2018-2019 Playoffs - Round 1

[Chef Boi RD]

This Pens/Islanders series has really been a coming out party for Jordan Eberle. Just scored his third goal (5th point).

Free agent this summer.

The Hall trade I understand, a bad influence in a small town, bad in the room, a Nucklehead. Larsen is a dinosaur but the Eberle trade and Schultz trade were a bit hasty but the real killer was the Reinhart trade. So many good prospects available with the first pick (Barzal) they gave up

I don’t like Kadri whatsoever but I might want to crosscheck a guy in the grill myself had he gone after my knee earlier in the game. That was a dirty hit by Jake Debrusk. Give Debrusk 2 games and Kadri 4 or 5.

I saw it as an enormous dive.

No surprise Kadri looked at the ref right away, and no surprise he didn't miss a shift.

Then there was Tavares flopping about, and tuna wonders why they don't get calls!

That's how I saw it too. On top of the gigantic flop and roll, instead of bracing for and taking the collision like a man, Kadri tried to avoid it.

DeBrusk didn't extend the knee, he was leading with the shoulder.

[Chef Boi RD]

The Isles are dialed in. Tavares may want to watch this after last nights phone in.

[The Brown Wizard]

Jordan Eberle playing his absolute best hockey in the NHL right now. He looks all world out there. I retract my sam gagner comparison

Contract year

[The Brown Wizard]

Ya really lol.

Another guy who looks unreal is Shultz. His and Letangs' play gives me hope for how young Quinn Hughes shoyld project. I see his future somewhere around those 2 players. Not great shooters but fantastic distributors

[Doyle Hargraves]

Extends olive branch to the Dude

WTF is going on with Pitt? Crosby and Malkin have been skunked. They aren’t even getting many good looks at Lehner the last two games. Trotz’s Islanders are smothering them and frustrating the hell out of them.

If the Jets flake out here I’d have to think they are going to make some big changes. I picked the Blues but I’d like to see the Jets prevail here.

I agree with ESQ and Nucklehead, in fact everyone in the entire hockey world seems to agree.

Nobody is talking about suspending Debrusk, seriously wtf Blob?

Also, Kadri has been fined for embellishment twice in the past, just saying.

Having now watched it five or six times it’s a minor penalty on Debrusk. Kadri made that look a lot worse than it was. Five games for Kadri maybe six.

And the stinky fish is telling everyone that gritty, playoff hockey is a myth

Tampa hasn't been competitive against Tort's in your face, heavy style. Trots defensive system is making Crosby completely invisible... one of the greatest hockey players in the history of the game. Invisible.

Willy and the Leaves are wilting against the Big Bad Bruins (again). Kadri was flopping around and looking to the refs for calls. Babcock is hiding Marner and Matthews is completely MIA.

Id say Marner isnt MIA like AM. Hes creating space and driving the play still. Tavares is still dangerous but they really need some relief from down the roster. The ramped up intensity has left them way behind the shit bears

I meant Babcock is trying to protect his smurf Marner from getting crushed. He can't continue to hide him against matchups because he needs him to drive the offense because AM is nowhere to be found. Marner and Hyman have been good.

Lightning on pace for 9 shots this game wtf

Everything will be fine, Coach Cooper just said they've just ran into a little bad luck is all.
