Rick Bowness predictably trending.

 

[Tyson]

Pavelski breaks the tie

 

[peate]

This is the most playoff type game today. Stars jump ahead .

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Johnny Hockey is a playoff choker

 

[expy]

Flames haven’t really shown that they’re the better team. Dallas is a bad match for them, a hard working team with some skilled players.

 

[peate]

Big save on Johnny Hockey.

 

[expy]

Gaudreau is bad… oettinger even made the first move,

 

[peate]

Wild action, players colliding, everything is happening, and The sTARS TAKE THIS ONE.

 

[expy]

That’s the series.

Flames lol

 

[No More Subban]

I live in Calgary. This is great!!! Fans here got too confident lol

 

[MarkJ]

so what # pick will Calgary have?

 

[Toene]

My playoffs pool mange une claque ce soir.

I had to pick 16 players (max 4 per team). I have no Stars players and two Flames players (Gaudreau, Tkachuk). If they lose this series I lose a third of my selected players from the Western conference. I also picked Kuznetsov and he has zero points in a 6 goals night by the Caps. Ugh.

 

[Runner77]

No goals for Toffoli in the last 13 games (his 3 playoff games so far plus his last 10 games from the regular season).

 

[26Mats]

so what # pick will Calgary have?

Even if they lose in the first round, the teams that won their division get picks 25-28 (unless they go to the conference finals). Calgary had the least points of the division winners. So, I think, if Calgary loses in the 1st round or the 2nd round, we pick 25th.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Been a bit underwhelming of a first round imo. Lots of blowouts, often listless play and bad goaltending from the games ive seen

So far Avs and Leafs look most poised to make a run. Havent seen enough of the Wild to know one way or another

Manys teams need to do a 180 and fast

 

[SpeedyPotato]

I know I'm way way late on this, but am I the only one who doesn't understand how the 2nd Landeskog goal was deemed good? How did Lehkonen not prevent the goalie from doing his job? I feel like I've seen so many of these calls go against the habs this year, this seemed like a no brainer incidental contact case.

 

[26Mats]

No goals for Toffoli in the last 13 games (his 3 playoff games so far plus his last 10 games from the regular season).

Those aren't good numbers to say the least. But who's he been playing with? Jarnkrok, Coleman, and Backlund?

Havan't checked. But, isn't Toffoli known to get into these prolonged goal scoring funks?

He was pretty good with us last year and Vancouver the year before. But that's a small sample size.

Just glad we got a 1st, Heineman, and that moving him helped us finish last and ensure a top 3 pick.

It makes you appreciate the performance Price gave us last year even more. He played like a franchise-level talent and carried us to the finals. It was really special.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oettinger drafted 26th overall one pick after Poehling. One is a young established starting goalie, one might become a serviceable 4th liner.

I'm sure the thinking was we have Price on a long-term contract, but he was definitely BPA.

MB's reign was notorious for drafting for need.

 

[BLONG7]

Havan't checked. But, isn't Toffoli known to get into these prolonged goal scoring funks?

Yup...............but when he comes out, he is lights out....so let's hope that doesn't happen soon.
Rooting for Dallas because of my disdain for Looch and Matthew Tkachuk....

 

[MrNasty]

Toffoli was a no show the first few games against Toronto last year too. That goal in I think game 5 was what got him out of his funk. Calgary needs this to happen ASAP
Also their best defensemen in the first 3 games has been Gudbranson and Zadorov...you need these types of guys' in the playoffs

Lehkonen on the positive side has been awesome as expected. He is the 6th most used forward on the Avs

 

[74 others]

If Calgary and Florida lose their series, Calgary’s first round pick would be the 27th if I understand correctly. Assuming that both Colorado and Carolina will win their series. The fact that Calgary has won its division hurts.

Established is a stretch. He has 77 games under his belt.
