Okay I will reword my question. Will the fine gentleman who insisted on multiple occasions that Manson was pretty much washed up please admit they were about as wrong as those who suggested Muzzin should be benched for the playoffs.

Speaking of which, where has Dozzer been?

Oilers trying their best to get swept in the 3rd period here. Yikes.

they are most likely serving a time out from posting.

MacKinnon has had how many cheap hits in this series? Knee on knee on Hyman? Slew foot? Nothing gets more than 2 minutes and no more. He is the golden child. They love this guy. He's the media star.

He dives at every opportunity and is a cheap shot player this series.

I love MacKinnon, but not this series. It's complete bullpoop.

Channeled his inner Kadri to get it done

Three elite Dmen still playing. Hedman, Fox and Makar are all deserving of high praise.

- Aaron_85

You can't help but wonder if this will affect how Kadri and his agent approach his UFA status? Probably not. I assume he will be asking $9m on a long term deal.

Colorado has the cap space to do a deal. But they also have MacKinnon next year and Makar is locked into a long term contract at $9m. Maybe I read this entirely wrong, but would not be surprised to see Colorado pass on Kadri.

Difficult decision for Sakic. But he seems to be ahead of most GMs when it comes to reading the long term game.

Go Leafs Go

Followed by this honest tweet:

True fact: in the last two decades the Leafs have never blown a 3-1 lead to be eliminated from the conference final.*

Connor McDavid (33) + Leon Draisaitl (32) combined for 65 points. Tied for 3rd-most by a playoff duo in the past 31 years.

Malkin-Crosby in 2009 + Kucherov-Point in 2020 combined for 67. Gretzky-Sandstrom had 65 in 1993. Lemieux-Recchi had 78 (lol) in 1991.

Oilers won 8 games.

having the best player(s) in the League doesnt mean a thing in the NHL anymore.

Mcdavid can only play 1/3 of the game

I wouldn't say it's meaningless. They lost in the 3rd rnd to one of the best teams in the league.

It still means something.

But it's still obvious this is a team game and the two headed monster cannot win by itself.

Interesting take.

If you were about to begin playoffs, who would you want as your first selection? Best goalie (Vasilevski or Shesterkin). Best Dman (Fox, Hedman or Makar). Best forward (McDavid, MacKinnon, Draisaitl, Matthews, Zibanejad, or Kucherov).

For me, probably Makar.
