Sutters comments on last night's affair (paraphrased):
"We were told last series was to boring so I informed the players we'd have to score between 7 and 10 goals to win..."

...like him or hate him dudes a great quote and his blase, indifferent, monotone approach to the media bullhonks plays strong.

Dagger. The Panthers seem to be less than the sum of their parts.
They give you the impression they're never going to score no matter how much pressure they put on Vasilevsky.

Vasilevskiy is a sick, wicked good goalie eh...never seen him much before these playoffs.

Vazzy is a machine in the playoffs.
(he started off slow though against the Leaves this year)

....listening to Spittin' Chiclets today BizNasty said that Cooper told Tocchet (Bissonnette works with Rick and Gretzky on the TNT broadcasts) that Kucherov was sick as a dog and puking throughout the Leave series.Strangelove wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:16 pmVazzy is a machine in the playoffs.

So that's not a long way away from a flu bug working through the Tampa room which could speak to Vasilevskiys early struggles.
Which (gloriously) makes the Leave loss that much more enjoyable in that they could not even snuff out a flu ridden team.

Blues aren’t going away quietly
Best top 9 forward group in the league
Chief is an actual good coach in addition to being one of the baddest ass Motherfuckers to ever play.
Never ever drafted. Ex New West Bruin beat the hell out of the league for 15 years. Insane… he handled everyone.

Ya he was a good chucker. Pimp daddy Brashear fed him a pretty good bag of knuckles when he was a hab but I don't recall him losing to anyone elseBlob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 10:20 pm Blues aren’t going away quietly

Yeah, Vasilevskiy didn't drop into his true form until the Leaves were up 3-2, and then in game 7 he took it to another level.Strangelove wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:16 pmVazzy is a machine in the playoffs.

The guy's record and stats in elimination games is just otherworldly.
The Panthers are a good team, but you can see in this series (and in round 1) just how valuable playoff experience is. Tampa had to take their lumps and grow as a group, as well as build organizational depth down in the AHL.
2015 - Lost in Finals
2016 - 2nd round exit
2017 - Missed the playoffs
2018 - Conference Finals
2019 - Swept in Round 1
Now you watch them in any situation and there is no panic, no scramble. They might be hemmed in, maybe look like they are chasing a little, but you can almost always see the underlying structure and the way they communicate and cover and take away lanes in order to give the opponent a couple of options that don't actually do much to move the needle in terms of generating quality chances against despite the possession time, and when chances do happen and the front net chaos ensues Vasilevskiy is a brick wall with few cracks.
Yzerman built something special there, I wonder what the Red Wings will look like in 5 years.

..Brindamour seems like a coach you would run through a wall for.
He also looks like he could still play....

Is Evan Bouchard a wannabee footballer?
That was a shove to the shoulder by Coleman. Bouchard clutches his face and goes down like he was shot.
Fucking embarrassing.
