Around the League - 2023/24

I gotta say I'm really impressed by the Caps. A bunch of grinders coming together under the leadership of the greatest goal scorer of all time. Commitment to defense, team work, and a goalie playing out of his mind. Noice!

 

[Balthazar]

Gotta sting to lose a playoff spot because of a tie breaker

 

[Avs_19]

Amazing. Wings having that snatched away in that way is perfect.

They are 27th in goal differential.

That team is going to get f****d ass backwards vs NYR or Carolina. 4 game sweep, likely 3 blowouts.

 

[MacKaRant]

Call me old fashioned, but I got a ton of schadenfraude from watching the Red Wings win the shootout and then realize they were still out.

It's the Rangers. And it's Tom Wilson. Who knows what could happen to throw that series off kilter.

Brother. That team is bad. Badder than bad.

I honestly think this might be one of the worst playoff teams in the last 30 years, maybe more. They are going to get annihilated.

Well, when you win in regulation less than 1/3 of the games, you don't deserve to make the playoffs. f*** the Wings and their mediocre team.

Yea but the carnage Wilson and Trouba could leave in their wake will be a sight to behold. I mean I’m not pleased with this because I wanted someone who will give the Rags trouble but I hope Wilson at least softens them up and then some

The only reason I can think of why the Rangers aren’t even top 5 cup favorites based on betting sites after winning the presidents trophy is because they don’t have Georgiev and hung on to the wrong goalie instead in Shesterkin

This isn't the Wilson from 5 years ago

Who cares, just making the playoffs is an overachievement. It's the dedication they played with that is impressive.

I don't think they'll win but if not even top 5 they are a smart bet.

Which is why they're going to beat the Rangers, hockey gods love chaos. I also need it for my entertainment

Did PHI really f*** over the Wings by not knowing the out of town scores? What is the exact timeline here?

It was within a minute or so.

Matthews should have had 3 tonight

I think they just simply needed a regulation win and both games were pretty much ending at the same time

For everyone's sake I hope Wilson ragdolls Panarin again

They needed a regulation win, and with 3 minutes left, tied, they went for it. Maybe a minute or so too early, but they really had no choice.

 

[henchman21]

Florida looks like the team… they haven’t been at their best of late, but they are such a complete team that should thrive in the playoffs. I’m still a bit iffy on Bob, but they have Stolarz who is decent insurance.

 

[avalanche_country]

Avs can pack their bags for WIN

I think they did that after they lost to Columbus and Montreal

 

[BaconNater]

Avs can pack their bags for WIN

Might be worth resting all the starters until Game 3

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Oh man, FLA/TBL and BOS/TOR is absolutely amazing. Seriously cant wait for the first round, no better time to be a hockey fan then those round 1 matchups IMO.


On another note, Avs dont even get home ice in round 1. What a f***ing terrible end to the season after banging out the 9 game win streak after the deadline.


I seriously have even less confidence in this team winning a round then last years. I think we get embarrassed by the Jets in ~5 games.
