The 2018-2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Discussion

[periferal]

Not much chance of that. It will probably be a night game though. You look st the other series it’s hard to see Pens/Isles not being the 7 or 8pm game Saturday. I would be shocked if they got the 1pm slot when you have Canes/Caps and Jackets/Bolts as the other series. Toronto automatically puts the other series as lower US marketing

We don't have a game next Saturday.


Party.

Wondering how Trotz manages the matchups. Leddy and Boychuk get the first shot at Sidney's line? Lots of variables but F wise, TB4LIH vs Sidney, Barzal line vs Geno and Phil and Filpula line vs Bjustad. That opens up Nelson vs their 4th line.

I think Pulock will get Crosby, while Boychuk gets Malkin. Boychuk and Hamonic can play a physical game and that worked when we played them last time for a bit, no?

B2B should be an issue. It’s not optimal for the playoffs but we’re going to end up having to do it somewhere in this series.

We were something like 12-1-1 on the second half of B2B this year, and the way we can roll four lines, B2Bs and overtimes are our friends.

3 on 3 OTs.

B2Bs are not optimal in the playoffs. I’m gratified that we’ve done as well as we have in the 2nd half of B2Bs but I’d hate the thought of having to go to a double or triple OT in the 1st of a B2B and having to play the next night.

The good thing about the playoffs is no 3-on-3 OT. We can keep rolling four lines. Remember they will have also played the same double or triple OT and have to play the next night, but with them having played their top players more.

I, for one, am glad that the year is clearly marked on this thread. It'd be a shame to have it devolve into a tangent about the 2012-2013 Stanley Cup playoffs.

I agree but there should also be a "negative" 2019 playoff thread.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

I'm gonna make a thread: "The 2018-2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs: New York Islanders edition". The first post will be "We're not winning the Cup anyway" and then it's immediately locked. Maybe after that we all go meet at an Applebees or something and talk about the draft.

Hopefully there will be time to get a second post in: "Told you so we should have been sellers! Now we will lose our UFA's for nothing!"

In all seriousness, I bet you see that post, perhaps verbatim, as soon as the Isles are eliminated. Or maybe even down in a series by two games.

He scored a goal off his f***ing face. If that's not hockey, I don't know what is. He went full Doug Glatt.

 

[doublechili]

I made a rare visit to the TML board for a quick peek, and one of their posters said if the Isles beat the Pens and the Leafs lose to the Bruins the main board is going to be hell for them all summer.

He's right.

That scene where his ankle breaks was like "ew ew ew ew ew"

He’s a free agent and I know he’s 35 but he’s still a really good player. I’d love to have him on the right deal.

If he and Lee were on the same team, they'd score more tipped goals as a duo than the rest of the league.

Except for the power play, Bruins have looked pretty sh***y. They need to pick it up.

I had a tooth pulled today to start process of getting implant I don’t know how these guys do this and play hockey at highest level ‍

Boston owns us. I want the Maple a Leafs to win. Ditto for Carolina and Columbus. Game 7 at home against the Leafs, this time Lanny doesn't break our hearts.
