Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[Freudian]

Went to bed at 4-1. Woke up to 5-4. Cue up the song.

It's a copycat league. Probably watched the Avs last game.

Some of the goals allowed were sub-Georgie level efforts from the goalies.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Maintenance day

Too close to heart man

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

I am glad he says that, because if this is how they aim to play, they will lose:

That's the difference, Game 1 Colorado Vs Jets we lost, but we lost because Georgiev had historically bad game. Not because we didn't own them otherwise.

I was always curious how you can waste nine million a season.

Pretty easy actually

Going to bed when the oilers are up 4-2 and waking up to them having lost.

That’s disgusting

There hasn't been a Canadian superteam since the 80s Oilers lol Toronto should have been successful, but.....yah

2011 Canucks were very good and the best Canadian team I have seen. They both led the league in goals scored as well as had the fewest goals against. Not many teams have accomplished that in the same season.

Two Art Ross level forwards, Selke level 2C, Vezina quality goalie, no true 1D but a very solid top 4, etc.

Did the Oilers think they were going to steamroll the Canucks so easy so they didn't try?

No, they just have Darnell Nurse on their team.

Zadorov gonna get an extra 20-25 mil in career earnings from getting traded to Vancouver

Easily. Like I said during the first round, there has been legit discussion in Vancouver whether they should focus on Zadorov or Hroenik. I mean Hroenik is pt2 or one of the best pairs in the league! And Nick Kypreos said in their show that someone is going to pay Zadorov up to 6mil a year if he reaches the market. Which is lunacy, but can definitely happen if he continues to play like this.

Good for him, I can't say this enough times: one of the best personalities in the league. Wishing him all the best (except winning against us).

No, they just have Darnell Nurse on their team.

The Oilers had what, less than 10 shots in the 2nd and 3rd period? They were atrocious all around.

 

[henchman21]

I hope Z gets paid, and I hope it is to a team I hate. That's a future boat anchor of a contract. The ultimate 'I can fix him' defensemen. He is damn good, elite even at 1 very specific thing though.... that 1v1 defense. You give him the one directive of just 'shutdown McDavid' and worry about nothing else... he can do it.

yep... was 2-0 when i went to bed....It must have been the refs fault

You got it!

You got it!

I’ve been banned from that forum for awhile. I miss that place!

dont worry, I will go and represent you

 

[avalanche_country]

That song has cursed the oilers like imagine dragons did to COL.

 

[Avs_19]

4-2 for me as well. I figured it was safe to call it as it was around the 11 minute mark of the third, just before the Canucks scored their third goal.

Some of those goals were just awful too.

 

[Avs91]

You got it!

"gonna ride the Kane train"

 

[RECKLESS]

Sometimes the time difference works wonders. Woke up today when the Oilers were up 4-1 and watched them roll over and die from there.

Choosing Z over Heineken would be a… choice. Anyone who signs Z long term will regret that.

[S E P H]

I don't blame them, Andersen had a TON of trouble tracking pucks around his feet.

 

[Chiarelli]

Freddy wasn't good but Kochetkov won't get it done either. His style is so scrambly. Canes in trouble.

 

[Ceremony]

If Carolina are putting in a goalie that wears 52 they're as well being shipped back to Hartford before the game starts tbqh.

 

[Pokecheque]

Did the Oilers think they were going to steamroll the Canucks so easy so they didn't try?

They got away with trying to sit on leads with the Kings twice. Probably not going to work against the Nucks.

Ironically it was Vancouver's third line that annihilated the Oilers.
