Around the League Volume 5 - Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition

[Gallagbi]

Man, been waiting for ever for a Carolina v Columbus Eastern Conference Final.... said no one.... ever.

I'd much rather CAR win than NYI though, even if they are a bunch'a'jerks.

Still think BOS can beat CLB but they need to pick it up.

Don't mind CLB, but Carolina bores me

 

[Superstar]

Carolina has McBackup and Mr. Game 7.

We have Marleau and Sparks... LOL.

Dubas knows better, right? Overrode Babcock's desire to keep McBackup and forces Sparks down his throat. Carolina doesn't even make the playoffs without McBackup.

Too many jerks?

 

[yubbers]

Be awesome, I like the guy from interviews. Seems like a good guy, how can't you cheer for him?

He wa sa customer at my shop. Nicest dude ever.

Typical leaf luck. We sign a career loser in Marleau (respectable stats but never won anything) and go with the goalie we used to tank for Matthews as our backup.

Canes sign Mr. Game 7 and conn smythe winner Justin Williams as their leader “vet”. Game winner tonight and assisted the game 7 OT winner against Washington. They then pickup Mcbackup who was solid for us, and made that massive 1 timer save on Crosby to clinch us a playoff spot in Matthews’ rookie year.

Dubas has been eating lots of crow for that decision. Wonder if he is also losing sleep over not dealing Nylander for a Canes' RHD+ before being taken to the woodshed by Willie.

Isles definitely looking like a team that didn't need Tavares. They are scoring one goal per game at the moment.

McElhinney getting a ring would be just great. Another kick in the nuts from the hockey Gods to Leafs Nation.

In a perfect world, McElhinney wins the Conn Smythe. I would enjoy that very much.

Islander fans saying they don't need Tavares: karma.

Why?
Did you want him to play Boston?

If Andy got hurt and sparks blew game 7 sure. But come on. MAC was irrelevant to our season. We had home ice against Boston and lost game 6.

There is nothing that would have changed that. Other than Mac leading us to a 63 win season

The one who just scored in his own net? Really?

Whewwww look at that DAL rink lighting. Shadows pulse flicker when the do slow motion. Man is that even legit lol. Pop some of that shady LED lighting flickering at the opponents end lol, poor tender.

 

[Peiskos]

The way Islander fans treated JT in his return? I’m very much a believer of the Hockey Gods, it was classless and disgusting, as a result they’re going to get bounced.

 

[Carltons Cup]

It's so awesome to see McBackup doing so well. Great team guys like him deserve it.

I liked McElhinney, but the amount of crying over a backup is insane.

Makes no sense

They're pissed that they didn't get anything for him, mostly their GMs fault though. Give him a deadline and then if he hasn't signed, you sell him prior to the deadline. GM 101 stuff.

If that were true, don't you think they would have been bounced in the 1st round? Not only bounced, but, trounced too.

No trade, like we gave Matthews in Y5
