Series Talk: SCFs Discussion - 2024 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

I hate that I have to double check the dates on every tweet now lmao

Or just don't leave. Send the Checkers to Edmonton

I have mixed feelings on the Barkov news. On one hand, it sounds like they skirted concussion protocol by having Barkov evaluated but not diagnosed. On the other hand, I don't believe in protecting grown men from themselves.

Hopefully, he's fine and won't be putting himself at further risk.

I'm not sure that's how it works. They put a lot in place to make sure teams can't skirt the protocol. The fact that he's skating already AND in a regular contact jersey tells me he's 100% symptom free and has been for at least 24 hours. It's not only Barkov's word either - they do 3rd party neurocognitive testing and physical exam (balance/ coordination drills etc.) to make sure.

TL;DR: This is great f***ing news. He's playing game 3.

Nice to see the Cap practicing. Edmonton, strap your f***ing pampers.

IF we win the whole thing, my 2024 Cup jersey customization will be Rodrigues and in the same order I'll send a blank i have from 2010 to do as a Kulikov because i'll live the rest of my life worshiping these legends.

Work is not done yet tho, still believe us in 5, im dying on that hill.

Not to be an annoying prick, but they also have third party doctors watching the Golden Knights when Mark Stone is on his annual LTIR to suddenly cleared for game 1 of the playoffs medical journey. An unfortunate reality of the medical profession is that there are a lot of incompetent doctors, impressionable doctors, and unethical doctors.

But, for the sake of argument, I will assume that he woke up completely fine yesterday morning.

I hear ya. The difference to me is that Stone can say he's in too much pain to play and that's completely subjective. Dr has no choice and no incentive not to take his word for it. It's much easier to say someones unable to play/ put them on LTIR than to clear them to return from concussion symptoms. A lot more on the line

Huberdeau would have been like "hmm 4 hour delay huh? Who wants to go get some titties in face before takeoff?"

I can never hate Huberdeau. His strip club adventure transformed this franchise. I do feel bad for Flames fans, though. Calgarians are good people, they don't deserve to witness that boat anchor contract.

why’s that

 

[Ghoste]

Lombo is probably injured. I like Lorentz but I think Lombo should have gotten in more than he has so far so I’m guessing he’s not 100%. I get Paul doesn’t like to tinker lines after wins but still.

 

[Gentle Man]

Ekblad is at Jaxson's ice cream until the flight takes off

 

[violaswallet]

Like many predicted Lundell has been the MVP outside of Bob

I mean of course what else could you expect

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Good news

Lundell has been really good, but through 14 wins, my top 3:

1. Barkov
2. Forsling
3. Bob

Lundell and Bennett definitely my 4 and 5. This team's center depth has been a huge asset.

What I will say: our third line has been the difference this playoffs especially in the key pivot games.

Sounds promising

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

Oh hell yeah Barkov isn't dead!!!

If Barky could just up his game to Lundell level, we’d be in good shape!

Lundell and Luostarinen just flat out being better than every other team's third line has been a huge, huge asset for the Panthers, that is true. I'd add Stenlund and Kulikov as key guys who are down at the bottom of the depth chart and have been able to step in and somehow handle opposing teams' stars in big road games.

But to me, Barkov getting the toughest assignments and still leading the team in points is all that has to be said.

Vendetta should be unbanned just to eat crow.

I think some of this could be mind games. I would not be surprised to see him miss game 3. Fingers crossed.

School's out, finally unemployed so I can stay up late and watch the game live.

V is probably making content for the Oilers now, they would love a good local boy, with his kind of takes.

Let’s not get crazy with the Vendetta thing.

 

[TotalHomer]

Expecting a ton of penalties against us in Edmonton. PK needs to hold strong.
