Playoffs: whom to cheer, whom to jeer

[Zetterberg4Captain]

And some serious team chemistry issues. There's the clip of Nylander on the bench telling either Matthews or Marner (I'm guessing Marner) to "stop f***ing crying bro, this isn't f***ing junior hockey."

I know he scored a great goal last night but I would not want Marner for any amount of money. The dude cannot spell compete or realgud.

It was Marner for sure he was talking to.

But Marners compete isn't the Leafs issue...Matthews is being paid to be Crosby but he simply can not or will not lead the team...ever...regular season is meaningless

I'd take Marner and I suspect he'll be traded to a US team and resign 8 years @9m and will thrive so long as some true leaders are on the team...ie not Austin Matthews

Agreed. Except for the part about taking Marner. Do not want.

The funniest part about this clip is the look on Bert's face like "I am so f***ing out of here next year."

Jets looking cooked here, give us Connor.

Preds blowing a 3-1 lead with 3 mins left woof. Nucks playing a third stringer as well.

Roman Josi with a muffin of a clear attempt around the boards and the Preds letting three Nucks players hang out around their goalie. crazy.

And the collapse is complete.

I still hold some hate for NSH from our old Western Conference days so I threw some money at that game and was bummed to see VAN down with 5 left. Tuned in anyways and was on the edge of my seat! Nice comeback win for me but Vancouver didn’t look very convincing for most of what I watched even when they were scoring.

God I wish we signed Trocheck in the off season a few years ago.

 

[FabricDetails]

Man... I'd like to think the Wings would have gotten one game against the StRangers.

 

[GreatGordie9]

What ever happened to the Jets great goaltender. Connor is getting shell shocked

I'm thinking the Panarin signing is the one we missed out on...

Yeah - for Nylander to call out Marner on the bench like that made me a fan of the guy.

Marner needs a change of heart and scenery.

Indeed…Wonder what his value will become when UFA opens?

I wouldn't mind him back on the Wings depending on the term.

Guy is fooking terrible. They need to trade him for Husso...

Yup…Finding out 1st hand that the grass isn’t greener…..

Tyler can have Fabbri's money if we find a taker for Fabbri, but he has to know his days of asking for dumb money is over.

 

[ricky0034]

easy to say in hindsight and it would have been tough with the cap plus he probably would have had to take a couple million less than he did but Bertuzzi really should have found a way for that one year deal of his to be with Boston instead, he was a good fit there

 

[JediOrderPizza]

He was hoping for that playoff performance overpay that never came, then said ok I'll take a one year deal and inflate my stats playing with Matthews. Only to not even come close to his best season while also playing 80 games.

Would we have given Rangers a harder test than Washington?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Would we have given Rangers a harder test than Washington?

I do. Lindgren was their only chance at stealing one game.

 

[ricky0034]

Would we have given Rangers a harder test than Washington?

I think it would have probably been both closer and less close at the same time

the Wings probably would have won a game, but instead of all their losses being by 1-2 goals like Washington there probably would have been a blowout loss in there too

I won't bad-mouth Nylander. Dude is a dawg and should be captain of the team. Marner, Tavares and Matthews....blech!

First round been pretty much a snore fest so far.

From the limited stuff I've seen, Dallas and Vegas has been fun to watch. Leafs are fun to watch do their annual thing in the playoffs as a Canadian.
