dlbalr Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 It's a day late but let's use this thread for NHL postseason discussion. Early thoughts: Philly still can't get good goaltending and Joe Morrow is probably liking life away from Montreal right about now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll drink to that! Except that it would involve them getting a lead in the first place. I'd rather see them lose 7-0 every game for four straight games. A Boston-Toronto series is always a bit like Stalin v.s. Hitler, but ultimately I hate the Toronto hype machine more than anything else in hockey. They can't lose badly enough, and in as degrading enough a fashion, to suit me. I hate Boston too, but I also respect them for being such an epic opponent over the years. Only after they beat Toronto will I want to see them get the faces beaten into pulp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly would prefer them to get all cocky and then watch the lead disappear like it did in 2013. That day was so amazing. Twitter accounts got deleted out of embarrassment for the amount of bragging which led to complete shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sentiment exactly my friend. May Toronto never have a lead thoughtout this series. God I loathe them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Only one series tied so far. Vegas up 2-0 is interesting, as are both Flyers Penguins games being blowouts. I think if the Avalanche were playing a different team they'd have a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I thought Winnipeg would beat Minnesota. I'm shocked by how easy its looked though. Its total domination and only Dubnyk stopped that series from being two blowouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commandant Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Winnipeg is just too fast. They are first on every loose puck. The name of the game is speed in this league right now. Speed kills. We need to add more of it to the Habs team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their poised to be a contender for a while if they can keep some of their dmen (ie Trouba). Winnipeg should finally win a playoff series after close calls. as far as Minny goes - I get Suter is out, but we have a typical Boudreau team in the playoffs.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I don’t know why a team would do a deal like that prior to next year’s deadline when Pacioretty only has one year left on his contract. If Philadelphia sucks half way through next year, it’s a terrible trade from their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Philadelphia sucks half way through next year, they re-coup a lot of similar assets, see what Rick Nash was worth at the deadline.

I guess you’re right that Philadelphia could trade him later as well but it seems a little far fetched to me. I assume a lot will depend on how the rest of their playoffs turn out. On topic, they got blown out 5-1 today once again. I will still be surprised if Pacioretty gets traded because the goal of our team seems to be to be competitive next year. Trades like yours would be nice if we don’t think Pacioretty will resign at a reasonable rate but I then see it as evident that we’re obviously getting the better end of the stick on proposals such as yours. We can argue about all the emotional relationships certain fans have attributed to Pacioretty, especially since his captaincy and events around that time, but the real reason our actual brass would consider trading him is because he has an expiring contract, not because Pacioretty and losing culture are synonymous. I don’t feel as though it’s as easy as it sounds to get your type of deal done in such a circumstance because the same dilemma (expiring contract) will face the other organization. Especially during the off season where people seem to think this may get done. Teams that make sense to me for Pacioretty would be teams like Pittsburgh, Tampa, Washington, Nashville, maybe LA... Even Vegas. Not necessarily teams that need wingers it teams that know they will be competitive next year for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
