Out of Town Thread - Playoffs Edition

[MarkovsKnee]

Oomph. Those last 2 goals by Boston had a lot of stink on them, especially the 2nd goal by Marchand.

Lyon having his hamburglar playoff moment.

 

[Rapala]

Nick Cousins? He was Julien's go to guy. Power play, penalty kills, key game situations - you name it!!!

True dat but they need a "Shake Up Call" The Panthers have a lack of talent in the bottom six. The other option would be Giovanni Smith.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He's been ass this year without Huberdeau. I feel like they had a great duo going on

Yeah, Tkachuk tends be a one man show. Barkov looked off to me this year too, but he's also had a few injuries

 

[Runner77]

Probably their version of “Ole, Ole.”

It only gets really serious when they start chanting “USA! USA! USA!”

Bolduc is impressive. Knew hed be great.

Inexcusable that they went for Struble instead

Bolduc is the guy Suzuki beat up ice from 10 feet back to make that awesome one handed goal. He's a bit on the slow side. Isles fans feel he isn't NHL calibre. He needs to be sheltered.

Well... thems are not real 'mricans in florida anyway... so USA! USA! USA! is not our of order.

Just saw a commercial for the Hockey Hair HOF.

If it exists, Moneyhands, Pezz and Toffoli have to be in it.

After the great Patrice Brisbois, Carey Price has the best hair hands down.

Well, hes been NHL quality tonight. Crisp passes, good shots.

 

[Rapala]

The Islanders were so much better with Jordan Eberle.

Those are follicular champs, no doubt.

Toffoli generates the most stylish air flo moments, followed by Pezz.

 

[Mrb1p]

I like that the Carolina barn is full. Good to see.

 

[Runner77]

Doesn’t quite feel like the playoffs yet. More animosity needed.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The Western series are going to be way better than the Eastern ones, especially in 1st round.

TB-Tor, and NJ-NYR are the only interesting ones in East.

 

[Mrb1p]

It should be good one as there's only one team in the east that has the centers to shutdown McJesus and Draisaitl and it's LA with Danault and Kopitar....still, I have Edmonton in 6

No chance. Especially with Kopitar slowing down. They tried last year and Mcdavid lead the league in points in thst first round with 14 in 7. Draisaitl had 9 in 7.

Kopitar and Drano combined for 9 points in the series

Watching KK operate it's clear to me Necas is responsible for a large portion of his growth.

Well Necas is a good player, but is that really the takeaway you had from this game? He played a very good game. Set up Noesen twice, was all alone in front of the net for an easy goal but Noesen is Noesen.

No this has been a year long progression. And yes Necas was very good in this game. Not to take away anything from what KK has accomplished but he's not doing it alone is all I'm saying.

Carolina's Barn can burn for all I care.

Kotkaniemi does the defensive heavy lifting, always deep in his zone and hes very good to tilt the ice.

Absolutely Rod the Bod put him through the grinder for two years running. It's starting to pay dividends obviously.

 

[McGees]

Just joining... what's happening? Are Habs winning yet?

Ya Ducharme is coaching a hell of a game. O'Byrne and Higgins are looking good.

Ducharme wouldnt even make the POs in the Habs alumni league

 

[Runner77]

Bruins score …

But, there is a challenge for goalie interference.

No goal!

Score remains 3-1 Bruins with 3:16 to go.

 

[River Meadow]

Paul Maurice is the coach in the NHL.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Just realized Lundkvist has been scratched down the stretch and he's not playing tonight.

They gave up pick 25 in this draft for him.

Lol Oilers arena looks so out of place and already outdated. Should have looked at the Jackets or Isles new barns.
