Around the League: Second Round Starts.

One freaking period. Just like 2013.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Tampa pulling an us in game 1.

 

[Superstar]

Tampa pulling an us in game 1.

Except TB is playing at home.

 

[Cleetus]

not sure why cooper would pull the goalie that late on the pp and with like 7 min left lol weird......

 

[raydizzle]

Feels like I'm watching a replay of Leafs game 1.

Truly unbelievable how Cassidy doesn't realize yet that his top line needs a Hyman to dig out pucks and disrupt.

Babcock>Cooper

Hedman pulled a Gardiner with his decision making there. 6 on 4 and he just takes a clapper on the goalie from outside the blueline when they were in the middle of a change. Boston easily breaks it out and scores.

They already have one. His name is Marchand except he is waay more skilled.

When they got 3 skilled guys who aren't afraid to do that it's not a problem. Unfortunately we don't.

Matthews is one of the best puck-retrieving centers in the league actually.

Babcock logic dictates he should be driving another line then.

And there it is, nothing wrong with Hyman just playing too far up in the lineup, patience.

 

[NoName]

Ugh, Boston dropping 6 on Tampa... gross.

Please don't let the f***ing Bruins win another Cup.

 

[LaPlante94]

That's 1/3

Cooper got his lunch handed to him. Any team that faces the Bruins MUST utilize home ice to the fullest degree in regards to match-ups/shutdown of Bergeron line.

If Tampa gets stomped in this series, does it take a bit of the sting of being eliminated?

I wanna see if Tampa can shut down Bostons line for at least 3 games and hold them to 0 points in those games. Coopers this amazing coach and Babcock sucks apparently so I want to see the kind of adjustments Cooper makes after getting spanked like that.

Matthews is one of the best puck-retrieving centers in the league actually.

When he was in full health he would steal the puck off sticks like no one I’ve seen. When he gets back to doing that we’ll know he’s ready.

I think so.

Ottawa and Vancouver dropped in the draft order ......smile.....now let’s hope Montreal moves no more than 3rd.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

It’s going to be a Bruins-Jets Final isn’t it?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Well 66% chance Dahlin is in our division.

 

[Community]

Well 66% chance Dahlin is in our division.

Even if he isn't we still have the #2 and #3 prospects joining our division.

I'm hoping for Carolina. In addition to them being the best managed franchise (and least hated option from TOR POV), they might look to move one of their other top young Dmen.

Dahlin's definitely coming to the East. Still 2/3 chance it's to the Atlantic. Carolina keeps him away from a divisional rival, but they're currently the best team of the three that can get him. Not sure what I'd like to see happen.
