Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

These western teams are all lacking top tier goaltending. They're going to have a hard time with the East

I’m sorry. A guy running you well after the puck is gone who put himself in position to eat a gloved fist isn’t the same as standing there and eating a gloved fist when you aren’t even engaged.

And not in the way you seem to believe they aren’t the same.

Marchand got got because he put himself there. f*** him.

Bennett had the balls to tell the TBS team that he's just come off an injury and he's going to protect himself....

Bottom line, they are both borderline illegal players who knew EXACTLY what each other was planning to do. No sympathies for either. Ya play that way and sooner or later, you're gonna answer for it.

Watching the VAN / EDM series and I honestly don't want either team to lose.

It's so weird. Usually I hate both teams in a series. Liking both is just... unnatural.

Old school Natty Hatty for Boeser. 3 consecutive and in the same period.

Oettinger. He hasn't been perfect this postseason, but for the most part he's been good when Dallas has really needed him.

I may throw Oettinger into the conversation the guy can be a game changer. Problem is he isn't consistent. I still have Igor and Bob over him tho.

Zadorov gave Kane the extra shot because Kane kicked at him and he's furious. Gonna side with Z here.

Vancouver trying to give the game away, too many lazy penalties in the 3rd

 

[Ehran]

OMG... EDM pulls goalie, and scores to pull within 1 with slightly over 1 minute to go.

This after Miller pinged off the post on an empty net.

What a game !!!

Oilers got screwed by their goaltending

Silov with 41 saves (against 44 shots) tonight. He's what, Vancouver's 3rd string goalie? Something like that.

TNT broadcast fail to show the McDavid slash that started all the ruckus at the horn

Sportsnet was blaming Zadorov for the crosscheck skipping criticism of McDavid slash

Suppression of evidence is a time tested technique....

I mean McJesus is a saint. Isn't he?

With that sort of bias one could very easily accuse Zadorov of being responsible Russia's attack on Ukraine......

His stick is a WMD so it's in the realm of possibilities

Okie has been an absolute gem for us in the playoffs and he seems really happy in the interviews. I think you should re-sign him, great leader.

It is on the hockey pants but that is the slash.

The Oilers gonna kill their top 5 guys.

This TOI is unreal.

And if Vancouver is seeing this, play the body all the time, every time.

Bouchard, who leads Edmonton in EV TOI/GP, is only 17th in EV TOI/GP in the playoffs so far this season.

He is 9th in TOI/GP. But, that 4:11 of PP TOI/GP isn't as grinding as EV or SH ice time.

I think that has to do with having an easy 1st round against Kings

The workload for him has certainly increased a ton vs Vancouver when compared to against LA (outside of Game 5).

But, it isn't like Edmonton is leaning on their top guys more than lots of teams do in the playoffs.

Miro has has a rough go of it with Vegas in Round 1 and then Colorado in Round 2.

You guys keep him, we insist

Ok's happiness comes from inside - win or lose. It's good for vibes and an admirable personality quality.

We wish him the best in retirement.

Mod edit - things one can not say.

Cheers!
