Around The NHL Discussion 2019/20 - Part III

[The Note]

Anyone else think that the Preds take Askarov at #11 given Rinne's age and the fact that Saros was pretty meh in the play-in round? Ingram had a good year in the AHL, but you can't really move forward with only two goalies in your system and next season may be Pekka's last.

I’d love for the team that can’t score to draft a goalie at 11th rather than a high upside forward.

Korpisalo putting on a clinic. Not sure his much longer CBJ can withstand the onslaught. They got lucky that first OT.

With the TBL/CBJ game going to 3OT, the NHL schedule makers are going to look like absolute clowns with having 3 games scheduled in one of the bubbles on some days.

Crazy....

CBJ just played the other day

 

[BlueDream]

4th OT lol.

I say it every year but there’s nothing better on TV than playoff hockey.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

This is like the March Madness of hockey

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Flames take game 1

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Keith Jones talking about his +1 he had on the gwg in the longest game ever was pretty funny lol

 

[The Note]

Tampa finally ends it

 

[AjaxManifesto]

CBJ has played a TON of hockey in the last 5 days.

Bruins vs Carolina open their series with a back to back now, as they've postponed that game for an 11am ET start tommorow due to the CBJ game stretching on forever.

Come on Vegas

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Damn we look slow compared to these teams.

I hope Chief lights a fire or this is going to be over real quick for the Blues.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I'm torn...

I'd rather face the Hawks than the Knights if the Blues actually make it to the next rounds.

That'd require Vegas, Colorado, and Dallas to all lose their series. I don't think that's very likely.

Let’s see how we look when our playoffs start. My hunch is it’s gonna look much better than the past week.

Yeah. Vegas loss means we play Dallas or Calgary if we win (assuming Colorado wins).

 

[mk80]

I've never a seen a goalie lose a blade before tonight. And it's happened twice to Lehner

 

[Blueston]

Is there a better defensive pair than Jones-Werenski? Slavin-Hamilton is only one I think who comes close. Petro and Parayko as top 2 would be up there but they don’t play as pairing.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

Sucks that Korpisalo threw down such an epic game and his team couldn’t get the win for him.

Why was Columbus scheduled for the very first playoff game when they were the last team left playing in the pre-series? That was a great disservice to that team. When I saw the schedule, I felt like it had to be deliberate. I’m sure they wanted Boston in prime time, but kinda sucked for Columbus.

Still, they’ve only lost 1 game, only been out scored by one goal. The good news is that in 3 periods they can tie it back up.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Let's just say that the only team that scares me in the West is Vegas. I think we can handle Colorado. I hope somebody else knocks out Vegas.
