Everyone here and everywhere has been screaming about the special teams for years. How hard is it to fix one, forget both? This has killed us more than shitty backup goalies.
Ben voila, c'est fait...
It all feels surreal this morning ...
I have to admit that weeks ago (even before the playoffs), I had a dream that a left handed shot would score the OT winning goal to push us to the Finals. I just figured it was Lehk due to his size and then I woke up.
As the OT...
Unlike past teams, this team is not mentally fragile. So many times (esp the last two Conf finals runs or the second round loss to Tbay in 2015), you could sense the loss coming. I dont have that sense for tonight.
On a side note, why does Deboer seem like such an unlikable person?
If we manage to shut down Pietro (again not having played him all year has some to do with this), we should be alright.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Vegas has not left their time zone all year. This trip East will be their first. How they react to being here and then go back will a...
We missed out on that 2003 draft BIGLY. It would be interesting to see post Oilers dynasty era, which draft has the most Cups. 2003 would be right there.
All those years I argued with my friends that Pietro was better than Subban, hence he played ahead of him at the 2014 Olympics. They preferred to call Babcock, Therrien and the rest racists.
He is Petry but better and more consistent.
I just don't trust Dr Ducharme's evaluation skills and it has been this way for some time.
Chiarot will be out 8 weeks (ends up at 5)
Price will be out a week (ends up at 5 weeks)
Merrill will be out for 1 to 2 weeks (looks like 4)
Evans will out a loooongggg time (back skating in 10 days)
Dr...
I dont give Vegas that much credit for their regular season, they also played in a pretty crappy division (minus Colorado). It's not like they were playing in the East division (basically the Metropolitan + the Bruins).
But they are here. These two teams are basically the same team with the...
The trick for me is what he does this off season, no matter what happens rest of the way. Playoffs are not guaranteed next year.
I mean using his abundance of picks to protect assets from Seattle (and dump contracts), and also using them to acquire exposed pieces from other teams is a no...
Well if they actually watched the reg season, they would stop being so confused. Our best players (Price, Weber, Petry, Chiarot, Danault, Gallagher (return from injury)) finally became our best players thus joining regular season Edmondson and Toffoli. That's the formula pretty much.
Tatar...
Not so sure about that... The system is working perfectly right now. But yes Petry needs to be there.
The Jets lost this series in the first 5 minutes of game 1. They were reading press clippings for 9 days about how they would be in R3 automatically if the Leafs lost. The same will happen to...
