NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 2

[Indabuff]

Kane with three

[Billznut]

That line is unstoppable. They have been since Kane got there, but tonight they really are putting it all together. 

[Claude Balls]

Where have I heard that name Evander Kane before??? 

Calgary gonna start running people. This could get ugly. 

And that McDavid kid, he's pretty ***** good. And all the people that said Eichel was a great consolation prize in that draft, they were smoking some serious crack. Jack isn't even on the same planet as Connor.

Many many were saying that THE YEAR they were drafted. Maybe even in their sophomore year. But NOT beyond that. At least not that I remember. 
 

And yes…. McDavid is quite fun to watch work his magic.

“Evander Kane's salary is $1,375,000 and his cap hit is $2,108,696 for the 2021-22 season. His salary is comprised of $625,000 in signing bonuses and $750,000 in base salary.

He has signed 4 contracts worth a total value of $91,175,000. Over a career that spans 13 seasons (with at least 1 NHL GP), he has a total 545 Pts in 812 GP, and 23 playoffs Pts in 38 GP. He will be a UFA at the end of the 2021-22 season when he is 30 years old.”

 

Oilers took a gamble … and it’s paying off right now.

[Billznut]

Back in 2015 nearly every scout and prognosticator were saying McDavid and Eichel were both generational players coming out for the draft. That McDavid was a “10” and Eichel was maybe a “9.5”.  
 

Well they were right about McDavid being a 10.  That other part they were a little off. Lol

Eichel was a generational player, but after years on a subpar team that never made the playoffs, it affected his mental game.

Lucic back to running goalies, huh

Eichel's number was an artifact of dyslexia.

[Pimlach]

Lucic is a big POS.

Eichel's mental game is and has always gotten in his way... skills are great but the rest is an empty shell

Fwiw - local sports talk show has source who reports that "lots" of the Panthers were partying until the wee hours of the morning on the day of Game 3, which was a 1:30 start.

There are probably 350 days a year where they can do this, that night was not one of them. 

[PerreaultForever]

Kane playing well there with McDavid is highly annoying, cause it sort of validates the Murray plan and the only thing that made it fail was losing the lottery. I don't even want a shred of that idea to exist so I hate Edmonton. 

Funny how the Lucic collision with Smith gets a major when he clearly pulled up and Smith is fine while Kadri gets to knock Binnington out of the playoffs. Seems to me Kadri knocks somebody out of the playoffs every year, and yet this year it's okay. The Lucic play was nothing like the Miller one. Sure, the guy's a big dumb goon, but Kadri is without a doubt the dirtiest player in the league and he makes plays deliberately to injure. And don't give me the argument about him being pushed in by the defenseman, he lunged forward on purpose. It's what he does.

That's the hard-nosed old-time physical hockey, what's the big deal? /s

This was rumored to be the downfall of the Bills super bowl game against the Giants.  Those Tampa strip clubs will getcha.

First thing that crossed my mind.  😂

[Wyldnwoody44]

Florida is outplaying Tampa badly, but still 0-0, I still smell a sweep 

[Zamboni]

FL is hanging on for dear life. They need to capitalize on their chances, as rare as they are.

 

 

 

….. Doh!

Reviews should be capped at 2 minutes or something, when it takes this long, it's inconclusive. 

[Eleven]

Couples have created children in less time than that review took.

And they overturned it, still didn't see any evidence (at least from the views TV showed) 

[Wyldnwoody44]

😂😂😂😂😂 Tampa can't catch a break. 

[Zamboni]

The hockey gods want Tampa to lose this game 😂
