Around the NHL - Episode XLIV

[The Lewler]

There is no way that would work cap wise.

It's not like it's a 1 for 1.

But they still keep coming up in rumour mill as in on him.

Just more fodder for the "everyone to the Leafs" memes.

 

[bicboi64]

Was catching up on some random nhl news, Stars might be down 2 centres with Faksa and Hintz out. Dellandrea might be called up, would be great experience for him. Even if Stone and Nosek don't play for Vegas in game 5, I think LV has enough depth to pull off a win.

 

[JungleBeat]

Tampa Bay made easy work of the Islanders.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Tampa Bay made easy work of the Islanders.

Really wasn't that easy.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Really wasn't that easy.

It never really looked like the Isles were going to win. Very few NHL playoff games are "easy wins" but this one was pretty close to it.

Isles have been great in these playoffs but they appear to be outclassed by an injured TB team. No shame in that. The Bolts are damn good.

 

[Micklebot]

Ugh... frigging Islanders setting it up for close to the worst possible case for us. We really should have insisted the 3rd be conditioned on them making the conference finals, not winning the cup, seeing as it's making the conference finals that buggers up the 1st round pick value. Oh well.

Maybe next round of sell-offs PD might fare better, same conclusion tough...Oh well.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Can't even begin to imagine the amount of pressure that must be on Lehner being given no more than a goal or none at all as a cushion all playoffs(or at least the last two rounds), especially in a elimination game.

Too bad Vegas fans are too dim to realize this and constantly criticize him and advocate for Fleury to take his place in net, as if that would suddenly turn on their offense.

This game is over. Pack it in for game 6

Have you not seen Dallas' "play dead for most of the game then score a bunch of goals to win" approach to the 2020 playoffs?

I don't count them out until the final buzzer.

Edit: And here we go again lol.

I hope so

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Feels like they’ll tie it now

 

[Ouroboros]

This Kiviranta fella has quite the flair for the dramatic.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Let’s go stars!!

 

[Sensinitis]

Dallas!! Pretty cool that a more Darkhorse team with a bunch of talent makes it to the Finals.

 

[DueDiligence]

the Knights another playoff exit. Mark Stone needed to be better than 2 pts in 5 games.

 

[DueDiligence]

This game is over. Pack it in for game 6

nope!

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

nope!

Reverse psychology. I was cheering for Dallas. Can’t stand Vegas.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

the Knights another playoff exit. Mark Stone needed to be better than 2 pts in 5 games.

He was good against Vancouver but looked slow against Dallas. Not a good performance by him or pacioretty, who did literally nothing

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Happy for Bones

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Yeah, like I said, never count the Stars out, especially in the face of the anemic offense that is Vegas'. Their forwards, and only their forwards, are to blame to this fiasco. They had no business losing in 5 games.

 

[DueDiligence]

For Stone and Pacioretty and the rest of the Knights the time is now. They have an old team with no room to sign a significant addition unless they start giving up draft picks to take Fleury's contract.

 

[Senscore]

Vegas fans need to suffer through an actual team build before they're allowed to win.

Karma for screwing over Fleury.

To be fair, no one on Vegas had more than 2 points in the series except for Stastny
