GDT: 2023-24 Other Games Around The League

[StrawHatEklund]

Seeing Celebrini was the only thing exciting about this game.

Definitely. Canucks no showed.

pretty disappointing game 7 so far

 

[Bowie22]

Vancouver is boring as hell and averages like barely 20 shots

Celebrini better leave before the riot starts

Agreed I hate Edmonton

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Agreed I hate Edmonton

I also hate Vancouver.

But I do love Celebrini scouting his future Pacific division foes. (That's why he's there, right?)

 

[StrawHatEklund]

Canucks decided to show up for last 10 minutes.

 

[Bowie22]

hold onto your butts

 

[The Nemesis]

I don't want Vancouver to advance but I will laugh heartily if the Oilers bork this up and fail after starting the 3rd with a 3-0 lead.

Celebrini better leave before the riot starts

Canucks fans only show up for riots in the finals. Rioting in the quarters is too much work.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Dallas needs to do God's work once again these playoffs since Vancouver ended up being useless

 

[one2gamble]

We are going to have to bench Macklin when we play the nucks aren't we

 

[tiburon12]

If florida wins, it's crazy how much more preferable a Dallas matchup would be over EDM, just for travel alone lol

 

[LadyStanley]

Florida has never won the Cup.

 

[TheBigDrunkPanda]

Florida has never won the Cup.

As long as playoff Bob keeps it up no way Florida loses

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Florida has never won the Cup.

Me when I see this final 4.

 

[Tw1ster]

Hope Pavs gets his cup

 

[Shark Finn]

What a pathetic effort by the Canucks. Losing Demko (and Boeser) didn't help, but where was Pettersson all playoffs long? Guy was basically idk'ing when he was asked about his performance too.

Oh, and Celebrini forcing his way to his actual hometown team confirmed.

Agreed. It seems like once Demko went down, they decided to go into a defensive shell from puck fdrop.

Losing Boeser for tonight was a real kick to the gonads, and they did not respond well to it. I suppose the consolation for the rest of us is that a Dallas-Edmonton series should be more entertaining than Dallas vs. a depleted, demoralized Vancouver.

 

[Bizz]

Florida/NYR could go either way, but Dallas should wipe the floor with Edmonton.

 

[Pavelski2112]

Edmonton's the team I least want to win, therefore the Oilers are gonna win it all

At this stage of the playoffs I like to think about narratives and how they relate to the sharks. I always like to cheer for teams that help the shark's narrative as best as possible (or make them look as less bad as possible)

To give an example of this pretzel logic, after Tampa won the first time, I was cheering for them to win the second and third time because even if the Sharks were good they wouldn't have been able to defeat a dynasty team.

Unfortunately last year was awful for the narrative.

But this year is tough. Here's how I see it:

Rangers - their rebuild is so impossible to mimic or learn from, thanks to certain star players only wanting to play in New York City, so it's inconceivable that even a good sharks team could compete with a team that has an unfair advantage.

Dallas - if Dallas wins we are never going to hear the end of how pavelski was better as a star and only won the stars and how the Sharks suck, so we don't want them to win.

Florida - this is an sun-state expansion team that's younger than we are, has been to the Cup Final more times, and might win it before we do. No thanks

Edmonton - two of the best players of this generation finally get it done. The model is copy-able in a way, and these powerhouse teams were in division. Even a sharks team that makes the playoffs was not beating them.

So to me, it's EDM or NYR in terms of who makes us look the least bad. Considering all my Friends are rangers fans and my boss is an oilers guy, I'm going Oil.
