Getting humbled again. Florida is simply better. Even if it's somehow not a sweep, we have no chance.

14 straight conference finals losses incoming.

But it's not like they aren't trying. We traded for Guentzel last year and lost him to FA. We traded for Rantanen this year and ended up with an unexpected **** show. We've let other guys go and brought in new guys. Rod is a hell of a coach who has had one of the best starts ever to a coaching career. Goalie is definitely a common problem that I hope we can upgrade in the near future.

I’ve never been to Charlotte but looks nice and great place to play

Maybe that was the problem with Guentzel and Rantanen- they looked forward to Charlotte and ended up in Raleigh

It would be a valid reason to change course.

yeah you know what, a metro division team hasn't been in the final since the capitals won in 2018. think it's roughly equal parts them being bad and the atlantic being good

It's a fair point. The Metro hasn't even made it to a game 7 in the CF during that stretch.

Another Fun Fact:

Quote:

Of course, nothing comes easy in the playoffs. Especially these playoffs, especially for Duchene. When Rantanen’s shot went wide and banked off the end boards to Duchene in the corner of the goalmouth, with Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner well out of position and an open net staring him in the face, Duchene shot the puck right into a fallen Roope Hintz’s backside.

If ever there were a more apt metaphor for Duchene’s postseason so far, that was it — “par for the course this postseason for me,” he said. But the puck bounced off Hintz’s butt and right back to Duchene, and the veteran got the second try over and in. It put the “ass” in assist for Hintz, but more importantly, it put Duchene on the scoresheet.

Congratulations @rickroll for already sewing up the bracket challenge.

funny thing is the one thing i was very wrong about was winnipeg and winnipeg was where i found all the mispriced series and futures lines so i've lost heavily on these playoffs with wpg -1.5 in stl series, wpg win conference and wpg win cup

i love how they basically never call boarding or charging anymore, and then they just do to start a game. the inconsistency is so absurd

evened up with another really stupid one by the loilers. if they're gonna spazz out when you stand in the proximity of the crease doing nothing, do it every time i guess? free money

To be fair there's no real consistency in calling that either. Seems that the epidemic of facewashing every time the goalie freezes a puck isn't as bad as it was 10-15 years aho though. Or maybe I was just watching too many Bruins games back then.

til switzerland/denmark is a world championship semifinal

is this the year switzerland finally joins the gold club??? no. no it is not

wait, also usa#1 haven't won since 1960? wtf

i guess they brought a young team this year seeing as how their leading scorer is some guy i've never heard of called frank nazar. host swedes should handle them, but who knows huh

Tonight's Fun Fact:

Skinner has 3 shut outs this postseason.

But has allowed 4 or more goals in his other 4 starts.

Dallas on the wrong side of fun tonight.
