Miscellaneous NHL Talk XVII - 2018/19 Playoffs

[CanadianFlyer88]

Why did they put a shot of Marchand spitting into a slow mo replay pack of the game?

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Series or season?

Season, too, but I would have given him a pass on the regular season, given the late start, if he brought it in the playoffs.

Maybe he's one of those guys that packs it in when he gets paid.

I am really really really pissed... I cant watch game 7 on Tuesday

 

[kudymen]

I am wondering if the Leafs troll will come again tonight, liking my anti-TML posts like he did after game 5.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Did she just say that we have an hour of build-up before this ****ing game starts?

 

[macleish1974]

Marner, except the beautiful below the goal line backhand pass, did not accomplish much today. Must have been because of his crappy center........

 

[Deadpool8812]

Leafs fans were complaining about the start time of the game. One fan actually said that the Leafs shouldnt play afternoon games because "they only play night games"

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Holy ****, Potsie, you are terrible.

 

[Amorgus]

Ugh I won't be able to watch all of the Stars/Preds game because I have to go into work at 7. At least it's a paid road trip with a friend but still That's TOO DAMN EARLY.

Marchand is listed at 5'9 181, I don't believe it for a second, far too strong to be that light.

Boston does have a couple small D-men in Krug (5'9 186) and Grzelyck (5'9 174) but you can get away with that when the Jolly Gold Giant (Chara) stands 6'9 250. Carlo (6'5 212), MacAvoy (6'0 208), Moore (6'2 210) fill out that group.

I think the difference may just come down to Rask, who has had one bad playoff in six trips (last year), he actually has a higher S% in the playoffs than in the regular season over his career. He had some Leafs muttering today.

Toronto isn't really a small team, I think like Winnipeg, they're used to skating past people and don't use their size effectively.
The only small guys are Andres Johnsson (5'10 181) and Tyler Ennis (5'9 161).
Marner is slim, but not a smurf.
Imagine if Matthews played with an edge, with his size and speed he'd be scary.

Some of you are going to root for Boston all the way to the Cup Final aren’t you

 

[deadhead]

I'll root for them over Toronto, after that???

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

This board will be intolerable if Boston wins the Cup. Redsox, Pats and potentially Bruins and Celtics? Just stab me in the eyes now

 

[kudymen]

Over Toronto, that's about it. I wish I could root for Pasta to win a Cup, but not with Boston.

With Chicago out of the picture, I would cheer anyone from the West over them (Bruins) in the finals

That's more manageable than what the Leafs fans would be like if they won.

 

[Oskar Man]

Why does virtually every discussion have to be about height and weight?

 

[deadhead]

Well, it is Kentucky Derby weekend.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That's more manageable than what the Leafs fans would be like if they won.

Not for me.
be thankful you don’t live in New England

Not every discussion has to be about height and weight.

For example, we could discuss stature and girth.

 

[kudymen]

Watching the Vegas game, I am envious of.... both teams.

One team has Burns and Karlsson on defense, the other has Pacioretty-Stastny-Stone on offense. I'd "kill" to land such players

Pacioretty was a soft choker I guess before this playoff.

Unsustainable & choker, just like Trotz

 

[kudymen]

WTF is this

I have to visit family in Boston every summer and it’s insufferable enough when just the Pats win.

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol. What's he arguing that call for?
