I never realized Paul Romanuk was that old. He looks ancient.
I immediately thought Romanuk looks like Dana Carvey's "Mr. Turtle" character.

and yet there team let in more goals than the Oilers did so other than having sexier names on defense they definitely weren't light years apart.They’ve added pieces through the draft and other acquisitions. Their forward group murdered ours this year and the defenses are light years apart.
Goaltending was the main reason the Oilers got as far as they did. When it failed then the defense was exposed.and yet there team let in more goals than the Oilers did so other than having sexier names on defense they definitely weren't light years apart.

and I'm saying Hellebyuk has a big chance to pull a Talbot next year what are you even arguing about? We've all seen what a Jets team looks like when their goaltending sucks it results in them missing the playoffs like I said is a big possibility for that team just like it was for us.Goaltending was the main reason the Oilers got as far as they did.

That's almost always the playoffs every year. Best goalie wins. Actually I think I saw a stat that our 2 series last year were the only ones where the best sav% goalie didn't win hehe. Talbot was best in round 2, SJ guy was better than him in round 1.
If Murray and Fleury didn't do backflips for 2 straight playoffs, the pens don't win either cup. Their D were exposed constantly. Vegas is about to get to the finals thanks to a goalie that bails them out all night every night.
Caps will come back and win this series.
That would be nice but not really seeing that. The Lightning have better depth through and through and certainly better defensively. Caps have lost 3 in a row now.
No, that was the entire point of my posts is that their goaltender is setting up to let down the Jets just like Talbot did for the Oilers and it could translate into his game next year which is why I felt like the Jets are a good candidate to pull a 17/18 Oilers next season.Does any team have success with crap goaltending? This season was the first time the Jets ever had good goaltending. Years they have been hiding a pretty solid lineup by giving the 18 skaters an infinitely high hill to climb with goalies that kill any momentum they build by letting in trash.

that sentiment will only last until the draft
Not really. The Pens badly outplayed teams in a lot of the games in their cup years. They absolutely dominate puck possession. Pens in a lot of their playoff wins outshoot opponents badly.
I don't think so.Hot take: 2016-2017 Oilers were better than the 2017-2018 Jets.
You realize the series is 2-2?Yeah this series is done. The Caps cap again. What a boring playoffs.
It’s 3-2, and they are the Caps for a reason.You realize the series is 2-2?
