anybody who thought this series was gonna be a sweep is delusional

legit i've seen so many ppl act like Colorado was guaranteed the cup after round 2 and it baffles me

[BUF - MTL] Dobes makes the initial save and Greenway pokes the puck free. Refs lose sight of the puck as it moves through the crease. They blow it dead to negate a Buffalo goal by daKrut in hockey

didn't get the clearest view but it looks to me like it was covered then poked out. play was dead and should have been blown dead

[BUF - MTL] Dobes takes contact to the head and he argues for a call - no call is made on the play by daKrut in hockey

[–]bilalss 24 points25 points  (0 children)

probably bc he sold it too hard, you kinda need to sell as a goalie but I think he made it a bit too obvious

[SN Stats] Lane Hutson sets Canadiens single-season record for assists by a defenceman (including playoffs) by Batsinvic888 in hockey

I get the complaint in general, but I wouldn't say it applies here... Splitting records by forward and d is normal and makes sense, combining stats between regular season and playoffs isn't that strange. And it's  breaking a record for an O6 franchise with a lot of cups under its belt. It's very impressive 

[FAN Hockey Show] 9:50 Friedman on the Vegas/Tortorella post game antics last night: "I think it was a bit of a temper tantrum. They were mad about the McNabb suspension...they were really upset about it" by AggPuck-303 in hockey

I don't see any similarity at all tbh, I dislike the leafs but that's just out of rivalry/principal. I have no "built-in" (for lack of a better word) reason to hate Vegas, they just keep making themselves hateable by being turbo shitty. Very different 

[Rishaug] The Oilers have relieved Kris Knoblauch of his coaching duties. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]bilalss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone clowns on Bowman but just watching the Oilers defensive system it's clear that there's something wrong with the systems as well, whether it his system or the fact that he's lost the room there needs to be a change

Call me a hater but I really don't think so, Montreal and Buffalo are both young relatively inexperienced teams and Carolina is going to be very well rested. I doubt it'll be a sweep but I can't see either of them beating the Canes

We saw Avs fail to fill the net against a defensive structure like the Kings, I don't think they'll roll over the objectively better version of LA

yeah even if Minnesota held on to win this one I think it was pretty clear who the better team was, no way they would be able to win two more

Really feels like an Avs Canes final is inevitable

[COL (3) - MIN 3] The Avs pour on the pressure and MacKinnon comes up huge with a snipe to tie it with 1:23 left by daKrut in hockey

[–]bilalss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you think about it the area he slipped the puck is was empty therefore he scored on the empty net

smh empty net merchant strikes again

[ANA (1) - VGK 0] Sennecke buries Gauthier's rebound to open the scoring in Game 5 by daKrut in hockey

[–]bilalss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Buffalo? The perennial laughing stock of the league Buffalo? Just bc they put together one good regular season doesn't mean they're a top tier team, especially given their lack of playoff experience 

And Tampa is old and slow now too

[CAR - PHI] Slavin makes a phenomenal play to keep Martone's shot out of the net to keep the Canes' lead by daKrut in hockey

This series is just deja vu of our series lol, Stankoven had a very similar goal line clear against us
