OOT scoreboard 2025 playoff edition

Yeah, I assume that scoreboard thing is about the toy rats in a blowout game. Gotta be annoying for a game to be delayed for the players in that. Times like this is where you wish they have a running clock but they'd never do that
 
Also really crappy officiating. Luostarainen gets 5 minutes and tossed for boarding when there was no boarding. He’s actually pulled away from the guy and didn’t drive him from behind. And then the guy who was hit comes back for the 2d period.

And this in a series where Gostesbiere shoots a puck intentionally at Marchand and isn’t suspended. And where Aho intentionally slew asses Reinhart in the knee with a late hit and causes injury and again there’s no discipline.

The injuries are certainly piling up for Florida. Mikkola too late in the 3d. The cumulative effect may show in the finals if those guys don’t come back.

Canes need to go a big time center, Aho just doesn't have the goods to be a 1C in a big/Cup series. Slotting him as a 2C would make them tremendous.

Svech being a negative when he was a monster the first 2 rounds has stopped the Canes train in its tracks.

Management better not go after Marner in the summer but they probably will try

If Florida wins Monday they will have 12 days off before the Final. The Cup Final isn’t scheduled to start until June 7. I think the only move up scenario is if Dallas/Edmonton also goes less than 5 games.
 
also Kotchekov laid an egg in the 3d period. The Boqvist goal was a bad one and that opened the flood gates and every goal after that up until the one that went in off of Gostebiehre was a shot that you, under championship circumstances, want your goalie to stop. Just a little off his angle here, a bit over positioned there . . . Beaten clean 3 times in a short span.

They gave up on Freddie too soon...I get it, down 2-0 after two home losses you're just throwing shit against a wall, but that kid isn't the answer to any question. He was below average all year and almost let our rotted corpse back in the series.

Still isn’t forgivable. There’s no justification for letting go of a solid bottom 6er who fit the team to a tee when that guy goes on to make league min. NO JUSTIFICATION.

I said it before, we’re too cheap to give a one way deal for a depth player in AHL.

Boston does that. They gave Greer a one- way 2 year deal (750k, 775k minors) in July 2022. They gave Boqvist (775k minors) in July 2023.

Boston also didn’t qualify Boqvist and let Greer walk as a UFA, that’s how Florida signed them both last off-season.
 
Mistake number one.
Andersen and not Kochetkov would be fine. And Kochetkov and not Andersen could be doable depending on who the not Andersen is.

If Andersen weren’t such an injury case and 36 years old he wouldn’t be such a problem, but he’s not reliable enough to be counted on because he’s old and too frequently injury. And many times it’s long term.

Kochetkov just isn’t good enough.

I don’t think it’s being too cheap. I think it’s Fitz being a complete and utter moron. He Nick f***ing DeSimone a one way last year
 
Just chiming in to say that Boq is a very good depth player and there was zero reason to not to retain him at league minimum…

No don’t you see it’s obviously brilliant teambuilding to let your 24 year old good bottom 6 C/W with the talent to be plugged higher in a lineup just walk rather than keep them around for league minimum…

It’s really f***ing insane how many people don’t see the flawed thinking and argue it’s either “fine” or “good” that we just let him walk. Some people really will just gargle Fitz nuts over anything if it means taking the opposite side of the “haters”. IIRC there were literally people arguing KURTIS MCDERMID WAS MORE VALUABLE THAN BOQVIST!!!!!
