GDT: 2022 STANLEY CUP discussion thread Part 8. Final four. New York 6-3(2) vs Tampa Bay 2-2(0) and Colorado 8-4-4(3) vs Edmonton 6-0-2(0)

It took zibanejad ten years to become the player, are you patient?


Gotta find an owner unwilling to extend one of their best rfas because they want too much money.

I've been waiting since 1994 for another Habs cup so I'd say yes I am very patient.

I really hope HuGo can make that Zibanejad type move this offseason. Selling on an older player like Brassard for Zibby was genius.

Next offseason*, we dont want anything this year, this offseason is about "shedding" lol
But eventually it'd be cool to see a big splash yeah

This is reminiscent of what happened last year where we went to 7 against Tor and then swept winnipeg. Teams playing 7 games series are in much better game shape, tampa looks lost

 

[JuicyHam]

They are getting all the bounces and injury lucky, reminds me of us last year.

They easily lose the series against Pittsburgh if the penguins get average goaltending. Such is life though. Good for them taking their opportunities

Zibanejad was a 70+ player at age 26. Before that he was still a ~50pt guy.

Brassard was 28 and Zibby was 24 at the time of trade. Feel like Anderson/Dvorak might be the guys to offer.

That goal woke up Tampa, now tie it.

Technically, it would be shedding since whoever we get back wouldn't be ready to break out. Zibby took a couple years.

If this was between Avs and Oilers, it would be like 8-6 already

 

[JianYang]

I've been saying for years that tampa is a greasy team that also has world class embellished.

You can see them in that 2nd period showing some of those characteristics more explicitly.

 

[sheed36]

Ho hum. Yet another Selke for Bergeron.. His 5th but it seems this is old news now.

 

[MTL-rules]

Trouba putting his team in trouble

 

[sheed36]

Boom!! 2-2

 

[Redux91]

Noooo lol

 

[Belial]

What a nice one-timer!

 

[McGees]

Marroon kept playing with his helmet off - should have been a penalty

 

[MTL-rules]

Price never gets these kind of calls... Pathetic.

 

[Team_Spirit]

RIP Vatrano lmao got beat up for driving the net plus 2 minutes penalty

Tampa will win this game...

 

[Paddyjack]

this was certainly not a goaltender interference lol

 

[Picaroon]

Awesome game. So nice to watch a game where the goalies aren't letting in garbage goals.

 

[BLONG7]

What a nice one-timer!

Hopefully CC was watching............he needs to start doing the exact same.

 

[Rapala]

Damn afternoon game. I missed two frickin periods thinking ECF has to be prime time right?

 

[McGees]

lol Doucherov - make him pay!

 

[Team_Spirit]

Damn afternoon game. I missed two frickin periods thinking ECF has to be prime time right?

Yeah and it's a great game.

Kooch to the box

 

[Belial]

Haha Ducherov...

 

[MTL-rules]

I would f***ing strip the A from his jersey. Trouba is a joke.
