Series Talk: Qualifying Round: Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Rangers

[LokiDog]

Anyone else worried about having a rookie goalie getting his first NHL playoff experience in this challenging environment?

Not really. What if we’d had our rookie goalie all year, or all next year and up the 5 seed? Now there’s expectations. We’re on the outside looking in. If anything this is better. If we don’t win the play in he got a taste before his first full season. If he does awesome we can be even more confident in what we have.

Igor is a f***ing robot.

2-3 week of July

Wait, really?

Since this isn’t technically the playoffs can Panarin go nuts and win the Hart trophy?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

OP is completely wrong, can it be changed so everyone isnt confused?

 

[Tawnos]

By the way, since the regular season is officially over...

19-20 Panarin has the 4th highest P/GP for any Rangers player with 20 or more GP in a season. Zibanejad at # 11.
19-20 Zibanejad has the 3rd highest G/GP for any Rangers player with 20 or more GP in a season.
19-20 Panarin has the 4th highest A/GP for any Rangers player with 20 or more GP in a season.

Qualifying and Round Robin stats don't count towards regular season or playoff stats, oddly enough.

This is gonna be more challenging for older players, IMO.

No, hes played in big games before.

I wonder how players feel about this since they won't be able to leverage their production in future contract talks.

Media interviewers can be remote

Oh trust me... I know. Been living it for 2.5 months.

We might be the youngest team in the league so advantage us.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Can we please ask Staal to stay home?

 

[tlk]

Wait, really?

It's 5 games and 3 games. I don't think they're much worried about it.

Interesting if Bread ended up leading the league in points in even strength

I don't see it there. What I do see is one quote from Bettman: "At this time, we are not fixing dates because the schedule of our return to play will be determined both by developing circumstances and the needs of the players."

and another from the same article that quoted Bettman: "Training camps could open in mid-July as part of Phase 3 of the Return to Play Plan"

 

[Gardner McKay]

Canes are gonna get Skjei'd.

That feels like so long ago I forgot we traded him to Carolina

yeah I had the latter quote in mind

I think the 2-3rd week assesment was from here https://nypost.com/2020/05/25/nhls-return-plan-hits-phase-2-voluntary-small-group-workouts/

 

[Fitzy]

So if this whole thing isn't wrapped up until September or late August, will the start of 2020-2021 be delayed?

 

[Kupo]

We literally cannot get the 1st OA pick and win the cup together

Don’t shit on my dreams bruh.

The start of 20-21 is going to be delayed.

Realistically, we're looking at anywhere from July 13th to August 3rd (given the league's propensity to start things on Wednesdays).

EDIT:Round Robin seems to be qualifying for 16 seed playoff ranking. Not 'OFFICIAL' playoff series.



6th Seed: Carolina Hurricanes 36-25-5 (81)
11th Seed: New York Rangers 37-28-5 (79)

Regular Season Series vs. Canes: 3-0

ROUND ROBIN RULES:
Regular overtime and shootout rules.

Phase TWO: June, (voluntary training camp) July for Training Camp (mandatory). Bettman stated SCF could wind up finishing by fall. So we have a long while to prepare. And I'm glad we have something to look forward for this summer.

Well, boys, we're back in the playoffs one way or another.

EDIT:

4-0. Don't cheat us out of a win.

I don't think they'll pass a law saying that agents can't refer to those points in contract negotiations....
