Pickard game 4

Go Stars go!

skinner is a career .908 sv% goalie, pickard is .904

it doesn't really matter who they play, they both suck


goaltending is part of why stars or rangers will prob ship this year

horrible 1st period, but the stars bounced back to win the game 64% xg


best oilers xg: kulak 84%, carrick 70%, janmark 70%, foegele 50%, bouchard 44%
worst oilers xg: nurse 23%, brown 25%, henrique 26%, kane 26%, ceci 27%

nurse best loiler last game, worst today. life comes at you fast


best stars xg: pavelski 88%, duchene 84%, marchment 84%, hintz 78%, robertson 75%
worst stars xg: smith 27%, steel 30%, benn 36%, johnston 37%, stankoven 39%

all 6 d-men in the mushy middle, is that good or bad? idk. at least heiskanen wasn't in the bottom-5 again (he was 57% )

Wtf Edmonton?

CowboyCold must be thrilled, Mcdavid not so much.

Oilers two games in a row great first periods than disappear in the second .
Skinner horrible 4 th goal .
Nurse was horrible as well
Gotta win Wednesday not sure who I start in net probably Skinner

It is leaning this way at the moment, think he will do his final year and then test free agency market where if he has another decent year he will get more this way, but still possible he chooses the other way and waive. It's going to be an interesting next month.

If I was him I waive my contract for either Florida Team, Dallas or Las Vegas or Vancouver

Skin confirmed

Why Van?

I think Vancouver be a great city to play in . The knock is the taxes . Plus I think they are a player or two from being a contender .

Pavelski doesn’t pass the eye test, no matter what happens in the rest of the playoffs, I bet he hangs it up after this run ends (hopefully in a cup for my own selfish purposes).

Martin Jones wants to stay and for the same money as his family loves Toronto which can't figure out why or what they love about it, LOL.

i assume they love the fact that tml might still want to pay him to play goal considering he hasn't been a positive player since 2018. though 2023-24 was his best season since then, but i wouldn't bet on him repeating it.


honestly wonder what happened to jones, because he was good over his first 5 seasons. was there a bad injury in there somewhere, or did he just get washed at like 28?

Bob's ass is the target for a goal in consecutive games.

[Turns TV off for **** commercial]

That's HUMUNGOUS big.

lil bit of both? He was injured for a good part of the season. If can't find a top goalie Leafs need 3 goalies again, we have a young un doing well in the lower league but no NHL experience. I say bring him up for a game or 2 if you can.

A forum of poker players should be able to read this body language pretty clearly.

Hence my guess, haha. Berube looks like he got the nuts and Marner looks like he has like 2nd pair :P

Marner wearing his Jays hat saying "I love Toronto. Please don't make me leave"

Berube crossed arms saying gtfo

Absolutely not Marner is holding the nuts with a no trade clause . Berube may say we want to trade you and hope you give us a list of teams to work with. If Marner says nope I love Toronto and staying than Berube has no choice but to accept that

Well true in that case, it's whatever Marner decides.

He was a product of the once upon a time good LAK D system (14/15), and then the good Sharks teams (16/18). He's degraded from .910+ as he's aged from 28

Berube looks like he's absolutely not interested in whatever Marner is selling.

catz/rag$ game 4: xg 73% florida


best panthers xg: bennett 82%, rodrigues 81%, tkachuk 79%, verhaeghe 79%, kulikov 78%
worst panthers xg: luostarinen 56%, reinhart 67%, mikkola 67%, montour 68%, barkov 70%

best rangers xg: lafreniere 56%, panarin 53%, gustafsson 51%, trochek 42%, rempe 39%
worst rangers xg: lindgren 2%, wennberg 5%, goodrow 9%, roslovic 9%, wheeler 14%


lafreniere was the only ranger who was better than any panther by xg, just slightly nudging luostarinen. but obviously he was much better, he just got dragged to hell by his dogshit teammates. this was an absolute beat down. and yet it took an overtime powerplay goal for the panthers to win. if they win the stanley cup, it will be an incredible team effort in spite of their mediocre goaltender. usually the champion the rides a goalie on some variety of heater, but sometimes it plays out like this.
