OT: Around the NHL: non-Pens playoff talk

[Andy99]

Huge save by Bob there and now Vasi

 

[Beau Knows]

This is the kind of game people who aren't in too hockey need to see. If you don't like this game, you're just never going to like hockey.

Vancouver got hella COVID and that delayed the end of the season for the north.

I remember that they had games cancelled due to COVID...so they are playing makeup games now? That seems silly

Absolutely!

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

f*** man

 

[TNT87]

Oh my.

 

[Andy99]

Man, wow, this game...why is Florida wanting to play a wide open game against Tampa?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

lol.

 

[Gurglesons]

Point is a playoff legend.

 

[BHD]

Wow, Point with a little over a minute to go.

 

[Andy99]

Anyone think the Pens are beating either of these teams in the POs? Thought not...

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Not that these goals have been Bob's fault but maybe a 5-spot makes them play one of their two better options?

 

[Lustaf]

Anyone think the Pens are beating either of these teams in the POs? Thought not...

Let the Penguins focus on the Islanders before worrying about anyone else.

 

[BHD]

I don't fault Bob there. Point, who has ice in his veins, was staring him down.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Anyone think the Pens are beating either of these teams in the POs? Thought not...

I mean FLA just gave up a breakaway with a minute left in a tie game...not exactly playing super tight and disciplined

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Alright now who's ready for some meaningless regular season hockey?!

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean FLA just gave up a breakaway with a minute left in a tie game...not exactly playing super tight and disciplined

And that's why they ultimately will lose the series and fun hockey will not be played after this year for them. I remember when WAS and PIT used to look like this.

Then coaches like Sullivan and Trotz got their hands on those teams and it became shit. It's why I love the 08 and 09 cup run teams way more because they were just playing spirited hockey with tons of talent. Not systematic bullshit.

 

[TimmyD]

Florida needs to keep their emotions in check and stay out of the box. If they do that they probably are up 1-0 right now

 

[Andy99]

I mean FLA just gave up a breakaway with a minute left in a tie game...not exactly playing super tight and disciplined

true, but if that was Rust on the breakaway, are you confident he gets that goal....whereas you can tell Point had the absolute confidence he was scoring there...we just seem so in our head and doubting everything and our best offensive players have played small in a lot of these PO games...

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

That injured guy looked pretty good.
League needs to fix that loophole

 

[BHD]

Are we sure Boucher was an NHL goalie? He’s giving Bob flack for that goal and says both goalies played well. Lol

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Point is a playoff legend.

Point seems to have another level once the playoffs begin.

 

[Gurglesons]

Point seems to have another level once the playoffs begin.

1.13 ppg in 44 games.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I know people are down on Tampa because of the LTIR stuff, but I just love watching that team. The way they move the puck is just amazing.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Yeah, 20% more in salary does that.

These motherf***ers are icing a $100M team, f*** them. They gotta go
