Post-Game Talk: Us versus them (or is it us vs us?)-7:00 PM-5/9-Their House

[violaswallet]

"Tis better to have loved this core and be disappointed than never to have loved a core."--Lord Tennyson on the 2022 Florida Panthers

The most dominant team in hockey is at a cross-roads: can this core beat a backup goalie with a +3.00 GA and a sub 900 save percentage in the regular season?

Expected forward lines:

Expected d-pairings with updated team photos:

Finally our Russian goalie paid more than 5X their Russian goalie

The other team? On a philosophical level as the Devils, Islanders and Lightning have shown us, the force that determines Panthers loses is ultimately the Panthers. As of now, we expected
8-92-77
90-19-39
24-20-73
22-26-21
42-74
9-3
57-2
30
41

(Updates to come; I'm travelling tomorrow and wanted the base up)

I wish Brunette would show the coaching prowess JKidd has and the Panthers show the heart the Mavs have shown against a markedly better team

If I'm reading that chart right, when the road team wins game 4 to tie the series, they win this series 56.5% of the time.

And when the home team wins game 5 to go up three two in the series, they win the series 80.7% of the time.

I don't think I have thick enough skin for this series. Think I'm gonna scoreboard watch the next couple games/the rest of the series.

I'll be checking in here to watch things unfold. Enjoy the ride, everyone.

Haha as a lifelong Pittsburgh citizen and pens fan , even after all our cups since 1991 , I still get nervous watching playoffs. We have a miniscule chance this year and if we go down I'll be pulling for either you guys or the Avs. Im a fan of good talented high scoring teams,such as those of ours that won cups,that can play post season defense as well .

Hope they do and hope you guys show the Rangers the door. Good luck!

Second that!

Lmao love the lineup pictures

 

[BeezKnees]

Huge game. Go down 1-3 or tie this thing up and head home with momentum?

 

[Two4Fighting]

I feel like I am watching Bruno being out-coatched, on game 3, I was asking out loud, Why are we not playing our game? Why are trying to become hitters instead of playing the game we know and works, it worked for 82 games, Toronto is still playing the same game, why can't we?
I think Bruno needs to go back to what it works
All of the suden, we are getting beat badly with a lot of goals from a team that barely got into the playoffs.
It is hard not to see the writing on the wall, all Washington needs to do is get one more win, that is just crazy.
This is our only chance and maybe next year in a decade to make at least to a final with this players.
It has been an underwhelming experience and dissapointing to the fans.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Wilson doubtful again FYI, really need to take advantage. Just win.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Effort level's gotta be through the roof, what we saw Saturday ain't gonna cut it.

And when the home team wins game 5 to go up three two in the series, they win the series 80.7% of the time.

Also, the team that’s up 2-1 wins 70% of the time, and the team that wins game 3 to go up 2-1 wins 67.4% of the time.

Not sure which to believe in

 

[Sticksandsun]

I had Florida in 6. For as bad as they've looked, a win puts them back in the driver's seat.

Lmao love the lineup pictures

Glad you enjoyed. Took way too long. I’m particular proud of Montour, Bob, and Barky; Weegar was too easy.

You got the wrong Yandle picture

 

[Boothinator]

Can they at least get their asses up?

 

[violaswallet]

You got the wrong Yandle picture

Matheson lost us a series single handedly; Yandle never did

Mandle then? Should’ve photoshopped their faces together.

Why does Reinhardt look like he's dying
