Really hope they will play AVS.....to see une confrontation McDAVID----MacKINNON.

Its insane, the cats couldn't buy a goal! Not even a powerplay one! I can't see who's gonna take the cup from the Bolts this year.

Very likely that the Bolts will win the cup this year. They are crazy loaded of good guys.
Has one of the best goalie ( if not the best in the current time... ) and, one of the best offense of the league.
If they don’t make too much mistake/bad play and/or have no injury, they should be more than capable to win

 

[EagerBeaver]

Tampa Bay is definitely the team to beat.

 

[gaby]

WEST FINAL....yes....OILERS---AVS start Tuesday....will stay loyal to COL...BUT their top guns will have to do better .......can't wait.

BIG BIG one tonight in N.Y........come on BLUESHIRTS....another incredible performance by SHESTERKIN ????......think so.

 

[gaby]

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP......FINAL tomorrow.....CANADA ---FINLAND...go CANADA.

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

Now Shesterkin has 3 assists in the playoffs! That is as many as Lafrenière, Lingdren and Miller, more than Kreider! Not only he keeps the puck out of his net but he also contribute to fill the one at the other end, lmao!

He is going to need to come up big in game 7. Saves, assists, anything that helps get the job done!

You forgot Jacob Trouba with his hit to the head of Jarvis.
He did the same to Sidney Crosby in the first round.
He is a specialist in dangerous hits.
On Natan MacKinnon, Jujhar Khaira and probably others.
If you do a search on google perhaps you ciuld find other cases.
Lightning star players will have to watch themselves.
Unless Pat Maroon take care of him at the start of the East Conference finale.

The blue shirts where brillant in the last 2 games, after game #5, I was very skeptical at how they could get around the Cane's center ice locking system. They did it with their speed, (finally getting their skates back), skills and, sometimes, nasty grit and roughness, Trouba is definately among the nhl vicious guy, too many hits to the head. Can't forget to mention their great defense and, of course, Shesterkin.

Looks like we could get a great show for the conference final.

I don't believe Trouba was penalized for either hit. They were legal. He reminds me of Scott Stevens of the New Jersey Devils. Lots of big hits. Do you remember this? This was a legal hit and Lindros was to blame for skating erect with his head up, which he had been coached not to do:

Similarly Gallant blamed Crosby for his own injury:

Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said he wasn't concerned that Trouba would be suspended.

"As great a player as Sid is, he does a lot of twisting and turning and spinning away from guys," Gallant said. "Troubs went to play the puck, and his elbow got up a little high on him. There was no intent. He wasn't trying to hurt anybody. Wasn't running people through the glass, that's for sure."

Jarvis hit was straight on, legal hit. No penalty.

Trouba did get called for high sticking on an unrelated play. However replay show the stick just kind of accidentally came up on him before contact. It probably could have been let go. I definitely would not have blown the whistle on it.

TONIGHT.....OILERS--AVS...wow...quel choc ....quel duel ......will go with the AVS.....ont plus de profondeur et de joueurs qui peuvent faire la différence dont KADRI et MAKAR ....will watch for sure.

So, you prefer to see best players injured than to see them making a very good show.
You must have loved the Broad Street Bullies (Philadelphia Flyers) of 1974 and 1975.
Montreal Canadians had to put on ice 2 or 3 goons for their American League in a pre-seaon game to put an end to that kind of brutal hockey.
I Remember one player name : Sean Shanahan. Montreal team won all the fights in that game and could play hockey in the regular games and win the Stanley Cup against the same Flyers.

 

[Cap'tain Fantastic]

The problem with Trouba is that he is intentionaly aiming at the head, no matter what the refs want to see on the ice. He already has 5 or 6 victims to his hunt, there is no coincidences or misfortune here.

You are putting words in my mouth, I stated the facts which are no penalties were called on those hits, and the players who got hit were at fault for their own injuries, as Gerard Gallant explained.

In hockey you need to pay attention to where you are skating and how you are skating to get there. If not, you pay the price, like Lindros did in the video above. Lindros paid a big price, and he suffered other injuries like that one due to his very upright, head down skating style making him prone to concussions and head hits. That is the nature of the sport. You guys should stop blaming Trouba, who was just doing his job, and start blaming the players who did not properly brace themselves and defend the hit. Legal hits will always look worse than they are when the recipient is caught unaware/unprepared or twisting, but that does not change the nature of the hit from legal to not legal.

AVS 8 EDM 6......wow again.....not what we are usually expecting from a playoff's game....lol....BUT with all those spectacular players on ice....well...ça vaut le spectacle.....
