Playoff Discussion Thread #2

Can't think of anything funny right now so Im just reminding everyone that the Vegas Golden Knights circumvented the salary cap and still missed the playoffs

VAN Canooks will be the most penalized by CAP-$$$-rank, &
Finally Luongo is off the books (whew) to be replaced by CanNuckle-legends - Holtby/Jakey V!!!!

The hits from "Bimbo Jenning" just keep on giving and giving and giving and....

Speaking of Vegas

Can we talk about the fact David Kampf has more playoff goals than Jack Eichel

Rip Vegas, Rip Eichel

Lmao @ los angeles what a bunch of bums

I knew this was gonna happen

Especially once Doughty was out

Only hope was Quick and he while he stole game 1 has just not got enough support to survive. Unless there is a massive shift and Kings rediscover their game yeah Oilers gonna continue to embarrass them

That said Kings are one or two pieces away from being scary next season. But they will need to stay healthy to pull it off.

Would not be surprised if during the offseason they trade for Scheifele and Chycrun

there are Condors at the Oilers game tonight, I find that pretty cool

Evander Kane Hatty, 8-2

Chychrun for sure but Scheifele isn't what the Kings need. Their wingers are moot. Very little scoring threats at the peak of their roster. Forsberg maybe??

Man I don't 8-2 see what Edmonton's doing right now.

Forsberg would also be good. He and Arvidsson were good buds in Nashville and when he got traded man was Forsberg unhappy

Honestly though and this is an off the gate prediction

Were gonna see a trade between Philly and the Kings

Philly will send Sanheim + Konecney to LA and Kings will send picks and prospects to Philly

Another ruthless performance from the @EdmontonOilers. 😤#StanleyCup | #LetsGoOilers pic.twitter.com/RV1JdAI2l9

The Kings were getting booed off the ice by their fans, LOL

Bouchard is quietly on a tear

4 assist in his first 3 playoff games!!!

Evander Kane had 3 goals, 8 hits, and 9 shots on goal tonight

5 I think. Pretty sure he got it this game. Pretty amazing

my bad your right he has 5 assist

Kane, Hyman, Drai, and Nuge all have more goals then entire fLames team these playoffs

Oilers are peaking at the right time.

I wouldn’t call it peaking, I’d call it expected domination, I knew Edmonton’s forwards would overpower LA, though you could argue a round 1 win will be their peak because Mike Smith/Koskinen is not good for a deep playoff run

MM16 Postgame Soapbox
Game 3 - TOR 5 - 2 TBL

Solid defensive effort by the leafs. Great special teams. Controlled the game for the first 30 minutes, after the Ross Colton goal we were chasing the game. Not a huge fan of that but we weathered the storm and Campbell stood tall for us. All in all, good game. Would’ve loved to see us play the full 60 with the intensity of the first half. On to game 4 in tampa with an opportunity to push Tampa to the edge.

Guaranteed he's playing injured

But not Mcgarbage.

The second I switch the Oilers and Kings from my bracket the Oilers go on a tear.

Thank me Oilers fans, I’m really the jinx lord.

We have gone through 20 playoff games so far

12 of those games were blowouts (3 or more goal wins)

The Oilers will make it to the SCF if Mike Smith gives them at least average goaltending

That's a hot take, I wouldn't trust the Oilers team unless their Defence and Goaltending played amazing and their forward depth showed up
