Around the League 2016-2017 Part II

[Paul4587]

Minnesota waited until they were down 2-0 to the Blues until they showed up for this game.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Toews had a perfect season to validate his top 100 of all time inclusion.

Minnesota waited until they were down 2-0 to the Blues until they showed up for this game.

Blues are pretty solid in their own end.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Minnesota waited until they were down 2-0 to the Blues until they showed up for this game.

That's what always happens to BB teams in elimination games

 

[Frosted Tips]

Damn. Staal went head first against the board with a force.

[Paul4587]

I don't think Yeo's system wins them another round. Assuming they win this series.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

For the 2nd time in a game Wild very quickly nullify their own PP by taking a penalty. Hilarious.

This doesn't disprove what I said.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

This doesn't disprove what I said.

Did I claim it does? It paints a different picture though.

 

[Paul4587]

Coyle just owning Sobotka.

 

[Sojourn]

Boudreau's playoffs end early this year.

 

[KelVarnsen]

BB loses again in the playoffs.

Great regular season coach but apparently has no clue what to do in the playoffs.

 

[Mr Rogers]

Did I claim it does? It paints a different picture though.

Not really. Bruce is unbelievably bad in such games. All it shows is that he hasn't done anything to reverse that trend in Minnesota.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

Coyle just owning Sobotka.

And then Sobotka owns Hanzal for the series winner.

 

[duari91]

That Wild series was BB through and through

There is enough of a sample size through his career to say for sure that he is a poor playoff coach.

 

[Paul4587]

And then Sobotka owns Hanzal for the series winner.

Yeah Hanzal really didn't play that well. That was poor defensive work.

 

[Opak]

Chicago and Minnesota both went out early? How will NBCSN ever cope with this...?

 

[Ducks DVM]

Chicago and Minnesota both went out early? How will NBCSN ever cope with this...?

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

With the Wild and Hawks out, we're guaranteed home ice for the first three rounds, assuming we last that long.

We won't even make it to the second round probably

 

[goosemooseduck]

Oilers up 2:0. Looks that's what Ducks get to play with in 2nd round

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Ducks are going to have their hands full with Oilers. Not as easy as some think.

 

[bumperkisser]

Ducks are going to have their hands full with Oilers. Not as easy as some think.

especially if we let them have breakaways.. gibby is gonna be lit the **** up

 

[kducks]

Chicago and Minnesota both went out early? How will NBCSN ever cope with this...?

They still have the Penguins.

Kind of satisfying to see a BB team go out early.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Somebody tell me again how Talbot is too over used to be any good in the playoffs. Gibson needs to bring his A game and the Kesler line really needs to shut down the McJesus line.

It's going to be a very tough series.
