I agree. If it's the Leafs I hope not and if it's the Bruins, I really hope so.

Dang it.. I'm going to the game tonight.. It would have been nice to point and laugh at you after we win Game 4.

Agreed

Man, the Sharks really could do some damage if only they could get a (frank)ing save. I mean, we complain about Sparks here and his .902 Sv% is obviously sub par, but Martin Jones had a .896 over 62 (frank)ing games in the regular season

(Honourable shout-out also to Quick, Luongo, Talbot, Smith and Ward who also all had sub-0.900 Sv% )

I watched last nights game (first I've seen of the series as I was hyped on Meth). Brent Burns sucks absolute donkey Richard in his own zone. Karlsson is a close second. Dillon is a pylon. The Sharks were (frank)ing brutal.

They're definitely the team that will beat you 7-6 every game if they win at all.

Martin Jones also sucks donkey d!ck. I can’t believe we got a first round pick for him

Honestly, he looks like he's having major mobility issues out there. Before he was able to pivot and turn so quickly and gracefully, and now it looks like a chore for him. This season could literally have cost him many millions of dollars.

Bobrovsky .932
Vasilevsky .856


That's the goalie stats in the series. So no, Toronto isn't screwed if they face Columbus.

We lost last year against Boston because Freddie had a .896 save %.

You definitely don’t want to run into a .932 goalie in the playoffs though

Are the San Jose sharks the new New York Rangers?

They didn't serve smoked meat at the games back then.

Oh, they did at the Bell C last time I was there, been awhile though.

He's always been a decent middle of the pack starter, and he usually comes up a little better in the playoffs (0.920 career average in the postseason).

This season however...

Still though. You shouldn’t give up a #16 overall pick and Sean Kuraly for a relatively unproven commodity. He hadn’t been a starter at that point.

This about sums it up, had tix 6 rows behind lehner for game 5 to take my kid now its Brooklyn

Wait, the Isles are changing venues for the next round? Why?

Team sport, play well and your goalie looks good. Play like poop and your goalie looks pathetic.

Stop confusing me.. Change your franking avatar back.

San Jose is one of those "Good Teams" that can't get over the hump. At some point they'll need to rebuild. There's some aging players on that team. The Karlsson experiment did not work great thus far.

What's Burns excuse?

i don’t know that that’s always the case though. Generally I agree with you, but Freddie still had a great game 2 even though he let in 4 goals.

Yeah but Vas let in some softies. I think Columbus discovered a weakness and kept going for it (High glove side.)

Leafs have advantage in top 6.
I think it's a wash for 3rd line.
Columbus 4th line is dangerous.

Their top pairing is amazing.
I don't know what happened to their rest of the D but bottom two pairings don't look great on paper.

They have a slight advantage in goaltending if you look at the regular season over the last few seasons I think. Playoff hockey is unknown territory for him though.

Karlsson hasn't been the same since that surgery. Not sure he'll get offered 7 years as UFA.
