GDT: HFBoards 4/16/2024 | You thought yesterday was complicated.

Boston blatantly tanking for Toronto?

I think Boston is scared of Tampa. Tampa owned Boston this year. Boston owned Toronto.

They'd be giving up potential home ice in the second round to get that match up though.

REF YOU SUCK

He was such a late callup, his parents rushed to Columbus but arrived just after the game started and missed the goal

 

[insomniaddict]

Btw I wonder if the Canes have any motivation at all to win tonight now that they can't win the Presidents' trophy anymore. CBJ up 2-1...

Just casually blowing a whistle with a live puck in mid air in a game that directly effects four teams.

No biggie.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Stupid penalty by Tom Wilson, bit of a dive but Wilson gave him the means to.

 

[insomniaddict]

I know Flyers are awful on PP but could it please work just this time

 

[Divine]

Montreal up 1-0 on Detroit

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Red Wings are absolute trash. And why is Reimer in net. If the moron didn't take Lyon out last night then he should be in the net tonight. This is not a back to back in November you idiot.

 

[TMLegend]

Jeez, didn't realize the Flyers PP was 12.3% lol. That's rough

Guaranteed Torts quality PP

When you go the Torts route, you have to be willing to accept that skill will never be prioritized.

I know Pittsburgh's was (somehow) terrible at some point this year as well, dunno where it ended up. Could've been the difference between playoffs or not for both though I guess huh.

edit: okay Pittsburgh has the 2nd worst behind Philadelphia at 14.6%.

 

[StickShift]

Sometimes you get an NHL game and you think to yourself: “Wow, what a great game! This could be a Stanley cup preview.”

And then you have games like the Flyers/Caps where it feels like they are tripping over their own sticks every rush.

 

[McGarnagle]

Marchand just threw a big hip check and got mostly leg. I'm sure they're going to love that on this board

Hip checks were retired in 2005 or was it 6?

 

[Mickey Marner]

Ah, the dreaded panthers camera angle

Marc Andre Bergeron was around for longer than that.

Boston is exposing itself as the paper tiger that it is in these final 2 pathetic games. On the verge of choking the division title away.

Toronto will beat them in 5 games.

Boston doesn't have the firepower to beat good teams in the playoffs.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I can hardly think a team in NHL history that would likely benefit less from making the Playoffs than Pittsburgh this year. I can easily see how it might unfold... Barring something crazy, they will get their arse handed to them by the Rangers, then Fenway Sports Group will give Dubas a mandate of "ok we're in the playoffs, improve the team at all costs!" Dubas will say "Yes! Ok!" and do the only thing he knows how to do and trade next year's first as well, which ultimately just helps set the inevitable rebuild up even further.

Wings just tied near the end of the period. Huge goal

Or they're going half speed and throwing them because Toronto is a significantly easier matchup than Tampa

Curious to see how hard Toronto tries tonight.
