2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Round 2

Karlsson <3

That pass and goal was a great sequence.

[qwksndmonster]

Ugh I wasn't being hyperbolic at all. Teams very rarely string 2 passes together successfully. Especially in this series and the preds/blues.

[Randall Flagg]

Karlsson is a god among men. 

 

So if Neil's presence propels the Sens to a series victory, do I at least by default win the Tanner Glass argument? And is the whole series decided by one team's feel-good goon with a TOI of 3:00 total being better than the other team's 3:00 TOI feel-good goon?

This is probably a bad opinion, but so are most of the rest of mine so I'll fire away anyway - I think the Sabres would beat the Sens in 5 games (heh, didn't they win 4 of 5 in the regular season, now that i think of it?) I think we're a matchup nightmare for them, and we have a goalie whose life mission is nothing more than to win games against his former team.

Anyone have Ottawa going this far?

[I-90 W]

Anyone have Ottawa going this far?

Not me I had Rags/ Pens for ECF, Pens in 5.

[darksabre]

They're not even good. I have no idea what is going on right now.

[Taro T]

Anyone have Ottawa going this far?

Not even w/ them starting in the 2nd round. :doh:

 

That Chris Neil is one inspirational leader. :p

[Randall Flagg]

Tomorrow should be pretty fun.

Friedmann tweeted this: "Karlsson had a 2:30 shift, rested for 53 seconds, then played 1:42"

Absolutely man two game 7s. Really happy how the playoffs have gone down so far this year.

[Randall Flagg]

The amazing thing about EK is that right now he has about half the skating speed he had before Cooke murdered his achilles tendon. 

[bunomatic]

Henrik does this moment sting ? ####in reporters stupid ass questions.

[That Aud Smell]

Chris Neil effects.

Dump Nash, Hank and Staal. That's $22mil being wrapped up in places that are easily replaceable. Raanta was the better goaltender this year.

Meh, disagree, agree. Lundqvist did not have a good season, but given his track record of excellence, I have a hard time throwing him overboard for it. He may have finally gotten old--he is 35, after all. But he still posted a .930 in the playoffs, which is above his career average in both the playoffs and regular season. The Rangers probably don't even get to the second round without him. Declaring him finished is premature.

I agree with you, he's certainly not the reason they're losing. (Their defense makes the Sabres look like Nashville). 

 

That's just a steep cap hit, in my opinion. I'm not so sure Hank's constant WTF waves and pouting isn't detrimental to the team either. 

 

I don't think he's finished, I just think it's time to move on. He might be best suited for a team on their last legs of being a Cup contender. I don't have anything in mind, it's just a thought.
