Out of Town Thread - Playoffs Edition

[Rapala]

Oilers have a lot of rats.

They need them and they know it.

2nd period ends 2-2 between Minnesota & Dallas.

It may be just me but I like Edmonton's build better than the Leafs.

It may be just me but I like Edmonton's build better than the Leafs.

that's not saying much but yes it looks like Edmonton finally turned a corner. curious to see how they'll do against a real contender

They actually have a good team. Skinner and ekholm were the missing links.

We saw what they could do last season this team is light years better IMO.

They are the real contender.

Avs and Canes have too many injuries, Boston is a paper tiger and NJD is too young.

I guess theres Tampa and Vegas, unsure of whats their status, theyre old.

Bouchard's been impressive

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Korpisalo has been really good for Kings so far.

Edmonton need to bury that third goal.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

ESPN PBP crew for Oilers game are fun, they're loving the McDavid show and not trying to hide it

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We saw what they could do last season this team is light years better IMO.

They picked up some good forward depth. They grabbed Kostin from St. Louis he's added size & 4th line grind, and Janmark. Then added Ekholm & Bjustad at TDL, and saw growth from young players like Bouchard, Skinner & Desharnais.

Plus, they're entire top 6 had career years.

 

[Twisted Sinister]

You know, I have to say, I'm not much of a moar bigger guy, but watching the way these playoffs have started makes me think I might have to start changing my mind.

Holy moley there's a lot of smashing going on.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Edmonton need to bury that third goal.

Kings look like they're no threat to score.

Although, Kings PP now.

We should be good on D, but yeah, we have to be careful about getting too small upfront.

 

[The Real Timo]

Phil Danno will lead kings to the win. I have no doubt.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, 3rd period of Dallas-Minnesota has started. Won't be surprised if it goes to OT. 2 well matched teams.

 

[Rapala]

Kings look like they're no threat to score.

Although, Kings PP now.

LOL at Kane complaining after wrapping his stick around someone's head.

Phil Danno will lead kings to the win. I have no doubt.

McDavid has turned the tables and has him shadowed.

 

[MadMslm]

Kings can barely create any real chances. You can see they are missing Fiala.

Bodies flying everywhere! Best playoffs in pro sports!

 

[The Real Timo]

That Bouchard guy... is he d'chez nous? I mean he seems better than Barron or even Chris Wideman. Weren't we talking about getting him at some point? What it when Eddy was going to get some young talent?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Dallas D is really getting forechecked hard. A lot of giveaways.

When you realize you have to win sixteen of these it's critical to have some beef on the squad. Beef that can skate and play decent hockey.

Bouchard is from Oakville, Ontario.

He's definitely better than Wideman, but pretty much every defenseman in NHL is. Even many who are in AHL are better than Wideman.

Bouchard is 2 years older than Barron, and was soft as shit too at 20-21. Need to give Barron time.

Fake gars de chez nous but he's got a cannon at the point very dangerous on that PP
