2020 NHL playoffs

Hopefully we see Philly and Vancouver win tonight to make this round of the playoffs more interesting.

How do you see that working for Toronto?  They already have major salary cap issues.  Getting rid of Andersen gives them $5M back...but Fleury is $7M for the next two seasons.

i don't see it either but maybe Vegas takes salary back.
I personally don't think Fleury is an upgrade. quite the opposite. I actually see him capable of completely Dung the bed.
and so I'd like this move.

Nylander will be moved and they'll clear space by not re-upping barrie, spezza, etc. I see Toronto with a small window. Tavares will start to decline in a few years and Matthews will either make more money or will sign elsewhere when his contract is up. If Nylander stays, I imagine they trade Kerfoot. Could be wy they went out and got Rodrigues.

Just Colorado/Dallas tonight....at 8pm. Let's go Avs.

I’d liked to see Dallas win because nobody called that.

Also, Dallas will test Vegas the most and is the only team that could stop them. Love Vegas, lots of money on them, but I want them to earn it after an entire league of dumb GM’s gave them a championship team from day 1.

I still am very confused as to how they landed Shea Theodore from Anaheim in exchange for not drafting Manson or Vatanen in the expansion draft.  Yikes. Vegas literally gave up nothing for him.

The complete list of those trades and deals can be found throughout there 23 man future Stanley Cup roster.

Their best deal is yet to come. They are exempt from giving Seattle anyone.

Congratulations. You won your appeal and your Stars pick is now valid.

So is Michael Hutchinson going to backstop the Avs to a surprise comeback? Does Bishop or Khudobin get the nod for Dallas? What is happening?? Does Landeskog play?

Should be fun. Finally a game 7.

It should be Bishop and Hutchinson and I think Bishop has shaken off the rust enough to steal a win.

Don't underestimate Bishop's ability to Dung the bed.

That said, we got a doubleheader tonight. Let's go Flyers & Canucks. More game 7s pls and thanks.

Meh, it’s the quarter finals to me and I enjoy Trotz. It’s a beautiful game.

Are the Isles sad tonight? 50 shots exciting for you?

Looks like they are sad chokers, yes

them too

Game 7 winners will be Vegas, Dallas with Bishop and the Isles?

Let's just be happy we have three game 7s.

Vancouver, Isles, Colorado. Momentum is huge. 4-0 win for Van City was massive. Colorado finally solved Dallas goaltending. But I don't see the Flyers pulling off the comeback though. Not after blowing all these leads and scraping wins out.
