dont f*** this up

 

[lopper]

Don’t f*** this one up now Preds

 

[Ruok]

given the series history, I don't trust the preds whatsoever to win this

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Crazy when they had that stretch of something like 30 plus games of 3 or less.

 

[Porkleaker]

C'non Nashville! You can do it.

 

[TheNumber4]

Of course dumbass jets fans want to trade Kyle Connor. The only semblance of elite skill they had. I know he had a down year, but for an offensively inept team like Winnipeg you hold onto him and hope he gets his game back.

 

[CupofOil]

If the Oilers can't close out the Kings then beat one of these teams just blow it all up in the offseason.

 

[TheNumber4]

Historical Helly performance

They might want to make a change on goaltending too, right? Campbell for Connor, straight up. Then they can trade Helly for Marner or something

 

[oobga]

lol, Soros looked so funny on that Zadorov goal. It's like he didn't believe there was any chance Zadorov would even hit the net.

Hey now, hey now

 

[oobga]

Nashville playing the 5 on 5 PK with 5 mins left. Impressive

 

[VainGretzky]

Yup they should be ending this series with 5 min to play but down 3-1 because of late collapses

Lol. Marner to that wasteland would be pretty funny. Somehow I’m on the fence of adding 8.5M to our cap even if Campbell is out. I’d have to do the math tho.

 

[Shanahanigans]

Vegas did it too, even worse than Colorado did.

Do we have to hope for Dallas? hehe.

More than that I guess you have to hope those 3 teams just beat the hell out of eachother if we made it that far.

Our top pairs and top lines are both among the best in the league so they cancel each other out, if we do end up meeting the series will come down to how Nurse Ceci and the Draisaitl and McLeod lines do against the Avs 2nd pair/2nd line

Yeah, first stretch of multiple years of true competitiveness lets go back to ground zero sounds absolutely moronic.

 

[lopper]

Playoff Petey is soft as f***.

 

[bellagiobob]

My daughters Raggedy Ann doll can stand up longer than Pettersson can.

 

[Ruok]

The Avs were a brutal first round match up though. They are still contenders. The west is much stronger than the east this year.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

The Jets are the Canadian Minnesota Wild. A team that exists as a free pass to round two. Yes know we lost to them. Even the Wild win a series every so often.

Feel the same. My concerns about our team basically the same as last year. Holland decided not to improve a key area that absolutely killed us. ALl we can do is hope this time is different I guess.




What are you doing Nashville. Boeser completely wide open right in front of Soros.

 

[TheNumber4]

HOLD SAROS HOLD. Prove you ain’t overrated too.

 

[Cloned]

Canucks are like +250 to tie this based on their PDO this year

 

[oobga]

Yeah, Avs were on their game that series. The only thing that could kill them was goaltending and they upped their defensive game to insulate Georgiev to boot. Jets are just not that good. Needed miracles to win if the Avs were playing well. None to be had, and Helly was off his game most of the series.

 

[TheNumber4]

Nucks offence has really REGRESSED.
