GDT: 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs ( General talk )

[Papa Francouz]

Quinn Hughes > Jeff Petry

Yeah, in your dreams.

 

[The Kingslayer]

I expect the Knights to win but im picking Vancouver in that one. I think Lehner is going to get exposed badly in that series.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Piet would be a nice addition to the Avs if Zads, Gravy, or Cole move on, as long as the deal isn't more than 3 years.

 

[John Mandalorian]

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

I wouldn’t rule out the Canucks. If they make LGK play their game, it could work in their favor. They like to skate up and down the ice. But if VAN runs up against us, they’ll be swimming with sharks.

 

[Avsboy]

Piet would be a nice addition to the Avs if Zads, Gravy, or Cole move on, as long as the deal isn't more than 3 years.

I think you would need to replace the "or" with an "and" - all three would have to move on to make cap room and roster space for Piet.

I think 2 of those will be gone

Blues trading for an re-signing Justin Faulk to a six year deal with a cap hit of $6.5M/year.

I’d kill for Pie. Shift Makar to the left (he has noted before he likes playing that side) and suddenly your top-4 is:

Makar-Pie
Girard-EJ

 

[Metallo]

BLose with a solid 2-7 postseason.

 

[Metallo]

Schwartz with a « Kerfoot time » goal.

 

[Avs44]

Now Blues fans shall call this playoffs illegitimate. Another group of losing fans join the naysayers!


Happy to see the Blues out, and don't mind this group of Canucks going through at all. Quite a few likeable players, and a lot of young talent -- Pettersson, Horvat, Boeser, Hughes. As long as their management doesn't mess it up and properly builds around them, they should be one of the challengers in the West for a while.

 

[Freudian]

The Western conference final will feature one team from the Pacific Division and one from the Central division.

 

[Metallo]

Blues trading for an re-signing Justin Faulk to a six year deal with a cap hit of $6.5M/year.

Kinda weird to resign him when the guy hasn’t played one game for you yet.

 

[Metallo]

Will the Blues let their captain go? That would be surprizing. It’s not the Isles we are talking about.

 

[crue7]

Kinda weird to resign him when the guy hasn’t played one game for you yet.

Brad Stuart

that was depressing

 

[Hasbro]

Anyone still afraid of the Blues?

 

[Boulder Avalanche]

Canucks have won at least one playoff series before the Leafs even won a single one lol in their 4 years of trying (two if you think the play-in round counted like me).

 

[Avsboy]

Anyone still afraid of the Blues?

Only visions and nightmares of ROR

 

[Balthazar]

Blues and Caps are the only 2 round-robin teams that lost to play-in teams. Interesting.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Binnington did not win a single game in the bubble.

 

[The Kingslayer]

pretty incredible 3-5. Who got drafted after Pettersson?

 

[Avs91]

In this year of shit, we’re gonna have two good things, at least.

The Avalanche claiming their third Stanley Cup (no asterisk). And a surprisingly good Taylor Swift album.

 

[Thepoolmaster]

pretty incredible 3-5. Who got drafted after Pettersson?

Cody Glass by Vegas. I remember he was really hyped up the year after they picked him. Does he still have that kind of hype?

He sure was hyped on his draft year on this board along with Mittelstadt, Vilardi and Tippett.
