Mark Vader Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Not the best game by the Sharks last night, but they got the win and the sweep. The Ducks decided to not just hit everyone and actually concentrated on hockey, and they ended up playing their best game of the series, but it was too little too late. Great game by Martin Jones, who also had an outstanding overall series. On to Las Vegas now, and the Sharks match up very well with the Golden Knights. Should be an exciting series. Joe Thornton will more likely return for this series. GO SHARKS!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Pens/Flyers snooze fest. Keith Jones basically saying that the Flyers played in awe of the Penguins and for some reason are not approaching them in a physical manner like a fierce rivalry with some good old fashioned hatred. His point being that if you are going to leave Crosby alone and not hammer him to death he will "eat you alive". M.M. followed up by saying really tough, physical play is frowned upon now, you are going to get into trouble for going that route, and we just aren't going to see it anymore as in years past in his opinion. I.E., both guys are basically saying the Flyers only shot at beating Pitt was to goon it up and really turn the series into a war, but for whatever reason they just didn't go there and the result is an easy series win (most likely) for the Penguins. As someone who really misses physical hockey with fighting, their comments are really depressing. But the game has changed, it's nothing new, and man, it has never been more boring. Plenty of physicality from the Jets and Tampa has been laying it on the Devils. Watch Winnepeg next time they play at home, they wreck people. Goon hockey isn't coming back but don't tell me you can't be physical and wear down talented players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 CAPS Jackets doesn’t go to OT. EMPTY netter gives the CAPS a 3 goal lead. Caps win 4-1 excellent game and the series is tied 2-2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Can one of these million teams down 3-1 make a miracle comeback. The easy money says no chance, but you never know. Each team that is down 3-1 has major issues that preclude them from even taking game 5, let alone making a miracle comeback. For my Devils, missing 4 breakaways in game 4 has in all likelihood cemented their season and the John Tavares watch goes on high alert for them the second their final whistle blows. JVR is a close second for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 i said it at the time, and Don Cherry went on for 3 minutes post-game about the two killer goals on the Leafs. On a 2 on 1, the goalie is trained on the puck and relies 100% on the defenseman to cover for the other guy. Both times the Leaf bozo defenseman wandered to the puck carrier and tic-tac-toe down 2-1 and then 3-1. season over, thanks for coming out guys.

My Devils season ends today. I will be STUNNED if they force a game 6. Tampa is simply the better team. Pretty obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Tampa Bay has become my most hated team in these playoffs now. Kucherov and Hedman need to be hit hard and often by their next opponent. For the Devils.............. it's a JOHN watch now as they are either going hard for Tavares and/or Carlson as they have the cap space to do so. We shall see.

I'm starting to think I overestimated the Bruins. I agree 100% that the Bruins should have closed it out. The Leafs are pretty average on the backend and were there to be had. Now I think the Bruins have made this much more difficult than it should have been. Or at least more than I thought anyway. Leafs have a realistic shot now.

CommonCents Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Bruins are in trouble. Rick Nash suffers from NBS. (No Balls Syndrome) I don’t care how many times he gets an open shot or makes a nice looking move, evidence shows he won’t hit the shot! Bring up Donato. Pasta, Marchand need to stop attempting to be cute. Tukka you still suck. Bruce shuffle the lines please. 40 shots looks nice on the box score but your guys aren’t generating quality chances. Nice win for Toronto and their fans tonight, they deserved it and needed it. Stay strong. Anderson needs one more good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me they seem kinda one note. Marchand and Bergeron and a bunch of grinders. No dman that can jump up and join the rush. At least not effectively. They certainly are not a quick team.

Those three players have stood out all series. Game 7 will be fun but I’m not confident in anything but the game going over for total goals scored.
