GDT: 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs (General Talk)

That check to the head was more blatant than Kadri. Only a 2 min minor and won't lead to a suspension most likely.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Kadri would be banned for life. Yikes

 

[Garavar]

In Mikko voice: Come on Tampa we got to go now!

 

[nammerus]

Man, to think we were comparing ourselves to Tampa a week ago. What a big mis-read.

Avs would probably have a better chance stylistically against Tampa than Vegas.

Stylistically, yeah… but Tampa is just so much deeper and better. The Avs from this series would get rolled. Need Kadri back and playing at high highest level to have a chance

And if all the depth momentarily fails, the have motherf#&*ing Vasi to clear everything up.

Goodbye to the Jerks. I hope the TB Twitter account trolls the shit out of theirs.

 

[Alex Jones]

Tampa is a machine, idgaf who they face they are going win

 

[CharlesPuck]

How are the Wales and Campbell trophies working this year?!

Did the mayor of Toronto lose a bet?

Yes

Anyone who thought we actually compared to Tampa was off their meds.

Avs are on the cusp of yet another postseason disappointment but man, IMO Carolina had a shockingly bad playoff showing. Struggled like hell against a thoroughly mediocre Nashville team, and then their vaunted special teams completely implode against the mighty Bolts. That was the team with the third best record in the league. Sure didn’t look like it. Horribly disappointing showing from Hamilton, Aho, Svechnikov, and both goalies. Slavin was about the only guy I’d say showed up and played like mad every game.

Not sure what they do next but something still seems off there. Probably not an overhaul or anything needed but they could do well with a goalie upgrade and/or find a big winger to maybe complement their skilled playmakers.

Maybe we can convince them to trade playoff disappoint Aho for special teams savant, Ryan Graves

They probably have an adult running theirs.

Remaining order of preference:

Islanders
Montreal
Boston

Tampa

The cup falling into a bottomless pit

 

[Avs_19]

Clown.

 

[CharlesPuck]

No, Mark, your own actions shut you down. You don't get to make runs at people and then go skate in the next game.

 

[henchman21]

The DoPS has brought that on themselves with massive inconsistency. I'd fully support Kadri having the same statement. Not that either suspension isn't warranted... but Staal, Reaves, and Wilson basically get nothing or a small suspension... yet Kadri and Scheifele have series altering suspensions. It has to be incredibly frustrating.

I'd prefer Tampa winning it, just because the more cup wins and success they have, the harder it will be to keep their core together. Would also be a higher chance players like Cirelli, Sergachev, and Point decide to chase the money since they already have their cups.

I would like to see Semyon Varlamov win a cup

 

[Chiarelli]

Ya after Avs game 4 I put money on Tampa at +400 to win the cup sorry fellas.

He's not wrong. 4 games for a first time offender in what would equate to a 12 game regular season suspension has absolutely no merit but because it was less than 5, he also couldn't appeal it.

I don't blame Scheifele for calling out DoPS like this and I wish he went even further.
