NHL Playoffs: Boos Rain Down in Tampa
Published on April 12, 2019
- The boos rained down on the Bolts at the end of the second. They deserved it. That was ugly.
- So, 326 regular reason points mean squat if you can't score in the postseason. I'm talking to you, Nikita Kucherov, Sidney Crosby and Steven Stamkos. Pointless in the playoffs. Spit.
- Jarmo Kekalainen's roll of the dice looks like a master strategy right now. Wow. Who cares what Matt Duchene did in the regular season?
- The sound you hear is Sergei Bobrovsky's next contract increasing. CHA-CHING.
- Jordan Eberle's backhand shelf was a beaut. He's leading all playoff scorers. Somewhere, Connor McDavid is cringing.
- You're in big trouble when you lose on home ice. Just saying.
- Nikita Kucherov got damn lucky. Frustration is one thing, but he could have hurt Markus Nutivaara. Great season, but that was pure jerk.
- Vegas went 11-2 when scoring first in the playoffs last year. And it seems to be easy against Martin Jones.
- Connor Hellebuyck looked shaky again. Oskar Sundqvist's first goal had a significant odor. He has to tighten that up. Fast.
- Colin Miller's shortie was all on Erik Karlsson. WTF was that pass? You're paid a lot of money to have puck awareness. Seriously. You redeemed yourself later that period, but c'mon.
- Seth Jones and Zach Werenski might just be the best pairing in the NHL. Absolutely dominant.
- Watch the Sharks and Knights if you can. Six goals in the first period. Supreme speed. It was like a feeding frenzy. That might be the wildest first period of the entire season. Wow.
