Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

How could the Leafs choose a coach in like a week? Everyone knows it takes at least three months to do an exhaustive search!

Why? He strikes me as just kinda more of the same.

I like his explosive step, and with his speed he’s able to be a more dangerous transition player than who we have currently on the roster. If we’re going to have a roster of the same type of players, I feel he would be a good player that would work well with anybody else. He’d offer Ruff a good player with flexibility.

We currently have Peyton Krebs as one of our 3 Centers... I wouldn't call that more of the same ... it is a significant upgrade

I like the player offensively, but he does kinda feel like more of the same at least as a winger, not sure exactly what he'd bring as a C, not too mention the contract he might command...6/6m? He seems a bit like a luxury as far as fits go.

Not sure how Bob kept that one out of the net.

 

[Sabreality]

Bob loves wielding that stick all over the place if he can hang onto it

 

[DapperCam]

I never understand why players don’t just bail and go to the bench to grab a stick when theirs breaks in the defensive zone. 95% of the time they just stand around uselessly anyway.

 

[oldgoalie]

Fla sucking on face offs. It’s gonna bite them in the ass.

 

[Sabreality]

Feelin like next goal wins territory, B's really retreating once any O chance cools.

 

[oldgoalie]

McEvoy head hunting. Caught him.

 

[Sabreality]

oof not the time to make that hit

 

[oldgoalie]

Make up call.

 

[Sabreality]

oh my Wotherspoon

 

[DapperCam]

Make up call.

Pretty sure the Bruin’s player tripped over Swayman’s stick. Garbage call with 3 minutes left in an elimination game.

Never change, NHL.

What a way to go down late. Just throw it at the net and hope he’s sleeping

 

[Ehran]

FLA takes lead with 1:33 left. This is going to be fun!!

Is Necas an actual center though? I get that that's where he WANTS to play......but can he?

We'd be paying a hefty fee both in cost of acquisition and in cap to get him, to hope he's a center.

I'd much rather let Tage and Cozens figure it out as our top 2 centers and then get a more legitimate 2-way center for the 3rd line. And not for nothing, if there's someone who could blossom under Lindy....Krebs is that type of guy.

wooof

That's the Travis Green plan.

 

[oldgoalie]

There we go. Forsling on a rebound and Swayman gives up a crappy one short side.

 

[Ace]

That's the Travis Green plan.

The longer Seattle takes the funnier hiring Bylsma will be

 

[DapperCam]

That icing call was terrible. McAvoy literally stopped skating.

 

[Ace]

Happy Boston elimination day to all who celebrate

 

[Ehran]

Congrats Florida.

 

[oldgoalie]

Boston headed for the links. Heh.
Happy for the ex Sabres that are moving on.
