Haven't been outcoached in any series thus far, just sayin'

Considering that I did not watch the game and so that hit, considering that I do not really know what "Circle back" mean, your post the one I want to read.

When you return to something/somewhere (it's like an idiom related to pioneer/outdoor life)

Thank you
Sometimes it's really hard to understand everything
Btw, Coop will evaluate the Point conditions in 2 days but, according to Burns, they managed him in the final part of the game to avoid something really bad.
So, probably, he was out only for a precautional reason.

if we do close out this series who would you guys rather face in the scf?

It is quite nice after so many let downs. Cooper - apparently - is learning from his mistakes and growing.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Pulock's effort on the EN goal was pretty lacklustre. Fatigue must be really setting in for those guys.

EDIT: Maybe it's Pelech. I can't tell by the way the announcer said the name.

If I'm being completely honest, I think Tampa walks through either of them.

 

[DFC]

It feels like we're the only team left that can defend and score in the same game.

Great and hard question.
Dallas has big names like Seguin,Benn, Radulov and Pavelski...But also Klingberg and a goalie, Khudobin, that is really hot so far.
Vegas is a protected team I suppose, so we'll have another time an awful officiating. About the ice they're a skilled and a speedy team.
To be honest, I don't know...

Dallas, absolutely. Vegas has been playing great hockey, Dallas is being held afloat by Khudobin.
Advanced stats show Dallas probably shouldn't even be where they are by the way they played so far

my mind set is finish this series and get Brayden point as healthy as possible I hope Vegas gets it to 7 games vs dallas! But I’d rather play the stars

 

[Volodya Krutov]

How Tampa continue to steam roll teams when we are missing Rutta, stamkos, and have a not 100% Brayden Point, Hedman taking every shift, TJ and Rocco not playing as well and everyone forgetting about Dre.

Not even surprised anymore. Elated

Are you trying to give credit to Cooper in some ways ?

Dallas goaltenders - mostly Khudobin - have stopped 123/129 shots against Las Vegas. A .953 Sv%. This isn't complicated. If we get to the Final, Dallas is the preferable opponent of the two.

The only real thing I would wonder about with Dallas is whether Bishop honestly will come healthy or not. Because, if Khudobin's hot streak does eventually peter off a little bit, turning to Bishop (revenge factor et al) would be one hell of a piece to turn to. But if he's just not in good enough condition to go, then we don't really have to worry about. Obviously we know about as well as anyone what an absolute unit Bishop can be when the stakes are at the highest.

Vegas have outplayed the stars but they have no finishers. The Stars to us will be similar to playing Boston.

EZPZ?

Probably Dallas is not a one line team like Boston is.
The Stars roster is deeper than the Bruins one I think.
So, it'd be an harder series imho.

Bowness vs Cooper


Lol who saw that coming?

 

[Sky04]

Pat Maroon is sooo good in his role. If he doesn't re-sign with us I can see contenders lining up to sign this guy.

Bowness vs Cooper


Lol who saw that coming?

Which is the student and which is the teacher?

Yup. Blew your GD mind.

I have been Jonathon D Cooper's biggest fan on this here forum since forever.

Oh wow lol that’s big time pressure on cooper lol and brisebois they fired bowness .

 

[Discipline]

Yup. Blew your GD mind.

And Bowness was fired because of special teams and defense... hmm......

 

[Coburn and Condra]

Stars in 7 is the ideal scenario.

But let's win this series first please.

 

[Werewolf]

Yes, the Lightning played well. However, kudos to the forum warriors on the main threads crushing it every game. Lightning dominating the Isles on the ice ... and our Lightning fans dominating the Isles fans on the forums. Pleasure to see...on and off the ice - total domination. LOL

 

[Coburn and Condra]

I know it's been mentioned before but the Bruins board meltdown after every Bolts win is truly something to behold.

Their hatred of us is so over the top. Lightning players and fans live in those guys heads rent-free and have for some time now.
