Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[sethro109]

Vegas almost scored a few times In those last 2 minutes. Can't let those chances continue in OT.

 

[Heyduke]

Maybe it's because I hate both of these teams, but it feels like neither of them deserve to win the game.

 

[AvsFan29]

Lol Biz is still taking shots at Marner

They should just give this W to the Avs, I agree

This Vegas crowd is DEAD. It's overtime in the Stanley Cup playoffs and I've heard golf crowds that were louder. What a pathetic crowd. It's honestly sucking a lot of the excitement and energy out of viewing it. Playoff OT is usually exciting even without a rooting interest but I'm pretty sure I'm going to fall asleep soon just like this crowd is.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

f*** Vegas!

I'm going to bed.

 

[missionAvs]

Thank f***. Happy to see the Stars win that one.

 

[sethro109]

Johnston ends it on his 8th shot of the game.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

What a shot. Terrible angle and up and under the bar

 

[AvsFan29]

Lol f*** Vegas

 

[SuperJoe]

f*** Vegas!

I'm going to bed.

Yep same here, f*** them

Wyatt Johnston is so, so good. He should have scored 5 goals tonight. I honestly would not be surprised if he breaks 100 points in a season very soon. IMO he is tied with Roope Hintz for best Stars forward.

What a finish. He was unbelievable tonight. Legit looked like Connor McDavid on every shift.

 

[Mooserton]

Vegas was slow on the transition and just dumped the puck for the majority of OT. I don’t know what perfect opportunity they were waiting for but they lose that game the majority of the time.

 

[S E P H]

Thompson was a pure beast all night long and he allowed that lol. I feel for him because he's the only player on Vegas that I actually like.

And

he scores a beauty

Def a beauty, but Biz ain't wrong, Marner has been one of the worst playoff performers I've seen in the last three or so years. Matthews is up there too, but he's the face of your franchise so you can't trade him away.

That’s on the Leafs management team thinking that big and slow meant shutdown defense

I mean, did you see the team that Triveling built in Calgary? This Toronto team is an exact replica of that; big brutalising defence that can't skate with zero IQ, along with a ton of big brutalising forwards that have zero puck skills. I don't agree with the comments that this Leafs team is soft, they are not the Leafs of 2-3 years ago, they are a lot tougher, but that also means they are a lot dumber as well.

Yeah, that Wyatt Johnston kid was incredible. He is going to haunt us for many seasons to come. Drafted 53rd. Very jealous of the Stars' scouts.

Do you know what's crazy about the Johnston draft? He played zero games during his draft year due to COVID and the OHL shutting it down or something, he only played 8 or so with Team Canada in the U18 WJC. That's it, but Stars took the risk.

Wow, I had no clue. Probably luck played a role too, then. Still kudos for making the right gamble.

23rd, not 53rd.

But ya, Dallas has been good at drafting for a while. Dallas' current roster has 12 players on it that they drafted.... Avs have 4 (Mack, Mikko, Makar, and Juice)... 5 if you want to count Landy.

 

[Balthazar]

If Dallas wins the next game then I don't care what happens next in that series.

 

[Ceremony]

I watched the Leafs highlights. Brodie on that third goal

The building was a morgue as well. Awful stuff. Glad it's not me.

 

[Grigowski]

Dallas made Thompson look like Roy in his prime.... Jesus, what a horrible use of so many grade A-chances... This game should have never went to OT....

 

[LOFIN]

Leafs losing brings me great joy

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Posted this on the Sabres board and here too...

Just my opinion but TBS's Pre-Post-Intermission presentations and game broadcasts are far more enjoyable for me than TNT's.

Listening to Henrik is a delight. Such thoughtful and insightful analysis. Total class act.

And Biz is the perfect characterization of a TML fan. I believe his pouting about his team's misfortunes is genuine. He should host his own TML You Tube channel.

TNT has Messier who I enjoy listening to even though Mark is a bit too wooden. Subban is just a clown act.

Can't stand listening to AJ Meleckyo (?) on TNT broadcasts. She grabs every pause to insert her comments. Frankly, she never shuts up.

Yeah I don't think anybody told the Stars that they don't get a point in the playoffs when they go to OT.
