Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[expatriatedtexan]

Trocheck has been so good for the Rags

Best UFA signing since...well...Fox and Panarin

I really wanted the Avs to push hard for Vinny, but from what I hear he ended up where he wanted to go. Doubt he would have come west without a massive overpayment.

I absolutely love seeing Jon Cooper get burned on challenges.

What is that sound effect they’re doing in Florida after they announce the goal scorer?

I kind of liked the Bolts until we met them in the finals an I learned what a whiny bunch of entitled babies they are but holy Cooper radiates smugness like no one I have ever seen before

Yes, cry about goalie interference, then challenge it, when it was so blatantly obvious that your own player shoved Pukechuk into Vasi.

I mean, it was Pukechuk, so he probably did something there intentionally, but it sure looked like he was shoved right into Vasi.

Seriously how did Chicago f*** up with Forsling so badly? He is SO good.

 

[dahrougem2]

That is a BRUTAL call on Chafee for Tampa

At some point these refs gotta call diving.

Bennett has some games where he looks like f***ing Gretzky. Today is one of them.

I don’t know if there is a better pure defensive guy in the league. He’s absurdly good.

10G - 39pts, not really purely defensive either.

Imagine being Vancouver making a good late round pick and trading his rights for 17 games of Clendening who was then added to that Sutter trade

He would look so good for them behind Hughes right now instead of Cole/Zads

Yeah he plays offense just fine, it certainly isn’t a weakness. Just his calling card is defense.

It is also crazy he cleared waivers a bunch in Carolina. Props to the Florida scouts for eventually figuring it out.

The panthers look sharp, organized, and inspired. Impressive period

Best team in the league. Deep everywhere. Great coaching. Plenty of offense. Best defensive team (even if the numbers aren’t quite there). It they make it through relatively unscathed injury wise, they should win.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

oh man, that's a tough one. I really don't want McDavid to see any success in Edmonton. I think I'd take a second Vegas cup over that.

Plus if Vegas goes back to back on this LTIR bullshit, maybe that's enough for some changes to finally happen.

I agree. I prefer misery in Edmonton.

 

[GeoRox89]

Florida winning the Cup with Maurice while the Jets get killed in round 2 (prove me wrong Georgie) would be highly amusing for me. It was well past time for him to go but a lot of their fans have acted like he was what held them back from success instead of it being the roster not being good enough

 

[the_fan]

Few years ago we would have much closer games, tied games that went to OT etc… now every other shot goes in the net because goalies can’t make a save

Bad turnover by Ovi on that one

Equipment, not talent is the main reason. Right when all the switches were completed, scoring went up.

Well jinxed. RIP Bennett

First @TheRarestDangles and now you? Why do so many of our fans have multiple personality disorder?

Yeah...

 

[GeoRox89]

The old equipment size was obnoxious. Guys practically wouldn’t even have 5 holes because the knee rises on pads almost overlapped. Some of it was challenging the shooter more but it was hilarious how 5’11 Tim Thomas looked notably bigger than 6’2 Brodeur or 6’4 Luongo. Ryan Miller looked like a guy who’d never eaten in his life but was somehow just massive in his gear. The trend of goalies like Lindback just being big and in a lot of equipment was annoying

I blame the Avs for that
