Around the League Volume 5 - Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition

[Superstar]

Flames looked like a decent team for half of game 1 and 10 minutes of game 4. Avs have thoroughly dominated them otherwise

So glad they are getting schooled. Hopefully the Avs pour it on

Up 4-1 in elimination game at the tail end of the 2nd period...I would say they ARE pouring it on!

Worst lead in hockey

 

[I Believe]

Both #1 seeds about to get eliminated in the 1st round. Don't think i've ever seen that one before.

Lucky f***ing Avs. Wish we got to play against Mike Smith in the playoffs. Free points for everyone.

Even Connor Brown would have a couple goals.

Wasn't even like it was close either. One was swept, the other in 5.

Even funnier is multiple number 2 seeds could be gone as well. Winnipeg, Boston, San Jose... Islanders may be the only ones who make it through. Even better is ALL number 1 seeds could be out. Nashville and Washington are getting it from Dallas and Carolina respectively.

I said it yesterday, the Islanders may be the only higher ranked seed to make it past the first round this year. Otherwise, it was all of the teams without home ice advantage.

Mike Smith is like their best player in this series. He's the only reason why they've ever looked like they could have had a chance in that series.

Calgary's defense is just atrocious.

Yzerman is set to rejoin Detroit.

Not sure if serious. Avs have destroyed the Flames in every aspect possible. Scoring chances galore for the Avs and the Flames simply had no answer

Mike Smith was the least of their worries.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

Feel bad for the Flames. They need their big stars to show up and they didn't.

Hopefully Jets get knocked off, caps get knocked off and the predators get knocked off. Make these playoffs interesting.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Good riddance, Calgary!!!

Just need the Jets to take a lap and all will be good.

 

[leburn98]

These playoffs have been friggin' crazy.

 

[brianok]

My Mistake earlier------------The Boston Toronto winner will play Columbus

 

[mallory67]

I still think our destiny is to play the Islanders this year.
The Hockey Gods demand it.

Hence we beat Boston and Columbus.

Calgary's defense is just atrocious.

No it is by far the deepest and best in the league.

I live here and hear that almost every morning on the way to work.

Avs destroyed them, and Gaudreau and Monahan were irrelevant.

And I believe they've put a search party out for Tkachuk.

Interesting that he got away with more in the regular season and was just a punk in the playoffs. Thanks Kadri!

I meant in the series. I would say the same thing about Tampa's offense in the playoffs, and clearly they had no troubles scoring in the regular season.

Hockey gods would let the Isles win as retribution for Tavares' betrayal though.

 

[weems]

Byfuglien sucks.

Dude routinely gets exposed in the playoffs.

 

[socko]

I'm so jealous of Detroit getting Yzerman. This is where he puts to bed the notion he needed Tampa's taxes and weather. He's great at his job which sucks for the Leafs as he's now in our division.

 

[Leaf4Life]

Great to see Jets playing like garbage. Their arrogant fan base needs to get knocked down a few pegs.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

How do the Jets have six shots? Is it that lopsided?

 

[Suntouchable13]

This is probably Maurice's last game as head coach of the Jets.

 

[Vaive50]

Good riddance, Calgary!!!

Just need the Jets to take a lap and all will be good.

It's as good as done now with 10 minutes to go, Blues up 3-0 and being outshot 34-11. Well it looks like the Leafs are the only Canadian team left. I remember that thread about rating which Canadian team will be the first to win the cup, the only answers I remember were Winnipeg and Calgary.

 

[weems]

This is probably Maurice's last game as head coach of the Jets.

He's not their biggest problem.

Their D is very slow and not very good at transitioning the puck either with their feet or passing.

They have a very good forward core but their D is massively overrated.

I know many on this board would love our team to be built more like them but now two years in a row they've been taken out by a quicker team (St Louis has gotten faster this year).

 

[Pi]

We better be shaking hands tomorrow. Can’t take another game 7.

He was always in our division lol.
