Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

One of the best things Bowen Byram ever did was convince the team to keep him on the roster with his play so that they had to dump Cole on the Wylde for Greg Pateryn.
Cole had like, one reasonably good year for the Avs, then he got double hip surgery and he’s sucked ever since.

He shat where he ate in Carolina. Imagine if MacDermid was boning Keefer. It would be a distraction and the Avs would have no choice but to trade his... HEY!!

Ian Cole had an apparent affair with a reporter for the Canes.

No no, that part is all good.
What the f*** was that about MacDermid and Keefer?

Love me some Calvin Pickard.
I hope McDavid and Drai get season ending injuries and Calvin carries the Oilers to a cup without them.

It was an admittedly weak-ass attempt at using surrealist iconoclastic humor to explain that even dating a coworker much less having an affair with one is worse than an own goal and should be a complete taboo. There is absolutely nothing good to come from it.

You had me excited I thought he may have scored. But yes Quinn and Z > Cale

He looks so dominant with the puck in the offensive zone.
I just can't believe Cale Makar looks the way he does IF he's not hurt. He has to be hurt. Otherwise this would be the fastest regression in the history of a superstar IMO.

Yah something is off with Cale and I have to think its an injury. The offense is there but defensively its like he swapped brains with Ian Cole
Thats like RNH first 5 v 5 goal since February or something haha

He definitely looks invisible.
That said, he's playing with a 3rd liner on his LW and a 4th liner on his RW. I don't know how much offensive success we can realistically expect when he's got the bare scraps for wingers.

Canucks playing 4d chess, get shutout by Pickard so they roll with him the rest of the series and blow him up next 2 games to win

This version of Leon is what I was expecting from Mikko. Alas, Mikko is much much lazier than Leon ever can be.

I know we talk about the fall of Makar, but...he did tie his record for games played this season with 77 and also set a new personal record for points.
I think what has been most disappointing for me this season is how much more Cale appeared to be too willing to not be the main character. However, I just took a little brief look at the numbers and came up with this....

His shooting percentage has dropped from 11.7% to 9.1%. The eye test this season led me to believe I would see a larger discrepancy in these numbers. Am I mis-remember 2021-22 and guilty of building a legend of Makar that is actually larger than what he actually did?

Makars defensive game this season was and still is abysmal. Thats the thing I dont get. His offensive numbers are great but defensively this season he just seems lost and confused. I was never Gustav Forsling good defensively but he was still better than average there. This season hes looked like Andre Benoit defensively alot of times.
