NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[Beef Invictus]

I'm waffling between Carolina won and the Isles lost.

They had 1 shot in the third. That was a Hakshell for the ages.

Well you can't win by filling the net. Very important moral victory for the Honky team

 

[Beef Invictus]

Briere, and Jones are idiots

This was enough

I witched games with 5:00 left, wasn’t expecting to see 3 Carolina goals

 

[Flyerfan4life]

wait... i thought you cant win by filling the net ?

McDavid is a cheat code

Meant to post this earlier, but I realized Stone's voice is only a couple notes below a perfect Shoresey

 

[wankstifier]

Zach Hyman's parents are early contenders for the Conn Smythe

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

God that's awful goal.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This has been said about several cores that were kept together and eventually won Cups, though

What core was kept completely intact?

When Caps won it was after Semin, Green and Alzer were gone. All 3 guys were once "Core" guys

When TB won it was after moving on from Bishop and Stralman who were core pieces of teams that "Couldn't get over hump"

Famously the Wings traded Ciccarelli, Coffey and Primeau in major shakeup of core/team after 96 playoff exit

And Caps and TB both also made major trades of young high profile NHL talents that were supposed to be core pieces/stars to build around in Drouin and Varlamov

 

[flyerslducks]

Man I hate Vegas, hope they lose

 

[ellja3]

Yeah, I am absolutely enjoying dissing on NYI instead of us being those with 12 shots in the entire fecking game.

Watching kings oilers highlights I just realized Jets drafted Laine, cut the bait and traded him fo PLD, cut the bait again and have Vilardi now. Interesting to see them pivot twice after investing so much capital in a player/deal. Meanwhile flyers can't bring themselves to trade seeler.

The Canucks are caf***ed

 

[Beef Invictus]

I have One Idea for a rearrangement.

Into Metro: TB and FL

Into Atlantic: Columbus, NYI.

We fix the ridiculousness that is having the two outlier Florida franchises in the NE division. If anything this will serve Bettman's obsession with US TV contracts more, because playing most Metro teams will draw a lot more attention than the Canadian ones. Meanwhile, having a NY team play Canadian teams has to boost viewship of the Isles a ton.

We get rid of Ohio.

Beef is a genius.

Can we also re-name the metro while we’re at it?

 

[Cody Webster]

That's going to be a huge blow

 

[Curufinwe]

It should be this. Who cares if Philly plays the Pens 3 times a year or 4 times a year?

NJ

Beefpolitan has a good ring.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Just bring back the old divisions and 1-8 format. It was way better imo

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Have you guys stopped to think about RIVALRIES?!?!?

 

[GKJ]

The Flyers and Penguins both definitely care that they be in the same division, that was brought up the last few times they went through realignment. You also had Crosby passing through New York however many times.
