The Stanley Cup Playoffs 2023: First Round GDT

[Randall Flagg]

One time in the Blues' 18-19 cup run, I saw Alex Pietrangelo make a good decision to shoot the puck

Wow Kraken again>?

Eichel just smoked the jets goalie right in the coconut

Jets draw first blood.

Hellebuyck is so good.

Yep.  He'll be the second-best goalie in the league next year again.

If Levi could get to that level the Sabres are set in net.

Vegas losing their *****. Can't help but enjoy it.

All the games have some hate on tonight.

I'm definitely enjoying it but I don't think it has much to do with Eichel.  I think I'm just sick of hearing about them.

He had so much open net to shoot at, and he drills Hellebuyck right in the forehead.

I always root for the underdogs.

I could see Jack Quinn becoming a right handed version of Kyle Connor.

Shots are 17-6 for the Jets.

Did Eichel just take himself out of a power play?

[French Collection]

Avs just popped two quick goals to tie it up.

Yeah, just after I said Grubauer was the difference and that he wants to shove it down Colorado's throat.

I think I jinxed him. Sorry fellas.

Wow...what a hit. There is nothing more entertaining than the NHL playoffs. Nothing comes close imo. Maybe the Kentucky Derby, but that's about it.

It’s OK, I want the Avs to win.  I don’t like the expansion teams making playoffs let alone going deep.

[GoPuckYourself]

Avs are so freaking fast, even 4th liners are flying around like Modanos on every line.

I hear ya. It's sad that Vegas and Seattle have had more success as expansion teams than the Sabres have had in 12 years. 🥲

MacKinnon is sneaky fast. He just explodes when he has the puck on his stick. Not as slick as McDavid or Crosby, but he is an all around animal.

He reminds me of Juggernaut.

Fight....fight....fight

[Thorner]

Much better game from Jack thus far. Both goalies have made some phenomenal saves tbh 

[GoPuckYourself]

I don't want this Avs/Kraken series to end, this is the most entertaining hockey I've seen in some time, back and fourth, great saves, solid hitting.
