Around the NHL - Part XLII - (Playoffs Edition)

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Bouchard such a fraud. Let me just stand here at the point ripping shots after McDrai do all the hard work, and let Hyman clean up any rebounds.

He's got a great shot, tbf, but his numbers are as fraudulent as they get. He doesn't create shit.

What a bad game to watch. Am I crazy? I think the Canucks are the worst team left in the playoffs but are up 2-1, go figure.

The entire team are frauds living off McDavid & Draisaitl.

Neither team in this series has been impressive..singling out Vancouver makes little sense when EDM can't score 5 on 5.

The Edmonton board is pretty much ready to send Skinner to the dark side of the moon

What does RNH do? I didn't hear his name at all

They're both bad but Vancouver is literally close to setting records for shots per game futility in the playoffs.

Edit: Also isn't that what people say about the Rangers?

the Rangers have only 4 power play goals in this series. They scored 2/2 in game 1 and everyone decided they're some amazing PP team and thats all they can do. Actually Van is another team that kind of relies on the PP in the playoffs so far. Except they're also averaging like 15 shots per game as well.

Nobody gets on them about it

People saying it doesn't always make it true, but Edm is actually doing very little 5v5 where the Rangers haven't been living off their PP during the playoffs.

The Canucks have been playing bend, don't break hockey & it's going to catch up with them very soon. Especially when relying on an unproven goalie. Edmonton is just a prime example of top heavy roster construction with some really bad immovable contracts. Having McDrai can only cover up so many warts.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Maybe I'm wrong and the Canucks are doing what we did against the Canes. But also the Canes do that to everyone and Nashville has been doing this since Nashville. And I don't know they just seem so vanilla. But it seemed like a lot of point shots from Edmonton and just nothing dangerous either. It was ugly. Is that how people feel watching our series?

 

[JRinNYC]

That Paul Maurice post game interview was funny.

the kid did lock it down in the 3rd though.

 

[will1066]

Will someone on the Canes try to take out Trouba based on the new meta?

 

[Atax]

I think we can all agree we dont know what the f*** goaltender interference actually is.

 

[Cmox]

I expect the next bos vs fla game to have plenty calls in Bostons favor.

 

[NYR94]

Zadorov shoving Kane into the bench lmao

Post-Game Talk: - Cane

Did people pay him to see Chopitle food-poison you? Yes. Jonny Miata paid Hughes to poison me so he can see ice time. Devious SOB he is.

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That’s brutal. Hope the Oilers goon it up next game and do the same to Hughes and or Boeser or Pettersson

 

[will1066]

I want to see an unhinged Evander Kane in Game 4.

Ridiculously dirty. Guy who crosschecked him in the face should've gotten a full game suspension.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Pretty good slash McJesus gave him, but they were both going at it:

You just can't do that even if a guy slashes you. That's a full on crosscheck to the face. What the actual f*** was Soucy thinking!? That should be at least a game.

Not sure it matters, but it looked like Zadorov cross checked him from behind first, which dropped McJesus and then Soucy crosschecked him. All happened in like a split second. Wonder if Soucy still would've gotten him up that high had Zadorov not hit him at all. But I don't think the league really cares about that. Would be surprised if Soucy doesn't get a suspension here.
