League feels it was a fine and good hit/hockey play. Guess a good and clean hit is going to explode kaprizov's knee or whatever.

I've watched every game of Avs-Kraken and my impression is that other than not caring about Makar murdering McCann (but other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play???) the officiating has been very much in Seattle's favor.

That's the only series I've subjectively felt like officiating has been an issue. It's been pretty bad in Stars-Wild but not in any particular direction as far as I've seen. Well, the refs were wearing Islanders jerseys in Game 5, but that's just standard practice when the home team is down 3-1 in the series.

Stars-wild has been a master class in inconsistency. loving call nothing or call everything, just pick a lane for the series.

lol as soon as nobody went for it on the dump in I knew that was coming.

The 3 consecutive offsides that were ignored leading up to that may have changed things just by breaking up the play with a whistle, but this was Ullmark’s gently caress up so it doesn’t really matter.

Wrong thread, friend.

Leafs have a easy on paper road to the finals now and someone is going to figure out how to shut down the Oilers 1-2 punch. What I'm saying is the Stars in 4.

There aren't really any teams left with coaches whose track record suggests they're definitely better than average. Maurice isn't a bad coach, just relentlessly, tirelessly mediocre. Hakstol's tactics are bad and it will all end in tears soon enough, but for right now the Kraken are playing their asses off and doing it in a cohesive way. But the whole remaining field are just Decent NHL coaches.

Cassidy's probably the best coach left overall, since he's still in the honeymoon period with Vegas.

Actually no, that's even more true of DeBoer. DeBoer is a good coach but a giant dick who wears out his welcome fast. He has a long track record of his teams playing great his first year or two there and then crumbling as he works his way down his checklist alienating every player. He has an excellent shot at this being the third team he has lost the Cup Final in his first season with.

Brind'Amour's poo poo doesn't work in the playoffs.

RAS has gone on about Gallant's shortcomings in excruciating detail. Mostly it's that he has one plan and no ability to adapt.

That still beats Sheldon Keefe, who has no plan and no ability to adapt. Let's Grind These Bitches Down boys.

Lindy Ruff is the most Generic NHL Coach coach in a league full of them.

Jay Woodcroft is the head coach of an NHL ice hockey team. The fact I can think of nothing else to say about him makes him the best coach the Oilers have had since... (checks notes)... (scratches head)... Glen Sather?

So what you're saying is... Stars in 4?

Love it.

Carolina - Brent Burns and Ghostbear are cool, Puljujarvi escaping Edmonton to win a cup, Rod the Bod is cool i guess
Dallas - Hintz and Heiskanen rule, gently caress Suter though

Two top five teams, plus the 8th if Dallas holds on, and last season's best team make the conference finals: this is bad and boring because their stadiums aren't in places that are cold.

No superstars left in the playoffs either! The guys who finished tied for 6th in the league with 109 points don't count.
