I'll be at Stars/Avalanche later.

Ticket purchased. Drinks will be drank

Edmonton officially clinched last night; four-game West Coast road trip coming up. The West is still a mess so it's going to be an entertaining last two weeks.

 

[goblue96]

BUMS officially clinched watching the playoffs on TV!

 

[Irishman]

I managed to snap this pic just as the puck crossed into the goal:

 

[silverwheels]

The Kings make hockey so boring. It's like watching the 90s Devils.

 

[Irishman]

Lol

 

[silverwheels]

Still, this is probably better for my blood pressure than a 6-5 game.

Getting WILD in two hours @adchester

do they let you bring in outside broccoli snax

 

[Brick]

i have been watching nhl lately. it is FUN but goddam the ads are really fucking distracting.

 

[silverwheels]

Yeah I'm more used to them than I was at first but they're still annoying AF

 

[CJ_24]

There was so much Minnesota in that building

 

[silverwheels]

Fuck both teams but mostly the Leaves

 

[CJ_24]

 

[Irishman]

Byrum argues every call, lol.

 

[silverwheels]

What a snipe by Bouch

 

[kella]

Dean's still in tip top shape. This would be a quick fight lol

 

[silverwheels]

No PISSBURGH in the playoffs this year. Feels weird.

 

[Irishman]

BUMS

 

[silverwheels]

Wonder if Toews retires. He doesn't have anything else to prove and long COVID has really messed him up.

 

[Irishman]

I am sure he would like to play, but at what level. He's just not the same.

 

[silverwheels]

No PISSBURGH in the playoffs this year. Feels weird.

...and they fired their Prez, GM, and AGM for it.

 

[Irishman]

Hex getting a bit of a raw deal. Like he had any choice about the contacts for 87, 71, and 58. How do you shape the team around them with those contacts? Oh well, not my problem.

 

[silverwheels]

Gonna give it my best guess. I'll consider it a win if I get two correct.


Boston vs. Florida - Bruins in 4
Toronto vs. Tampa Bay - Leafs in 7

Carolina vs. Islanders - Canes in 6
New Jersey vs. Rangers - Rangers in 6

Colorado vs. Seattle - Avs in 5
Dallas vs. Minnesota - Stars in 6

Vegas vs. Winnipeg - Knights in 7
Edmonton vs. Los Angeles - Oilers in 7

 

[silverwheels]

It's time

 

[Rutgers Mike]

He can be a third line Center/ PK guy IMO. Good fit in NJ

I mostly mean that it's obvious he's affected by his illnesses/long covid, so it's mostly a matter of reliability for whomever signs him.

Maybe. But a lot of other guys who can’t stay healthy. He’d be the Flyers best C as of today.

 

[silverwheels]

Treliving out in Calgary. He was kind of handcuffed last off-season but Huberdeau was a huge bust.

 

[goblue96]

Has Torts been fired yet?

 

[Irishman]

Maybe. But a lot of other guys who can’t stay healthy. He’d be the Flyers best C as of today.

Ummmmm...

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Ummmmm...

I don’t really know what I was trying to say either. Just that he’s good enough to be a contributor if he wants to take the pay cut

 

[silverwheels]

LOL fuck the Kings

 

[goblue96]

Former Flyer goalies are the starter and backup for the Panthers. Bruins in 4.

Oh, the Flames let Sutter call the shots. I'm sure their next GM will love that.

 

[BearDownUofA]

The fact that we continue to have dinosaurs like Sutter coaching in this league is pathetic. His coaching style has such a short shelf life.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Maybe the Flyers can fire Treliving.

 

[CJ_24]

Feels wrong to me there are hockey teams below the Mason-Dixon line

 

[silverwheels]

Trying to mentally prepare myself for another Boston city championship.

 

[Irishman]

Sorry, Caps.

 

[silverwheels]

Probably as good a first period as Edmonton could have asked for, except they could/should have had at least one more.

 

[silverwheels]

Dumba is trash

 

[Irishman]

That Dumba hit was way late. Fuck that guy.

 

[CJ_24]

Jesus, this shit is intense

 

[Irishman]

Wow. Pucker.

 

[silverwheels]

Classic Edmonton. Kings in 6
