Or the AVS...can they toss the puck around or what. The coil have such an average defense and goaltending that if you can crack the McDavid code you can beat themChef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 9:02 am The Oilers are dismantling a stingy defensive tream that the Canucks struggled against this season.

In all fairness, if he had a winger better than Hoglander who would have buried that pass from behind the net we'd all be raving about that brilliant play.

You have constantly left those Benningbuilt turds in your posts. So what you took one day off and that is moving on?Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 7:30 am Not even Chef brings up Benning and Gillis anymore, if I am it’s because I’m getting roped into it by others.

So many draft picks traded away. But I will say this, the book isn’t written, the jury is still out…I do like some of the things he’s done with the “great core” he inherited…let’s just hope he can succeed with the greatness he inherited compared to the failure of Mike Gillis with the great core he inherited. The parallels are uncanny! Gillis wasn’t the right man for the job with his inheritance, let’s hope Alvin is.

He’s truly got no one to play with who can think the game on his level. He’s playing with bottom six wingers and that’s half the problem.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 9:22 amIn all fairness, if he had a winger better than Hoglander who would have buried that pass from behind the net we'd all be raving about that brilliant play.

I closed the book on BenningBuilt…I think I BenningBuilt stamped one post recently. That’s it. The BenningBuilt days are in the past. Chef has moved on. I do wish you’d move on from Elmer Jet Black but that doesn’t seem to be on the cards yet.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 9:24 amYou have constantly left those Benningbuilt turds in your posts.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
With no Demko we ain’t getting past - Edmonton, Colorado, Las Vegas, Dallas and Winnipeg. Even with Demko we’d be hard pressed beating any of those teams in a seven game series, maybe Winnipeg.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 9:13 amOr the AVS...can they toss the puck around or what.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
Jet fans must be wondering what happened to the team.
All that talk about goaltending and Hellebuyvk has let in 17 goals in 3 games. Have not watched a single game but wonder if it is just piss poor luck or has he just lost it. They may want to go with their backup in the next game. Also a hell of a lot of fighting going on in the last game.
Makes you appreciate the Nucks with DeSmith and Silvo.

Hellybuk looks totally rattled. They're shooting from everywhere and he's consistently puking up rebounds2Fingers wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 10:49 am Jet fans must be wondering what happened to the team.

He’s faced a ton of shots. But he looked really bad on 3 of the 6 last night.2Fingers wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 10:49 am Jet fans must be wondering what happened to the team.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
Hellybuk has looked like an ordinary goalie, not a Vezna finalist. That is the big difference for the team right now. The Avs are opportunistic and are scoring in bunches. Its like he lets one goal in and within 3 minutes 2-3 more are in. Almost like he is getting rattled. But the Avs are a powerhouse and play some solid hockey so it isn't a fluke either.
Both teams are hitting but one team is taking a lot of penalties, Jets. Jets are capable of bouncing back but they looked shell shocked. They need to find a way to forget about the first 3 and take back home ice with a solid game next one up.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
Has anyone been watching the Stars - GK series ?
I haven't, but I find the current standing surprising, and I wonder if any of you know what's up.

Re: 2024 Playoffs Discussion / Predictions
Knights choked them defensively in game 2.
The Stars got nothing of substance in the way of offensive chances.
21 shots total, not many grade A's.
The first game the Stars allowed 4 goals on 15 shots.
Enough said.
