Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I'm sorry but Frankie has to go into my top three for that run. He swept Edmonton.

They were right there with us, though.

Proof that the main playoff issue was the gameplan.

The team had a week off before the series and looked dead tired. It's not because Mack played too much in the regular season.

I don't know if Nate playing too much was the main problem, but conversely to your point, I didn't see any evidence to suggest the Avs or Stars/Jets gameplan, was what made Nate look disinterested in hockey in the playoffs.

There was something else impacting him mentally. He didn't have his usually motivation to play like a bull.

The power/speed element of his game was missing and that was all on him. He's got the separation speed to give himself time and space against any gameplan. He just didn't use it.

Refs the deciding factor if memory serves.

Refs the deciding factor if memory serves.

That plus "Bettiman"'s anti-Canadian bias was just too insurmountable

Florida Panthers D-man Aaron Ekblad must have been waiting all year for this moment.

Florida people and live television and alcohol, what could go wrong?

 

[myperbixhurts]

Why is Ekblad upset? Did he even play in the finals? I didn’t notice him at all out there. He is a traffic cone or he’s injured. That’s why Florida is trying to get rid of the guy

Koepka called him a pylon on their broadcast lol

Yeah and he’s not wrong

 

[dahrougem2]

Sure. And Ekblad has the right to cuss him out after winning.

 

[myperbixhurts]

Yeah but it doesn’t make him less of a traffic cone just because he was bailed out by guys like Forsling on that blueline and his name is now on the cup.

Ekblad played well for them these playoffs.

 

[S E P H]

Ekblad played well for them these playoffs.

Nah, he was hit or miss. He was brilliant for Game 7 for example, but looked AHL quality in games 4 through 6. He had those same ups and downs in every other series besides the one against Tampa.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, but he's him.
