Btw, the most recent Cup winner remaining I believe is the Hurricanes, and they haven't won since 2006. Exciting playoffs

Seattle effectively gets no time off- jumps right into another series. Seattle should want to end this early. If it goes the distance, they'll be gassed.

Klinger down, Big Rig next

What's McCann's status? Seattle possibly going into this without their best forward

 

[Zrhutch]

At first glance, just a really good, deep four line three pair team. Don’t have a stud anywhere that jumps out at you, but everyone contributes and they’re three 2nd lines deep. They have to thank shrewd moves for guys like Bjorkstrand and Tolvanen for that depth. Think this is the series where Robertson has to take over and be the difference. We’ve got them beat on elite talent.

Hoping for 6, but probably goes 7. Seattle is pesky.

 

[ElGuapo]

The puck drop times are going to blow buttholes.

 

[Dynamite Time]

I’d like to say Stars in 5 but Seattle looks decent. Stars have the better… everything so we should have it in 6 but that’s why they play.

Go Stars!

From what I remember he's a Star killer too

Meh- not really. Pavelski, however...

Confident in this matchup.

Seattle is built tough as we just saw with 3 road wins.

Think Dallas' best hockey will be too strong. Have to execute.

Thinking big series from JRob

The most i hate about Seattle at this point are the starting times this matchup forces on the Stars ...

 

[Codez]

Bleed GREEN!!!

GO STARS!!!

I’m interested in seeing what Grubauer we face. His wins do not match the season he just had. Is it because it was his old team and that is why he played so well? Will he be the same against Dallas?

I also think Robertson breaks out with a less physical team. Hintz keeps rolling and otter will do otter things.

Seattle-based Kraken fan here, hope you don't mind me commenting. Let me know if you do. Grubauer was hurt most of last year, and hurt and out for much of this year. I think he finally got healthy. Of note, Martin Jones (27-13) was terrific as a fill in for Grubauer during the first half of the season which is why the Kraken kept winning games. Jones, who himself has been to the Cup twice, tailed off near the end of the season.

 

[Stubu]

The Kraken are affable but Roope is on a roll and Robocop is just getting started. And Miro on the back end. However, my palantir says Dallas in 5, not 4.

Has that Corgi made his pick yet?

Still got the NYR/NJ series to wrap up tonight.

I like it. Ease Pavs back in with lower minutes and lesser competition. Plus Seguin earned the opportunity to stay in that spot at least for a little while.

 

[Kcb12345]

Not a fan of sitting Kiviranta. He was very effective vs Minnesota and we could use the pace he plays with

Thing is, everyone was decent in that series but obviously a veteran like Glendening isn't gonna sit. Dellandrea probably saved his spot with his last couple of games

 

[BfantZ]

Who else do you sit ?

 

[roryjones]

I don’t know about this for a lineup. I think pavelski should go back to his spot. I think he does more for Robertson than Tyler does 5v5. Now the PP is a different story. I think Seguin adds the heavy one timer which has to be respected by a PK unit.

I also think Hanley did a good job and has earned his time. Not sure why he would sit.

I do like that Deboer is trying to change things up. But that is arguably the best line in hockey. Have to put it back together.

 

[roryjones]

Who else do you sit ?

Dellandrea but they won’t sit him over kivi. They move Dellandrea up the line if there is an injury. Kivi will not move up and he does not take draws. Another big reason Dellandrea stays in. There is a reason Dallas is the best at face offs and it’s cause they have a righty and lefty on each line that can take them.

So no option.
