GDT: Third Round of the 2025 Playoffs

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

He's smart enough to know that by making it about the players he's making it about himself.

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Mo did that last round too, although I have no idea if he’s done it prior to that. I feel like I can definitely remember him in handshake lines before and this is a new thing for him.

Personally I think he’s wrong and all of the coaches should be lined up as well.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Trying to be the alpha male, I'd tell him to go f*** himself and join the line.

Seth Jones is in the finals.

Stan Bowman will be in the finals.

Jed Hoyer rebuilt the Cubs in two years after "tearing it down to the studs, bro" while trading for currently the best player in the NL and not needing a top three pick.

It took Ryan Poles three years to rebuild the Bears into what looks like a playoff team.

Meanwhile Kyle Davidson is hard at work on a ten year rebuild.

Jones is a passenger.

Bowman is being carried.

Praise for Jed is legit.

Let's hold our horses on the Bears praise, given they have an offseason champions dynasty and nothing to show for it yet.

Jones is definitely not a passenger for Florida, he’s been downright great for them. Leads the team in TOI as well.

Jones has been great for FL in the playoffs

 

[Hawkaholic]

Helps when you actually put effort into the game. f*** Jones.

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Multiple times he’s put his head down and skated as hard as he possibly could. I can’t recall if him doing that a single time in Chicago.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Shogun has a point, though yes, technically Jones isn't a "passenger".

Jones is, however, being carried by the team that surrounds him. We've seen enough of Seth Jones on mediocre to bad squads.

He forced his way onto Florida's roster and we all know why. We don't have to be super precise when criticizing Seth Jones. Everyone here knows who he is and what his flaws are. He just forced his way onto a roster that can hide and mitigate those flaws.

Still happy he's gone. Just disappointed that he's getting everything he's wanted after acting the way he did here.

Maybe that one game after he was booed off the ice?

 

[PCAisBest]

Jones is a passenger.

Idk about that

Bowman is being carried.

Like he wasnt carried here?

Praise for Jed is legit.

Agreed.

I like their chances with this HC...

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Maybe that one game after he was booed off the ice?

Maybe, but still sad it lasted one game. He was back to his lazy DGAF ways by game 2 after the booing.

 

[x Tame Impala]

What a toolbag. Get your ass lined up, it costs you nothing.

 

[emeyezee]

Perry as a Blackhawk - scumbag, creep who should be kicked off the team (rightfully so)

Perry on a Canadian team - great veteran presence who brings so much to the team and locker room


…according to the media. All is forgiven for Perry because he’s a big part of a Canadian team’s success

 

[BobbyJet]

Ouch 3-0

 

[deytookerjaabs]

"Oh, you have to do so something to get your team going, you either take a time out or change your goalie. I like the decision." As Edmonton pots an easy one, lol.

3-0 is honestly a good spot to be in against the Oilers though, we'll see if they have any ability to crack down.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Dallas seems heartless.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Dallas seems heartless.

Not far off from the Canes of the West. They’ve had a pretty good team the last half dozen years but they’ve never looked like a Cup contender to me

 

[BobbyJet]

Skinner comes in and scores. This Oilers team has depth - best in quite a while.

 

[deytookerjaabs]

Already 3-1, this is gonna be a game.

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Was Bourque injured or scratched? I forgot he even existed but people were talking about giving him an offer sheet.

Dreadful penalty that really couldn’t have come at a worse time to start the game.

 

[BobbyJet]

I would have bet money that DeBoer would go back to Oettinger to start period 2.

Shit happens. I know the player needs to control his stick but it was a flukey play.

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

When you’re down 3-1 in a series you just can’t be that careless. Especially since it’s the first game he’s played all series.

 

[Deputy McRizzy]

Alright that was a great shift for Bourque.
