Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 22, 2024 Author Share Posted April 22, 2024 I don’t like Ullmark in net. He was terrible last year against Florida. I get that Boston rotated goalies all season but this is the playoffs man. Swayman played great last game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 23, 2024 Author Share Posted April 23, 2024 2-2 😱 End of second. Ullmark makes me nervous. He has made some good saves but he is flopping and giving rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t argue, he made some great saves and he isn’t the reason bruins lost. Toronto was the better team unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 Mathews must win a few games but he can't win all 4 by himself. Plus, the longer the series goes the better it is for all Habs fans. i.e. let both of the Habs biggest rivals wear each other out so neither win the Cup.

Sir_Boagalott Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 Well, that certainly wasn't what I tuned in to see. Geez, what a collapse that was. After the Laffs game I put on the NYI vs Cannes game. When I put the game on it was 3-2 NYI with about 3:30 mins left. After watching for 1 min the Cannes scored to tie it up and then 10 seconds later they scored again to go up 4-3. They got an empty netter 1 min later. Apparently, the NYI were up 3-0 before the 3rd period started and only had a few shots on net the entire period. The Cannes are now up 2-0 in the series.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 The Leafs were the hungrier team and deserved to win. The Hurricanes were relentless after being down 3-0, Patrick can't be too happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 23, 2024 Author Share Posted April 23, 2024 Edmonton looks like they could sweep the series. LA looks shell shocked, like they are barely holding on. Can’t believe the Islanders blew a three goal lead. Not sure they have a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 23, 2024 Author Share Posted April 23, 2024 The play by play guy for the leafs game last night after Mathews scored, “well there it is! Goal number 70 for Austin Mathews” Thats not how it works you leaf homer I dislike the team but the media around the leafs is intolerable.

alfredoh2009 Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 I watched the end of the NYI game. I am cheering for St-Patrick. They were in defending mode early in the 3rd and static in their zone (per RDS commentators) ; so at that point I thought that they may screw up. But I was still hoping for a main for them. 10 hours ago, Sir_Boagalott said: Well, that certainly wasn't what I tuned in to see. Geez, what a collapse that was.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted April 23, 2024 Author Share Posted April 23, 2024 Sources tell @DailyFaceoff: #Canucks Thatcher Demko is out for Game 2. His status for the series is questionable. What a kick in the face for Vancouver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moved to the Vancouver area during the "West Coast Express" era and was appalled when the fan base rallied in support of Bertuzzi when he viciously ended Steve Moore's career. Then I heard endless fan moaning about "the Sedin Sisters" (until 2011, when that garbage finally shut up). I wanted no part of Canuckleheads Nation. However, I find myself feeling these days that they've suffered enough. This is a traumatized fanbase, rife with pessimism and a sense of perpetual doom and gloom; and to lose the devastating way they did in 2011, to be followed by over a decade of complete managerial ineptitude, has been years of unremitting agony for these fans. Even this year - a magical year by any measure - huge chunks of the fanbase could not bring themselves to even hope that the team was for real. It was almost comical; I made money by betting my friends that the Canucks would make the playoffs. Naturally they couldn't make that bet fast enough. This fanbase is always waiting for the anvil to fall on its head. This team also has players on it that are right up my alley - particularly Quinn Hughes, who is a real artist. But they have a lot of quality players I either respect or like, including Demko. So yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing them go all the way this year. It's not going to happen now, IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why I actually like the Canucks but it might be because they are the only Canadian team that hasn’t offended me. Leafs, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa - I strongly dislike for one dumb reason or another but the Canucks are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought DeSmith did quite well this year but it turns out he didn’t. Simply when he faced the Habs. I still think they could win a round with him but their cup aspirations may indeed go out the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, as I have said many times, fan is short for fanatic, absolutely no logic behind being a fan. You are either a Habs fan or you are not, there is no middle ground.
