OT: Around the NHL - Hockey is back!

[Lustaf]

Timing it's all about timing and when you've sat for this long the high flying teams are out of sync.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I think we are honestly seeing the issues with this format. All the skilled teams have been knocked out in the first round and the grinders are excelling it.

If I were in a more forgiving mood. It’s a format that was always primed for upsets and random outcomes. Players stealing series, teams being sluggish and rusty, injury recovery being rushed, routines being weird, games close together, bad ice, real life stress being higher, pressure on mental health, etc.

Yep but now the NHL has setup a 37.5% chance of the next great prospect going to Pittsburgh, Edmonton or Toronto.

What a shit play by Rielly.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

When they had best of 5 in the 80's in a league where 16 of 21 made the playoffs, there were a lot of wacky upsets in the playoffs.

The North Stars who went to 6 games of the finals with the 91 Pens had 67 points.

Columbus just pulled a Toronto from last night

 

[Gumbercules]

What a collapse

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Nice comeback from Toronto...

 

[dogthateats]

Lol you have to suck to blow a 3-0 lead

 

[Lustaf]

Toronto showing more life in three minutes then Pittsburgh did all series.

Columbus should have ended that.

 

[Turin]

Woah Toronto!

 

[mpp9]

Toronto showing more life in three minutes then Pittsburgh did all series.

Columbus should have ended that.

Toronto has to be the most dangerous team I've seen in recent years when they're pushing for a goal. They create like 6 or 7 ridiculous high danger chances in a shift.

They should. Toronto is at apex.

 

[Lustaf]

Pens use to do that.

Its how they won cups. This series they had zero drive or raw passion and being relentless on the puck.

stop! this math is madness!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Imma pull for the Coyotes

Forever thrilled by Phil.

Go Tocchet!

 

[Turin]

Damn. That ruined a lot of delicious takes. Gotta think Toronto wins the next game, but it’s Toronto so who knows.

 

[Gumbercules]

Seems like a pretty easy penalty call. Don't jam your stick in the skates of a guy a foot from the boards.

 

[dogthateats]

Man CBJ missed a rather uncontested empty net too, that hurts. I was rooting for Columbus, but not a fan of either team.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Pizza boy was not happy

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Toronto chests death. News at 11

 

[Gurglesons]

I love Toronto’s team. Wish Matthews hadn’t pulled that shit over the summer because I love the cockiness but he seems like he is cut from Kane’s cloth.

 

[Andy99]

Toronto come back was amazing...they definitely don’t need Lafreniere ...Columbus could use though

 

[Gurglesons]

Funny how Pearson didn’t work out here........

Tanev brothers with a big day, both end their series.
