Around the NHL: Part XXXIII

[NYRFANMANI]

Woo! Eat shit Tampa!!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The only bad thing about this matchup is that its in the opening round.

Both of these teams would clown all 4 of the teams in our division lol.

I can’t put into words the amount of hate I had for Alain Vigneault by the time he was fired, but I wonder if an extra season of him would’ve been worth it if it meant getting a shot at hiring Q.

 

[Synergy27]

The fact that we aren't likely to make the playoffs without Panarin? The fact the Panarin would have to have a legitimate injury in order to be placed on LTIR?

Thanks for bringing me back down to earth.

I haven’t watched Florida all year. They look great. This game is FAST.

Yeah, he didn't win three cups by accident.

 

[CLW]

The refs really are a bad joke. Why was Peel fired again? Absolute BS again not calling that hold on Barkov.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Refs here continue to be atrocious. Barkov did nothing there except get mugged.

 

[CLW]

Tampa are in trouble. No wonder they've tried to goon it up early on.

 

[SRHRangers]

Barkov's national stage party.

Panthers looks so much faster.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

This game is awesome.

At the risk of being that annoying guy, this is the type of game I have zero confidence in the NYR top players to come up big in. Perfect example of why I am wary of committing to Zibanejad.

 

[Irishguy42]

This series:

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That was awesome.

Hell of a Job by the Panthers not to get deflated after getting Jobbed and giving up the shorty. If that happened to the Rangers under Quinn they would have finished this period down 3-0.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

This Panthers Lightning game is good wholesome hockey. I almost forgot what good hockey looked like.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

What a fortunate coincidence Kucherov makes it back just on time for the play offs after an injury that incidentally fixed Tampa's salary cap issues.

Seriously how is this not cap circumvention? Should lose a draft pick.

 

[Boris Zubov]

What a pace here. Not sure these guys realize they have to play 6 more of these games.

 

[SRHRangers]

McD should get a game for that board though.

That was blatant.

 

[Boris Zubov]

It's absolutely cap circumvention. Complete bullshit.

 

[Kaapo Hollweg]

I sure as hell hope so. Don't want any of those 4 teams anywhere near the finals.

 

[Harbour Dog]

If a team decided to play a series against us this hard right now, we would get manhandled. It would be hard to watch.

Please hockey gods, let Lafreniere and Kakko bring a swagger to the top6 next year.

 

[RickChartraw]

I hope every single one of our guys are watching this game. that period was playoff hockey.

 

[Kaapo Hollweg]

I hope the Panthers sweep them.

They won't, but I'm hoping for it.

Wanted to say that I like McDonagh too much to be actively rooting against Tampa. And just before I could do that, here comes McD using Duclair's head as a drill trying to make a hole through the boards.

OK then. f*** Tampa. f*** the piss poor refs.

I take back my original statement though.

I want 7 games of that period

Seriously the north division playoffs are going to look like pee wee games compared to this one.

True that.

100% agree with you. We all know Mika when healthy is a 40 goal 2 way center, but the issue with him is he shies away from the physical side of the game and the game within the game so to speak.
