Around the League - Stanley Cup Edition

[SeaOfBlue]

Neither Vegas, nor Avs lose in round one. If there is an upset, it’s the Islanders proceeding.

Minnesota had a 5-1-2 record against Vegas this year. Vegas winning one game in regulation does not bode well for their chances.

They'll make it work but they're entering a tight cap situation soon with their talented players coming up on contracts.

Even with those three making those amounts they need to fill 11 other rosters spots.

I wonder if they would move on from Sam Girard as a cap luxury.

 

[Stephen]

Tampa gets to add Stamkos and Kucherov to the lineup. Highly doubtful.

I normally like Tampa Bay but this year I'm cheering for Florida to knock them out.

Oilers Out of Town Thread has been dormant of Leafs talk for about day.

edit: never mind. They are talking Leafs in their GTD thread.

thanks for the free parking boys!!

 

[Menzinger]

What a beauty

 

[3blizzard4]

LMAO OILERS!

Mike Smith proving once again he is the real MVP

Yeah, I figure they'll come out of that first round round as well

Dang we were fortunate Vancouver took Vesey off our hands.. what a terrible player. Not skilled enough to be in top 6 and not enough work ethic to be in bottom 6.

Caps Bruins could be the best series of the 1st round. Great teams with great coaches too.

 

[leafsfan5]

Might be a bit bold but I have Boston in 5 this series, the depth scoring they picked up with Hall is huge. Krejci has 21 points in 16 games since Hall has been on his wing

 

[Menzinger]

I hate Boston so much. As much as the Capitals have become unlikeable due to Wilson's clown antics, I hope they sweep the Bruins

 

[stickty111]

Man what a pace so far

Nice to see the Bruins as the beta team as far as the bully factor, their pack mentality chippiness is neutered and Chara isn’t there to be the nuclear deterrent.

 

[garce]

Lol and Wilson

 

[stickty111]

Of course Wilson opens the scoring

 

[Guided by Veseys]

I think I want Boston to win because I would like for the Leafs to get a chance to beat on them. I’m finding it really hard to cheer for the Bruins though. I guess it’s a double win because I’m cheering for any hit.

 

[MSZ]

Craig Anderson is in goal now. Boy oh boy.

 

[stickty111]

Boston has got away with 2 penalties

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Hrudey is such a tool

 

[Jozay]

What a weird take.

He must not like the guy lol

 

[stickty111]

What a weird take.

Lol he's awful.

 

[stickty111]

I'm sorry, I'm not impressed with Mantha

 

[Jozay]

Anderson is trash

This Caps / Bruins game is carrying some nice intensity. These teams are built to play this way... I love their team makeup.

Excited (and anxious) for our boys to get the ball rolling on Thursday! I hope they can find a way to bring a similar intensity.
