Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

[Old Navy Goat]

Yep. Boston did what old time watchers would expect them to do. And it didn't work out real well for them.

Pasternak answered the bell. And got his helmet handed to him.

Probably shouldn't have tussled with Reinhart earlier not expecting any consequences.

Yeah. I'm obviously biased here in the NHL modern era and still believe the Code matters....

I would have loved seeing Montour tune up Marchand

Sportsnet East, West and Ontario nonstop buffering at over 600mps, fortunately Pacific is running ok. Can't handle those ESPN announcers

 

[BB79]

For sure. And “Outlaws” screams arena football team to me.

Awful list of names

Honestly, I don't understand where the love affair with "Yeti" is coming from. Just because it sounds kind nice off the tongue after "Utah"?

 

[Fezzy126]

Both coaches showed appreciation for the intensity of the series.

Maurice on the fighting "Sorry whoever is offended by that concept, but that was awesome"


Monty praised Pasta for stepping out of character:




Man I really miss the intensity of playoff hockey here

Color me confused, how can you not get a high sticking penalty when you put your stick through the opposing player's helmet

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Canucks no chance this series with Silovs in net.

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

Except for the fact there are no caribou in Utah. Then again, there is no Jazz in Utah either, so I guess it fits.

Really?! Then how the hell did that name even make the list?!

It was on the follow through from shooting the puck. There is no high sticking if the contact is made as part of a follow through.

Canucks no chance this series with Silovs in net.

Or maybe they do.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Another too many men penalty against Boston. That’s 5 in 9 games. It’s a risky strategy but pretty clever.

I wonder if they’ve hit a point where the league is instructing the refs to crack down in it.

 

[BB79]

Epic meltdown by Edmonton, from 4-1 lead to 5-4 loss. Ouch

Really?! Then how the hell did that name even make the list?!

Well there's no Yeti either, that's a mythological creature from the Himalayan mountains

 

[Chainshot]

Utah Gators

Neck protectors.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Wow. Canucks with an incredible comeback win against the team that is all the experts pick for winning the SC.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Or maybe they do.

Well damn, I skip the 3rd to pick things up for a dinner party and the Oilers implode. Just means I'm not allowed to watch anymore of that series

 

[Jim Bob]

Utah Powder needs to be memed into existence for how stupid it is.

Swarm, Black Diamonds, Outlaws, and maybe Venom are the only half decent ones on there.

Swarm (NLL's Georgia Swarm) and Outlaws (PLL's Denver Outlaws) are great lacrosse/hockey crossover nicknames.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Neck protectors.

[Old Navy Goat]

Let the bloodbath begin, Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows, only that it flows

 

[WeDislikeEich]

Hoping they don’t go after Quenneville (I know he would need to be reinstated by the NHL).

I’m fine with them hiring Berube though. I think Keefe Is a better coach than Berube, so…

 

[TehDoak]

I don't care what gets chosen, I'm calling them the Utah Sister Wives because of how much I've had to endure that stupid ass show.

On a serious note, I'd appreciate if people could go to nhlinutah.com and vote for "Mountaineers" and "Outlaws" only as the choices during this round of team naming, and then go back and vote for "Outlaws" in the finals after May 22. I live in Salt Lake and am getting half season tickets next year. How often in life does a new NHL team come up in the city you live in, right? I don't want the team to have a stupid name.

Names that end in "s" sound better in my opinion. Based on polling and discussion I've seen, "Outlaws" and "Yeti" have the most public support. I think Yeti is a silly comic book name that sticks out like a sore thumb when you're looking down a list of other team names like Rangers, Islanders, Sabres, Kings, Oilers, Flames, Canadiens, Bruins.

So help me give the team I'll have half season tickets to a normal hockey name and not a weird silly name and go vote for Outlaws and Mountaineers please.

I went to vote for Yeti earlier and decided against it when they asked for name and email. Im not giving that out

That clip of Pasta asking Monty to go to fight Tkachuk f***ing rules.
