GDT: Around The League: 2024 Playoffs Edition Round 2- “Oh, You Didn’t Know? You’re Ass Better Call SOMEBODY!!!!!”

[Porkleaker]

Thats a shorter list than most around here I bet.

And how is it missing Bettman?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Stars so deep they scaring me a bit. Of course we gotta make it out of our series first but still seeing them in the wcf is a scary proposition.

As everyone has stated time and again…Oilers or Nucks don’t win that series

 

[CupofOil]

People I’m angry at tonight:

Tyler Wright
Stuart Skinner
Dustin Schwartz
Ken Holland
Warren Foegele
Ross Atkins

How about Casper Nuge? Ghosting his way through another playoffs.

Surprisingly I’m pretty calm night now. Confident that this adversity will make us stronger.

Damn it.

That’s Tyler Wrong for you

We probably had the best insider info on him out of any team with his mentor Coffey begging us to take him. Surprised Katz didn't step in to overrule.

This org really can't do anything right. Zero reason to think Wright had a reliable book on prospects. Holland's 5 years might end up the driest from the draft in our teams history. Amazing from a GM whose entire claim to fame was miracle draft picks of HHoF players and over-ripened prospects turning into stars.

$25,000,000

Wright canned entire OHL scouting staff too IIRC. Literally no one keeping tabs out East

But somehow idiot thought XB from the Q of all places was a smart pick

I was more upset after game 1 than I am after last game.

 

[BlackDogg]

Yah that's not selfish. You don't pass that puck in the playoffs.

 

[bellagiobob]

An absolute humiliation of the refalanche tonight. Big guns were once again neutered. Love it.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I’ll give the Stars credit. They’re on another level that neither team in our series can match.

 

[BlackDogg]

Colorado spent their wad on Vegas.

No. I don't know what their issue is. But it's great.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Colorado spent their wad on Vegas.

Didnt Dallas play Vegas?

Colorado had the easy first round with Winnipeg.

Yeah you're right. I'm falling asleep and making up new realities

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Av fans have no right to chirp Edmonton's depth as they are literally a one line team

 

[Oilking83]

How about Casper Nuge? Ghosting his way through another playoffs.

Agreed the Nuge has gotten way too many passes. He needs to be better

 

[bellagiobob]

Yeah you're right. I'm falling asleep and making up new realities

Who do you think you are, the Vancouver media?

You're finally on board. Stars are just a good well run org that keep adding extremely useful pieces. They've just dominated the AV's. Seems as the series has developed Stars have just gotten better and imposed their will.

Thing is though this series could be over by now, and could've been a sweep.

AV's all crying today because Nik is on drugs again, and Toews is banged up. Dallas have been missing Hakanpaa all playoffs, now missing Hintz, were missing Marchment, and all they do is roll. Rolling down the Highway. That should be their song. Hard team not to like lead by arguably the best D on the planet.

 

[Satire]

Stars likely deepest team in the league. Not over until it's over, but they are certainly looking like juggernauts right now.

 

[syz]

If the Stars don't go out and draft Johnston and Stankoven in the same year they probably start to age out and we're not talking about them. Meanwhile the last impact forward the Oilers drafted was Connor McDavid.

Quite the change of tune.

Jim Nill knew what he wanted. Trading down meant he had pretty good intel the teams that would now be ahead of him would not be taking Johnson. It’s too bad Holland didn’t listen to Coffey.

 

[BlackDogg]

I think they can bounce back from this but it's really looking grim. They need to not sulk and need three things to win: 1) Better goaltending 2) Better officiating and 3) Picking their spots and bringing the physicality that they can (which will also depend on #2)

They need more fire in their bellies. It almost feels like they don't think they can beat the Canucks, and I guess maybe they don't with Skinner behind them.

Reported for mental abuse.

If they beat the Rangers, I'll take it.

Its almost like Winnipeg didn't even play. tbh I was telling the wife the other night, it feels like last year that they played.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Looking far far ahead… there’s a chance Colorado terminates Nichuskin’s contract and if that happens I think the Oilers would probably do their due diligence.

Entering Stage 3 of the player assistance program isn’t grounds for contract termination.

Not even stage 4 necessarily.

 

[frag2]

I mean we kind of had it in the bag until we didn't.
But with Skinner in the crease, I guess you could always say we never will ever have it in the bag until the final horn sounds

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Not even stage 4 necessarily.

It’s a CBA issue that I understand you cant be terminated over.
