Cartoon Man posted:So if you’re the Rangers, do you want to play the Penguins or the Caps in round 1? Cause the math could work out so that the final game of the season on Friday between the Caps/Rangers decides their opponent. Caps, their goaltending is the worst of the playoff teams.

fawning deference posted:Nashville is a really fun team this year and even though the Avs are obviously likely to win the series, it could be tougher for them than people think. Josi/Duchene/Forsberg with Saros in goal plus Granlund/Johansen/Jeannot is a nice group. Saros could be injured though….

Cartoon Man posted:Trivia time! Who was in net for Columbus when the Caps played them in round 1 back in 2018? Columbus was up in the series 2-0, game three went to double overtime and the Caps pulled out the victory and would go on to sweep Columbus right on out the door. Grubauer

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.

CBJSprague24 posted:Evander Kane's working out pretty well for a guy with a massive gambling problem and domestic violence allegations that probably shouldn't have been working out well currently in the NHL, huh? I mean, no one said he was not a good hockey player. Plus, he has to know there’s a lot of scrutiny on him right now and he is essentially playing in a contract year. He has a lot of incentives to not be a piece of poo poo. That said, he is absolutely a horrible person and shouldn’t be playing in the NHL.

Jhet posted:Yeah. Least concerned about Gaudreau. It’s Fiala and to an extent Boldy who are not pulling it. You can forgive Boldy a little as a rookie for having some off games and shifts, but Fiala has had 5 of them now in a row, but he’s not lacking in opportunities. When Fiala was with the Preds he was king of “that was a great scoring chance how did he not score?” This year looking at the numbers it’s like “oh he finally got over the hump.” Maybe he is still streaky.

Look, I am all for Pitrsburgh’s stars retiring and the team starts tanking. But I know what you all are secretly advocating: Crosby, Letang and Malkin all retire, Pittsburgh tanks and gets Bedard next year. And I am here to state , if that happens, it would confirm to me that God is both real, and a vengeful , merciless god who only wants suffering and pain.

The Dirty Burger posted:Sucks for Wild fans that they got bounced in 5, because with $13mil of dead cap coming next year from the buyouts you can’t even lie to yourself and say that they will be back better next year St Louis has big holes on defense and that was before half their D got injured. Their scoring depth is good, but I would a lot them as a dark horse. Just like when they won the cup in 2019.

Both outcomes are just great stories… you either get two teams that struggle to get out of the first round facing eachother and guaranteeing one gets to the third, or a second round of the Baffle of Florida which could be incredible. Dude , I am stoked.

Eric the Mauve posted:I find it hard to imagine Crosby couldn't go two days ago but is totally OK now. The Rangers will resume targeting him and I'm worried about him. Time for me to remind everyone that Nashville got hosed in game one on that offsides review specifically, and in my opinion a few calls like that were enough to tilt it to Pittsburgh. No lie , I’m still very bitter about 2017 and it’s been 5+ years now. My best friend is a huge Penguins fan, we legit didn’t talk for like, 3-4 months after that playoff series (obviously also life is busy, etc).

Ginette Reno posted:The funny thing about the game tomorrow is I think it's tragic either way. Either the Penguins blow a 3-1 lead which has a certain level of tragedy to it despite the Penguins' injury trouble or the Rangers come all the way back to force a game 7 and then lose to a team they probably should have been able to beat in 5 or 6 given their injuries. I agree, have a mini black hole occur, get rid of both teams, have no winner.

Levitate posted:I just want the Rangers to play a good game of hockey even if they lose Wtf no. Like , let’s be clear here, I have a strong hate for the New York Rangers , they suck, and it’s infuriating that not only does their “rebuild” take barely 2 years, but that they also get another generational goalie during it to replace Lundquist. This is bullshit , Rangers deserve to suffer for years. But that said. gently caress the Pittsburgh Penguins. I hope they lose, j hope they lose bigly, and I hope that they are bad for 10 years and don’t get another generational talent. I hope they burn in hell. I then hope the Rangers get crushed in 4 by Carolina.

https://theathletic.com/3334360/2022/05/26/connor-mcdavid-oilers-playoff-run/?source=user_shared_article “His 2.27 points-per-game is the highest of any player to play 10 or more games with the next closest (after teammate Leon Draisaitl this year) being Jake Guentzel and Sidney Crosby in 2017-18 with 1.75. In fact, there have only been two other instances where a player had a higher points-per-game average: Wayne Gretzky in 1982-82 (2.38) and Wayne Gretzky in 1984-85 (2.61). McDavid is the first player in 30 years to average over two points per game in the playoffs, with the last being Mario Lemieux in 1991-92 who also had 2.27 points per game. It’s something that’s only been done six other times in the modern era.” “In these playoffs, McDavid has already earned 1.5 wins of value in just 11 games — an 82-game pace of 11.2 wins. Eleven wins. ELEVEN! That’s nearly twice as much value as he was projected to earn which is already an incredibly high bar. Playoff McDavid is basically Double McDavid which feels absolutely ridiculous to write and yet absolutely spot-on while watching him.” “On average, the best NBA player has been worth 18.5 wins over the last five years which is twice as good as a top 30 player and 6.3 times better than an average NBA player. McDavid’s playoff pace on the other hand is 2.7 times better than a top-20 forward (to account for the difference in league size) and a staggering 11.9 times better than an average NHL forward. The relative difference is astonishing — it’s McDavid vs. The World. “ “It’s only been 11 games, but in that time McDavid has looked as singularly dominant as a top-tier NBA superstar — and his relative impact may be even larger. The best and brightest the NHL has to offer have arguably never been better or brighter, and at the very top of that peak is McDavid. He stands alone. He’s putting up NBA-type numbers, looking unstoppable every time he steps on the ice.” Connor McDavid is uhhhhh, very good and literally putting up NBA level numbers despite playing a portion of what NBA players play in terms of time on ice.

Starsfan posted:Supposedly Duncan Keith was really good against the Oilers in general and McDavid specifically in that lockout bubble opening round match the teams played. I remember this being talked about at the time of the Keith trade, that the Oilers became enamored with the player because of that one 4 game series. Hockey players truly are really , really dumb so this checks out.
