GDT: Around the League 2023-24 Volume 4: Stretch Drive Edition

[foshizzle]

Getting passed by the WNBA now. Lol.

Gary Bettman, man. Other leagues promote their stars- the NHL is stuck on game management and making sure the star players can be hooked, tripped, slashed. No one wants to watch third line plumbers and refs be stars of the show

 

[Tobias Kahun]

If we’re going down, you’re coming with us!

Now watch e-Calgary play with their goalie pulled for the entire first period to let Vancouver build up a 15 goal lead.

As someone with EP and Hughes in my fantasy finals.

I wouldn't be the most upset.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Philly had to pull the goalie to have a shot. Not sure why anyone think it’s “gifting.”

Though it is funny it screwed the penguins. Imagine doing that to the flames.

 

[oobga]

Leafs fans starting to have pretty bad flashbacks right about now lmao.

Matthews just standing on the offensive blue line all night long? Florida must be making it a point of pride to keep him off the scoresheet lol

 

[CupofOil]

Ehh, Philly had to win in regulation to have any hope at 8th. The Flyers just did what they had to

I'm sure they knew before he pulled the goalie that they were eliminated. The Wings goal happened at least a few minutes before to my recollection. Maybe I'm wrong though, it all happened so fast.

Because Philly was already mathematically eliminated the second Detroit went to OT. They probably didn't realize it yet because it only happened like 2 minutes prior though.

As someone with EP and Hughes in my fantasy finals.

I wouldn't be the most upset.

Unless they pulled a McDavid and only got in on 2 points out of 9 .

 

[BlackDogg]

Will Toronto pull their goalie?

 

[Tobias Kahun]

It would be hilarious if the NHL came down on Philly for "competitive integrity" when they let Vegas roll into the playoffs with 100m roster.

 

[FlameChampion]

Washington is so boring haha. Rangers going to roll them. Don’t get an easier series than that.

Detroit fans are probably gutted. Pretty sh*tty way to lose a playoff spot lol. Maybe next year the Yzerplan works.

 

[CupofOil]

Go... Calgary. Ugh, I feel like dousing my eyes in acid after seeing that typed out.

 

[Captain Fantastic]

Not into gambling but the NHL would be the last league I'd bet on. Shoddy .

 

[FlameChampion]

Toronto smart losing this game. Chances they beat Florida are slim. They have a better shot against Boston imo. But I don’t think that high of Boston.

 

[oobga]

69 is actually the perfect amount of goals for The Midnight Mooner.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

2/16 teams have a negative goal differential and they’re not even close to being near even. Washington with -37 and NYI with -18. The next closest teams are Nashville and TBay at +21.

Now watch one of Washington or the Islanders pull off a 1st round upset.

 

[oobga]

Leafs gonna pull the goalie to try to get Matthews #70?

 

[Oilhawks]

Yzerplan status: Still in progress

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Wings kinda deserved it after the heroics, was great to watch. Maybe next year

not really

they needed miracle comebacks 2 nights in a row to a dogshit Habs team

they had the easiest path and blew it

 

[Ritchie Valens]

69 is actually the perfect amount of goals for The Midnight Mooner.

I was hoping this was game 82 for them but they got one left. TBay probably going to sit Vasilevsky too.

Ah dang. Respect the 69 Tampa

 

[FlameChampion]

Yzerplan status: Still in progress

Detroit would of been a hell of a lot more exciting than the caps, but it is hilarious watching the Yzerplan fail.

 

[Porkleaker]

Toronto gonna get swept. Florida series makes sense, travel and the strip clubs and whatnot is all easier. Matthews will choke at 69

For Philly, screwing over the Penguins makes that bet win-win. If it worked, they have a chance to make the playoffs. If it doesn't, you screw over the Pens.

Said it on the mains but I would not be surprised at all if Torts told everybody to ignore the OoT and just go out and win. I'd bet all he knew was that the Flyers needed regulation wins.

“We want Florida”
