![]()
I was just listening to What Chaos and they mentioned this incident. So Tkachuk and Frederic have been friends since they were 5. Frederic was really pissed after Tkachuk tricked him into dropping the gloves, made comments like they’re not friends anymore.
I didn’t know they had drama like that. Could be interesting.
