GDT: 2020 Playoffs part the second

[weastern bias]

Well, Pavelski finally scored on a manned net in a finals game

So he's got that going for him, which is nice

 

[OrrNumber4]

Do you mean at the time of the trade? Because I can't go one podcast these days without hearing the same praise for bringing those two in

Right, that's easy to say now...they were generally excoriated at the time.

Figures it happens when he isn't a Shark!

And Klingberg botches the faceoff one-timer, oof

yeah that was kind of a cringe. obviously he's been great though otherwise

Also, more reasons to root for Dallas: if they lose, Bruins fans will eternally say "our GM knew that t̶h̶o̶r̶n̶t̶o̶n̶ Seguin would never be a winner, so any trade to get him off our team was a good one."

If Dallas loses maybe they will be more desperate to improve next year and try to go for Burns. I don't care what Bruins fans say.

Couldn't they be right?

Would they really go for burns with his contract with the sudden emergence of hieskanan? Seems like what Dallas is missing is forward depth, Not more offensive defenceman.

You're right. No GM in the NHL would ever trade for a #1 offensive D when they already have one and need forward depth.

Can you imagine Dallas with Burns, Heiskanen, and Klingberg down the right side?

Thought honestly, Dallas would probably be best looking for an upgrade on Oleksiak on that 2nd-pairing. Seguin's playoff failures notwithstanding, their forward group is pretty good, especially if Kirivanta is the real deal.

Depends on how much UV radiation said GM has been exposed to.

They could, but it's not falsifiable... So it's sort-of a useless statement IMO

Bad news for Tampa Bay; Stamkos is back.

I unmuted just to hear Emrick's call....my goodness, from "off the floor, on the board!" to..."out of a storybook".

This aged well...

Jamie Benn will score today. He has played way too well on finals to be without points after three games.

One goal does determine it...

I mean dudes a PPG #1C when healthy, thats a phenomenal addition back to the team. Doesn't loook like he's close to 100% based on what the broadcast was saying, I also joined late to the game, so haven't been able to see how he has been playing.

 

[Jwec]

Welp. I think Pavs will lose his second stanley cup finals :S Tampa is just too good.

 

[tiburon12]

I thought Pavs and Goodrow were buddies, guess not

What happened? I turned the game off when it looked like a blowout.

Just some "playful ribbing"

 

[hohosaregood]

Just some "playful ribbing"

From the way Pavs skates away, it looks like he's going for an "accidentally on purpose" even when it was very clearly on purpose.

 

[slocal]

Well that's kinda shitty, lol

 

[one2gamble]

Dallas went full Vegas in the 3rd
