A poor example. Mavrik Bourque would be a better player to point to.

Johnston was 23OA. Hmm.
Timmins didn't draft Mesar and it seems like there were better forwards drafted right after him.

I dont think you mess with a goalie's stick anywhere on the ice. You will get called for interference regardless.
By definition, Goalie Interference in hockey is a penalty called when an opposing player initiates contact with the goalie, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and therefore impairing the goalie’s ability to move freely.
Furthermore, this penalty can be called whether the goalie is inside or outside of the goal crease.

Florida and Dallas advance but both looked vulnerable in that round I thought. Florida looked better against Tampa.
So it should be a decent semi-finals, regardless of whom advances to meet them. There are no perfect teams.

Rangers are vulnerable too, and the two most vulnerable teams remains in round 2.
It’s been a really good second round overall
Even a clock is right twice a day.
There hasn’t been a “perfect team” since the Islanders dynasty.

Oilers were pretty close to perfect w Kent Nilsson as 3C and Fuhr / Moog tandem
Early 90s Pens weren’t too far off either IMO
They outscored other teams. Isles, and Habs before them, were much more balanced teams.

Oilers G seemed to always outperform the other G given the sheer volume of odd man rushes surrendered by Edm
Fuhr & Moog were elite playoff G
Yeah, that’s my point. Dryden and Smith didn’t have to usually. Just had to make a couple of key saves a game.

Rope-a-dope. They've had the Oil exactly where they want them all series long, IMO. And the Oil have also had the zebras on their side. And a lot of Oil offense has come from the PP. I think Miller has done a masterful job vs McJesus, 5 vs 5. And Zadorov on Kane. Pretty much those 2 factors have really controlled the Oils 1st and 2nd lines 5 vs 5. If only Pettersen was on his game. He's not being checked well. He's just sucking badly.

Because they didn’t have as much talent in the group of 12F + 6D
Coffey outscored almost every opposing F the Oilers played in the playoffs back then
I know. I still disagree. I’m a little older than you. Did you watch those two dynasties? I’m not saying they’d beat that Oilers team but they were both better constructed, thus more “perfect” IMO.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Dallas will annihilate their next opponent, be it Vancouver or Edmonton. And Florida won't get past the Rangers.
Although it would be ironic if we had another Rangers-Canucks final followed by the traditional rioting in Vancouver after their team inevitably loses.

Unfortunately I only caught the very end of Isles dynasty w 83 Cup win somewhat in memory banks but 84 Butterfly Penny comeback vs Habs and eventual loss to kickoff Oilers dynasty
So no I didn’t see Habs 70’s or Isles dynasties

Coffey barely qualified as a defenseman. He was basically a rover, a 4th forward. Kevin Lowe did the heavy lifting on defense.
The 77 Habs would destroy the 87 Oilers.
