Around the league: Playoffs II | Did I mention Calgary sucks? And also Winnipeg?

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Wonder if we can sign Dzingel
He just had a career year of 56 pts in 78 games with two teams
41 pts in 17-18 so it’s not a total fluke
27 years old already so he’s probably looking for term.
It’s probably cost us 7 years at 5.5~6 AVV
But consider our lack of depth on the left side, I will do it if we can get rid of Eriksson first.

I was hoping Eberle was someone we could target on a not too unreasonable contract to ride shotgun with either Pettersson or Horvat, as he had had a somewhat pedestrian regular season. But this playoff performance is going to shoot his value way up.

Leafs pretty much destroying the Bruins. You just knew they would take the series if they got the PP going. I dont see any remaining aside from Washington taking them out.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Marner is just so much goddamn fun to watch.

If CBJ play the same was as they are against TB I could see them having a chance of overrunning the Leafs.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Wow the Caps decided to take a game off.

uhhh, what?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

uhhh, what?

Bostons top line has been neutralized. Getting nothing accomplished. Leafs bottom 6 looks miles better. Bruins are getting exposed for the slow old team they are. It's fun watching Backes and Chara get beaten on Leaf rushes.

Nice to see skill and speed winning over the bs Bruins hockey.

 

[Throwback]

Vitali Kravtsov, 9th overall pick of the New York Rangers last year, was born in Vladivostok, Russia. Does this make him the highest drafted Asian born playe?

I think so, since Nik Antropov (Kazakhstan) was drafted 10th overall in 1998, just from quick searching.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

God f***ing help us if the Leafs go on a run.

They won’t be able to afford Marner. He’s easily their best player. Those blocks were insane.

The game was as even as you can get
No idea what you are talking about

Calling the Bruins slow and old is like saying the Canucks is a high possession team

I think they'll figure out a way to keep him. just a hunch.

we're all losers when it comes to this boston/toronto series. With Tampa out of the way the winner could go to the final. you hate to see it

Can’t f***ing believe Tampa and Pittsburgh shit the bed so badly.

Islanders/Leafs would be insane though.

They will probably somehow get rid of Marleau, Kadri and Zaitsev and infuse their depth with a young cast of players on their ELC. This is how a competent franchise operates.

Sign players for 3mil+ contracts to fill the bottom 6? LOL.

 

[Fire Benning]

yikes

 

[Paulinvancouver]

f*** the leafs.

 

[Hit the post]

**** the leafs.

I’d actually rather be celibate.

The bruins are not even that much of a "bruins hockey" club any more. Marchand is still an AH. Chara is still Chara but he's more mellow. Thornton is gone, Lucic is gone, McQuaid is gone. Fighting wise they have dropped from 71 in 2010-11 to 26 in 18-19. That still is the most but fighting is down.

Also speed wise, they are as fast as any team in the league
Many of their players are young and fast

And they well below average height and weight even with Chara skewing the stats.

The Big Bad Bruins have been replaced with Small Good Bruins.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

this Dallas game does NOT feel like a playoff game.

 

[timw33]

Cale Makar is having himself a debut.

 

[Fire Benning]

Time for the Flames to go to Rittich, going to piss away this series with old man Smith.

 

[mossey3535]

Mike Smith is doing his Mike Smith thing again. Nice to see his first good game but Peters need to have a short leash on him. But I also think Peters shat the bed with his goalies in carolina.

lets see Quinn Hughes vs Jack Hughes vs Cale Makar for Rookie of the year in 2019/2020 season
