2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs

Kadri gets out of the box and gets hit by Debrusk.

Is it kneeing or a hit?

Kadri definitely sold that a bit IMO

It's similar to Giordano's hit on Fowler a couple of years ago. DeBrusk is just going for a hit, and Kadri's attempt to dodge it results in the knee-on-knee collision. You can't give a guy a penalty for using good form in a body-check.

 

[SKRusty]

My opinion is Kadri tried at the last second to go around Debrusk and misjudged time and space and got caught in a bad situation. Nothing Debrusk could have done to avoid.

Twitter blew up with Leafs fans crying though.

 

[SKRusty]

The Leafs are getting pummeled both on the scoreboard and on the ice physically tonight. The Bruins are ruthless.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

The B’s are a scary team.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Leafs losing on the scoreboard, so trying to win a street brawl instead.

That's probably all she wrote for the comeback attempt.

 

[Anglesmith]

Welp, at least this year the Leafs are only losing their third-line centre for 3+ games instead of a top-sixer.

3 was his last playoff suspension. Repeat offender I say between 5-7.

The way Winnipeg is playing is how we have to come out tomorrow.

Idc wtf happens to us, but the lightning being swept would be glorious. f***s up my bracket, but man the laughs we will all get.

I think you'll find roughly 95% of brackets will break if Tampa gets swept lol

I worry about the Flames, of course, but the schadenfreude derived from seeing Tampa doing even worse is admittedly a pretty great feeling

I like to think the hockey gods are punishing their current core for stealing a cup in 2004

 

[Calculon]

Well there goes the bracket I never bothered making.

The Lightning getting swept after the season they just had...that's one for the ages.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Wasn't Columbus up 3-0 on Washington last year?

 

[Mobiandi]

Who knows? Maybe Panarin and/or Bob stay if the Jackets go on a deep run

Wasn't Columbus up 3-0 on Washington last year?

2-0, before a Werenski own goal in 2OT turned the tides for Washington in game 3

2-0

People will talk about this one for... 10-15 years.
You'll always hear it when teams are having great regular seasons: "But do they have it when it matters? Recall the 2019 Tampa Bay Lightning, they tied an NHL record only to be swept in round 1 of the playoffs."

 

[Anglesmith]

Just think about all the records that Tampa set this season. They have a chance to tie the record for lowest number of playoff wins in a season all-time and add to the list.

Sharks are getting absolutely plowed in this game.

Wish we got Stone

Wish we got Stone

I suggested a Monahan for Stone swap last year and I would still have done that. He ended up getting traded for an A prospect and a 2nd, no offense to Treliving but if we would've been able to sign him no prospect should've been off the table.

Ryan?
Backlund

Janks

Down the middle? No Bueno.

I feel like Smith always plays out of his mind when we go "Good news, it's Smith in net".
