Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[PROUD PAPA]

I'm looking forward to the Jets/Avs game today. The others will likely be boring(nucks/preds) or one-sided.

Same here. I'm hitching my wagon to every Canadian team seeing as our team is about to hit the links early once again. Nothing against our American friends but it would be nice to see the cup head north of the border for once.

So far this year I have enjoyed most of the series.

Teams can score, and I don't spend the majority of the game frustrated.

Watching McDavid and Hyman together is great.

Van/Nas has been boring but I have quite a few Canuck fans so I am kind of invested

2:30 start time is tough lol

 

[PROUD PAPA]

2:30 start time is tough lol

Agreed.
Ideally it would be the late game.

 

[Jojalu]

Watching Makar and Hughes skate makes me pine for a stud D.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

My god the Avs are toying with the Jets

 

[Jojalu]

That whole sequence by Lehkonen was next level.

 

[Clark4Ever]

I'm was expecting more push back from the Jets today. The ice is tilted so far.

 

[Blanka]

Mark my words. The Jets are going to win this 3-2 with 10 shots on net.

Watching the Avs makes me sick. They STINK defensively and have the worst goaltending in the playoffs, yet they find a way against an elite goalie + defense

Their offense actually carries them unlike ours

It looks very much like a continuation of how game 3 ended.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Old man Parise playing like he's 25 on a line with Mittlestadt and Lehkonen. Could you imagine him on the Leafs? He'd probably be a useless plug

They dumped enforcer MacDermitt and put in even more speed/skill. Look at that team and tell me who's a face puncher. Just a lot of skill and speed through every line. Their mid line centers are only 40-50 point players too. Their third line is Wood, Ross and Kivirante...

It helps that they have more than 1 capable player offensively on the backend. Makar, Toews and now Walker is just a lot of 2-way skill. The second they get the puck, it's out with a pass or by skating.

 

[Blanka]

One down two more to go.

Yup, they have a viewpoint for how they want to construct their roster and find players who fit it

We're a weird mix of speed/skill along with gritty players. There's no direction here

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Looked off to me.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Woah the Jets entering the line with speed?!? Good shot by Schmidt

Man these offside challenges suck. Might as well bring out a microscope next time to see if the guy is a millimeter offside

Lehkonen is quite underrated especially in the playoffs

 

[BertCorbeau]

Also the Av’s may have snuck one by the Sabres in grabbing Middlestadt

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Lehkonen is quite underrated especially in the playoffs

He went from OK 3rd liner on the Habs to elite 2nd liner who can fill in on the top line. He has softened the blow of not having their top line LW for 2 years

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Vancouver just can't catch a break in net. DeSmith is now injured, so they're turning to Silovs tonight

 

[Rare Jewel]

As the Leafs know, you can't out-score your problems in the playoffs...


Unless you're the Avalanche.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Anybody see that Makar goal? That’s what we’re missing from our stars

It helps when your best player is your best player
