Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

That was waaay too much skating for a Sabres PP

Woooow what a save on Stamkos to seal the game.

Yay Panthers!

My thoughts on the Bruins-Leafs series:

 

[EichHart]

Reinhart and Hagel both scoring, comical

It’s not the players that were ever the issue. It was always coaching and management. I’d say everyone here knew it and it’s why it’s so frustrating to watch unfold the way it did. Eichel and Reinhart should have been enough to build around and make us contenders. Hence my username

NHL Teams in the playoffs I want to lose the most to the least. I don't like any of them honestly but hate some more than others. I know most here won't agree.

1. Maple Leaves
2. Canucks
3. Oilers
4. Islanders
5. Rangers
6. Capitals
7. Golden Knights
8. Stars
9. Lightning
10. Avalanche
11. Bruins
12. Jets
13. Hurricanes
14. Kings
15. Predators
16. Panthers

Why the Canucks and Oilers so high?

I've just always hated them. I was actually rooting for the Bruins to beat the Canucks in the Stanley Cup Final because I just don't like them. There really is no logic involved.

Weird. I love the Canucks I think of them as our brothers in every single way. Our franchises are extremely similar.

It's pathetic that they couldn't build a winner around these two. Really bad.

Those are my top 3 to lose too. But that’s because I’m Canadian. If anyone is gonna break the “Canadian cup drought”, give me the Sens or Jets. I’ll begrudgingly take the Flames too, but that’s assuming that the Sabres or Sharks aren’t facing any of them in the final.

And I almost burst out laughing trying to finish that last sentence.

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

Winnipeg, Nashville, or maybe Colorado vs the Rangers. I don't like any Eastern team but I can stand the Rags just a little. Really hope the Jets can break the curse though.

Everything went downhill when they chose Housley over ROR and made emotional decisions over competitive ones.

What's that? I have all of the Eastern teams listed first? Huh, how about that...

There was definitely people on here saying Casey was a #1 centerman in the league...I remember because I was asking what current #1 centermen in the league would he be better than.

I'm just saying that I have NEVER regarded Casey to be a #1 centerman on any NHL team.

Gunna have to show some work. The #1 on this team is not the same thing as a #1 around the league.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

I can hold my nose to cheer on the Bruins.

LOL.... I'm italian and my nose is too big........ some of the stink is just gonna seep in!

Honestly though, the Bruins looked very, very good last night vs the Leafs.

 

[sabremike]

Watching the Craps right now makes me want to waffle Kevyn over his stupid head with a Balls Mahoney in ECW style chair shot for not sacking Donnie in December. Not qualifying for the playoffs over this pile of dogshit was totally inexcusable.

If we're being honest.....if we got into the playoffs as the 8 seed this year...we'd be getting waffle-stomped by the Rags just as bad.

 

[MOGlLNY]

all the games have been pretty meh so far.

I'm very excited for the VAN-NSH series for some reason.

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Caps are brutal.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Anthem in Winnipeg was f***ing amazing

 

[Beerz]

Great scene in Winnipeg


Still amazed at the attendance problems with that team
