Happy belated Birthday mate Get drunk, do bad things, have fun again tonightBruins win and Oilers lose on my bday
Washington to beat Rangers??? Come on mate, got to be having a laugh. Ovie/Oshie are super exhausted and checked out, team is thin.... 4:0 Rangers was written on the wall last week.I had a feeling that Vegas would roll through them which is looking good now.
I picked Washington to beat the Rangers though. Need them to make me look smart starting tonight.
I think my hatred of the Rangers probably clouded my judgement.
All year Washington have sucked. And yet they've produced results.Washington to beat Rangers??? Come on mate, got to be having a laugh. Ovie/Oshie are super exhausted and checked out, team is thin.... 4:0 Rangers was written on the wall last week.
Canadian franchises are always looking for shortcuts.
The Dallas model was just winning a draft lottery and then getting some homeruns on later picks. Pretty sure every team would love to do that.
Caps 3 downAll year Washington have sucked. And yet they've produced results.
I think the Rangers are the phoniest President's Trophy winners I can recall, so I thought there was decent upset potential there. Close games so far and they haven't played in Washington yet.
The impact on my bracket will be minor regardless, as I have Carolina making it to the final.
Don't worry about that. We really need Vegas to win that first round (conditional 3rd becoming 2nd/Hanifin's trade).There's a glimmer of hope for my bracket now, with Dallas avoiding 0-3
Hellebuyck I think is a good goalie, not a great one. He's just in era that doesn't even have a lot of good ones and maybe 1 or 2 great ones depending on the year.
Jets aren't losing the series because of him tho. Avs have 3 better skaters than anybody Winnipeg can put out there. Colorado doesn't have as good as team as they did in 2022 but they're big and they're fast and they're deep. If they can get through Dallas or Vegas I think they tapdance their way to another cup.
While we're dissing d-men, 20 times the player Adam Fox is.As long as Makar is going off like he can and is, Colorado is pretty much unbeatable. He completely takes over games with his transition/skating and has that game breaking offense.
It's not even close how much better he is than every other d-man in the league. He's 10 times the player bumass Quinn Hughes is.
Yup. Puzzling coaching decisions. Realistically the Oilers are the better team but stapling your best offensive player to Lizzote and Lewis is certainly taking it easy on them.Man Hiller seems like a brutal coach to me. Kings got a better team than they are showing. Fiala on the 4th line??? Arvidsson is moving very well out there, should be on top line. You don’t beat the Oilers by sitting back. You need a blend of coming at their defence and managing the puck on your side of the red line. I wish they would max out their lines like this -
Kempe-Kopitar-Arvidsson
Byfield-Dubois-Fiala
Moore-Danault-Laferriere
Grundstrom-Lizotte-Lewis
Monahan doing nothing in the playoffs ended any thoughts I had of signing him
Even if Monahan was a hero this series I wouldn't want him. He's fools gold.Monahan doing nothing in the playoffs ended any thoughts I had of signing him
