NHL Playoffs 2022 - Rnd 1

Great hand eye coordination by Mantha and Oshie.

I like them playing "Country Road" after the Oshie goal, with the arena singing along.  I wonder whether that's his goal song or the team's.

I thought I heard them say that was Oshie’s goal song.

Fla wins it in OT.  They advance for the 1st time since 1996!

In round 2, they get the winner of game 7 in TB-Toronto.  That is a potentially great series.

That sounds juicy

Florida looked very good against the Caps but TB or Toronto will be a step up in weight class.

***** Florida.

True.  But if the Caps attempt at an empty netter in Game 4 hits the post & goes in rather than going off the outside of it & the net then Reinhart's heroics never happen.  Doubt they'd've had the intestinal fortitude to come back from a 3-1 deficit.

Sabres still have a good chance of picking 28.  (PLEASE let Tampa win tomorrow.  Something just right about them having 0 Staley Cup wins since expansion & 0 playoff series wins since the cap era began.)

Just saw the hit by Zadorov. I think it CAN be looked at as a dirty hit.

Well, I'm glad that's settled!

No attempt to play the puck but not overly outside the lines

Should be good. If TO wins i think they'll gain a spark.

I don't like that at all but I think it to be true. 

I donno if that will be enough though. 

 

[Zamboni]

My god Zadorov is an idiot. Hate the way he plays. He doesn’t know how to be physical… And clean. He constantly hurt his team in Colorado… Now hurts his team in Calgary right now. Just a dumb dumb hockey player. At least that’s how I see it.

That clip was perfect.  Two different angles of the hit and it ended before Koharski spoke.   Thank you!

[bunomatic]

Looks like he took it right on the chin to me.

Clearly targeted the head.

I'm usually pretty 'let them play' on these things but that imo is a deliberate head shot and should get him a 1 game suspension. He knew exactly what he was doing.

[Weave]

Right on the chin with a shoulder pad.

Im iffy on how deliberate it was.  It was a touch late.

Im glad I don’t get paid to make judgement on these things.

The NHL is loathe to suspend guys for hits that would've been clean had they been anything but a giant hitting a midget.  (See just about any Chara hit from the past 15 years & the resulting response.)   Guessing he doesn't get supplemental discipline, but it's the NHL so it could be anything from an attaboy for a great hit to a 10 game suspension. 

[Zamboni]

And later in the game he got a penalty for sweeping a players leg out from under him. Zadorov is a dumb dumb player IMO. Hurts the teams he’s on a lot. I bet Calgary eventually moves on from him just like Colorado did.

Oshie switched to it after his father, who was from WV, passed.

I know it's not the same, but in the NCAA that would be an instant 5 minute major and a game misconduct.  NHL, we debate about it.

Fun fact: “Take me Home, Country Roads” was actually inspired by Clopper Rd in Montgomery County, MD, a county right outside of DC. While it is no longer a “country road”, it was back then. I don’t think this is the angle of them playing this song at a Caps game though.

Awesome.  Thanks.

I thought so too.  That should be a suspension.
