2021 Playoffs Thread | Semifinal Round 3 | Habs/Knights

If we were to advance, part of me would like Tampa to beat the Islanders. If we were to then beat Tampa, that would shut up those who claim we only won the cup because we didn't have to face Tampa, or that we faced a weaker team in the finaL (the same thing they whine about in regards to 86 and 93).

But I don't buy that bullshit. To me, the best team is always the team that wins a series. Winning is the only yardstick. With the same logic, the team that ultimately wins the Cup is the best team. All the rest is white noise. All the rest is overanalysis.

So come on Islanders. And we have to beat Vegas.

I agree, there is no fluke in a 7 game series. The best team in that series always win.

Always. They proved it by winning.

Sure we did. The goalie is part of the team.

Sure we did. The goalie is part of the team.

Halak was a bit too much part of the team if you follow. Since game 6 against Toronto, Price has not been called on to steal a single game as I see it.

Always. They proved it by winning.

That is how it works (at least over a full round and not a single game).

In 2010 the goalie wasn't part of the team. He was the team.

Time to sleigh the dragon

Usually it's reindeers which work better with sleighs than dragons.

Friggin spellcheck.. yes “slay”

Lehner starting for VGK.

Of course, because Fleury was solely to blame for Game 5.

DeBoer is a dummy. All he's done is second guessed himself to an early tee time.
