GDT: 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs ( General talk )

[The Kingslayer]

Canucks just want it more. STL has packed it in the same way the Yotes did. Vancouver is going to expose Lehner.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Why does the main board hate Binnigton so much? He probably shouldn't have started tonight but jeeeeze he is getting roasted

His political/world view I think is one reason.

Avs fans rooting for Vancouver...

 

[Avsboy]

Two teams have been destroyed by goaltending decisions: Calgary and Blues

 

[Azrael89]

Really? You think they gonna have it easy with Vancouver? I think its not gonna be that easy for Vegas. This Nucks team can play

Vancouver is significantly inexperienced. If they prove me wrong I’ll gladly eat that crow, but I don’t think it will be close in that series.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Avs fans rooting for Vancouver...

Nah. I wanted this to go to 7 and both teams decide they both suck.

 

[Balthazar]

Not bad...

 

[The Kingslayer]

Hahah STL is trash

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Vegas has a nice path to the Finals.

Barf

 

[The Kingslayer]

Not bad...

Justin Faulk still plays hockey is remarkable to me.

 

[crue7]

Hahahaha cycle to death to lose it in a hand pass. Get f***ed Blues.

You can probably add Carolina to that list.

I think Vegas will win, but I also think this Nucks team won't make it that easy for them

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Yeah, I definitely don’t see the Knights as a heavy favourite over Vancouver.

I think VGK gets overrated at times. They’re not Boston, or Tampa.

If the Canucks won the games in hand from the regular season they only would have been 4 points behind the Knights at the stoppage.

 

[crue7]

As i said on the main boards, nobody should be making judgments based on these fake playoffs.

Yes, i still consider them fake and just a bloody tournament.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see the Blues come back with a vengeance next season when we have a normal season with a normal playoffs.

Here come the excuses. Every weak team has been eliminated this week. Every team started off on equal footing. Embarrassing take right here lmao

I was waiting for this take from that specific fan base. They did not disappoint. They can like it or not, but they’re no longer defending champs either way.

 

[HockeyFan100]

I like to think that the Kadri buzzer beater broke Binnington.

 

[Avs71]

Imagine this being Pietrangelo’s last game wearing the Note. They will be middle of the pack, at best, next season.

They will blame it on Covid, but the Blues will have no excuses next season.

 

[BrickNHL]

@BrickNHL and MY Canucks showing who's the best team in the West

Quinn Hughes > Jeff Petry

 

[Metallo]

Blues fans blaming the pause and "beginning of the season type of hockey".

The Blues should have played playoff hockey instead.

 

[McMetal]

St. Louis put on a puck possession clinic with that possession, but no real dangerous chances came out of it. Reminds me of the Avs in years past with the endless passing cycles.

Unless I'm missing something, of all the elimination games to have been played thus far in the first round, only two teams have survived, and both were eliminated the next game (Washington and Chicago). I think it's a bit tinfoil hat-ish to say they all wanted to go home, but that strikes me as a bit unusual.

 

[forsbergavs32]

I expect Vegas to beat the Nucks, but I hope they at least take Vegas to 7 and wear them down a bit

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Imagine this being Pietrangelo’s last game wearing the Note. They will be middle of the pack, at best, next season.

They will blame it on Covid, but the Blues will have no excuses next season.

If they lose Petro they’ll have to fight and claw just to make the playoffs imo.

 

[JLo217]

I’m loving this. Honestly it’s pretty easy to see what teams came to play. I wouldn’t be shocked to see the Flyers bounced.

Boston, Avs, Isles and VGK look like the most focused teams

 

[JWK]

Quinn Hughes < Jeff Petry
