2018, Golden Knights vs Kings 1st round: 10 goals in the series
2013 Bruins vs Penguins conference finals: 14 goals in the series
2022 Oilers Vs Flames: 15 goals in 1 game

That game is tied for 5th highest scoring playoff game. the 1st and 3rd highest at 18 and 16 also involved the Oilers. Game tied for third at 16 also involved the Flames. It was the Oilers 4th, and the Flames 3rd 15+ point playoff game.

With Sammy Blais back on the ice, there's a possibility that the Rangers end up with roughly this forward lineup later in this series:

Kreider-Zibanejad-Vatrano
Panarin-Strome-Copp
Lafreniere-Chytil-Kakko
Motte-Goodrow-Blais

This displaces a fourth line of Rooney, Reaves, and McKegg who are, statistically, the three worst players in the NHL to play in more than half of their team's games this season.

https://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?r...e=0&pageSize=50

They'll hopefully continue to have the second-worst defenseman by the same metric (Nemeth) in the press box.

Lol those 3 in a row at the top (bottom?) of that list. Amazing.

And yes that would be such an upgraded 4th line. They can still throw dumb hits and scrum and poo poo but actually also play hockey. I know RAS keeps going on about it but Motte is great and it’s such a relief having a guy with an actual shot on that line.

I think Braun has taken Nemeth’s job. Might be wishful thinking but he checks a lot of the same boxes but isn’t a total waste of space. Fingers crossed.

Mike Johnston was so bad that even Sidney Crosby was having trouble scoring under him until he got fired.

Pens traded Perron for Hagelin which ended up working out pretty well though

Yeah I hated Perron when he was in Pittsburgh but it turned out that was all Johnston. Perron is basically a righthanded Chris Kunitz. He does everything really well except shoot. His instincts are phenomenal. One of the best players in the league off the puck, he always materializes in exactly the right spot a half-second ahead of everyone else.

This is not news to anyone here but holy poo poo Ryan O'Reilly is so loving good. We talked a couple days ago about Bergeron's run of Selkes/Selke nominations but he's been winning them off rep lately, O'Reilly passed him as the best defensive forward in the league years ago IMO.

Anyway the Blues are gonna beat the Avalanche and clear the way for the loving Lightning to cruise to another Cup.

Playoffs are no big deal,

I am not really sure how they use stats for this, but I have read Bergeron is having the best season he's ever had defensively.

If anyone disagrees with this statement, please know that I refuse to understand advanced statistics.

Yeah I should apologize, when I blithely said Bergeron is winning Selkes off rep I don't mean he's not actually still an extremely elite defensive forward, he definitely is. I'm happy to peruse any advanced stats that say otherwise but I think O'Reilly is even better.

Maybe some years, but this year Bergeron was the best defensive forward by any metric you want to use (including "the eye test") and it wasn't really even close

Bergeron was also money in the face off circle. Also he reigned in Marchand (mostly). After all the best defense is not to offend.
