Out of Town Round 1 Playoff Thread

[Big Daddy Cane]

What if Tyler Johnson lit up the NHL this season, and continued to do so in the playoffs...does that make the violation worthy of punishment?

Are we advocating for varying consequences of a hit depending on whether an injury occurred? I assume you're connecting the dots on the analogy...

My point was the relevance of Kucherov's LTIR to the 20-21 Canes, or any other team. Tampa is icing an elite lineup either way. There's no asterisk to be put on the Bolts, which is what the desire is to do, particularly in the aftermath of last night.

As far as LTIR goes, I can't go into conspiracy mode here, accusing Tampa of wrongdoing. The league has not found anything improper with it. However, if a rule that requires LTIR players to be activated by the end of the season to play in the playoffs is instituted at some point, that's perfectly logical. The door is wide open to exploitation. Fans are focusing on the wrong team. Toronto acquired an injured player at the deadline to play in the postseason only (Nash). That's egregious.

Washington and Boston going for blood early.

same Boston BS as usual. Other team makes a good play that gives them an advantage, Boston starts putting their arm over the stick and pinning it under their armpit.

Unsurprisingly Andersen isn’t very good today

and it used to get called but even in the regular season now it's not.

I doubt anyone expected him to be.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I doubt anyone expected him to be.

Meh I kinda did.

 

[Tryamw]

Well Tom Wilson embellished

 

[Tryamw]

What did Mantha do? Marchand kept getting his stick on the ref and Mantha.

 

[Tryamw]

More OT..

 

[MinJaBen]

So Caps and Bs go to OT again? That’s about right.

wow, sounds like another great game in Washington. But, honestly I was enjoying our win too much to keep up a lot.

Another series I want to go to 7. Even if we wouldn’t potentially face the winner until round 3, I want them worn down to the nub.

Colorado just had a 2-0 and Binnington just toe stopped Rantanen point blank. Wow

That kick save was gross.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Hoffman had a wide open “reach around” and graves came out of no where to get a stick on the puck.

2 crazy good plays in the short time I switched over

That was an outstanding play at the last second by Graves.

St. Louis barely deserves to be in this game and just tied it.

They’re laying a fat log, but Binnington is in 2019 mode.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

It looked like the goal scorer’s man had his stick held in the neutral zone that caused him to be late getting back

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Just amazing how tight all these games have been. feel so lucky our team was able to put some space between them.

AND OH MY GAWD, WINNINGTON is back!

 

[HisIceness]

Depending on how this 3rd goes, our team might be the only one through the first game to win by more than 1 goal.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

The Boston v Washington highlights were crazy. On Boston’s tying goal to force OT: how does a player get to dive across the crease, including making contact with the goalie and there not be interference? I’ve seen a lot less called interference

 

[Canes]

Rantanen-MacKinnon duo is just...

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Me wanting to watch Vegas vs Colorado vs me wanting the potential higher seeds in the playoffs eliminated.

This is why goalie interference makes zero sense to me.

 

[Wolfpuck]

A Justin Faulk team losing when it counts.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
