Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[GeoRox89]

Well damn. Maybe it should be awarded by the three of us then?

Who is going to start the go fund me to make this idea happen? I want to see the random HF posters, who will somehow managed to vote better than 80% of the media members who don’t pay attention to anything other than the team(s) they have to cover, get the vote on the awards instead

I was going to suggest that three of us basically do a rock, paper, scissors tournament and stream it for funnies. Two of us would blurt out a dmans name, the third picks the winner. The winner then judges the other two on the next match. A dman can't be reused until the next round. Keep going until only one remains.

That’d be super popular.

People will be so mad when Jacob MacDonald wins every award.

I was aiming to name it the JMFJ award, but JMac works too.

That one guy on Reddit who has quite the collection of Jacob McDonald game worn and issued jerseys will be so happy

Who is this guy? I need to buy him a beer.

I half expect him to actually be Jacob McDonald. He has a ton more of them. There’s lots of people on that sub with amazing collections but that guy’s might be the most memorable because it’s so incredibly niche

ERod creates bunch of good scoring chances but can’t finish

 

[expatriatedtexan]

That was a really cool view of the puck in the net. You could see the led lights flickering.

Verhaeghe is Florida's Lehkonen. The dude is cluth.

 

[henchman21]

Reinhart is going to get a horrific contract, but I absolutely love the way he plays in space. Dude has insanely high IQ and knows how to manipulate and hide from coverages so well.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Florida is a joy to watch at times.

I'll be honest though, the Rangers have grown on me these playoffs. I thought Drury exited the rebuild too soon but this is a pretty damn competent team he's got right now.

 

[henchman21]

I’m not sure Lindgren has ever played a full game.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

That was a nice move by Fox to circle back out front. Heck of a tip by Laff.

The reaction of the lady behind the net was the MVP of that goal

I had to go back and watch. Which one are you talking about the lady in the Panthers jersey holding her head in her hands?

 

[Balthazar]

I don't know what to think of Laf.

He looks like when he was kicking ass in junior and at the WJC. Goals aren't pretty but he's always at the right place at the right time and his compete level is sky high.

Curious to see if it's just the playoff version of him or the new him.

 

[Murzu]

Miro is probably the best defensemen left overall in these playoffs and is a complete beast of a player. But Forsling is arguably the best defensive player in the league. Not sure anybody touches him in that area at any position.

Slavin IMO.

 

[henchman21]

Slavin IMO.

Slavin would have been my guy prior to this breakout from Forsling. The last two seasons he’s just on an absurd level to me.

Yeah… I hope he can maintain this level, but seems like a lot to ask over a full season.

As a neutral observer I'll be rattled if Florida loses this

Rags will likely run out of puck luck if they face Dallas.

 

[the_fan]

That was a clutch penalty by Wheeler

It’d be honestly insane given the dominance the Florida has had in this series. Being down 3-1 after that… yikes.

And Florida wins

 

[MacKaRant]

Blake Wheeler, eh?

 

[Avs_19]

Rangers entire run has been “save us, Igor” and so far so good.

Edit: Until that haha. Good for Florida.
