Around the League: Second Round Starts.

[Leaffan1991]

Wow Vegas is dominating 1-0

 

[Daisy Jane]

Let’s go Vegas! Wish the leafs would have an epic intro like that

i missed it what was it?

and vegas scored its first ever playoff goal

 

[Warden of the North]

Outside of Kopitar and Doughty I think I like Vegas's roster better then LA

 

[Superstar]

Vegas is a fast team and playing really tough against the Kings, really giving it to them...they are great at closing the gaps...and with the Flower being the Knights goalie with his 3 Stanley Cups, the Kings are going to have a tough time beating them.

They do have some other good pieces like Carter, a resurgent Brown and Muzzin. But, I agree LA isn't very deep.

Yeah, Vegas looks like a team full of energizer bunnies...they probably have one 1st line and three second lines, a bunch of 2nd pairing dman, and a world class goalie.

 

[Ratboy]

I just realized Vegas stole the early 90s Canucks home jerseys.

 

[Daisy Jane]

so vegas, jets win, and the flyers get obliterated. what a fantastic first night of playoff action

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nice to see Vegas win. I'd much rather them progress than the Kings. Also Brian Elliott needs to be better. That level of goal tending will not cut it against any opponent never mind the Pens.

The entire Western conference is pretty meh, tbh. Vegas, the Wild, and the Sharks don't have the star power. LA doesn't have the depth. Colorado is a year removed from last place. Anaheim gets filled in possession-wise nightly and guys like Perry aren't what they used to be. I like the rosters of at least 5 Eastern teams (us, Pittsburgh, Washington, Boston, and Tampa) over everybody in the West not named Winnipeg or Nashville (and Columbus is a pretty solid/underrated team too).

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Damn 2 one sided matches today, I hope our team doesn't get rolled over tomorrow. We already have too many squishy players that aren't built for playoffs.

'Looks like it may have been tipped' you're looking at the same replay we are buddy.

Are you blind?

No he is just blind and an idiot for not seeing it hit the back heal of the D mans stick. Welcome to HFL lmfao.

 

[2 Slick]

So far every team that was expected to win, won last night.

Vegas don’t need star power. I would argue that they would give any team a run for their money including TB.

The dissonance to not see that Pittsburgh is the anti-thesis of a physical team and they had the best game today, and then to continue to say we have too many 'squishy' (wtf?) players is unreal

It's funny because neither Vegas or Pittsburgh are physical teams.

 

[Warden of the North]

I dont know about that. Lots of "experts" were picking Philly to win the series.

One of the local idiots in the media here said something along the lines of "Do we really even know what Matt Murray is yet?"

I mean the series isnt over yet, but I want Pitt to crush Philly so those guys can eat even more crow

 

[BlueForever75]

Who starts for Anaheim in net Gibson or Miller? Heard Gibson was back at practice.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Doughty has a hearing for an elbow to the head
Flyers coach says that Eliott will start game 2.

this guy you are responding to is spewing the same garbage in multiple threads..he knoweth not of what he speaks. he should do the honorable and rescind his fanship!

 

[Menzinger]

The Oilers cap situation looks pretty rough considering how many blatant holes they have in their lineup. They’re likely going to have to sell a good player (ie RNH) to free up some space.

I hate the Oilers but as a hockey fan it’s quite a shame to see them waste McDavids talents in his early years on that tire fire of an organization

 

[Menzinger]

poor wild. they were doing so well too

It’s really too bad Suter got injured. He was such a calming presence in their own zone.

Hoping they pull off a win next game

Can't believe Nicholson is keeping Chiarelli around, lol...

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Like night and day watching the Jets vs our game 1..wow.

I can see the Jets going all the way, and I dislike the jets, just pure dominance! they had the puck all game minnesota is done in 4
