Around the League

I dunno I could see any of those guys going to another team and lighting it up in the playoffs. Nylander was good last year and well only has played 1 game so far, so don't really think that guy is an issue.

I would kill for either of them.

Yeah last night looked like he was clenching the cheeks to make sure he didn't shit himself or something. That's I'm gonna blow skating style.

Toronto’s roster is pathetic outside of their core forwards. They’ve completely failed to make substantial improvements to D or in net.

They're still tanking, just in a different way.

Gotta lose so they can improve their draft position.

…oh wait…

IMO they should have torn down the minute they drafted Matthews. Marner being drafted a whole year earlier meant the timeline was all wrong. Everyone knows all of your best players have to be born on the exact same day.

I'm surprised to see this was only nyquists 6th goal in 70+ playoff games

 

[Bench]

I haven't been watching but it's nice to see that Washington's reward for winning the tiebreaker is getting dumpstered by the Rangers.

May very well have happened to us so at least we'll get a better draft pick lol.

True. But wouldn't it be more fitting that the Priority Waste Management Red Wings™ got dumpstered by the Rangers?

We'd take at least one game from them.

Washington basically jumped into our bed and prematurely ejaculated.

 

[PullHard]

Absolutely dreadful for the league that Washington made it in over us or even the Pens who were playing pretty good hockey down the stretch

What a nothing series

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Not that he looked like a force either in the reg season, but Ovi had a extra stank of lazy this playoff. I guess if they don't count towards the record screw it right?

If i was a wings player i would be even more frustrated after watching that caps team do absolutely nothing. Rangers basically got a 1st round bye

I only watched this last game but it's crazy how unengaged he was. Imagine the laziest most selfish guy in drop in hockey and double it, that's how he looked.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Not that we would have pulled off the 1st round upset, but we absolutely would have shown more life than the Caps.

 

[jkutswings]

Hopefully that whimper is the official ending of Washington being out of the lottery, and Detroit can keep improving to provide an actual playoff team that plays like one.

It isn't Washington's fault we voluntarily sat in the "cuck chair" as it were.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Caps are in a weird spot. They overachieved and goalied their way into the last playoff spot. The remaining old guard didn't show much in those 4 playoff games.

But they have some young pieces already up and in the system that can help retool on the fly. But with the way they play, can they really count on Lindgren again to be as good as he was?

So Alexander semin. Or Jakub Vrana

Tampa is out, eh?

The Panthers look like a wagon. I could see them winning it this year.

yeah panthers should be the clear favorite at this point

Gonna be a fascinating offseason for the lightning. They are very clearly on the decline from their peak years. Do they continue to roll with an aging core like pittsburgh has or do they break it up?

 

[Oddbob]

TB's window closing?

 

[jkutswings]

I don't think Tampa is done in the same way that a Calgary or a St Louis are likely done. I think it's a combination of Florida being that good and Tampa having played so many playoff games over the last several years.

But hey, if it makes them an easier target for a trade this summer, I won't say no.

I also think Vasi is off because of his surgery. Time will tell if that has somewhat wrecked his career or he bounces back. He wasn't good all year after missing the first 2 months.
