TB 2 years ago?

The Avalanche have to go for the shorthanded goal.

Leafs are the best built team that can't get out of the first round.

Hockey totally has a big luck factor involved but if you are a great team you should be able to overcome bad bounces in a 7 game series.

You could be right. I think there’s so many good teams that sometimes it is a matter of bad bounces. In this series fleury is stealing it which also plays into the bad luck. But I still think this years’ team is easily the best in the league not only on paper.

the 2015, 2016, 2018 Lightning were all conference finals+ teams. 2019 was an anomaly for them.

Hard to believe an elite two way player, one of the best in the NHL was just kind of sitting in Ottawa available. When you look back, you'd give almost anything for him, as he's the type of player you'd be lucky to draft if you were drafting top 3.

Hence the best team that didn’t make it past the second round two years ago. Unless the question was “never”.

I think the idea was more about the core not making it past the second round rather than a single-year roster.

Not if he wouldn't sign an extension, which Stone was only willing to do with Vegas. Don't blame him one bit for that either, very smart move by him

Has there ever been a more successful expansion team in the history of pro sports?

Is anyone else barely able to hear the crowd on Sportsnet? I mean I can hear crowd noise, but looking at the actual crowd going crazy, it seems like Sportsnet is capturing like 10% of actual crowd noise.

So annoying.

The Caps prior to winning the cup could never get past the 2nd round if I recall correctly.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

That's it..................see ya Avs.

Good job helping your team out Kadri. That's what being a selfish idiot will do to a team. Mark Schiefle can attest to it.

[Joborule]

Wow. Did not see 4 in a row coming.

Habs are ####ed.

[kukkudo]

I think Jared is gonna be in the hot seat. They go out and get a Vet coach for next season.

And Gary Galley’s constant nattering is awful.

Bowen Byram not playing over Nemeth was as dumb as it gets it from Bednar.

The Kadri Curse lives.
