Around the NHL Thread

[Boomstick]

I really hope Vancouver and Dallas don't pull off upsets, this potential series is way too appealing to watch and I hope we get to see it this year.

I think, and I hope Dallas is done in 4. We shut down Seguin, but let Heiksanen and Klingberg run circles around us. Colorado is faster, younger, I think they'll dispatch Dallas quick. You'll see the idiots like Perry get into penalty trouble. That's one thing that pissed me off about our series. Game 1 Perry targets Tkachuk and fights him. Games 2-6 no Flame started a fight with anyone for energy. Lucic, or Rinaldo surely should have picked a fight with someone even if it was Perry. Get them off their game. There was no retaliation from Calgary. We needed to start some chaos and we didn't.

I'd be OK with the Nucks, Flyers or Isles winning, those fanbases have suffered long enough. Vegas fans haven't, they need to live through a couple of decades of misery like the rest of us, it's the law. Bruins, Bolts, Avs and Stars have won in my lifetime so definitely not them.

 

[Mobiandi]

I want the Bruins to win

 

[Anglesmith]

I actually want the Nucks to go a...way.

Me too, man. Me too.

Flames management going with a cheap no name rather than an established coach

Vegas looks elite

Fixed.

The issues are with ownership mandate and we have a bunch of Karens asking for the manager...

If Vancouver lost in the finals though... does Covid help keep their city from being destroyed in a riot?

I think some of ya'll are underestimating how annoying Vancouver winning the cup would be. Sure, usually it's an annoying rival, but Edmonton would be so much more pissed off than us to see the cup paraded in their own cathedral by Vancouver. I actually think it would be kinda hilarious.

You're right, I knew that but wrote the other thing... lol

Arizona has lost their 2020 2nd and 2021 1st

The outlook is bleak for this club

 

[CamPopplestone]

Chayka got out at the right time. I don't envy trying to fix Arizona if/when Hall walks, not with the money situation, and now these picks taken away, plus the Hall trade picks and prospects being gone.

Yeah... the timing is a little fishy. Feels more like Chayka dropped a live grenade on his way out the door.

Yup. He at least knew it was coming.

Crazy what happens to the Avs when teams don't put them on a pedestal

What a missed opportunity

 

[Mobiandi]

Absolute worst thing that can happen is the Stars take the Avs out in 5 and Treliving thinks we're closer than we are just cause Colorado shit the bed worse than us

I can't imagine he makes that leap in logic lol

 

[Kranix]

I blame Feaster for the playoff loss.

There's been some Avs fans this past year whose only contribution to every Flames thread in the main boards has been "Flames sucks, Avs owned them in the playoffs", so Stars winning the series (if that happens) should shut them up.

Report: Laviolette a contender for Capitals' head coaching job

The Washington Capitals have permission to talk to Peter Laviolette in their search for a new head coach, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman. Laviolette is "very much a contender," Friedman adds.

Said this for a few years now but man I wish we had Travis Green

Would you say you're... Green with envy?

 

[Mobiandi]

Would you say you're... Green with envy?

Very. He's the real deal. Don't know why such a large contingent of Canucks fans have wanted him gone for so long

 

[crackdown44]

Imagine being Vancouver and constantly having the problem of having too many good goalies in your system

Imagine...

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I gotta say, pretty happy to see Colorado lose after some of the comments from their fan base after last year.
