Right on.
Thanks!

I get the feeling Bandwagon Brucey is very familiar with riding strap ons.

The Leafs

The Oilers are one of the worst 5 on 5 teams in the NHL and their two good players only care about points

I told you so

Christ sake the "best player" this season was on the ice for more goals against than for. Some of you watch too many youtube highlights and fanboy media then actual hockey games. Many of us saw game one coming from a mile away.

Maybe the Oilers can squeak by a 12 seed that traded players at the deadline but to suggest they might actually beat a team like the Avs or Blues is laughable

Hows that for 5 on 5 buddy. 5 even strength goals. You goons are so quick to poop on teams after one game. Just roasting the guy over one bad game. I bet that shut you up pretty quick kiddo. Hit the sack its bedtime.

really? 3 total fluke goals to beat the 12th seed 6-3

Crawford gave Neal the 5th goal and the Hawks shot on their own net for #6. I wouldn't be getting too excited. Like I said MAYBE they can squeak by the 12th seed

One bad game? Look at the stats the Oilers are terrible 5 on 5 over the season.

You could be right, and you obviously know much more about the team than I do.

But what I noticed, your forwards in the top 2 lines skate with so much abandon towards the net they are often out of position to back check. Just a casual observation.

I was the guy who recognized your avatar as that of a billionaire. But please don't worry about my feelings. You are not the first big shot in a suit who forgot me and you probably won't be the last.

Lol...now I remember, and I'm sure I won't forget. I think that's agood observation too. EDM has been playing like that for years. There was a stretch under Hitchcock where they tightened up defensively and Tippett is now preaching responsible hockey, but everyone thinks offense first.

Draisaitl is one of the worst, he skates at 90% up the ice and about 30% back checking. (I don't think he is ever at 100%...so lazy).

Actually, he was amazing again and stopped what 37/39 shots? He was the best player on the ice so maybe you should stop with that projection thing...

And yes, good riddance this series is over.

Edmonton for sure. Getting de haan back for chicago truly helped solidify their top defensive pairings. Toews and kane have something to prove to the naysayers, keith looked fresh . Those who are complaining about Chicago giving up 4 goals forget that crawford had no training camp this was only his 2nd time on the ice .

Crawford can easily steal a game.


I thought Chicago's puck possession game plan showed edmonton had no plan to stop chicago


Chicago wins this series 3-0

Two things. One Crawford isn’t that good. Two. Great series sweep prediction

Bruce--Flyers fan--What are you smoking?
The Flyers are NOT Stanley Cup material.

Before the season break, the Flyers were playing as well as any team in the league. Capable of competing against any team in the league. He's just being a fan. We're in uncharted territory here with a season start up in August. Nobody knows how teams will respond and gel. The Flyers have a lot of youth in key spots including in goal. We don't know how they will respond. However based on how the Flyers were playing before the stoppage, it's not unreasonable to think they could make a run.
