Series Talk: All-purpose around the league playoff talk thread.

[Superstar]

Where was Dubas when CAR signed Maenalanen last May? Nice free wallet signing by Waddell.

I hope Korshkov becomes a good middle-sixer...

Working on the Nylander contract...

Winner of bruins/Jackets series is going to win the cup.

McBackup is a beast! I want this guy to get a cup

 

[mcleex]

McBackup keeps making Dubass look more and more like a Dubass

I never understood why people disliked him. He always played well for the team but then you come in here and people were bashing the guy. One of the most solid backups I've seen in my time watching hockey.

Hope Babcock is watching this. Canes don't give them 2 seconds with the puck. It's a swarm

You need to have an aggressive pursuit team from start to finish.

It involves a lot more things than just being “elite”.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

well deserved sweep. f*** you islanders.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Good riddance. John Tavares still took the Islanders farther than they've been since '93.

Working on the Nylander contract...

Don't you mean CAVING on the Nylander contract?

 

[Superstar]

Don't you mean CAVING on the Nylander contract?

That was 9 months later...Lou taught him to use the time when he has it, right?

Like focusing on the puck and not the buck, right?

 

[willmma]

Islanders are out.
I want the Bruins out.

I don't care after that.

 

[notDatsyuk]

You mean 2016, when they made it the same distance (the quarter finals), winning one more games and losing two more?

That's a pretty lame 'farther'.

That's a pretty lame 'farther'.

It’s technically correct though. The best kind of correct.

 

[Morbo]

Lou the genius GM and his brilliant outfoxing of Dubas to grab Matt Martin and Komarov really paid off huge.

Let's see if they get .930 goaltending again next season. I'm going to guess "no".

 

[DarkKnight]

Must be nice to have an experienced goalie, great in the room, a coaches dream, who can come in and save the day when needed. If only we could get one of those....oh wait.

Sums it up. Babcock said something like, you put two kids in a room with a ball, for some reason one kid has it all the time, well, he just wants it more.

Pretty much how it works with hockey. Just look how determined CAR was, they gave no time, no space. CBJ was like that last series as well.

 

[Cor]

Imagine being TWS.

 

[Morbo]

Imagine being TWS.

Or Mess.

Contrary to what you may believe, players dont always pick Toronto....

Someone always needs to be controversial. I for one want McBackup to win because by all accounts he was a great guy and a great teammate. It's petty to want him to win to make our GM look bad when he would have changed absolutely nothing for us this season.

 

[Havoc]

You gotta be kidding.
Carolina barely made the playoffs and now you talk like they are the model franchise?
Nonsense.

lol you're absolutely ridiculous man. I'm scared to even reply to you.

I did not suggest anything of the sort. Just providing an example of something they do different than us.

Since we're on the topic though, you'd be a fool not to analyze Carolina...seeing as they coasted their way through the semifinals and are now one matchup away from entering the finals.

Beat the Caps and an Isles team that swept the Pens. You're telling me it's not worth looking into ? Get out of here with that garbage talk.

it's not like it mattered. Andersen was a wall until game 7 anyway

Oh Game 7, on the road

Go stare at your Sparks poster lol.
