Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[AvsWraith]

Watching Vegas makes me think we should've tried harder to get Guentzel.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Hanifin - Pietrangelo
McNabb - Theodore
Martinez - Whitecloud

6’3” 207 - 6’4” 215
6’4” 215 - 6’2” 201
6’1” 210 - 6’2” 218

Yeah, good luck with that forecheck when they can all pass the puck, too.

 

[the_fan]

I can hate both

True

 

[dahrougem2]

Hanifin - Pietrangelo
McNabb - Theodore
Martinez - Whitecloud

6’3” 207 - 6’4” 215
6’4” 215 - 6’2” 201
6’1” 210 - 6’2” 218

You gotta attack Hanifin. Size for nothing.

Highman killed Danault

Moves the puck REALLY well and can skate. Also plays next to a defensive beast in Pie.

Highman killed Danault

Beautiful hit.

I say Goaltending more than Guentzel.


I think our roster would go toe to toe with Vegas even without Guentzel(Be nice to have Drouin back though)... I'm not sure our goaltending would hold up.


I dunno what goalies were actually available at the deadline but if Saros or Ullmark were available like hinted at, Avs needed to get that deal done.

Gawd, ESPN has become so unwatchable. In addition to the subpar NHL presentation, Sportcenter immediately following decides to take like a third of the screen to post detailed bios of NFL prospects and a countdown to the draft ticker all while they’re talking about both hockey and basketball playoffs. If anyone was that interested in these NCAA players they could easily look up way more info easier online.

ESPN and hockey just don’t go together

 

[The Kingslayer]

Turns out Jack Eichel is built for playoffs. That pass he made tonight was sheesh

 

[Pokecheque]

They used to when they actually cared.

Kings are terrible.

Subban’s so bad on TV. I actually thought he’d be decent but he’s been a total miss. I don’t think he watches a single game unless he’s on air, and even then his takes are terrible

 

[sethro109]

Do the Kings know there's no loser points in the playoffs?

Haven't watched anything on that network, outside of live games, for nearly 17 years. Don't miss anything.

Pisses me off that the NFL has gotten in bed with them again, and NFLN is essentially now just an extention of ESPN's NFL coverage.

 

[Balthazar]

I find it hilarious that Dallas won the West and got Vegas in round 1

Yep. He's awful.

I find it hilarious that Dallas won the West and got Vegas in round 1

Wish it was Edmonton vs. Vegas. Oilers v. Kings the 3rd year in a row is so meh.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Prediction on Oilers/Kings OT?

I’ll go Hyman with the winner, although I’d love to see LA win.

Yeah, I can't imagine LA winning this game. Oilers are controlling the pace. If LA wants to win, they needs to strike when Ceci and Nurse are on the ice.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

That's what I've been saying! I think this could be the worst generation of goalers I've ever seen in my entire life. I did not watch any '70s or '80s hockey though so it might honestly be worse then, but I can't compare...

Today's equipment is multiple generations better. Today's coaching, training, technique and style are superior. Today's goalies are bullet proof compared to the 70's especially...

 

[Freaky Styley]

Moreso because their route to the final is super easy. If we get there we will have to go through Winnipeg, Vegas and Edmonton - arguably the hardest route you can take.

I hope the series goes 7 but honestly eff Dallas. Love watching them fail. They are frauds - good team but not a true contender like everyone always mislabels every season.

Subban is a clown. Entertainment. A dancing bear.

Kiviranta with a winner

 

[Freudian]

I'm going with Byfield for the OT winner.

 

[the_fan]

I’m gonna say Andreas Englund with a OT winner

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Kopitar!!!
