Up there with Taylor Hall one for one and third overall pick for Tom Kurvers Getting Huberdeau at the time seemed like a solid recovery move, but he’s been incredibly disappointing for them, no question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Tampa doesn't look good at all. Their PP looks like ours, and they have made some sloppy turnovers. Panthers overall though are just faster and more skilled. About the only even thing in the series so far has been the goaltending, which has been fun to watch. Vasi has been pretty solid, but Bobrovsky has been a tad better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Florida looks about a step faster out there than Tampa. If they stay healthy and playoff Bob sticks around, I... can't see them losing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Haven’t really been watching much but Ovechkin is getting shredded for apparently not giving much in the way of effort at all. Pretty disappointing, especially since he finished his season on a such a surge (23 goals over his final 36 GP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 I really thought some of these series would be a little bit more competitive. Islanders have looked pathetic, and Ovechkin skates like it's a warmup at beer league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only about the record now. Edited April 27 by MadDog2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevils1214 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 It's a shame Washington couldn't even bang the Rags up a little going into the second round. They used to at least be good for that. Also, Connor Hellebuyck....ooof marone, he looks terrible! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lateralous Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I never have been able to get past the training staff needing to take Scott Niedermayer’s pulse on the ice and then Toronto fans showing up a few days later with a “free Domi” banner at the meadowlands. fvck Tie Domi, his mouthy son and that entire franchise. Just watching this team makes my blood boil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leafs crowd just DESTROYED their team with boos after the third Bruins goal heh heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll spend all summer talking about how Marner sucks and that they can’t possibly pay him a penny over 8 million going forward only to give him 8 years at 12 million by New Years after he starts off the season with 40 points by Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
point Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Re NYR and Rempe raises the question how will this affect this division long term? Is LaViollette changing the way hockey is played in this division beyond the 2024 srason? Is Rempe a one off? Will another team go after him 2 on 1? Since he disregards the norm of facing an opponent's defender that does not seem far fetched. Will another team just beat the crap out of him? But the NYR have been a very hard hitting team all year. Rempe just takes it to another level. Turning the clock back several decades on how hockey os played. Apparently to the approval of fans at MSG. Playoff hockey has always been played at a different level of intensity, which officials have been open to; but allowing NYR to win by crippling opponents is hardly fair play and not sportsmanship by any stretch of the imagination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a goalie guy and a Devils fan, Lundqvist has to be my most respected Ranger of all time.

It pisses me off that such an elite goalie had his whole Championship prime wasted by that garbage organization. Lundqvist had a four-year stretch in the playoffs where he was mostly excellent (save% around .930 overall and a GSAA of 25.3)…he made 76 starts. His record over those starts was just 39-36, with one no-decision…the Rangers both couldn’t score enough nor could they finish off series in a timely enough manner. With that level of play, he easily could’ve won a Cup or two in a different situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
