Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[Colorado Avalanche]

What’s wrong with Pasta?

Curious if he will play in the world championship. It's played in Prague(Czech), so maybe nicer to play home? Home sick?

 

[henchman21]

They got the "this game isn't exciting enough" call from Toronto

Holy shit how is that not a penalty after what they've called?

Yeah that was the worst penalty of all of them. Weird. I’d prefer they just not call things so I don’t mind that… but don’t call that cross check or hook. Hopefully it his levels from here on out.

What’s wrong with Pasta?

No chickpeas.

I think we see in the playoffs how much Bruins miss a guy like Bergeron. They didn’t need him in the regular season, but in the playoffs a guy like Bergeron is too valuable

Refs went from letting them play to making soft calls. Pick a lane.

You act as if they have a choice. This is the time where I remind you people can bet on who gets the next f***ing power play.

 

[Markster]

It is maybe four tones that constantly loop, maybe 0,5 second for every tone. It sounds like an alarm. I have tinnitus so I might be sensitive to strange sounds.

The direct deposit cleared, they can do what they want.

 

[TatteredTornNFrayed]

I know for playoffs it's rather normal, but watching all these playoff games where there is no score for a majority of the game, after watching the '23-24 Avs and their round 1 series is like, .

 

[HockeyFan100]

This game has been a snooze fest

 

[El Travo]

Woooooo, 3rd game in a row going into the 3rd period scoreless.

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Leafs and Bruins play at an entirely different pace… slow.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

True. This game is making Preds Vs Canucks look like a good series and that was awful.

Leafs and Bruins play at an entirely different pace… slow.

Whoever goes through will lose vs Florida. Kinda whatever game.

[Hornstar]

Every non Avs game I’ve watched makes me think the cup isn’t out of reach and the Avs are pretty special.

 

[Rosy Cheeks]

I'm not gonna lie, this sounds like a CIA sonic weapon or MK Ultra mind control device, I'd proceed carefully

Probably is a technical issue that is permanent. The only possible conspiracies are ad-related. The tones would help tune our attention to get a relief and slight wake-up when ads start, but I doubt it.

I heard new tones now in the intermission report, it is a new tone pattern, at first it sounds like a three-tone pattern, but it has a shorter higher pitched sound first. It disappers in studio, but every time you see ice or hear crowd noise it comes back immediately.

There are good teams. Carolina, Rangers and Florida. Then add Vegas/Dallas and Edmonton if they get enough power plays.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Leafs really dominated that second period, I thought the goal was coming numerous times.

 

[sethro109]

I agree, but also terrified it was because we played the Jets, and not a real contender.

I just don't see how a team like a Toronto or Boston could control the type of speed and transition we displayed in round one.

But again, I'm scared because the Jets always choke.

The other side of it is that we don’t play nearly as tight a checking game as a Boston, for example, so the Leafs forwards would get way more shooting chances and time to generate offense. There’s pros and cons.

 

[dahrougem2]

If the Avs play their game IMO no team can touch them.

The questions are can they play their game consistently, and can Georgiev make enough saves to not blow games?

True, but in a shootout like that, I'll trust our big guns over any other club. The biggest X factor of course would be Georgiev.

What makes me confident is what Hellbuck(typo yes) said after the series. He said he was totally "in the zone" and playing the best hockey of his life but couldn't save a damn thing. He said he maybe saw 50% of the shots which went in.

That's a big compliment imo. This Avalanche team is just dangerous.

Tough to shutout this Avalanche team. Too much of everything. Speed, pressure, great defense for first pass or carrying the puck, individual skill and front of the net presence. How the hell you stop team like that? You can't.

That’s what they want you to think.

 

[the_fan]

Why do all this announcers make Edmundson sound like they’re saying Edmonton?

 

[sethro109]

That’s what they want you to think.

I'm watching the ESPN feed, but this conversation has me thinking about this classic.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I can't believe it but I'm rooting for Boston. Not because I really have a dog in the fight, I think Florida is the runner up to the Avs this year. I just think that Boston presents a tougher challenge for Miami and will bruise them a bit more along the way. Similar to Vegas tuning us up on our way to Edmonton.
