Out of Town Thread 2021: Part 11

[le_sean]

What a bad call by Cooper Jesus… Look at all the camera angles before challenging.

If that was the Leafs they would have been given 5 minutes to review themselves before challenging.

 

[The Great Weal]

I have not been impressed with Sergachev these playoffs

 

[buddahsmoka1]

I don't know if I rather face Islanders...

Barzal and their other speedy forwards are gonna be a nightmare to play against.. Barzal especially.

You take the Islanders and run.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Barzal and their other speedy forwards are gonna be a nightmare to play against.. Barzal especially.

Aside from the Barzal line they play a similar style as us. In fact, our Suzuki line is kind of like the Barzal line. Everything else is heavy.

So. Go Isles.

I like his hair

Is that a good thing though?

They may be superior to us while playing a similar style, and we know how effective this style is..

 

[Banjo Cat]

3-0 That should be enough

Very likely, but at the same time if the momentum shifts, Tampa has the guns to comeback.

...well, he has outshone Drouin in these Playoffs...just by showing up...

Geez people....let's wait a little shall we? Do you not remember that TO fans were also preparing the next round? And it was 3-1.

 

[Banjo Cat]

Yeah, I worry about them, too. They are still underrated by everyone, and I don't get it. I don't think they are an underdog at all. And then there is the Pageau factor.

We'd have the edge in special teams and in net. They have the edge in coaching. The rest would be a wash.

I think he was being hypothetical.

He's better than Drouin and Bergevin lost that deal, but Sergachev hasn't been as good as hab fans have claimed he is/would be.

 

[Tyson]

Kucherov, Point, Hedman, Stamkos, Gourde...deep and able to come back

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Shit NYI is winning 3-0 ? I root for them, I don't want to face TB.

 

[Chili]

Since the Pens won the cup in 2017 they have won one playoff series. The Caps and Blues haven't won any playoff series since they won their cups.

Bolts have already won two series since their cup win last summer, got to wonder though if all the games played in the last ~11 months if they will start to wear down a bit, especially playing a very physical Islanders team.

Sergachev is still young, though, for a Dman.

Kucherov is the most rested player in the league and he looks like absolute garbage tonight. Just one of those games. You also can’t count them out, they could easily score 3 goals in 3 mins.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sergachev just did a shitty pass that only got the puck out, but it was basically a turnover.

Habs fans if a hab d does that is they suck. Those same people think it's a solid play if a player on another team does it.

 

[Corky]

...well, he has outshone Drouin in these Playoffs...just by showing up...

Drouin is a bit of a write-off at this point, I think that’s a pretty fair assessment. But Sergachev is not the future Norris trophy winner everyone makes him out to be. He’s a good offensive defender who gets points on a stacked team but he is a mess defensively.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sergachev is still young, though, for a Dman.

Yup, but he also hasn't really progressed. He's stagnated, or worse, some would say he's regressed.

 

[le_sean]

Oof. That’s the type of goal that kills momentum.

 

[River Meadow]

Dude, they worry me.

 

[Corky]

Wow, what a shot…Point, difficult not to like him

 

[Chili]

Even if the Isles win tonight it's still 2-2 going back to Tampa. The real point I was making was how hard it is to repeat cup wins. Pens and Wings are the only teams to do it since 1992.

Good call on the comeback though.
