OT: Around the NHL - Stanley Cup Playoffs 2nd Round

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Fleury picking up his terrific play we've seen most of these playoffs after last loss. He really does seem to be a changed player. Good for him, sincerely.

It's looking like this will be the series that will test him and we will find out the answer.

Evander Kane is up and down the ice busting his ass so hard each shift.

Agreed.

Evander Kane is up and down the ice busting his ass so hard each shift.

I have to admit I was wrong about him. This change of scenery has obviously done him a lot of good. It's refreshing to see. He's always been a hell of a talent.

 

[ColePens]

Agreed.

I don't know... I feel Kane really took ownership and knows if he just shuts up, focuses, and plays with his skillset - he's due for a big pay day. The only thing stopping that is if he gets in his own way. I just love everything he's saying each media scrum. Very simple, all about the team, and he is way more humble than usual.


And WOW what a passing play that was. Tic-tac-toe

 

[LOGiK]

Bing Bang BOOM

 

[ColePens]

The team that got skated off the ice in Game 1 and down 2-0 in Game 2... look every bit as fast and good as Vegas. Great focus in that locker room to keep the belief. They were literally skated off the ice in Game 1.

Coming back to win in OT no less after a 7-0 defeat. You aint kidding they had to keep the belief. They could have melted away like the Flyers, but hung in there.

 

[ColePens]

What a shift by Miller. Insane stop/start work in the d-zone, skates north, keeps it simple, and then gets the goal. Incredible shift.

 

[LOGiK]

I think San Jose has the best side-camera angle so far in the play-offs.

Yeah, it really was.

He did tremendous work on that shift.

 

[DegenX]

Francis is out of Carolina completely now. Lou is out in Toronto. What a day, yeah? I'm kinda hoping this means Ronnie will be heading to the Burgh. I thought he was doing some positive things with the Canes, and wouldn't mind it if he took over for GMJR when it's time for him to retire.

 

[LOGiK]

Dayyyyyyummmm that was like an NHL 2018 goal. Incredible shot.

 

[LOGiK]

This Vegas team is just too much already.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Vegas really leaning into it, now...

 

[td_ice]

Wow, each one of these three goals have been beautiful.

 

[LOGiK]

That may be one of the most beautiful deflection passes I have seen in a long while.

 

[LOGiK]

Vegas - Bruins final anyone?

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

San Jose almost doubling them up on shots, too. Already 28-15 with time on the clock in the second.

 

[td_ice]

Haha.....just realized I was about 3 minutes behind. Caught up now.

Damn, Knights taking over here. Sharks need to get the next one, or it's likely over.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Wow, each one of these three goals have been beautiful.

Tonight is a perfect example of how you can't judge a goalie performance (Martin Jones) by looking at a boxscore.

If you just looked at the boxscore, you see 3 goals allowed on only like 15 or 16 shots, which is bad (numbers-wise). But if you watched the goals, you'd see all three were beauties he had almost zero chance on.

Reminds me a bit of people saying Murray had a bad game last game because he allowed 3 goals against, as well as the Flyers series in Game 2 where he allowed like 4 goals on 19 shots.

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Remember when Pens made teams pay on the pp like that?

 

[flaneur]

You would never guess that Brian Burke graduated from Harvard Law

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Remember when Pens made teams pay on the pp like that?

Helps when you have a one-time option like Marchessault. With Geno out and with Schultz not shooting, the Pens don't have a one-time threat on the PP, so they can't catch a team like that with a quick strike.

I'm trying to but my memory doesn't go that far back
