Puck is like 30-yards from those two about to ECHL-kill each other I spose...

Two weeks ago they said Trotz was right for not putting Wahlstrom with Barzal because they would be a nightmare defensively, they haven't given up 1 goal in 6 games but now theyre mocking the fact that they haven't produced .

2nd best line for the isles all season

Friedman thought trading Devon toews was a good idea lol , he's the worst

and its not like that line hasnt of created many scoring chances

HOLY FREAKING SMOKES

I was off CF for 72 hours. I come back and 2 threads-2 FULL THREADS!! 100 PAGES!!!-have been gone through in 72 HOURS. Wow. I've got some catching up to do...

ill never forget Michael Anderson's tweet saying this team woudnt be any better with Toews on it

SCF: Rangers vs. Wild
Wild in 7

TRAAAAAAAITOOOOOOOR!!!!

That’s mildly terrifying.

Because Tampa is going to win that matchup.

that line is getting extremely unlucky. Wahlstrom pass to parise in the slot went off of Forsberg's blocker, Barzal couldn't convert on a breakaway, Forsberg somehow got a piece of Wahlstrom's backhand in front of the net.

I don't care if they aren't producing right now, I just want them to be generating high danger chances, which they are. The points will come. Wahlstrom is shooting like 2.7% over the last 15 games, same with Barzal. They're just all snake bitten at the same time.

There's always room on the Kaprizov bandwagon

yeah if the leafs and Tampa played each other in the playoffs it would also be super hard to tell who is who because there jerseys are so similar

He also thinks Bailey's number should be retired. For wherever reason most of the bloggers glorify washed up vets and its the young guys that need to step up or else they should be traded. Ive never seen anything like this lol. I'd rather watch the Doug weight islanders.

Im going with the Stanley Cup winning the Stanley Cup

That would be wild

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

All kidding aside, I'd be stunned (and legitimately disappointed) if that was the actual matchup. Wild still don't have enough offense to beat the Avs-besides, I think Kuemper is going to have himself a really good postseason, despite the criticism.

I think the Atlantic is going to neutralize itself. I can't imagine Tampa or Florida coming out of a series unscathed.
I actually think the Rangers win the Metro.
Wild are probably my 2nd favorite team if I had to pick one.

Okay guys:
Over/under for next year for points.

Caufield 60
Stutzle 60

toronto leafs winning cup 👍

Way-too-early-not-finalized predictions:

Atlantic:
Panthers in 5
Lightning in 5

Metro:
Canes in 6
Rangers in 7

Central:
Avs in 4
Blues in 7

Pacific:
Flames in 6
Oilers in 7

Round 2:
Eastern:
Lightning over Panthers in 7
Rangers over Canes in 6

Western:
Avs over Blues in 5
Flames over Oilers in 5

Round 3:
Eastern:
Lightning over Rangers in 6

Western:
Avalanche over Flames in 7

Stanley Cup Final:
Lightning over Avalanche in 7

I acknowledge that I'm completely biased, but I don't think it's too unrealistic.

Wright's gonna get 21 points next season, thats just how it goes now

Despite the East being an obvious bloodbath - that’s a pretty tough West. Flames pulled the Preds which is not the easiest pull cough cough JOSI, Dallas could surprise us if they get hot, and the Minny vs Blues is interesting. The only “gimmie” should see the Oilers clearing the Kings.

I’d see;

Avs vs Wild (would be a great series)
Oilers vs Flames (insane RD 2)

Tampa vs Florida (insane RD2)
Boston vs Shesterkin

Leading to Tampa vs Boston, Flames vs Avs.
Currently see Tampa vs Flames.

Well, Calgary wins Pacific easily, Avs wins Central ( winner of Wild-Blues would give them a run for their money though ), Canes win the Metro, and then winner of a Tampa-Florida series rounds out the final 4
