Nicomo Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Johnny Hockey can’t buy a goal. 0-3 on breakaways. Avs are going to take this. So glad they didn’t get Hughes or Kakko. They’re going to be really good for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Pekka is back to being the Pekka we all know: absolutely abysmal in net in the post season Preds down 4-2 to Dallas, late in the 2nd EDIT: make that 5-2 early 3rd EDIT 2: Boyle sets up a good sequence with a solid forecheck. Let’s see if Pekka can not suck Edited April 20, 2019 by jagknife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The Predators have looked awful. Aside from forsberg, they’re really lacking talent in their forward group. Rinne and their vaunted D have been poor down the stretch and it’s carried over into the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot garbage being relative for a supposed top playoff team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s inexplicable that they are dead last on PP with that roster but they also spend all two minutes trying to set up low percentage blasts from the point.

That forward corps should be good enough to win with that D and a top goalie, but it’s hard when the top goalie sh!ts the bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Not at all surprised that the Blues knocked off the Jets - hot team down the stretch still playing strong. Not surprised Leafs/Bruins is going 7, same for Vegas/Sharks - I picked both of those to go the distance. Colorado looks strong - early on their top line and main 3 guys were on fire at the start of this season, then they cooled off, and now it seems like they're back to being dominant. I'm not that surprised that the Caps murdered the Canes at home last game, and part of my thinks they'll get the job done tonight on the road, but I wouldn't be too surprised if the Canes force Game 7 as well, and if they do, I think it could still be a toss up. Also, every year I always wonder if this is the year that the Cup goes back "home" to Canada. I mean, the sport was started there, and Canadians have so much pride in their teams, yet none of their teams have won since 1993. Before Winnipeg came back, there was 6 teams out of the then 30 in the league, so math would suggest there would be an average chance of one of them winning every 5 years. Pretty remarkable that it's been 25. With 3 Canadian teams makin the post season this year you'd figure that's a pretty decent chance one of them may make a decent run at bringing the Cup back there, especially with Calgary being one of the front-runners, yet here we are and nearly all 3 of them could be knocked out in the first round. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
