**** Official 2023-24 NHL Thread ****

[RockChalk]

Time to reboot for the upcoming season.

Anyone interested in doing a fun (or even low cost $25) Fantasy NHL League?

DeBoer is 8-0 in game 7s? Leafs should hire him, something would have to give.

Stars and Avs is going to be a slobber knocker

Should be an interesting series, hopefully goes 7.

I see randomness happening on ESPN.com, but not fully updated yet... looks to be Tues/Thurs/Sat/Mon to start.

I was mildly curious why they hadn't released Oilers/Canucks yet, wondering if maybe the next series would have started on different days had Vegas won, to give the dicks an extra travel day.


edit...

May 9: Game 2, 7:30 p.m. (TNT), Dallas

And down to 8

Avs vs Stars
Canucks vs Oilers
Canes vs Rangers
Bruins vs Panthers

Canada’s hopes for getting the Cup back up north isn’t looking real good once again

Ha.




(and for added context, what every other team sees...}

Florida in 6

Dangit. I have to pick a different team now. Heck with it, I'll pick EDM. Let's go Canada!!!

I want them to be good (until I don't), because I don't watch McDavid and Draisaitl nearly enough in the regular season... and in the past it's been frustrating to see them on a team that continuously implodes around them (dumb**** penalties by Kane and Nurse, goaltending issues like Mike Smith).

It's like the shots of Mahomes throwing off his jacket during :13... those two guys scoring a goal, just to see someone else **** it up, just for them to score again, just to see someone **** it up...

The Canucks didn't really impress in the first round, so I'm kind of hoping for another round of MacKinnon vs McDavid (and at the same time being careful what I wish for).

Yeah, kind of why I picked EDM. McDavid and Draisaitl are a lot of fun to watch. Might as well watch a pair of elite players do their thing if I can't watch my Blues in the playoffs.

Tkachuk gets the Panthers on the board 1-0

I watch the Oilers quit a bit. They are so fun to watch and Hyman too. With that said I just don’t see them getting by Dallas or Colorado. Goaltending and the backend to me would be their downfall. Unless of course they score 6 goals a game

Boston ties it up
