Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[BaconNater]

When the Avs are in their downfall it will be fun to have Z back!

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Gonna guess 2-3 games

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

Control your stick, McClavicle.



Control your stick, McClavicle.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

“Tough guy” LOLers will probably just sneak attack with cheap shotsn it’s what they’re good at. That, & winning the draft lottery.

That's disgusting.

 

[the_fan]

So who had Dallas vs Nucks WCF?

After seeing these videos, McDavid had it coming..

No suspension. Definitely.

 

[UnkleKraker]

Z is very good, even elite, in a specific area… play man defense and give him an assignment to shut down a guy. He’s all world. Ask him to play any other system or role and he falls apart. He just wouldn’t work with how the Avs play.

He’s arguably the best character in the league. I hope he gets a huge deal.

Best since this cat?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

And Edmonton will get 7 PPs next game while Vancouver will get maybe 2.

 

[sethro109]

They're definitely not going to be able to scratch Cole if Soucy is out.

I see the league finally caught up to what every other sport has realized. McDavid sure hit the finding out stage of FAFO last night and while it’s stupid how many other things (especially the sucker punch on Marchand) that should have been suspensions that the league let go I’m mildly impressed the league started taking protecting the stars seriously

I know pretty well everyone here wants the Oilers to lose but let’s not pretend that the best thing for the NHL is anything other than viewers tuning in to watch McDrai scoring. The NHL can only dream of getting people to tune in to either hate watch or bandwagon McDavid at even 5% the rate of a Mahomes or Brady

Yeah, while I’m all for protecting your stars, if they’re going to give McClavicle carte blanche to throw “inadvertent” high sticks, slashes, then run behind the refs like Crosbitch, I’m out. Won’t give the league the satisfaction of hate viewing.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

What did McDavid expect to happen after the two-handed slash exactly?


Should have been a fine for Soucy and that's it.


Another thing I like way more about Mack, he generally doesn't do the low key dirty stuff, and if he's getting involved in a scrum, he knows what's about to happen when he does and is actually ready for it. McDavid and Leon do this low-key dirty shit all the time and then immediately play victim when someone retaliates.

I don't understand how Soucy is going to get suspended when it's not his fault McFAFO changes height as Soucy is retaliating?

The NHL simply suspends result more than intent.

 

[Chiarelli]

Mcdavid:

 

[CharlesPuck]

Absolutely pathetic if Soucy gets suspended. If this wasn’t McD no way it’s a hearing.

You’re probably right, but I’ll also say that the Edm-Van series has been quite fun to watch. The most entertaining of the four 2nd round series so far, IMO.

 

[LOFIN]

Jack Campbell going to start G6 at this pace lol

 

[MacKaRant]

Jack Campbell going to start G6 at this pace lol

With Ian Cole dropping the façade and straight up wearing an Oilers jersey for Game 6 as well

 

[dahrougem2]

He has 1 goal and 2 assists this series, all for Edmonton lol. IIIRC that puts him 6th in scoring this series on that team

 

[RockLobster]

didn't even notice this until I saw this Tweet.

Not sure how Hyman escaped anything whatsoever, because he went in with the intention of going high. Soucy only connected w/ McDavid's face because of the hit from behind.

Because it's a clown league. Same with the hit that sidelined Marchand.

Not even a fine for either.

 

[Pokecheque]

I'm more concerned with the lackluster response from the Oilers. I see my captain and best player getting double-whacked like that I'm going in right away. I'll likely get the total shit beat outta me but I'm going in there.

G would instantly turn into an EF5 Tornade if someone even thought about pulling that crap on Landy.
