Who is next up to get embarrassed by Connor?

 

[Paralyzer]

Let's go baby! Mc-Cornholio is ready!

Calgary is an easier matchup but Dallas deserves some payback for the 90s.

The Flames are a joke of a franchise and seeing them out would make the 2nd round much more watchable.

 

[McDavidKindaFast]

what do you guys think the deal with Leon is? will we sit him for Game 1, maybe Game 2 if we win the first? will that even help enough to be worth it?

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

It doesn't matter who's candy ass we're kicking next round.

Neither is a great opponent if we're going by this season, on paper Dallas is probably the better match up. Still want to see the BoA.

Should Drai get rested for Game 1? When he wasn't on the ice with 97 tilting he looked like a liability.

I love to see him healthy but even with Drai at 60% I think he is still way more effective than a healthy Foegele, Brassard, or Shore in the lineup. Especially on the PP. So I would say no rest

I have a feeling that his injury is more of a longer term one, so no to that idea. He'll have to deal with it, and they'll have to manage it with pain killers and tape or whatever they do these days. But if anyone can handle that, he'd be right near the top.

As most veterans will tell you--playoffs and pain go hand in hand.

I hope the next series doesn't start until Wed. to give Drai (and Nurse too I think) an extra day to rest.

I hope we bring up Holloway, Broberg, Niemelainen.

For those who don't remember, Holloway spent his entire recovery time in Edmonton, regularly skating with our guys and practicing for a while too.

Would love to. I watched a lot of Bako games and he dominates. He could slot in well here. Give him a shot in practice, maybe one game.

I have felt like the BoA has been on a collision course all year so I will stick with it.

Mcdavid has entered superhero mode so no better time than now to kick off the dirt BoA in way too many years.

Just need Drai to find some health.

I'd rather not risk his health against the rats in Calgary. Give me Dallas any day.

Should hope for Calgary for nothing more than easier travel. Don’t want to be flying to Vancouver then bussing to Bellingham and then flying to Dallas. An hour travel vs like 7 hours.

Enjoy the read friendo.

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

Flames must be nervous right about now. No pressure, guys.

Mood in Calgary

 

[Moregoalspls]

I appreciate the poll

 

[thadd]

What do you guys think is realistic for the next round?
Is it more likely that we see them playing more like game 6/7 or games 1-5?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Does Koskinen get any games?
