OT: Around the NHL - Dallas/Tampa

[Gurglesons]

Not really. He was, but not now.

Well, he's not Marian Stone.

 

[Lando929292]

I think Dallas takes it tbh I feel like Tampa is struggling with injuries and could see Dallas’ play style easily taking out Point and Hedman.

So there play style is to injure key players or??

Nah. They're just a big physical forward group.

 

[Ryder71]

I imagine you never watched prime Benn then.

Have you watched Kucherov? You know what he did last year right? You know he's tied with Point leading the league in playoff scoring, yes?

Yeah. Been backing the Lightning since they made the Cup Finals prior to you posting on here despite being a hockey fan since 1967.

Jamie Benn is everything I love in a forward not named Alexei Kovalev and I rode him to several fantasy hockey wins before he won his Ross.

Kucherov is the better player. And honestly, by a decent margin. But you're new to this process because you're only 18 or 19 years old. You'll learn, it'll take some time though.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I hope Tampa murders the Stars.

Dallas Stars and their fans can suck it.

I'm with you!

 

[Gurglesons]

Kucherov is the better player. And honestly, by a decent margin. But you're new to this process because you're only 16 years old. You'll learn, it'll take some time though.

If I'm sixteen does that make you three lol.

 

[Ryder71]

If I'm sixteen does that make you three lol.

My apologies you're 18. And Yes I'm exactly three years old. You are correct. According to you I was born in 1967 or before, now I'm three years old. You're all over the place.

If I was 18 that means I joined HF when I was six.

 

[Ryder71]

If I was 18 that means I joined HF when I was six.

That's more plausible than your inane notion suggesting I am only three years old, considering I joined back in 2017 (under this name). That would conceivably mean I was just born. If that's the case I'd be like a God.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

That’s not a fun take, mate.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Even if Tampa finally wins, they still will have a legacy of the most talented team over a long period who did so little with that talent. They and the Caps both should have multiple cups given the teams that they iced year after year.

Oh for sure mate. Mostly f*** Dallas.

I knew we had children on here.

Bloody little shits.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Amazing what happens when you shoot the puck higher than 1 inch off the ice.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

F*** Vegas, tbh.

 

[Ignatius]

When you watch Dallas... you see one heck of a team. And i am not talking just a roster. That team is PLAYING like a team. Vegas did tremendous at stopping the Dallas entry for most of the game. It went enter, drop, turnover. They couldn't get anything going. NEVER did Dallas panic. They just kept running. Then they got garbage goals.

I see more panic in Tampa's game, but a better roster. I just see a damn good team in Dallas. They are playing tremendous.

While I think Tampa will be the sexy pick in the minds of most this team will have to prove that it can win. I remember watching the 2015 SCF and thinking that Hedman was the only player that really stood out for Tampa, Point has been a revelation for them in this playoff run but can he sustain it when the chips are down especially considering that he has been a little banged up?

Dallas has been the underdog proving everyone wrong all playoffs and I feel like they have all the makings of a team that comes together, gets hot at the right time, and becomes formidable in whatever way they are compelled to play. That is a dangerous combination that I will not count out. I said in another thread that I thought Dallas could have won it all last year had they defeated the Blues and I think this year they are playing with that in the back of their minds as motivation. Joe Pavs is playing hungry as are many others.

 

[Fogel]

Some people were hoping for this.

 

[Icarium]

Once again Vegas unraveled after receiving a goal, you would think that they wouldn't panic so easily but nope, either a shutout or a loss since the middle of the series against the Canucks. Kudos to the Stars for dominating the final third and the OT and once again Pacioretty can't score for shit in an elimination game. Feels bad to end the game on a delay of game penalty, good thing I was no longer rooting for Vegas but that rule is just dumb in general, IMO.

 

[DRAGO 18]

Lavi makes the caps a better team in the next few years then will get fired

 

[ColePens]

Lavi makes the caps a better team in the next few years then will get fired

100 percent agreed. I did not want Lav in Washington. I think that's a good hire

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Lavi makes the caps a better team in the next few years then will get fired

Or not have his contract renewed.

Hoping? Not at all. Perfect coach for them.
