No way. He's Roy-giev now and will lead us to the promised land.
Who bombs in the first round?

If you won a cup with Darcy Kuemper being average, you can certainly win a cup with Alexander Georgiev being average too.

Especially when we get Landy back in the Vegas series. Not from Gainesville, but big fan of Dragonfly and Crybabys!

Vancouver bombing it seems to be inevitable. Extremely lucky to be up 3-1 and not facing elimination or already being eliminated right now.
Hehe its not luck, its called having skills to score last minute. If anything, Nashville is lucky to not get any Goalie interference calls on their goals or slashes after every whistle that has cause injuries to DeSmith and Demko

outside a miracle comeback in Game 4, they're losing this series 3-2
need to shoot more than 20 shots a game

2 miracle comebacks tbh, but the Preds were also full marks for choking both of them.
lol and they should have won game 2 and should have been up after the first last game. Shit happens. Nashville isn’t getting shots either. That’s how the series is going.
That’s just absurdly dumb. Calling game 1 a miracle comeback would be like calling last game a miracle comeback.

While I agree we need more than 20 shots, our system all season has been counterattacking offense. We've routinely been outshot and scored in spite of it. Hence the PDO memes.
The issue we're having now is Nashville doesn't really play a fast, rush style game so instead of making the necessary adjustments, Tocchet seems intent on trying to force the Preds to play our way so we can create opportunities. We're trying way too hard to look for that perfect set play when we should just go for the garbage goal.
It's also why we struggled so much with LA in the regular season.
If we do make it to the second round, I wouldn't be at all surprised if suddenly we score a bunch because the Oilers play a much more aggressive game. Doesn't mean we'll win though. I want no part of a Jets/Avs game 1 bloodbath cause you guys have WAY more options than we do for that.

Yeah, it’s kind of silly to do victory laps in this thread when the whole premise is to try and predict unlikely results. Any answer is likely to be wrong.

Better to soar with the eagles rather than flock amongst the turkeys I always say.

Does hockey in general count ?
Animosity? Nope.
OK, but the skill is coming out in spades, right ?
Nope.
So... what are the playoffs ?
f***ing regular season games

A lot of people expected the Canucks would bomb in the first round because of PDO and inexperience.
Canucks won this in 6 without their star vezina caliber goalie.
