beekay414 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 No matter how this series plays out, I hope fans realize that we made it further in the SCP, a year after picking #2 overall, than the Boston Bruins, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Colorado Avalanche.

When you consider that two of his points came in absolute garbage time of blowouts, he's ostensibly had 3 real points in 8 games. I wouldn't expect it to get much better in this series, but especially on the road. Carolina is just going to line match him against Staal and Slavin and clog the blue line from zone entries. It should be better at home, hopefully I really don’t feel that’s totally fair. Igor was incredible. Jack had multiple chances that series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say for sure in hockey , but in every other sport teams have to experience a playoff run , loss before they are ready for a championship. This team is early and is getting what they need for a run. You think Severson and Graves are gone? I do . I like Graves a lot, but it’s just not great asset management Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally have their in-house replacements ready and they're both blue chippers. Unless we can get them back at discounted rates, it would make no sense to bring them back.

beekay414 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 @Rainmaker90 and you're right, every eventual champion makes a run and drops in the playoffs before inevitably hoisting the Cup. I have no doubt in my mind that we're going to win one with this core. It's just too ******* good already to not think that we won't.

beekay414 Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 I think Mercer losing that first goal faceoff in game 1 may have put the end to the Mercer as 3C for Lindy. Thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack had multiple chances that series Teams face good goalies in the playoffs. The great ones will put up points and produce. A small dip is to be expected, but you still have to do your thing. The sample is what it is right now. It's bad, but small. He'll have opportunities to change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully. Lindy is definitely a guy that believes in the power of the faceoff, so I could certainly see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
