Sharks have their 25 first for Hertl. Calgary has their 26 first for Hanifin. I think the 26 pick will be higher.

That's still an if.

You want option B to be almost as good (but with the goaltending).

We’ll see but I trust McKinnon and Makar more than Robertson and company

Their goaltending is what may kill them

Not sure I agree. You know that if Vegas is bad next year they'll just buy a new team and be good in 2025/26, when we need them to be bad.

The best outcome is if they don't see their bad 25/26 season coming.

That rookie Wyatt Johnson something else.

Every way? No, not even. A way to win overall, maybe.

Go Flams

I think I counted 15 former Flames in the first round of the playoffs.

Not including Gio and Brodie.

Hmm, I'll try:

Tanev
Hanifin
Kulak
Lindholm
Jankowski
Zadorov
Talbot
Rittich
Bennett
Ryan
Lomberg
Tkachuk
Jarnkrok
Monahan
Toffoli

Blanking on anyone else. Fox? Brossoit? Not sure if they count.

LOL. Did Hertl even play in this series?

[1qqaaz]

Winnipeg was deeper than Colorado as well. But the quality of the top end talent matters.

Have to say I'm not disappointed to see Miikka Oettingersoff make a reappearance this post season.

A goalie like that could be key to ABE.

Marek was talking about how Georgiev seems to be the kind of goalie that needs to play a lot of games to get his level of play up, which seemed to happen as the series went on.

[midniteowl]

Stars vs Avs will be a long series, 7 games. Avs have better top end talents and Stars have better goaltending.

Brodie (edit: nevermind I just read manhattans post, Gio didn’t play)
I was thinking this the other day, it seems like every game I watch I see a former flame. Weird year for that. Is it some sort of record?

Yup, me too.

The TNT panel giviyTanev a lot of love.

Which wins out?

And which game style dictates the series?

Will be interesting to find out.

[3rd liner]

Other than the #####ing expressionless d-bag Benn I have no issues with Dallas moving on. ABE. Oettinger seems super laid back and likeable:
I just wish the Avs had a goalie.

[TheIronMaiden]

Damn I was hoping for that 2nd.
