Around the NHL: The 2024 NHL Playoff Thread

[sabremike]

Initially I liked the directness and the vision. But he always put one piece too much into every deal. And he got combine warriors and a bunch of very broken humans to show his new franchise player how to be a pro.

Murray was Marvin Lewis except he lacked Marvin's likeability and eye for talent.

That was a nothing play that led to Pavelski's goal

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Damn, ticktock bam PP goal with under 1 second left in 1st for Avs

 

[Ace]

Dallas just drew an over the glass penalty after hemming Colorado in their end for almost a full minute. Zero blind backhand passes to the middle of the ice. No immediate drop passes to the point when there are other options or space to push forward.

Somewhere Don Granato’s mind just exploded

And they score immediately on the PP.

Matt Ellis’s head doesn’t explode because he isn’t learning anything.

Who beating Dallas?

I don't see anyone

Shesterkin and Bob can out goalie Dallas. Offensively the Rags are better, Florida is able to grind more. The other Western teams all have problems in the net, and Dallas is shutting down chances plus blocking shots

Mitts gives the Avs the lead!

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Mitts just doinked one in to give the Avs their first lead

 

[Old Navy Goat]

That was a poor goal for Oettinger to give up

 

[BFLO]

Watching these series I don’t see how the Sabres will ever be able to compete against a Florida or Dallas style team. Big beefy bullies scoring greasy goals. 75/25 special grind extra greasy beef

Meanwhile the Sabres are a bunch of 95/5, charmin soft twinks.

It's weirdly gratifying to see Mitts doing well in the playoffs.

It is going to be really interesting to see what Utah does with the move and the new ownership group that might actually be competent.

They have a ton of picks, prospects, and cap space this offseason. They also have zero NHL D signed for next season.

I’m also curious what the rest of the league is going to do now that there isn’t just an NHL run dumping ground for them to offload their terrible contracts into.

They have a little over $15M in LTIR contracts coming off the books this summer.

I'm not sure, but If I'm a player on a bad contract, I wouldn't drive a bag across the boarder for my GM, even if they asked nicely.

Time to start explaining to Joki what measured pours are.
