2019 playoff discussion thread-Some no name Russians played their last game in Ohio

That's the right result

I was mostly rooting for the Blues....and was pretty much on the edge of my seat. I then realized, what if the Panthers are in game 7 double OT at home, I hope I’ll find out how that feels ...

You probably blocked it from your subconscious but it happened relatively recently

i still say he'll resign with columbus. they want to resigns all their free agents and have the money to do it according to their management.

They have three young very promising goaltenders - Merzlikins, Tarasov and Vehviläinen, who would all be blocked by Bob. Merzlikins has repeatedly impressed the hell of me internationally - he is 25 and was probably ready to cross the pond a year or two ago if not for Bob; Vehvilainen (22) was excellent in Liiga including the playoffs, Tarasov is the youngest of the bunch at 20 but posted a great season in the VHL and is now headed to the AHL.

Maybe C-bus get a 1-2 year stopgap starter or 1B, but there's no way they should sign Bob to a long-term contract for 8+ mill.

Saw this in my feed this morning on NHL dot com.... hope some of this story turns out to be true....
Mailbag: Bobrovsky, Panarin futures with Blue Jackets

I’d be willing to bet there’s a 0 percent chance he resigns. There is a reason they took a bunch of laps around the arena at the end of the game.

Actually, there is more likely a 100% chance he resigns in Columbus.

He is going to re-sign somewhere else.

Happy to see St. Louis winning. Hope they win the whole thing!

Boston: Obviously not. They have won a cup recently, and it's Boston.
Carolina: Nope. I don't hate them like some people do here, but they have already won a cup.
Colorado: Nope. They screw us over all the time (Stanley Cup finals/draft!)
San Jose: I really don't want to see hipster Burns, Kane, Karlsson etc. win a cup. A lot of their players are unlikeable.

Also, it would be crazy cool if St. Louis won considering they were bottom of the league like mid way through the season (up until early January as I recall).

We were. The in unison sigh when Madden missed was incredible.

Is it bad that I still hold a grudge against bouwmeester and don't care to see him win a cup? Out of the remaining bunch, the only team I don't have some sort of dislike for or historical grudge is probably san jose...well except maybe kane. Does someone have to win it??

I hate those two separate meanings I’m literally too lazy to add the hyphen lol. I’ll make sure I do around you though

Thanks. It is one of my pet peeves as they mean the opposite thing!

You need to re-sign as grammar police

 

[drktmplr12]

It's tough to root for the Bruins, but I can tolerate it just for the way their media and fanbase has called for Rask's head after the 2013 run. Tuukka deserves the cup as a starter.

Canes meh, too many young guys and no story, other than the team itself, to root for.

Blues hopefully make it from the west, their fanbase deserves it.

Avs meh.

Sharks, I think they'll have a hard time getting past STL. Plenty of veteran storylines though.

 

[I am not exposed]

Sharks are dominating this game.

 

[CHGoalie27]

I hope the west wins either way.

Boston probably will overpower everyone tho.

Given the teams left in the east, I have only I’ll feelings for them....but I think the either STL or SJS can win it.

All these Panthers fans on Twitter rooting for the hurricanes... did we all forget Ed Belfour died for this?

Also rooting for a team with Jay Bouwmeester on it... yikes.

 

[FinlandPanther]

We all need to let go of the hurricanes thing. They are a sunbelt team and I’ll hate them in the regular season but I hope they win it all compared to Boston at least.

 

[Gentle Man]

Evander Kane is a f***head but I am going for the Sharks and Jumbo

 

[RogerRoger]

Evander Kane is a ****head but I am going for the Sharks and Jumbo

TBH Jumbo is probably an even bigger shithead

 

[I am not exposed]

TBH Jumbo is probably an even bigger ****head

Yeah, and they have hipster Burns on their team as well. Karlsson irks me as well.

Do like Pavelski though.

I like the Canes. And as you said, compared to Boston, it is an easy choice!
