GDT: 2018 Playoffs

[Avder]

I gotta admit there is a lot of satisfaction in seeing the dirty ducks get pounded for 8, especially with all the dirty shit they keep trying.

At least the Sharks made them pay on the scoreboard: 4PPG to end the game.

I tuned in after the conclusion of one game last night, and the first thing I saw was Perry take a run at a guy.

Hope they never win with the core of dirty players on their team.

Damnit!!! I'm jealous!! The Wild need to step it up. They rarely even put the opponent logo or what game it is on them. Not even a date, just the year.

Am i the only one who feels sorry for the little Ducks getting eaten by the sharks?

If the Ducks come back and make it to G7 they need to have a towel with that damned laughing dog.

Considering the amount of those Ducks I shot when I was a kid on my NES? Yeah, you're probably alone.

If the Ducks come back and make it to G7 they need to have a towel with that damned laughing dog.

That would be EPIC!

Caps-Jackets in OT for the third time in 3 games. Crazy.

 

[Wild11MN]

Vanek plays for Columbus? Didn't even realize that. I forgot where he was traded at the deadline.

 

[Wild11MN]

Caps win in 2OT!

 

[tomgilbertfan]

And the next towels for the Sharks

 

[StealthClobber]

VGK with the sweep. First series win in their first try, is a sweep. Amazing.

 

[Wabit]

Both goalies in the LA/Vegas series were amazing.

With the roster depth they were given, is it really amazing?

 

[W75]

Both goalies in the LA/Vegas series were amazing.

Must be a numb feeling after that kind of series. I mean Quick did all he could and still got swept.

Vegas Cinderella story is still going strong. Quite amazing.

Who thought they had a deep roster at the beginning of the year?

Everyone was saying the day the rules were announced that they were being gifted a playoff team.

I remember a main board poll thread asking if the Oilers or Vegas would make the playoffs first before the expansion draft happened, it was still a season away at the time, and Vegas actually led that poll.

They have an entire roster of 2nd and 3rd liners. Not many true scrubs. Like I said, that depth doesn't make it all that surprising.

That was probably saying more about the ineptness of the Oilers. Vegas had the worst playoff odds and worst Stanley Cup odds of any team coming into the season. Even though they're from Vegas!

Vegas odds exist to create action... to het the action desired, they go by what people are willing to put money on and adjust accordingly.

To the avg uneducated fan placing bets, they hear the term expansion and decide no chance without reading further.

Basically no one thought they would be any good.

 

[FVM]

Yeah Vegas is truly an amazing story. Really didn't see this happening.

 

[FVM]

Shade!

Morrissey, Jets get away with one

 

[HollaHaula]

Lol Vegas was not gifted a playoff team. Good god, people who think that are just short-sighted and salty.

Here's the list of centers they got:
Karlsson - 3rd line C with CBJ. Career high of 9 goals.
Haula
Eakin - 3rd line C with Dallas. (I viewed him as their best C at the start of the season. Oops.)
Bellemare - 4th line C with Flyers.

There defense has been rock solid but no one expected that at the start of the year with Schmidt being their #1D. Fleury is the only real superstar on that team.
