Pens miss the playoffs for the second year in a row, I didn't want or expect them to make it the way they played this year. It hurts, but I'd rather they not make it than embarrass themselves in the first round
Senior Moderator
Sorry, sir. Personally thought they'd make a long playoff run.

...and on that, with Sid's talent, leadership, and etc., he would've rallied and willed the team into the dance. Sometimes, this sport is weird.

It is what it is, the way they played all year, they didn't deserve to make the dance
I held out hope to the end, Sid had a ridiculous amount of points during this stretch, honestly the rest of the team is what failed him

I'm torn, the game does not deserve the mess that has always been the dogs, OTOH, having a team where I live was nice until they moved to the micro arena, I'm not paying MSG prices to go to a miniature arena.
Sorry man, it sucks. Imagine how I felt last year, being dumped by the Devils in the 1st last year. They need to show up this year.

Looks like I will get the 1st round matchup in the West I want: Vegas vs. Oilers.

Would be a bummer for sure to lose a local team just so you can go watch your team at least once a year locally. It is interesting that he retained the rights to the name for 5 years so if he can get an arena deal eventually that he could get an expansion team again. Would the NHL really even do that?

It's official, the dogs are no more. Hopefully their new owner treats the new team well. (low bar)

Somehow Vegas shat the bed and decided to lay over. They draw Dallas and Oilers get the path they wanted...1st round with Kings.
For the first time in awhile, some of the playoff matchups are super-hard to pick.
Senior Moderator
Really hard to pick the Final 4...
Canes or Rangers?
Panthers or Bolts?
Stars or Knights?
Oilers...my fave comedy found a way to salvage their season and go on a nice run despite the horrid start and turfing yet another HC. But, their D...I just don't see how it is a formula to get into the dance. Who is their Hedman/Makar/Morrissey/Fox? Bouchard is horrid defending and Ekholm is great but he's no #1 anchor.
Can McJesus line up as a D-man?

Rangers will make short work of the Caps who really have no business to be in the dance.

For example, Pens and Sabres...both have a PLUS goals-for/goals-against are NOT in the dance.

Rangers fans did try and warn us that Georgiev was not the answer to a starting goalie and was a fraud. Has been on full display the last several weeks of the regular season and last night.
How often do you score 6 goals on Hellebuyck and not win the game. Your goalie can't be letting you down when you score 6 goals on 46 shots by letting in 7 goals on 23 shots. A .696 save percentage is unacceptable by any goalie. He has allowed 6 goals or more in 3 of the last 4 games. He is mentally broken and should be punted to the moon at this point.

Georgiev's performance tonight was the 21st time since 1993 where a goalie has surrendered 7+ goals in a playoff game.
His 16 saves are the lowest from all of those instances.

Since we apparently still can't post from twitter he is a stat that really puts into perspective just how bad last night was.

Epic collapse by the Isle's last night.
Overall playoff scoring is way up this year too. Crazy so far in the early going.

How anyone on Washington can claim Panarin, the smallest guy in the arena manhandled Oshie, who was questionably abusing him all series is the definition of hypocrisy.

Craps don't deserve to be in the playoffs and definitely are the easiest draw for the Rangers, I don't think they'll have any trouble vanquishing them

I hope so, this is the Rangers, they have gone up 2-0 most rounds & lost. I'm in heartburn mode for the foreseeable future.

Glad Georgiev decided to show up to the game this time.
Bennett being out for the Panthers is a huge loss. Good thing they are up 2-0.
