Why did they get a hockey team? Fans are watching from the Oxygen bars on the club level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewookie1 Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Not been a fun day Toronto wins Vegas wins  Tampa needs to figure it out and kill the Leafs before their fans no longer have that great Achilles heel of having not won a series in a longer time than Buffalo. Vegas I expected to likely win but it ticks me off seeing Eichel all happy when he tried to #### us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 Kraken with their first ever home ice playoff win ties the series 2-2. That was an exciting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty convinced at this point that the hockey gods would allow sabrespace to have more joy if they didn't celebrate victory after the first mile of a marathon literally every single time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverPowerYou Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 3 teams I’m rooting against  - Bruins for obvious reasons - Golden Knights because Eichel - Kraken don’t deserve a playoff team yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, never count out the Bolts, they have playoff experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those moves could have been made by the Sabres, who what? "deserve" to be in just, because? Sabres fans definitely deserve better, but the Sabres? management and ownership deserve exactly what they've blundered into all these years. I know there are many ways to say it's not comparable, but last year's Kraken roster and the Sabres roster were even in many ways. They took a step up and they are not going away. Would the Sabres have made the playoffs if they were in their division? Maybe. Those things don't matter though. Playoff success does. Kraken are fun to watch. Makar should have gotten 2-3 imo, but I guess no history and a star so 1 game. Still weird to watch E-Rod getting big minutes. Colorado likely still beats the Kraken, but they do not look deep enough to get back to the final. Wouldn't be surprised if they went out to the winner of Dallas/Minnesota.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are currently winning without either Bergeron or Krejci in the line up. Bertuzzi looks like he was made for the playoffs. Marchand is scoring again. DeBrusk is scoring. the big question mark going in was about Ullmark. Would he be a "playoff goalie" and so far the answer is a resounding yes. Made some incredible saves at key moments. I mean anything can happen to anyone and the refs can help the Leafs even more and there's always luck but I don't see a weakness right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what it is, maybe Florida is better than I thought, but they just don't seem as in sync as they did all season to my eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
