Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

I would wonder why he'd want to work for a GM he knows who has been to the playoffs once in 8 years in that position.

1 > 0. And everyone in the entire sport has a million times more respect for Seattle than they do our clownshoes organization.

Surprised Vegas is going with Hill as Thompson was the only reason they weren't run over so far this series

Not helping them yet.

Pavs was pushed in and Thompson sold that a bit..

Oettinger HAS to have that one, yikes.

Looks like this game has decided to go insane.

Can't blame him on the goals but I don't understand the move

I think there was some talk about teams that do the rotation/goalie-share wanting to keep the other guy fresh on 32 Thoughts this morning.

There's a difference between the guy's playing ok so we'll keep him fresh and give the other guy a game, and he's channeling the Dominator

PK Subban is a natural at this.

Don't always agree with his takes but he good at this

Accidental high sticking drawing blood = 4 min

Punch a guy in the face drawing blood = 2 min

Never change, NHL. Never change.

Loved him as a player but Ryan Callahan is a brutal color guy for ESPN

That spinning back fist would have done Eddie Kingston proud

Feels like no one has lit more money on fire this year than Chandler Stephenson.

I'd take him as a 3C

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

whatta game!

He won't be transiting the puck for Stone in Buffalo. He really struggled this year - some guys don't do well in contract years and he certainly didn't.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Whose idea was it to have those guys point at an odd angled display with the blade of a hockey stick? I had no clue what they were talking about.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Is PK okay? He seems… off

Watching Vegas being frustrated in the 3rd by Dallas. Knights look totally winded.

So Eichel is left trying to do it all by himself because no one else on his team can play at his level. Remind you of back when you were playing for the Sabres Jack?

Stone is toast. Peitrangelo is getting long in the tooth. McNabb has been neutered after the Benn hit last game. Vegas just isn't fighting hard enough to get to loose pucks. This series in all probability is over.

 

[Chainshot]

Perry hurt by Mikey Anderson. Anderson has a knack for knocking Oilers out in the playoffs.

EDM’s PP is insane.

EDM’s PP is insane.

They send two guys to the crease, time after time. The other three guys play the puck, move each other and the biscuit around quickly.

Brind'Amour on re-signing with Hurricanes: 'This is where I want to be'

Amid all the rumours and speculation about what's next for Rod Brind'Amour and the Carolina Hurricanes, the head coach has publicly expressed his interest in staying with the team.

That leak almost certainly came from Rod's agent.

Hanifin has the intensity of old dishwater. He's fine when they are ahead but watching him Eeyore the puck around in important offensive situations is one of the most painful things. Get that man a double espresso and a kick in the ass.

Yeah that was a weird signing for them. As a rental, sure, but he didn't seem to fit their overall style so I wondered if they'd regret that long term contract, even though it was relatively affordable.

Perhaps Eichel was pushing for it?

I think that Vegas has looked like the better team most of this series, but Dallas just steps it up at the right times. What a good series...the best one of the playoffs by far imo.
