GDT: Around The League: 2024 Playoffs Edition Round 2- “Oh, You Didn’t Know? You’re Ass Better Call SOMEBODY!!!!!”

[Fixed to Ruin]

The better team finally had enough and closed it out

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I also love the Kreider hat trick in the 3rd because I have been very critical of the way the Hurricanes play with their billion shots from the outside. They basically lost the game and series to the guy who scores all his goals from the difficult areas in front of the blue paint.

Is Nurse injured? Has he played since he blocked that shot

 

[Stoneman89]

Same old, same old for Canes. They play a high shot volume game, mostly because they don't have any superstars who can break through. They have a batch of really good players, led by Aho, and then a bunch of muckers. No Panarins, Pastrnaks or Kucherovs on that team.
Mind you, we're the opposite. Two superstars who can't find their way around their own end, and way too many useless fillers on both forward and defence and inconsistent goaltending. Both producing the same kind of results consistently.

They were truly hoping Guentzel would be that guy to bring that one shot offense to change a game, but he just ended up like the rest of the team. Gets points at times, but when you throw them over the boards you never get that impression that they are going to get something to happen on any given shift like a true superstar that takes the team on his back.

Kreider is a beauty, I wanted him a few years back when his contract expired and there was talk of him moving on. Guy has incredible wheels and shows a lot of heart.
He would’ve looked great with McD, two guys who can fly.

They may actually have a team there now. But Treliving is still there to sewer potential roster moves.

I guess this means Woody is off to Jersey. oof for Jersey

WC Final likely to begin May 23.

 

[Messrules11]

C’mon B’s push it to 7, I think the Rangers will fare better against the B’s

WC Final likely to begin May 23.

If the WC Finals falls down in a forest with the Oilers not playing can we hear it?

 

[Stoneman89]

Have to laugh at the clowns in the Boston/Florida telecast calling it "vicious". J.T. Miller has had more slashes in 5 minutes than they get in an entire game. The Boston series (Sam Bennett excepted) looks like figure skating compared to what the Canucks are getting away with in ours.

 

[jesusbuiltmyhotrod]

Florida gets away with way more than Boston has such a poorly officiated series

Tin foil hat off but I can’t shake the feeling that series management is a thing and certain teams are getting a slight boost here and there to “grow the game” (tough luck for the hapless Canes I guess haha)

Speaking of which…

Boston done

ECF going to be a war

WCF going to be one sided as f***

 

[Messrules11]

Well, looks like I’ll give my hate for sunbelt teams a refresher, not to mention Tkachuk

 

[BlackDogg]

Kind of nice to see Boston out now. They've outlived their usefullness.

I dunno, there's a lot of positive energy going into willing the Oilers to win.

Personally, I don't see it. They don't have the drive nor the chemistry nor the pieces.

 

[McShogun99]

Bruins lose the series and the Boston fans are chanting Swayman’s name. I doubt the Oiler fans will be chanting Skinner’s name if we lose.

 

[BlackDogg]

Bruins literally got skinnered in the final two minutes

Yup, backup plan is for the best teams remaining to advance. Dallas needs to finish it up tonight to ensure the riots are on time. Georgiev is hardly better than Skinner. If the Oilers advance and they can’t beat the Stars then meh

Whoever gets the GM job should be begging Boston for whichever goalie they decide to move on from.
