Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

[Chainshot]

There are reasons Boston is the team that they are and it's because of things like this.

This just shows how horrible the ESPN broadcast is compared to SportsNet. We barely saw the fight and ESPN is obsessed with showing the crowd more than showing what is going on the actual ice.

Keefe out in T.O.

 

[EichHart]

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

Do we even have players on our team that have this fire?

Do we even have players on our team that have this fire?

I think Cozens, Dahlin, and even Thompson have it in them. Probably Tuch and Krebs, too.

Cozens sure did, and he got his face caved in. Dahlin has fire and the ability to back it up. Krebs has some fire, but he doesn't know how to hockey.

Part of wanting to just get in, regardless of if they are an easy out in round 1 is getting to that, to find out if someone elevates in those situations.

 

[Butt Ox]

Do we even have players on our team that have this fire?

Maybe a little but it is sparingly stoked up to any kind of heat. No one whom I would say is, "hard to play against" consistently.

Swipe right to hear the full statement.

Do we even have players on our team that have this fire?

We have a few that will respond when a team takes it to them. But we don't have anyone willing to take it to a team on a consistent nightly basis. We are a reactionary team instead of imposing this play style on other teams

Dahlin is probably the exception but even he is not consistent enough yet.

 

[DapperCam]

Do we even have players on our team that have this fire?

If you specifically mean skilled players willing to drop the gloves, we've seen Cozens do it recently. I think Tage wishes he could fight more, but probably has been told not to (he had that fight in preseason recently, and I think he has said his father taught him to fight).

 

[OkimLom]

Cozens, probably. Dahlin, maybe. Thompson, doubt it, haven't seen it. Tuch, I think does. Krebs, does.

Thompson fought Millar a few years back.

Thompson fought Millar a few years back.

Thompson laid a beating on someone in the last home game just this season.

Yeh he beat up Pacioretty

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.

Inversion doesn’t end in “s”.

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

Utah Power would be better.

 

[Chainshot]

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.

If they go with Powder, they can eventually relocate to Florida to make things even more interesting.

 

[Ace]

Didnt Tage fight in the preseason of all places?

Anyway…Don didn’t even want them to hit…I can’t imagine he was jumping at the idea of fighting either.

How does a team impose it's style of play on an opponent when the coach can't even figure out what style of play he wants to implement?
