Around The League: Playoffs 2026

I was thinking the same. 11-12 days is too long of a break and they'll just win game 5 at home anyway. Of course, that works never intentionally lose a playoff game.

was more rhetorical because you always want to finish, but you and I are old enough to remember teams almost invariably losing game 4 on the road if up 3-0

Why would we want a $7 million healthy scratch and give up prime assets?

Pickford is too much of a wild card to give up for mctavish. For something better ? Sure.

Pickford is the type you play in the AHL for six months to project where he may end up. He could be Makar or nothing at all.

Calm down.

Once again people overvalue unproven prospects. MacTavish has proven himself on the world stage. He’s just not a Quenneville/Little Ball of Hate type player. That doesn’t make him a bust. I think he’s a 70-80 point center under MSL.
