Stanley Cup Playoffs discussion thread — 2023 edition

[C-Man 27388]

Kraken up 1-0

Florida has bitching sweaters too, BTW. Love their look.

[Surly Bevo 25539]

Crazy bounce, pretty much an own goal.  

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

More Squid! 

[C-Man 27388]

2-spit now

[cactusflinthead 27615]

Just like that 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

Shit, couldn’t kill the last 30 seconds. 

[Beau Vine 54942]

McKinnon at 16:40 TOI

[Pato del Muerto 52902]

Hopefully 4 periods remain

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

That fucking guy. 

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Avs top line is ridiculous 

Offsides

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

Fuck yeah. 

[C-Man 27388]

Avs top line is ridiculous 
Offsides

It’s insanely good.

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Easiest call of the season

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Makar is such an amazing player

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Kraken ain’t cracking

[jetsfan76 741]

You know what else ain't crackin'? The 1989 Belgian anthem, "Pump Up the Jam!"

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

Tick, tick, tick...

Fuck, smoked the pipe. 

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Wow, how did that stay out. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

Bring on the Squids! 

[Surly Bevo 25539]

[jetsfan76 741]

Go Squid!!

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

[Beau Vine 54942]

Holy shit.  

I honestly didn't expect Hakstol to last a full year, but he has done an amazing job.

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

This playoffs is wiiiiiiiiiide open at this point. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

8:30 Central, Tuesday night, @flatdawgs. 

[flatdawgs 1316]

Holy Squid shit! Cannot believe this. Thought we might get one in the series. We don't match up well at all with the Stars, who are as good as anyone in the West - but I'm going to game 3 in the second round! Unbelievable. Go Squid! 🦑

It's all gravy. Looking forward to it. I like a lot of the Stars boys, just not this next week.

[C-Man 27388]

The first round isn't quite over yet and still the defending champs are out, the three-time defending East champs (and two-time Cup winners) are out and the all-time greatest regular season team is out. Wide open doesn't even begin to describe the way things are.

That was literally the nuttiest day in sports playoffs history.

Rangers at Devils underway on ESPN. 

[Lurch 5941]

This crowd is awesome

[Longhorn_Fan68 33954]

Fun game so far, but NJ needs to stop taking penalties. They're not going to survive giving up 3+ penalties a period

Edited May 2, 2023 by Longhorn_Fan68

[Firemans4Horn 18314]

Kane looks like shit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

That was a badass fucking effort on NJ's first goal. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

May be all she wrote for NYR. 

[Scary Stranger 1715]

Man, that looked like it was to the head. I guess he was kind of hunching down a bit.

[dcar00 14618]

Rangers pressing.  would like to see a Ranger goal so we can get a sweat.

[shadow_operative2.0 16065]

Drive home safely. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4808]

Good night, New York

[dcar00 14618]

see ya on the first tee Rangers....

That was pretty anticlimactic after last night’s fun with the Bruins v Florida game

So glad the Stars didn’t back up the truck to get Kane at the deadline.

I busted out laughing at this. Looked like the devil mask from Righteous Gemstones.

This has got to be one of the craziest first rounds in a long time. 

Maple Leafs actually win a series and advance to the second round for the first time in 19 years

Kraken come in and knock off the defending champion Avalanche in their first playoff appearance ever

Florida Panthers bounce back and knock off the best Boston Bruins team in history in game 7

Devils win a playoff round for the first time in 11 years

 

Bring on the craziness of round 2! Also, @flatdawgs we'll see y'all tonight in Dallas. Good luck. 

[flatdawgs 1316]

Looking forward to it, @Longboard Horn. I just hope it's a good series. I'm a big Pavs fan and hope he's back soon, even though he had our number this season.

For those wondering, game 3 in Seattle will almost certainly be Sunday as there's a concert at CPA Saturday. There's also a scheduled event next Tuesday but that one may be movable so I'd still think game 4 will be a week from tonight.
