OT: Around the NHL

[Gurglesons]

I want to leave this go but... the ‘elite’ talent of both ROR and tarasenko have NEVER in their career been a ppg player... piets, parayko.. yea great players. But St Louis is the worst team in the last decade plus to win the Cup.

And they are a much better team than this Vegas team roster wise.

Chandler Stephenson is a 15 minute C on them. St. Louis had ROR, Schenn, and Bozak down the gut.

Alec Martinez is the # 3 D for Vegas. Bouwmeester was in St. Louis.

Just a completely different level of talent.

They are the only team to win the cup in the last 80 years without a HOF forward in their prime or one of the greatest goalies of all time.

Who of Kopitar, Gaborik or Carter is going into the HOF?

Or do you have Quick as a GOAT?

Kopitar is 100% a HOFer. He's at 950 points at 33 in a low scoring era.

Elite sniper Chandler Stephenson opens the scoring for Vegas.

Hossa was a 80 pt winger in the dead puck era and a 100 pt winger in the same type of environment that Stone has been a 60-70 pt guy in the last two years. He ain't close to Marian Hossa and tbh, he is far closer to Schenn and Schwartz than Hossa.

The whole argument with Vegas is they are good at possession and not delivering. They are basically St. Louis without the elite talent of Tarasenko, ROR, Parayako and Piets like I said.

Stone is as good as any individual player St. Louis had last season. He's the best defensive winger in the league and still capable of 70+ points. The only reason he hasn't done that the past 3 years in a row is due to injury.

The one area St. Louis is better, IMO, is down the middle. O'Reilly/Schenn/Bozak/Sundqvist is superior to Karlsson/Stastny/Stephenson/Roy. But I'd argue Vegas is more talented on the wing.

On defense I think St. Louis was better. Theodore's the only guy on Pietrangelo/Parayko's level.

 

[CascadiaPenguin]

Murray and his glove would not have stopped that Stone PP shot.

 

[BHD]

Lehner is bailing his team out.

 

[BHD]

Oleksiak PKing for the Stars

 

[Gurglesons]

Riley Smith is such a beast.

He ain’t though. Mark Stone has never been a top three winger in the league. Tarasenko has.

VGK playing with some urgency finally.

 

[Gurglesons]

loved Radulov dunking someone on that goal lol

He has been so good this playoffs. Points and just so dangerous when he's out there.

I’m more impressed by Jamie Benn returning. Dude was a force in his prime and is back to that level.

If Seguin even gets close to his potential, Tampa better be careful.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Here comes the crumble

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Vegas is ass, Pete DeBoer is a horrible coach and good lord he’s going to go down with his ignorance.

I hope Lehner walks and Fleury asks to be traded.

How is this on DeBoer?

You look at Perry and you have to see how much he's actually doing for the Stars. And for all those people who want rid of Hornqvist.. i ask they look at Perry right now. Once a net front guy has a few injuries that doesn't mean they are done forever.

Yeah. He’s been very good for them.

He looked like ass to start the series and was getting owned/knocked around. But you can't teach experience.

Every time there is a garbage goal, he's right there. And the Stars neeeeed that.

Dallas! I love this Gurianov kid! Wish he was a Pen

 

[Gurglesons]

Lol f*** you Vegas.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

HAHAHAHAAHHAHA....

How’s your boy Lehner now, Pete.

Pete DeBoer in short time, alienated his starter, sacked his teams offensive talent, and just got owned 4-1 series.

What a muppet.

Lehner was the better goalie and not sure what else you’re getting at.
