It was a pretty easy call to make when the Leafs head coach is literally threatening violence through the media days in advance and dresses a terrible meathead who never plays specifically for game 1. Clifford was obligated to do something stupid, Keefe might as well have demanded it. Keefe is also a former professional shithead himself so there’s no question what his expectations were.

The Kings and Oilers should trade Quick for McDavid right now to make this an interesting series. As it is, it's going to be a shitshow of Oilers offense v Kings defense, with Mike Smith giving up a few lovely goals each game.

is it true that Mike Smith has lost his last 10 playoff games in a row, of which 6 are with the Edmonton Oilers? lol He's literally done this to them every time they put him in there for the playoffs and they are still using the guy for a 3rd year in a row.. what the gently caress Edmonton

Pretty loving insane that this is the first time I have ever preferred LA or Toronto to win a series and it’s happening at the same time. (Would still love it if the Leafs lost though)

mennoknight posted:There are few things better in life than waking up to a colossal Mike Smith gently caress up They power my existence. I thought the Oilers looked pretty good outside of goaltending though (three of the Kings goals were really weak). Spence and Martinez were getting walked all night. I am not sure how a 20 year ended up matched against McDavid but it was bad.

"The Oilers have been tied in the last 12 minutes of the 3rd period in their last 7 playoff games. Their record in those games is 0-7."

It's not nice to pile on and I'm sure it'll jinx the Kings, but.... Mike Smith lost the West finals to the Kings in 2012. Yesterday was only his 11th playoff game since then. Overall, Smith is 2-14 in his last 16 playoff games.

Mike Smith's 4 prior playoff series: He was actually pretty good until game 3 in 2019.

Winless is games where he has allowed a goal.

Tonight, the Caps will look good in the first period, maybe even into the second. Heck they might even get a 1 goal lead at some point. But then Vanacek or Samsonov will let in a softy and the floodgates will open. Caps lose 5-1.

It just hit me looking at the schedule that out of all the PST West Coast teams in the league, LA is the only one that made it. Vancouver, San Jose, Anaheim, Seattle, Arizona out. Hope we still get a healthy dose of late games in the second round.

Simplex posted:The NHL needs to investigate whatever freaky Friday thing is going on with the Blues and Wild, where the Blues are now the entertaining skilled team who probably aren't good enough, and the Wild are filled with lovely cheap shot artists. Blues have Buch, Saad, Tarasenko, Thomas and Kyrou as skilled non cheap shot players. Blues just also don’t have any good defensemen.
