Unless it's Sweden
Who in their right mind seriously thought the Flyers would upset the Capitals? That game last night was domination in more ways than the scoreboard. Wilson got Simmonds to chimp out; Flyers had only 8 shots in the second and third periods combined; Ovi took out Couturier for the rest of the series with a typical hit; Caps forwards routinely stripped the puck from Ghost, Giroux, and Voracek; the PKs were effortless; the list goes on. Glad I got to watch that shutout in person.
Again, literally who thought that would happen? The Islels upsetting the Panthers is far more likely.
Where did all the wild fans go?
>>66840852
flyers played at about the same level as the caps over the last 25 games of the season. without couturier they're a swept team though.

The islanders beating the panthers isn't really an upset though. The panthers have so many kids on their team with absolutely no playoff experience. The panthers have a bright future but expecting them to go deep this year is daft. The islanders have the easiest road to a ECF. Beat the panthers and then more than likely beat either Detroit/Tampa Bay. My guess is Detroit wins that series.

Idk I just have a feeling Detroit will make a push and win the series with datsyuk potentially leaving and zetterberg on a steady decline. That series in my opinion is the hardest to predict in the east. The rest are pretty simple for me. I have the islanders beating the kitties in 6.

The NHL has too many teams. Talent is very spread out, so we have "parity" where most teams are shit.
The wongs managed to have absurdly good goaltending when they weren't scoring, and then they did a decent job scoring when their goaltending was bad. I'm not sure how they did so well when Tatar and Nyquist were invisible most of the season, or how they continue to limp along with the worst defense in the league, but then again their competition in the east includes the laffs, buffalo, the hasb, and a team that perennially blows up at the finish line.
can we get a powerplay please ref?

>good prospects on the way
They don't have many and they have traded many away. What you do have is basically potential depth players.
Hartman = at best a bottom 6 forward
McNeil = 4th line center
Dahlstrom = at best a bottom pairing dman
Motte = potentially top 6 forward but manlet
Schmaltz = potential top 6 forward but so far his stats have been pumped by Boeser and Caggiula
Hawks are going to struggle unless they start bringing in prospects to fill holes in their top 6. Bowman has been basically selling off prospects to keep this team contending and it is going to bite him in the ass very soon. One of the core players should be traded this offseason to bring in some young talent. Maybe Seabrook or Hjalmarsson, or if they want to make a really big slash, Kane. I'm not sure if those players can even be moved because of NTC's and NMC's. They might just need to keep looking in FA to fix their shit up.

We don't do goalies.
We do defencemen and forwards.
Finland has shit defencemen and forwards which forces their goalies to be good as they get shot at all the time. That's why there are many good >finnish goaltenders but very few good finnish players in other positions and vice versa for Sweden.

I'm at a loss. Who was it?
>>66845118
fuck I did research and out of all euro goalies only hasek, khabibulin and niemi have won as starters
that's kinda depressing
Was Lundqvist just pretending?
>>66845122
>believing in goalie prospects
Be ready to be disappointed. And he didn't look all that great this year, what makes you think he will be "one of the best in the NHL GUARANTEED"? Either way, a top 2 defender is still way more valuable than a potential starting goalie, cry baby with some upside, and a potential top 4 manlet defender. Panthers won't let go of Ekblad for pennies you delusional fuck.
>>66845187
european goalies came pretty late to the NHL compared to defensemen and forwards.
>>66845187
Which basically means the stars, ducks, preds, rags, isles have ZERO chance at a cup this year.
>>66845210
who dis?
>>66845223
Murray is a legit good goalie prospect
>>66845152
Fuck this makes me angry. They need a TRIGGER warning on shit like this.
>>66845243
Ducks are starting Gibson though
>>66845250
Goalies take a really long time to develop and are super hit and miss, prospects can be very misleading
>>66845232
yeah but still, euro to na starters is like 40% to 60% now?
only niemi has won as a starter in like past 10 years

Ekblad is a shitter as opposed to 2 generational talents and a top pairing
>>66845287
And Rinne could die and Preds could start Hutton
RIP Stars, Rags, and Isles though
>>66845210
That's just terrible goaltending. He was baiting the shooter to go glove side by standing against the right side of the net, then he gets fooled by nothing. I'm betting it's just staged.
>>66845267
that basically means they have zero chance of winning the cup. why would they not play their good goalie rather than the meme one?
>>66845302
Rinne is already ded
>finnish goaltending
>>66845250
Maybe. He has the benefit of playing behind a good team, so he should be able to gain some confidence at least. Has the lanky build you want in a goalie too.
>>66845316
Pekka will be amazing.
>>66845296
>2 generational talents
Using the term a bit loosely. But I'd say Ekblad is by far closer to a generational talent than either Drouin or Vas-whatever, and saying Deangelo is a top pairing dman is laughable at this stage. He hasn't proven anything. The offer, if it ever even existed, is shit, and the Panthers would have been retarded to go for it.
>>66845357
I'm all for memes, but he has not looked great this year

The only retards would be the lightning to give up 2 (objectively) generational talents and one of the things they most desperately need for the team

Just give them the cup now
>>66845481

I really wish the perds were playing the yotes or something so we could have a based meme series in the west like we have the cats and isles in the east
>>66845554
Mild and Stors is pretty meme desu
>>66845469
Holy shit. Would you guys do to it?
Watching games that >my team isn't playing in is so much more enjoyable desu
>>66845565
Nah, it's only meme because the mild are going to get swept. The Isles Cats game last night was the most fun game of the ploffs so far and that series is going to be meme as fuck
> post game interview
> we just gotta play a full sixty minutes put the puck on net dig deep be aggressive just looking forward to the next game their players are really good and we gotta play harder keep the momentum and hope it goes in
>>66845554
shokes and kongs is pretty meme
>>66845492
Holy fuck your delusional. If they desperately need a top defender, then Ekblad would be that in a far better capacity than Deangewho will ever be. Drouin is by no means a generational talent you retard, and neither is Vashit. They are good young players. McDavid is the only generational talent that is new to the league.
Why do you want the blues to win, /hoc/?

>>66845596
*what did
the most meme answer is definitely
>just get the puck and guys to the net and
>>66845648
Actually want them to lose. It would perpetuate the ''Blues can't get past the first round'' meme I'm so fond of.

>gotta play hard
>gotta get out there and play our game
>gotta get to those dirty areas
>gotta be smart in all three zones
>>66845726
If we can get the puck in the net more and keep them from getting the puck in our net then we will win.
>>66845751
>obviously
>obviously
>obviously
>>66845726
What else should they say? Most coaches hate talking to press as it is. They aren't going to go into full detail about there strategies and tactics. All those things are objectively true if a team wants to win. Hockey is a fairly simple sport when it comes down to it; the team that wins is usually the one that works harder, doesn't get caught not playing their game, gets to the front of the net, gets pucks on the net, and keeps the other team off balance.
>>66845774
>obviously y'know we've just got to put pucks to the net for sure
>>66845751
Thanks John.

>uhhh yes, okay...
>>66845816
Except I used the word "usually". Sometimes the team that dominates almost every area of the game, still loses because of lucky bounces and good/bad goaltending.
hey i just started watching hockey. I live in illinois, but I hear the hawks aren't doing so hot
would it be considered bandwagoning to start watching the Blues? I only live 3 hours from STL

>>66845852
No one will give you flak for liking the blues unless they win the cup this year
Hawks are a great team, but the fan base is casual bandwagonners
>>66845888
but which team is better? i don't want to get emotionally invested in a team that loses
>>66845922
You are a filthy bandwagoner and should leave immediately

Pretty much this. It's only good for memeing on /hoc/.

maybe i'll just stick with the hawks to keep my cities consistent.
i used to like the cards, but the cubs are just such an exciting team to watch now. plus STL doesn't even have a football team anymore

If you live in IL, follow the Hawks. It'll be easier to meet other hockey fans that way. They'll still be good for a while. Their GM is genius level I hate to admit.
I live in central IL but migrated here- I'm a Caps fan. I can't turnaround without seeing someone in Hawks gear around here. Never see Blues gear and I'm halfway between the cities.
