Agreed. Gudbranson should be sent to a place far far away

I'm honestly kinda mad Tanev wasn't out against Dallas except for one game.

Would've made scoring for us so much easier and that was our greatest weakness.

He’s playing himself into a long term deal in another city. I’ll take it

Flames priority next year besides the 2 extensions

Bring in Tanev insurance

Trust me it works

But hey thanks to the Flames winning your coach left so win-win

I can’t wait for him to take the maple leafs to the cup in 2029!

Lead by the new #1 line of Knies-Mcdavid-Marner

The loser's offseason thread is here.

But it’s not off-season talk

Damn Beter was not taking any prisoners tonight

But my 2nd fav team is still in the playoffs so why would I be there lul

As our southern brothers in blue and white will 3 peat

Nor 2029 either lul

Connor McDavid has, since his rookie season, scored 694 points in 473 combined regular season and playoff games. That’s 120 points per 82 games from age 19-25.During that six-season period, only one other player has scored more than 120 points. Nikita Kucherov did it… once.

Dude is a video game

Got to say based on seeing Tampa spank Florida in the second round

Tampa 3-peating went from a meme to I would say an 85% certainty

And this is not just from my whoever won between Tor vs. Tam would go to the finals

no no no

Tampa has basically done it again. Brisbois went out and did what he did when they got their first cup

Spent 2 1sts and brought in 2 good pieces for the bottom 6 (Paul and Hagel) I know Paul didnt cost a 1st but you get my point and created another terrifying 3rd line

As honestly would not surprise me if Paul-Colton-Hagel impact and metrics compare to or are better than Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman during their 2 playoff runs.

That's a lot of certainty I'm not quite that sure... yet
I think the simpler explanation is that the Lightning are 6-0 (5-0 for now yes, but trying to see something) in the second round under Jon Cooper. We just don't lose in the second round.

I think Hagel is pretty similar to adding a younger Coleman, but Paul on the otherhand has been something else. I think he's been our defacto #1 center in the Florida series. I would have never expected that when I saw that trade pop up on a Sunday night in March.

Through watching the rest of the teams still left the one team who could maybe give them trouble is Colorado

As honestly everything in Tampa rn is just clicking and they once again got a solid third line that does everything

And that to me sealed the deal. As the big ? for Tampa going into the 3 peat conversation was would they adapt to losing that third line that got them 2 cups. Well not only did they adapt, they got a new 3rd line some could argue is better than the original

I honestly don't know if we have set lines anymore. I swear I saw everyone but Maroon and Bellemare play with Stamkos and Kucherov at even strength today.

Colorado is definitely a juggernaut until proven otherwise, but maybe its competition, or lack thereof? I mean Nashville was expected to be a sweep and the Blues have a messed-up goalie situation and some big injuries on defense. Would love to see an Edmonton v. Colorado WCF though.

Tkachuk makes a fair point to be honest, when he’s at the top of his game, Cody Ceci is nearly unstoppable

Fixed it for you. Though Tkachuk has a great point, if Calgary’s depth can overpower Edmonton’s okay goaltending, forward depth and defence, they easily win

McDavid, Drai, and Kane have combined for 55 points in 10 games

wow STL fans are resorting to Bruins fans levels

Boston 2012 moment for sure

And now, thanks to this comment, I have more likes than posts. I’m inducting myself into the capfriendly hall of fame

Predictions for today:
FLA 1-3 TBL
COL 2-4 STL

Alphonso Davies really needed a hat to throw after Evander Kane scored a hat trick for the Edmonton Oilers 🤣 @BR_OpenIce(via @Sportsnet)pic.twitter.com/9s39KiK918
