I was hoping for so much more from Toronto - Montreal. The Habs just are not good enough. 4 goals in 4 games against the Leafs is pathetic. Carey Price is only mediocre now; he can't steal a series anymore.

 

Likewise, I had that series pegged beforehand as one to watch. As you said, it's turned out to be one to avoid at all costs instead.

 

Almost every other series has had some glaring flaw, too.

 

Colorado vs. St. Louis: The Avs absolutely dummied the Blues. It was like watching the bully steal some poor nerdy ginger kid's lunch money.

Boston vs. Washington: Lots of shots, but the product was very sloppy. Did not enjoy.

Edmonton vs. Winnipeg: Had no redeeming qualities. And it was a sweep.

Pittsburgh vs. New York: Jekyll and Hyde series. 3 of 5 games have been bad.

Carolina vs. Nashville: The 'Canes have destroyed the Preds in every way, but Saros has singlehandedly kept Nashville in it. Their offense will go entire periods at times without a dangerous scoring chance.

Vegas vs. Minnesota: Vegas has dominated this series. Like Nashville, Minnesota is only alive because of goaltending.

 

Virtually half the series have been lopsided as hell and the other ones have just been bad. Florida and Tampa are the exception, but even they haven't been immune to bad hockey at times.

 

At least having the fans (mostly) back has helped inject some sorely needed life into it all, I guess.

I watched Tampa Florida the other day and I was disappointed in Tampa. I thought they would be better. But then you realize they have retreads like Pat Maroon and Luke Schenn slugging it out every third shift and kind of realize why. Florida was running them into the ground and it was only a matter time before they took the lead in the 2nd period.

 

Winnipeg Edmonton was a complete cheese series. Edmonton probably should have won all 4 games if you look at xG.

 

Vegas Colorado will be fun at least, assuming Vegas moves on. I really like watching the Avs. Such a good team. I would be slightly annoyed if Vegas kicks them out in the 2nd round because of this stupid playoff format.

Vegas Minnesota is an absolute slog. Neither team has come close to scoring. Nothing entertaining about this game

Such a defensive game, no room out there at all. Both teams playing safe

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but with the Pens and Panthers losing yesterday it is impossible for the Leafs to draw the Colorado Avalanche until the SCF should both teams make it that far. One of Boston/New York has to advance to the final 4 and thus they will be the low seed against Colorado/Vegas.

I made the mistake of telling it to my colleagues at work too. They all let me have it this morning.

Much like the Leafs, I am already thinking about next year and the draft. I’m looking to move any of my young D, prospect D as well, to acquire a 1st round pick. Some D (like Sergachev) would cost more than that.

we have three first round picks. What team are you? We could use THE D most likely.

Is anyone planning on leaving the league? Once we have that figured out I can run a draft lottery.

Need TCA to send out an e-mail, no one mentioned wanting out.

I still need to win a championship in this league, so lets not fold it yet!

 

We ain’t going nowhere!

As long as you are okay with my longterm inactivity I'll be staying. I say we make J4L break away. He's a hockey expert.

You should probably all want my negligent ass out of the league anyway. I have a core of Draisaitl-Stamkos-Scheifele-Ovechkin and didn't even make the playoffs because I put absolutely no effort into this league and probably didn't even set my lineups like 30% of the season. And I know less about hockey than ever!

You made the semi-finals and got curb-stomped.

I'll get it rocking after our baseball finals. We'll be moving to 2 more 'Spects and it'll be a full dynasty, rules have to be altered and s***, we can do it after the draft as it doesn't coincide with any rule changes.
