GDT: Around the League 2023-24: The Marathon Becomes A Sprint

[brentashton]

Such a weird league.

Boston can’t get a shot.

Canes pounding the Islanders.

I remember when the first round was exciting. Maybe I am just getting old. The games haven’t felt as competitive.

Dallas/Vegas is only series that is tied.

Agreed. In my opinion this has been one of the worst first rounds in recent years, for excitement and intensity of games. Both, East and West. cant put my finger on why.

Ok. Always one to give a wrong impression. I've been to NYC but not the Gardens. Wonder why Philly has the shittiest ones though. Through all their teams. Did that start with the Broadstreet Bully days?

I don’t know the answer. It just has a rep of being a tough sports fan town. Even Seravelli was mentioning that in the last few weeks on his pod.

Man I love watching Nylander. Guy is full of talent.

Meanwhile, was watching Woodcroft clip on Kyper and Bourne, and hes like “Watching this first round, the things that stands out is how competitive the games are”. Its like lol wut. Games just feel lopsided one way or other. Only been a couple OT games. None of the series are that close. I remember last year was similar. One team blows out other team. Next game is a blow out for other team. Think was more close series than this year though. Not many individual competitive games that go back and forth.

In case anyone was wondering that song was written by Lou Reed and sung by Nico, from this massively overrated / boring album:

So irritating. Do not download from Napster…

Nico.

Inspired one of my favourite Jackson Browne songs. These Days

I thinks she sang a version of it too.

Edit - when I was sixteen I was drinking Pilsner and driving backroads in Sask. I wasn’t writing gems like this.

This leafs/ bruins game is boring as f***

That is in my vinyl collection. I love Lou Reed and have covered a few songs.

 

[FlameChampion]

Florida is going to drub either of these two teams. Waste of 10 days.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Lou Reed as well, and John Cale….but Nico is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Awesome to have another vinyl collector here.

Go Bruins
Go Jets
Go Preds

He also said he wanted to study trends.

Why not study the trends of the team that had a points % of almost 80% since November.

Was so arrogant lol. Maybe he should watch a KK/PC defensive structure that he couldn’t implement. Or maybe learn how to implement a PK from Stuart, YOUR assistant lolz.

Why not do both and be fully rounded? That would be more educational and more impressive to those he’s trying to impress.

Woodshaft is a poser.

Woodshaft is a poster.

I think he's into psychology. He seems the type to close a chapter and move on to the next.

 

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

Just saw that kuznetsov penalty shot goal f*** do I hate that but I get why it works, how often do goalies see that in a game? Or even practice

Probably posted already too lazy to scroll but finally someone has the guts to call out the rigged league

I thought both goals being disallowed was fine. I remember being taught to stay out of the crease when I was like 5 years old. Maybe Cooper should explain that to his players.

 

[oobga]

Wow. Linesman just tackled Marchand lol

The old reverse Wideman

2nd goal he was outside the crease

 

[gordonhught]

That penalty shot goal of Kuznetsov’s is a absolute mockery of hockey. Just gross.
And f*** the Canes while I’m at it.

The goalie should have just gave up the goal and slashed Kuz in the knee.

 

[OilerTyler]

2nd goal he was outside the crease

He was definitely in the crease

 

[VainGretzky]

hahah holy hell! This is amazing hahahahaha

The 2nd one is AI but funny anyhow and the truth

He was definitely in the crease

1st goal I meant Duclair was trying to escape it was a weak call

 

[brentashton]

Hey Boston.

Please put these losers out of my misery, so I can switch channels and cheer the Jets on against those turds from Denver. (Admitted soft spot for Rick Bowness).

Ya I want the Jets thru I thought the Leafs would takeout Boston but I should have realized the Laffs never fail to entertain

 

[BlackDogg]

Do we want happy Debrusk or grouchy Debrusk tomorrow?
