The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Prime Minister Koivu said: While I’m a bit surprised by how easy the Rangers are beating Jersey, I’m not convinced they can beat Toronto. Rangers run and gun a lot and playing that game with Toronto won’t end well. Leafs have significant power Every round that Toronto wins shifts the odds significantly in the direction of Ultimate Disaster (I.e., a Cup). I do not want to find out if the Rags can beat the Leafs. Frankly TO has the profile of a team that, if they do finally slay the dragon they of first round failure, will have the talent and momentum to go all the way. I’m peeved at the Bruins for appearing to be crapping out the one time we really need them to be invincible 🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a fun couple games to watch even though neither game has been real close, a lot of emotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Not good for the Bruins.

Hopefully if it does happen the leafs consider their task complete and crap right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Its 3-0 now half way through the 3rd. It surprising how many Booins fans are in Florida because when they score it almost sounds like they're playing at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 It's 4-0 now. 7 hours ago, The Chicoutimi Cucumber said: I’m peeved at the Bruins for appearing to be crapping out the one time we really need them to be invincible 🤬 Relax, it was only 1 game they lost. Likewise, it was only 1 game that the Leafs won. With a bit of luck, we'll get to see Marchand lick Mathews on the cheek while Giordano jumps on him and they'll share a special moment rolling around together on the ice.

Sir_Boagalott Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Wow, that was a super slick set play LA did on the PP to tie it back up just after the Oilers went ahead 2-1 on a PP. As LA was moving the puck up ice and the guy with the puck was around center ice when he played it back to his dman who was still in his own end but skating hard up ice. The dman immediately takes a hard slap shot from just over thier blueline that purposely wasn't on net. The puck bounced fast off the back boards and right to the other LA F that was racing hard up ice right as the shot was taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 I saw a bit of Oiler game, was laughing watching Danault 'accidently" tied up, on top of and holding McDavid down, pretty savvy defensive centre. LA would be OK underdog to pull for if beat the Oilers. McDavid getting those back to back top corner goals, impressive player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After watching all the replays I am completely uncertain if he he did or didn't touch it. It certainly looked like he made contact with it because when the puck was in the air it was in perfect alignment to touch his stick. However, none of angles showed conclusive proof that he touched it. The puck didn't really change direction either, which is likely why they couldn't overturn the call on the ice. Annoyingly, the only angle that would have absolutely shown what happened the camera was pointed down at the ice so the puck and his stick were off the top of screen.

BCHabnut Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 It still bothers me seeing danault play so well for someone else. Letting kk walk was a good move, but danault, not so much. I still wish we would have kept danault and Lehkonen. Both are young enough to be part of a rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we bottom out that bad with Danault. I agree they are both special defensive forwards for whom we'll be searching for replacements for a long time.

At the moment I'm pinning my hopes on Beck to grow into that role, but he's still got a long way to go. In the meantime, I think that Armia is the closest we have to that, and he's definitely not a Danault or a Lehkonen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
