Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[GeoRox89]

Interesting, they aren't going back to Ullmark




That's a penalty? LOL.

f*** off, Ref

No sweep in Tampa

That’s the right choice. Swayman has had the Leafs number all year. They can always consider the rotation again in future series if they win this one. Go with the guy who gives them the best chance to win this one

 

[sethro109]

Hopefully Ullmark gets pissed and demands a trade to the Avs @50%.

 

[dahrougem2]

Glad the Battle of Florida at least goes 5. Those two teams hate each other too much for this to end early.

If Tampa can find a way in Sunrise... could get interesting.

Ullmark should be traded. That two goalie rotation in the playoffs is stupid. It disrupts the flow of the team even if both goalies are good. Swayman starts, plays really good, they win then they go with Ullmark the next game, they lose, then back to Swayman. Such a dumb move by Boston. They’re pretty much digging their own grave with that

 

[Avsfan1921]

HNIC has been slipping for many years imo, but they did bob cole proud tonight. Great tribute.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Biz homering for Toronto is nauseating

Refs will call multiple penalties on Marchand tonight.

I saw my Finnish Liiga team win the 2010 championship playing one goalie at home, the other away during the playoffs. No exceptions. One of the better records to win the Finnish championship as well.

It goes against conventional wisdom, but I'm not totally against the idea. It's an oddball for sure.

It might work in other leagues, but NHL playoffs is just something else. I can understand doing the goalie rotation in the regular season, but they should stick to one goalie in the playoffs until that one goalie lays an egg then go to the other one

Oh please, it's the same in every league. Splitting goalies in the playoffs is not usually done and for a reason. The NHL is no different from the other leagues in this.

Like I said, it goes against conventional wisdom and has never been done in Finland after that either. I'm just saying, there is a possibility of it working. Not a great likelihood, but still.

I wouldn't do it if I was Boston, and seems like they agree with Swayman in the net tonight.

I don’t really follow other leagues so I don’t know. All I know is that it’s not working in the NHL playoffs. Goalie rotation that is

 

[Balthazar]

If the Leafs lose in round 1 I think Shanny is gone.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Spectacular turnover by the big ogre leading to the 1st goal. Atta boy, Weeves.

I don't understand why Keefe continues to give him shifts. Such a detriment to the team.

[dahrougem2]

Anemic Leafs PP is the reason they are down and will lose this series. 1-13 though 4 games.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Wow! I just realized Sorokin is turning 29 this summer. I thought he was around 25.

 

[mack74]

Being a Leafs fan would be hell on earth. Has there ever been another scenario in NHL history where one team is another’s kryptonite in the playoffs to this level? If Boston wins this series, they’ll have won the last 7 meetings against the Leafs in the playoffs since Toronto last won the cup, craziness.

 

[Metallo]

He’s going to end someone’s career at some point.

I hope you are wrong but it appears possible.

Marner is useless. Compound that with Nylander absence and Samsonov not being close to the Bruins tandem, it makes the Bruins life quite easy.

This would be the 4th playoff loss to the Bruins since 2013.

TOR-BOS is sooo boring after watching the Avs.

 

[GeoRox89]

Pasta with the backbreaker

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Leaves are toast

 

[wayninja]

At least the leafs have the best goal scorer in the world tho

Dude is turning 29, was benched for the playoffs and is starting a brand new 8.25M X 8 contract next year.

Nylander is playing

 

[Balthazar]

That's unfortunate

Nylander is playing

He's been absent for 3 games and he is rusty.
