Crimsonmistymemory Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) I'm making a correction. In these playoffs, so far, Montreal has won seven, and not eight in a row, right now. In the second round, they were able to get past Winnipeg into the third round, which is the semi-finals. They'll be playing against the winner of Colorado, and Vegas. In a perfect world, Montreal shouldn't, and won't be able to get past either Colorado, or Vegas for making it through to the Stanley Cup Finals. Montreal might very well get swept four straight. I hope that will be the case.Oh, Yeah, I guess I thought they were down 0-3 then won out consecutively. But looking back the were down 1-3 before going on their current streak.

Nova Carmina Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 On another hockey note. It's amazing to me how the Habs were down 0-3 in the 1st round and now after winning 8 :huh: in a row are also moving on to round 3...They may end up getting swept themselves, they are going to be run over by either the Avs or Vegas. There's always the old "will the winner of the previous series have expended too much energy" question; if the Knights and the Avs keep going at each other hammer and tongs for seven games while the Habs rest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken hawk Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I had to look him up...he has two shutouts He's from Alaska. . And just like that, the guy who Tweeted that report about Rask not playing just Tweeted this: In regards to my earlier report on Rask: I was hearing high levels of concern from #NHLBruins medical team, felt confident enough to make the call. Rask was extremely adamant on playing and it looks like they gave in to his demands. Will Rask be playing tonight? If he's in top form he should play !!

I like the way you think. :cheers: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston sports radio knew it was over the minute Cassidy said Rask would start. We knew McAvoy would be targeted because he's the only defenseman left worth a damn. But hey. We drafted DeBrusk instead of Barzal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I didn't see the Isles-Bruins game, but saw the Bruins coach was whinging about the refs -- anything to it? I really didn't see it, to be honest. Full disclosure, I HATE people complaining about the refs or umps unless it's really egregious, like someone gets a concussion from being boarded and no penalty was called, or a goal is scored by someone who was in the offensive zone for a minute before the puck entered. Something like that. Of couse, (for LABT's benefit), nothing is worse than whining about the PSI of a football. :)It's not disappointing that people known to completely lack integrity would cheat to get an unfair advantage, it's more that the American Enterprise Institute would sell their credibility for little enough that it didn't even eat too much into Mr. Kraft's hand job fund.

Tampa is deeper and more talented than the Pens or Bruins, and they're healthier than they were in last season's playoffs when they won it all. So, honestly, I'm not expecting the Isles to win, not unless they come up with some magic game plan to neutralize all of Tampa's firepower. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, honestly, I'm not expecting the Isles to win, not unless they come up with some magic game plan to neutralize all of Tampa's firepower.Yes the stage is set! It should be a great series rematch. Tampa has the ability to be an absolute juggernaut but also still have a tendency to sit back or layoff the gas too much sometimes even play stupid!!! We do have "star" power but I think we're lacking a "Puck Hog"! One who's mentality when they get the puck on their stick is "Meet Me At Their Net!!"The Isles are more "Blue Collar" for lack of a better term, have a master mind for a coach and are playing in absolute "Buzz Saw" mode!!! Mix in a little vengeance factor I see them as an very formidable opponent. The Lightning better be prepared for a huge battle! I have not read up on anything yet this morning but I assume Tampa will have home ice advantage? Also I'm not sure when round 3 will start I am assuming this weekend?Only time will tell!! Here's to round 3! :cheers:May the best team win! GO BOLTS!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡ :hockey: Edited June 10, 2021 by Crimsonmistymemory 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Congrats to the Islanders. They outplayed the Bruins in pretty much every facet of the game. Going forward the Bruins have to get offense from someone other than the first line or Krejci. I love DeBrusk, but this postseason he was horrible. As were Coyle, Hall and pretty much the rest of the forwards. Maybe that's more about the teams they played. Defensively, McAvoy has to get more reliable. He's capable of amazing play, but he also makes a lot of horrific, and often catastrophic, mistakes. I hate Rask. He's obviously talented, but he is never going to bail the team out the way truly elite goalies do. I think he's done here in Boston, and I wouldn't be surprised if he retires altogether. But quite a few of the goals this series really weren't his fault. The team put him in a lot of difficult spots. Unfortunately, as I said, he is not the type of goalie who can withstand that over the long haul. Other than the Canadiens or Tampa, I'd be fine with any other team winning it all. So I guess I'm hoping for an Islanders vs. Avs/Knights final. I can't believe I'm saying that about a NY team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd be praying for that if it were the New York Rangers. The Isles may reside just outside of NY City and be a New York team, but as far as NBC and the press are concerned they may as well play in North Dakota. I'm sure NBC is pissed that Boston is out. Aside from the original six Habs there's nothing but smaller market teams left, and Montreal might even be considered small market at this point, especially compared to the Leafs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
