Around The NHL - The Craig Morgan Vacation Watch

[AZviaNJ]

Love watching Winnipeg play......hope we can be them at some point.

 

[Mosby]

Tampa can't even pull Vasilevkiy because their backup is a trash bag.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

The Jets have a tremendous team. I'd be rooting for them if they hailed from any other city in the world. Go Knights!

 

[doaner]

I have no idea why anyone would think any of the 4 teams left can't beat the other 3 and I see no reason why anyone would think Tampa or Wash is way above the West?

Let’s revisit this in a few weeks, shall we?

Like them or hate them Winnipeg is a very good team playing even better.

NHL blows another goalie interference call.

Armia was pushed into Fleury by Carpenter, they got the call right.

No... they suck...as usual.

This game suuuuccckks. Zero flow to it. Boring AF.

Both teams are here because of solid goaltending, but neither is particularly impressive. At least Vegas can show some speed from time to time. The jets have no business reaching the finals.

Jets looked so amazingly talented against Nashville because it's, well... Nashville. No structure to their game in their own zone. String 3-4 passes together against the Predators (something we can't seem to do very often unfortunately) and all their defenders are out of position.

Nashville that last game kinda reminded me of us two years ago only we were icing five Mikkel Boeddkers at the same time.

Ovie gets an immediate breakaway. Save. But Caps score 28 seconds in anyway...

Lightning bouncing right back... 2-1 now...

Lightning are way better than Caps when they get to unfairly use an extra player.

That missing a guy thing has really hurt the Caps haha

The Caps are way better when both teams have the same number of players playing!! If I was Wash coach I would suggest to players not to do things that are penalties. But then again sometimes you get penalty anyway??? Like Oshie.

 

[_Del_]

Sportnets crew was all over it. Especially rough when they score.

 

[doaner]

Yup. That was huge. Taking 2 on the road. This is the Capitals year.

Caps/Vegas final. Ovy deserves one and Vegas has been a cinderella all year.

I would like to see the Jets in the final. Love the way that team plays. They are young, fast, big and talented.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Bolts need to give someone else a chance in net...look at those playoff numbers!!!

 

[azcanuck]

One thing is clear watching these playoffs is how far the Yotes are from these elite teams.
What's very noticeable is how physical the better players are on the teams. Going to be a while before we see guys like Keller and the soft forwards on the Yotes competing with this type of competition.

The Yotes are a very soft team. That is one reason I would like Tkachuk on this team. You add him to Crouse, Fischer and Perlini you become a pain in the a-- to play against.

Yup. That’s why I want Tkachuk this year.

We can call up Bunting if we want some sand, or we can sign any number of gritty pests that will be available in UFA. I only draft Tkachuk if he's BPA, and I have several other players ahead of him on my list at #5.
