Road to Lord Stanley's Cup - Official 2018 NHL Playoffs thread

[Brosef]

No it doesn’t make sense. Again,it would be an incredible accomplishment.

Teams are out here not having won the cup for 50+ years.

Saying it exposes the league is just nonsense.

Would be a bad look if Vegas won

Expansion rules were changed so there are less protected players

Vegas got Fleury, the 92 Sens got Peter Sidorkiewicz with an .882 SV% who won a whole 8 out of 64 games

Vegas closed it out incredibly strong. I did not see that coming. Winnipeg was dominating the third period until about three minutes were remaining.

Winnipeg started a fight after the game because of that last second empty netter.

Jets were coming on late. Fleury isn't going to have too many games like that and Winnepig won't make mistakes like they did in this game. Jets are the better and deeper team, they'll win this series in 7.

He’s had those games this entire playoff run

No disrespect to Vegas but an expansion franchise maybe making the Finals


What have the original six been doing all these years

Set a franchise back 7 years because of ticket price fatigue brehs. Boston traded Hamilton for one of their 3 1st round picks in 2015. They selected Debrusk with one of them. That trade is still killing the Leafs.

Burke was eventually let go by the Maple Leafs in January of 2013, weeks before the lockout-shortened season began. The Maple Leafs hadn’t made the playoffs in Burke’s five years with the team, but did the first season after he was fired.

“I have no bitterness about getting let go here,” Burke said. “But that team that year was the fastest team in the NHL and the toughest team in the NHL and that team made the playoffs."

They got dominated every night and then took the most humiliating loss of all time in game 7 I think I remember him gloating about the team before game 7 too
