2020 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

4 elimination games today... makes things very interesting and entertaining.

Yep... he was looking good. I wonder if he rushed back to soon after surgery.

Jake Allen paid his dues, now he's in the drivers seat and the Nucks have to solve him. Big, pivotal game late night... hope I can stay awake, thats a really good, hard hitting series.

 

Shoulders are tough to come back from at 100%. I doubt Tarasenko ever hits 40 again.

Have to assume that the Avs end the Coyotes today.
I like the Bruins chances today as long as Halak can keep it together.
Columbus will be a tough out.
Philly/Mtl series should not be confused with good defensive hockey because its not, it's ugly standing-stil hockey. Not enough puck movement and too many outside shots hoping to squeeze in. This is Montreal's only hope but Id think that Philly would be able to move the puck east/west a bit on the breakout and open some lanes up. I guess you'll take the 1-0 or 2-0 sloppy win if they'll give it to you.
Islanders/Philly will be a good matchup.

 

I have a hard time staying up for the west coast games Will. I was planning on watching the Vegas/Chi game last night and fell asleep on the coach before they dropped the puck. Canucks/Blues game 5 is probably the most must-watch game of these playoffs so far.
Flames/Stars seems bananaland. Hard to get a feel on that. And whats up with Bishop?

 

lol, "unfit to play" "LBI", or in other words; "he sucks". Just kidding... I have no idea what happened or is happening, if anything to Bishop. Khudobin is the man and a no-name for back-up. These 'secret' injuries is a strange thing to me. Im not sure i understand the reasoning behind the NHL's gag order on injuries.

 

I think the gag order is to protect a patient's confidentiality..........for Covid 19.
How that relates to a separated shoulder or pulled quad is beyond me but I'm sure that the coaches are happy to keep all info as in-house as possible.

 

Tuukka reportedly left the bubble for a medical emergency for his daughter. Thoughts and prayers with his family and his daughter.
Without sounding too callous, or trying not to sound too callous, could he come back if everything is ok on the home front? I feel scummy typing that.

Sucks when injuries take over.

Sad but True Matty.......but it is part of the Game.

Go Canucks Go......Huge game tonight.

 

Without sounding too callous, or trying not to sound too callous, could he come back if everything is ok on the home front?

Great question Matty........he would have to meet with Bruins Management and NHL Brass before he can get back in.

 

Bolts put up 2 quick ones and I was thinking the BJ's are toast and they probably are, but the Jackets get one back and its still a game. 2-1, 1st.

 

3-2, BJ's... its on.

 

Congrats, Matty...

 

Watch out for Vancouver!

 

I missed hockey. This s*** is wonderful.

 

Bruins looking like the team that was the favorite for last year's Stanley Cup. I've been betting on Colorado in the West for most of the season. Playoffs so far haven't told me anything different. I think it'll be BOS - COL in the Finals. It's gonna be fun watching all the way, regardless.

 

Watch out for Vancouver!

You wearing your hat Dan from our game.........lol

Markstrom stood on his head and it was great to see Virtanen get some points.

 

I've been betting on Colorado in the West for most of the season.


That is a good bet dline.......I took Avs vs Lighting in Cup Final.

 

Yeah, the East is probably going to be a battle between TB and BOS. I don't think NYI has the talent, but they definitely have the system and playing style. We saw TB lose to a similar team last year... Going to be fun! I just need work to chill the hell out so I can watch the games during the day.
