The NHL Thread
For the 5 of us who post NHL stuff, here you go. Officially the season starts Tuesday October 11, although there were tw
No one really. But definitely not the Habs and Buffalo directly behind them. So basically anyone else.
How do you hate Buffalo? They haven’t been in the playoffs in a million years?
A Toronto surrogate? No thanks.
I have a Canadians hat somewhere so let's go Canada yeah ****ing Tampa Bay I couldn't even point to it on a map.
Montreal has a river going through it. The Saint Lauren River.
First finals in the 20s that won't have a Florida team in it.
Avs gonna win it all. Can the Wild just surrender for this game?
butnahhh
5 goals in 5 min is that a lot
tarasenko blue steel :shocked:👍
more like sievestedt amirite
that was ridiculously entertaining and I missed 4 of the 15 goals
reddit fun fax:
Prior to Sunday, the NHL looked into a tampering concern raised as new Maple Leafs GM John Chayka began to hire his staff.
it begiiins!
Lightning fall in first round for the fourth consecutive year
Nikita Kucherov in 7 career game 7s: 0 points and a -2
Of the 103 forwards to play in at least 7 Game 7s in their career, the 5 that have recorded 0 points in those games are: Dan Paille, Shawn Thornton, Jay Beagle, Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov
is that bad?
Canadiens register 0 shots on goal in a period for the first time in franchise postseason history
Montreal is the first team in history to win a Stanley Cup Playoff game with under 10 shots.
Canadiens are the first team to win a Game 7 when being outshot by 20+ since...the Canadiens in their 2010 Round 1 victory over the Capitals
The Canadiens are 7-1 in game 7s since 2004
biggest luckbox team oat, it is known
Colorado/Minnesota in one game almost outscored the entire Carolina/Ottawa series (15 v 16)
which is a nice segue into best/worst players of the 1st round by game score...
https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments...
best goalies: andersen (car), ullmark (ott)
worst goalies: ingram (edm), dostal (ana)
best and worst from the same series is ... something? or maybe it's nothing more than a weird coincidence. who's to say
best forwards: hagel (tbl), carlsson (ana), kaprizov (min)
worst forwards: perry (tbl), tanev (uta), malott (lak)
corey perry being the worst forward in the playoffs really warms my cold dead heart. hopefully shitbag teams keep signing him forever.
also shoutout brandon tanev, i really need to come up with a name for this kind of guy who'll probably end up playing 1000-1500 career nhl games while basically or literally never being any good.
best dmen: lacombe (ana), hughes (min)
worst dmen: carlile (tbl), harris (bos)
hughes and faber are a menace. nate schmidt has had a bizarre career. worst dmen are all dudes i don't really know, so i guess that makes sense.
Was listening to a POD that had those Montreal stats. Seems unpossible. One of the few games I didn't watch. Don't think I missed much.
do not speak ill of the canucks strategy of dominating by having the highest paid 3rd and 4th lines in the nhl under the guidance of their top back 6 guy jay beagle
Here we go
best goalie of the 1st round freddy mr andersen...
life comes at u fast, cant handle the swongs, hockey/playoffs are stupid, etc
Halfway back.
Another PP goal would be sweet.
Yikes Steve Simmons at the press conference on the GM of Toronto
Still trying to figure out all the controversy with his time at Arizona
Tie game!
Jarvis crew sound the horn, of course he scores his 1st
Really needed that from Jarvis. Line change from RBA immediately pays dividends.
Playoff OT can take years off of a life. I hope we come out on top.
whats the deal with the jarvis bros or whatever? they keep showing them every 3 seconds for some reason
