Series Talk: Around the NHL: 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs — First-round

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Jesper "Elite young talent" Bratt scratched for Drew Stafford.

Does Hynes think that since there are so many former Rangers on Tampa, that some of Staffords anti-Rangers magic will emerge?

If it works he's the smartest coach in the NHL

Tomas Plekanec making DD look like Wayne Gretzky these days. He's moving up in the lineup tonight I hear. Good luck to the leafs tonight. They are gonna need it unless Boston comes into this game really flat.

They could really use Kadri, but idiots gonna idiot.

Loves watchin' the shmevils get their asses kicked.

That singer made my ears bleed. She should have let the crowd sing the entire anthem.

It always amazes me when a talented player loses control and shows such little regard for others. Kadri has twice made throat-slitting gestures to opposing players in his known career, and often makes dangerous hits.
Will he learn? Who gives a f***. Nobody deserves endless benefit of the doubt.

Girardi top pairing with Herman. Miller with Stamkos and Kucherov.

Devils are going to get spanked.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Rick Nash is earning his pay with defensive play

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Toronto crowd went nuts after that hit on Marchand

I've always had a thing for Deb Placey

Lol

Lots of empty seats in Newark

The Leafs have to do another assessment. I actually do not believe that the Leafs brass really thought they were a Cup threat. Those guys are smarter than that. Some may point to the fact that they did not add a stud defenceman by the deadline as an indication that they thought they were ready. I don't think that is true. Leafs fans will support their team no matter what. Management knows this. That is one of the Leafs biggest problems; the fans are a captive audience.
Stockholm Syndrome.

Lots of empty seats in Newark

Putting 3 teams in the metro area was hella dumb. Take the isles and put them in Quebec City take the devils and New Jersey and just burn them to ashes

 

[Ghost of jas]

McDonagh made a great play there.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Bruins got hosed on that.

Pavel Zacha has never done anything of note when I’ve watched him play. Such a non-descript player.

"But he's the better Pavel in the NYC metro area hurrr durrr" or something like that...

He's like an Anisimov Peter Holland hybrid.

Not someone you take at 6OA. And that’s the problem with Shero as a GM. His drafting while with the Pens didn’t exactly surround Crosby and Malkin with inexpensive talent. He’s very good with trades.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Looks like miller is in prime playoff form

Zacha over Werenski and Provorov

McLeod over McAvoy

It’s not even like they’ve had a wealth of D prospects or anything, they’re just making trash picks.

Between the Devils and Leafs, John Carlson is going to be a very wealthy man this summer.

Isles, too.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

If the Devils has McAvoy and one of Provorov or Werenski they’d probably challenge for the division.

So glad they’ve sucked at drafting for a decade +
