Gossip time.Could be. I live in the TB area so I hear & see more about them than Colorado. They have been inconsistent and based on 1st two games of playoffs they still are. Although being without Hedman & Cernak doesn't help, They also have lost some of the role guys who made them harder to play against. Colorado was without Landeskog all year, Hopefully both are ready for the playoffs.
I know I was like I mean... They are millionaires living Tampa... They basically are already on vacation whenever they are home.Winning Stanley Cups is so tiring...
But in all honesty the speculation during the season in various places seems to be to never count them out... but they do seem a bit more tired this season compared to the past few seasons (also reflected in their points total and last games of the regular season). We'll see how it goes against Toronto...
Except we would've had to pay to what we received to move Elvis.Korpi kicking ass and taking names. We traded the wrong goalie.
I frankly can't decide on LA-EDM, because in both cases they're riding the success of guys from one of my teams that I would love to see win the Cup but at the same time said win would diminish pick value for one of my teams.
Normally I can just consistently apply the "Jackets #1" tiebreaker, but it's not working for this one and I can't quite figure out why. Maybe there's just too many levels of abstraction. Maybe it's that the ideal result is indeterminate both ways. Or I just like Ekholm that much.
Yeah, Panthers, if you could eliminate the Maple Leafs as well, that'd be great.Florida and Minnesota for me, so I'm more of an underdog guy.
Bjork could have easily had a hat trick.Bork just eliminated Colorado.
SameRooting for EDM vs tronta
It used to be high-end skill, so “we” clamored for it. Apparently “we” can’t have everything.I’m on the Kraken bandwagon now. Obviously I want Bjorkstrand to do well, but I’m impressed with their construction of 4 strong lines - the opposite of Oilers/2023 version Avs type teams. It’s a model more easily replicated because you don’t tie up huge dollars (e.g. roster crunch) in a few players. Of course it requires some solid DMen and goaltending.
The CBJ has the makings of a good four line team if this draft goes well. The missing element in our 4 lines is solid forechecking. Of course of current D corp, until the young guys develop and arrive is a mess and our goaltending is as lost as the SS Minnow.
