NHL Thread: ENTER NOW FOR ANNUAL LEAFS MELTDOWN

The win percentage in the playoffs for teams that kill off 5 on 3s is something absurd.

That’s the only positive thing I can think of for the Rangers right now.

 

Impressive response from the rangers to kill that 5-3. I thought we’d go into the break up 2-0.

 

Just textbook smothering defensive hockey.

Gotta win both in NY

 

it’s wild, I feel like ny looks so much better now than against Pitt and they are down 2-0.

 

Great timing with the games ending/ starting

 

Tonight was honestly the first time this playoffs we’ve gotten to our forecheck consistently for a full game. We obviously scored more against Boston, but the games were more up and down. This was just a wipe out almost whistle to whistle, tho NY still has some dangerous flashes.

 

Took over 3 minutes for a goal? What the fuck?

 

Idk if I’d call it soft, but definitely a save you need to make in game like this

 

Lol Smith

 

Now THAT is soft

 

I’m just watching for the first hit he has on Kane and the shit show that ensues

 

NYR are not great at scoring grind-it-out, greasy type goals. And that’s really all Carolina is looking to give up right now.

Need to make Raanta’s night difficult somehow going forward.

 

I have No idea. It’s not like he hit him high, but something looks off about it

 

That is not dirty

 

Looks like shoulder to the head, but Kulak’s head changed position right before impact so he’ll get a pass.

 

Mcdavid is fun to watch, he is at a different speed than the others.

 

He’s one of the few athletes in sports that looks like a video game player.

Even away from the puck he’s skating circles around people.

 

Markstrom is good but i hate how he stays down when the play gets aways from his net.

 

Glad it’s not just me and zeberdee

 

That shouldv’e been a goal

 

Bad break

 

I have zero desire to ever visit Calgary, but the Saddledome is a place I wouldn’t mind watching a hockey game in.

 

That’s brutal for Edmonton

 

Banff is very popular and I hear it’s great.

 

Had no idea Banff was an hour and a half away

 

Leah Hextall is fine between the benches. They do her a huge disservice having her do play by play. Bucci isn’t that great at it either

 

The amount of penalties in this series

 

Buccigross and Levy are awful imo. I miss Doc

 

Not a single shot of Brady in the stands. Huge fail espn

 

yeah, Bucci is fine as a studio host but is way out of his league as a game announcer. Never liked him on the frozen four games either, but at least ESPN and the nhl concluded that having Barry Melrose on the game broadcast would be a bad idea.

 

Good God, McDavid

 

fucking hell McDavid

if you don't call the Tampa 1 the other night then no way on that, will probably be goalie interference

 

By the book, that’s probably interference. But I want that goal to count for McDavids sake.

 

He says, hey fuck you

How on earth was this guy getting like 3 points in 7 game series the last few years

 

he’s a cheat code

 

Jesus christ

 

this series is so wildly entertaining

 

McDavid being stuck in Edmonton is such a killjoy for the league

 

this is so off topic but the USPS running ads on ESPN is so fucking stupid.

 

the hatred would be amazing if he was on an east coast team

 

snipe

 

there’s a semi-breakaway every 5 minutes.

 

Markstrom flopping around

 

This is a different sport than NYR/CAR

 

As someone who doesn’t watch a lot of hockey, why does it seem like I can see the puck a lot better in Calgary?

 

Because it’s in Canada
