The ineffectiveness of Quinn Hughes in the playoffs was pretty depressing for me. He will need to come back stronger and faster to overcome the pressure he receives in a highly competitive best of seven series.

I think he's the kind of motivated individual that will work his ass off to improve but his size is still working against him to be a dominant playoff dman unfortunately

Brian Burke on draft day:

That's a tiny body

:lol:

Agreed.

Hughes will need to sort this out.

After the way Nashville attacked him physically and his subsequent mid performance versus the Oil SOP on him will be to beat him up until he proves it ineffective with amended or upgraded play versus said strategy.

All the more reason to re-up Zads.

Kyrie is old.

He is one of the best finishers the game has ever seen.

The Cetics hate for him is legendary. As is the Celtic curse on him.

Denver was up by 48 pts at one point last night. The starters sat down with 1:30 left in the 3rd qtr.

My kid has gotten me into watching Bball, he's a Spurs fan, more so a Victor Wembanyama fan.

Teams isolated Hronek from Quinn removing their interdependence. What we saw is very good Quinn, not Norris Quinn that Hronek's presence creates.

Fuck Edmonton gets the benefit of every call.

If that was Ekblad on McDavid he gets 5 and a game every time.

I've been a Spurs fan for years...Tim Dincan, Tony Parker, David Robinson, Manu Ginobli et al.

Gregg Popovich is an elite level coach, regardless of sport.

VW has a chance to change the game with that size and skillset.

The league is an unfortunate caricature of itself.

On a lighter note Nurse has been on the ice for 18 GA this post season 33% higher than the next D man.

Unfucking real.

Huge scrum in front of the FLA net all parties involved.

The refs take 2 Panthers and give EDM a 5-on-3 in a game that they are already winning 5-1.

If I was Maurice I would just send the bottom-6 out for most of period 3 and run Edmonton into the boards. Game is over. League is being the league.

Who cares if the final is 12-1. Just make it unsafe for McDavid to step on the ice.

I've loosely followed over the years, but did watch some of that team. Fun watching him going through team stats and realize just how good those guys were.
