Thee Official 2023-24 Playoffs Thread: Stop fucking crying bro, it’s not junior

these are some famous last words but I feel like Pastrnak has not been a huge factor in this series especially 5 on 5

Athletic article:

‘Pasta needs to step up’: Bruins' Pastrnak is doing nothing, and a choke is pending because of it

I feel like he had some flashes early in the series but nothing lately. Marchand's been preoccupied with his prank war with Bertuzzi. Past them, the Broons forwards don't generate chance on their own.

I do think Woll has been much better than Samsonov and wonder if there was a logical point earlier in the series when Keefe should've made the switch.

what is up fella, nice to see you. I don't know if you heard the news but my dad has officially switched fandoms from the cowardly and Russian-infected Maple Leafs to the heroic and mostly-Canadian and other anti-Putin country Oilers. so naturally I cheer against the Oilers now. but if it's an old school CL crowd here now cheering for them I am going to find it difficult to not take part. Me, I love the chickenshit tiktok ADHD baby Leafs. they even got a Russian I like now (Lyubooshkin).

this all checks out and is great to hear but more importantly I gotta know who uncle pat is cheering for these days

I assume he's just watching tape of old ticats playoff games until the CFL preseason starts

[practice]

this was such a good play by knies

I do think Woll has been much better than Samsonov and wonder if there was a logical point earlier in the series when Keefe should've made the switch.

I think the reason he was hesitant was because Woll had been fairly brutal in the second half of the season, allowed 4+ goals in half his starts since coming back from injury, including the two games against Boston.

Beginning to wonder if these teams even want to score

Mikheyev just had a great look and shot it straight into the crest

[Grand Moff Larkin]

RELEASE THE PIUS TAPE

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Catfish timeout

[nick]

lol Lindholm

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Lindholm with a real dumb crosscheck on Nyquist

That’s a penalty alright

[nick]

Who is this goalie???

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Don’t know how Nyquist didn’t score there

I think Josi had a great look immediately after it and shot it over the net

[Cacophony]

Who is this goalie???

Arturs Silov another future member of my bad fantasy team.

At least I should have ok goalies for a bit if they get to play.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I'm glad Vegas tied up the series with Dallas, although it would be cool to see some goals in one of these games.

I just looked at Vegas's Capfriendly page and while it's not as bad as I expected given the Hanifin extension, I'm not sure if they have enough space (currently a shade under six million once Lehner's five is punted to LTIR) to re-sign either Marchessault (their leading scorer this year with 69 points) or Stevenson (51 points), and that's with Alec Martinez on the way out.

[captain]

Oilers Canucks might be the end of me

Oilers Canucks might be the end of me

"I just wish both teams could win!"

in the good old days I feel like a Van/Edmo series could have led to Captain and Patrick Cokane brawling shirtless on Main St and me partying shirtless in the West Edmonton Mall parking lot

What the hell, why would they not start Woll?

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Apparently he might be hurt?

Matthews is playing though
