the NHL Thread

[Rutgers Mike]

The entire game

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Keefe has to be gone. Marner is great in the regular season but disappears in the playoffs. Shanahan might get the ax, too. Clearly this version of Toronto can't get it done.

Does Marner really disappear in the playoffs? 50 points in 57 career playoff games. I feel like the big issue comes back to signing Tavares to be something they didn’t need and killing their ability to create depth. Plus Tavares not being at that level anymore doesn’t help. 24 points in 38 playoff games as a LEAVE. No ones touching that contract though

 

[Irishman]

Trade them both to Utah.

 

[Irishman]

They let Hyman go to Edmonton and kept a bunch of dead weight.

[Irishman]

The thing about that play is there's no way you can lose track of Pasternak there. He's the best scorer on the team ffs.

 

[silverwheels]

Toronto played like they wanted to win all game until they actually had the lead lol

 

[goblue96]

Someone tried to tell me that it was routine dump-in by Boston. No. That's a set play using the active boards at the Garden.

CHEATERS

 

[goblue96]

Home ice advantage.

 

[silverwheels]

Give me Canes in 6, Panthers in 5, Canucks in 7, Avs over Vegas in 5 or Dallas in 6.

Their old GM was a dumbass and their current one is too.

I hope not. Well at least with the west.

Canes in 7, Cats in 6, EdBUMton in 5, Vegas in 6

 

[silverwheels]

Carolina's one real weakness is rearing its head in this one. But if Georgiev can get better for Colorado then Andersen can too.

 

[Irishman]

Carolina is trying to pass it into the net, as Edzo might say.

 

[silverwheels]

Wyatt Johnston is so good already. Oilers picked some BUM like two picks before he went to the Stars because of course.

 

[CJ_24]

Of course a dude named Wyatt is succeeding in Texas

 

[CJ_24]

I feel like hockey is still niche enough that the commentators provide substantive comments instead of hot takes and the crowds are filled with people who actually give a shit.

 

[Irishman]

Bros, I know this game just ended, but boob girl is back in Dallas.

Bump. I'm not sure if it's the same girl, but she's behind Bruce Cassidy.

 

[CJ_24]

Dallas's crowd is GOOD. Lovin' dis atmosphere

 

[CJ_24]

Prayin' to baby Jesus on an eagle that we get overtime

 

[silverwheels]

Dallas defense a little leaky against the rush. Need them to shore it up and get another one. Vegas fuckheads can't be allowed to advance.

 

[Irishman]

And yeah, it's definitely boob girl.

 

[silverwheels]

LOL get fucked, Vegas!

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Dallas, Fuck yeah!

 

[silverwheels]

 

[silverwheels]

LMAO the NHL is such a clown league. Way to fuck over Dallas. Thunder-Mavs starts at the same time, too. Bettman is a piss baby.

 

[Irishman]

Why? Those look like western conference start times.

Edit: but yes, Bettman sucks.

 

[goblue96]

Get fucked, assholes.

 

[Irishman]

They aren't shifting NYR/Car to a late slot and they aren't making them play tomorrow. They don't deserve two days off after going seven.

 

[silverwheels]

Fair points. Still makes no sense for that series to start before the other one.

 

[Irishman]

Probably has to do with building availability/logistics. Do the Mavs share a facility? I can't remember. Colorado has the Nuggets to coordinate with. I'm not sure Edmonton or Vancouver have those complicated situations.

Anyway, as long as boob girl is behind the bench, all is well in the world.

They do share a building, and it’s booked Wednesday for a concert. Mavs have home games Saturday and Monday, plus a concert Is booked for Saturday night.

 

[Irishman]

These multipurpose facilities have such shitty ice during the playoffs too. Woof.

 

[goblue96]

They should play the entire Stanley Cup playoff in Ottawa. No hope of the Senators making the playoffs any time soon.

 

[Irishman]

Bell Centre holds more.

 

[silverwheels]

Why not Quebec since Bettman won't bring back the Nordiques

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Why not Quebec since Bettman won't bring back the Nordiques

Why not Hamilton because fuck the guy from Blackberry

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Bowness said he had enough and tapped out

 

[CJ_24]

Bowness said he had enough and tapped out

 

[silverwheels]

Swayman and BOB have both made some sick saves already

 

[goblue96]

Can we launch Leah HEXTALL into the sun?

 

[CJ_24]

Sloppy play from the Cats the last few minutes

 

[goblue96]

Playoff BOB enters the chat.

 

[CJ_24]

Embarrassing

 

[silverwheels]

I wasn't sure if Boston would see ghosts or be pissed off about last year. Guess they're pissed. They also aren't as mentally SOFT as, say, Toronto.

 

[CJ_24]

These teams do NOT like each other and I am totally here for it

 

[Irishman]

Boston sniping tonight.
