Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[Pokecheque]

Tavares is an 11M 4th liner. It starts there.

It doesn’t actually “start” there. It starts with Morgan Rielly as a presumptive #1 and trickles down through Edmundson, Lyubushkin, Benoit, and Giordano.

And let’s not get silly. He’s obviously on the decline but he’s not a 4th liner yet.

He is also the only member of the core-4 to either maintain or improve upon his regular season scoring rate come playoff time. The other three regress every single season.

And strangely he’s easily the most hated among them. Why they have such vitriol for him when Mitch Marner is launching pucks like he thinks the net is in the rafters and drifting around the ice with no purpose on the PK is befuddling to me.

Talking about the hosts and panel members, not corporate ownership. (Disney probably owns all of it...)

Its a different set and a different presentation. And level of discussion.

Heck, the actual feed is probably provided by the home team.

Dude.
if you hate it so much at least get it straight. It’s ESPN…

That’s a dick move but Petey is so soft

He's frail.

 

[GeoRox89]

He's frail.

Not usually a fan of guys bulking up and losing speed but man he is really skinny and could use more muscle

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

Look at the Canucks come together to not put up with one of their finesse players getting run over after the play.

That's a real way to send a message by starting a scrum and some fisticuffs.

It's the turning point in a series where a team comes together.

Oh wait.

 

[GeoRox89]

They’re already making excuses that Hughes is not healthy. The Canucks are leading the series…

Nice shot from Nyquist. 2-1 Preds.

Come on you ugly yellow bastards, don't screw this up!

 

[GeoRox89]

Man both these teams are bad but go Preds

 

[MonsterMack]

I'll never understand not wearing ear guards

edit: Probably end up grandfathered in like the visors

 

[Avs_19]

Come on, Canucks! I want to see Oilers vs. Canucks. It'll likely be one-sided, especially if Demko really is done for the season, but give me a nice little western Canadian match up. Get the Preds out of here.

You want Nashville playing Edmonton in the 2nd round? I think Nashville is the second worst team in these playoffs ahead of only Washington.

I feel like Vancouver would put up more of a fight against Edmonton.

Not without Demko. At least Preds have Saros. Also Pettersson is a no show for the Nucks so far

I can’t stand Vancouver, I just want them out.

This Canucks team with Petey a no show, the excuses coming that Hughes is hurt and them on a 3rd string goalie? Doubt it

Have you watched Oilers games against the Predators, especially in Nashville?

Since 2020 the Oilers are 10-1-1 vs Nashville having outscored them 55-29.

That series would be a massacre.

Then we take out Edmonton in the Western Conference Final.

Big deal.

If Nucks do survive this series, they’ll get murdered vs Oilers without Demko and if EP is still a no show.

 

[dahrougem2]

Then we take out Edmonton in the Western Conference Final.

Big deal.

Oh no doubt, but I want the Oilers to play as many games as possible. I want all of our opponents to, in fact. It's why I hope Vegas/Dallas goes 7, Edmonton/LA goes 7, and hopefully Edmonton/2nd round opponent goes 6/7.

I think both Nashville and Nucks whoever faces the Oilers will lose, I just think Preds might put up a better fight with Saros in net. It won’t matter though. Neither one of this teams will beat the Oilers so…

 

[Cypher]

Nashville and Vancouver is just terrible hockey. Oilers are going to walk whoever doesn't screw up the most in this series.
