GDT: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[LittlePipes]

I couldnt resist - went on leafs forum after they lost and told them they had recvd a karmic butt kick for their arrogance towards Coyote fans. I enjoyed more than I should have
Cathartic.

Master class on how not to build a roster.

John Tavares is one of the worst signings in league history and not because of his performance.

2024-25 by Cap Hit
1 - Auston Matthews (F)
6 - William Nylander (F)
9 - John Tavares (F)
12 - Mitch Marner (F)

4 forwards in the top 12.

They're the big 4 my brother. Look at their playoff stats... don't they play like the big 4?

Great players play great in the playoffs. That is how they are judged. Who cares about the regular season.

Umm You get to watch 82 game. You want to thrill and entertain your fans. Playoffs are great but it's only 30 percent of the show.

Keith Tkachuk is an absolute tank these days.

It's fun for the fans to watch regular season games, but playoff hockey is where it's at for the players, and fans. As soon as playoff hockey starts everyone forgets about the regular season except maybe for the fans of the teams who were shitty and didn't make the playoffs. Playoff hockey is the best. The atmosphere is unbelievable.

My playoff bracket did not start well, but the four series winners I did pick are all still alive.

Now, Dallas-Florida, Panthers win the Cup?

Sadly Dallas will win. And I am anyone but Dallas, Kings and Golden knights club.

I've got Dallas / Florida with Dallas taking it all, but it's a tough call and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Florida takes it.... of course both still have to get there.

My disdain for Edmonton is only exceeded by that for my hometown (well, I was a suburbanite) of Chicago, it was really odd wanting Vancouver to win, so badly.

Edmonton is a different playoff team this year. Of the four remaining contenders, the Oilers have played the best defense. They've also killed off 20 straight penalties. I know they lost last night, but I could see them winning the Cup.

I don't think McD and Drai had three shots between them last night.

 

[IronFinn]

They had exactly 3 combined.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Yet they were in the game. Somewhat of a good sign and speaks to their strong team D.

Or that of Dallas.

Cats are a better team. Despite being down, they should win the series. I said the same thing about Carolina.

That is not always how hockey works.

I'd like to thank the Edmonton Oilers for proving me wrong last night. Always good to remain humble.

I disagree. With Skinner, Nurse and Ceci you have the three stooges. If it wasn't for their PP the Oilers would be toast. Also, if the Canucks had Demko in net the Oilers lose that series.

In fairness, it has been better defense.... by Edmonton standards.

Usually, in a seven game series the best team win, all things being equal, but they never are.

The one player I really don't like with Edmonton is Draisaitl.

 

[Mangosteen]

Would love to see an Oilers Ranger final.

Lol the Oilers would teach us how long it takes to rebuild after tanking. Year 19 of the plan

Can't get over that WWII thing? Let it go.
