Series Thread: Eastern Conference Final - Carolina Hurricanes vs. Florida Panthers

[tsawchuk]

Pulling a goalie this early is just plain dumbassery.

So they blew the play dead and there's no penalty?

whistle, but no penalty? that's ridiculous

The dreaded check for blood on a missed call.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the fact that refs can look at video review to determine if a puck went out of play, but refs don't look at video review to determine if there was a high stick on a player is prime NHL.

Why do my Cup predictions always go down like a shot bird?

No Kachook, Bob is gonna do the Smythe shuffle.

I love watching Bobrovsky.

The downside of this all, of course is the Kool-Aid drinkers falling all over themselves saying we should have never let him go and Jarmo's an idiot for not paying a guy who is obviously the greatest goalie who ever lived. Completely disregarding we weren't sure if we could pay Johnny Gaudreau when the possibility arose as it was and our salary cap hit was 10m less than it would have been with Bob. These are the same people that bitch incessantly about losing Bjorkstrand to make room. Had we kept Bob, either we were never in on Johnny or the guy we had to throw away to make him fit would have been Laine. Or Werenski.

And that's to say nothing of how effective Bob would be behind a defense that had Gubberson on the top pair and Bayreuther getting 25 minutes a night. Bob pretty much lost his starting job to a kid all season and is playing out of his mind right now. But the team he is playing behind is infinitely deeper and stronger than the one we put on the ice regularly. And they barely squeaked into the playoffs.

I love Bob with all my heart, and at this point I want him to raise the cup. But I thank Buddha every day we aren't paying that contract.

A fair and balanced take.

There's some openings at Fox News, maybe 43 should apply?

It's easy to forget that the Panthers did win the President's Trophy in the 2021-22 season. After a quick playoffs exit, they made a huge trade with the Flames bringing Tkachuk on board. It obviously took some time to get used to no longer having Huby and Weegar, but the Pans did squeak into the post-season dance. I thought the Bruins would eliminate Florida, but the Pans prevailed and have looked great since round 2.
