2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread: Carolina's tries revolutionary new strategy: Never lose games

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Vegas-Utah series has been great.

I don't hate on Vegas as much as most, but the Hart and Torts combo makes it even easier to root against them.

RIP John Garrett

Did he not just call a Vegas-Utah game last week??

Same feeling and I will always be ride or die for Marner

He’s 39 years old and I’m a million years old

Tough luck for the PNES (being picked by me to win that series). In the minute before the gwg the Kindle line had the Martone line trapped in their zone for the 2nd time in 2 shifts. Not really offensive pressure but the puck was trapped down low with good support from the PNES forwards, then Soderblom got control and tried a Berube chefs kiss pass along the wall to the point which got picked off, leading to the rush where Martone missed an empty net, then an icing, then a clean win by Cates vs tired Kindel. So it's Soder's fault if you ask me

I liked that dude and am generally glad that he's found more production on a different team, but "maintain possession in the offensive zone, ultimately try something that doesn't work" is extremely familiar to his time on the Wings.

Eat shit, Jamie Benn

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Really hope the Wild can give the Avs a run for their money

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I feel for McDavid but man thee Goil was a mess this year

[Cacophony]

Eat shit, Jamie Benn

Go to hell Dallas

[Cacophony]

Well I refuse to get espn so hope the games are fun

Josh Doan is so good, shame his dad ran a scam consultancy to steal Auston Matthews signing bonus while on MLSE payroll

Unbelievable assist on the insurance goal last night, and took a headshot on the play from McAvoy who is forever a piece of shit

[practice]

Pastrnak was great too, what a player he is

[Grand Moff Larkin]

McAvoy had a busy night

To be fair the slew-foot from Benson was shitty and exactly the sort of play I'd lose my shit over

[nick]

Habs won with 9 shots on net tonight

[nick]

Apparently a record for fewest shots in a playoff win

[Grand Moff Larkin]

God I hate that their fans get to experience joy

[nick]

Fans aside, the team itself is pretty much as likeable as it gets
