Kes Smith-Green 🇬🇧🇦🇪

@WatchMyReview @FlareosDaCat @LeafsLose1967 @PuckReportNHL I would say yes. If you weren't in the first round, you weren't in the playoffs. Thanks for playing.

@KesSmith01 @FlareosDaCat @LeafsLose1967 @PuckReportNHL So did Pens continue their playoff streak? Because NHl said they did and they lost to Montreal in the playin.

OFFICIAL: Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from playoff contention. The NHL’s longest active playoff streak ends at 9 seasons. #LeafsForever

@FFCane32 I agree, but it also means the defense has to be better. Getting caught on the pinch into the o zone means they get caught frequently exposing the goalies to high danger shots.

@KesSmith01 It crates a match up problem for many teams. They are a handful.

Hall-Stank-Blake The Canes best line for an extended period of time now. They are a threat every time they hit the ice. #CarolinaCulture

@FlareosDaCat @LeafsLose1967 @PuckReportNHL Nope, they played a qualifying round to get in the playoffs, of which there were 16 teams. They lost to Columbus. They came through to that from a bye round instead of going through the round robin.

@LeafsLose1967 @PuckReportNHL 2020 didn’t follow a traditional playoff format due to certain things, but rather the top 4 of the respective conference got a first round bye and played round robin. 5 through 12 played a best of 5 first round, so yes Leafs got in.

@Leafsforeverrr @PuckReportNHL How is a team that hasn't won a cup in 68 years a Mecca of hockey? When there was 6 teams. Yes, they have the hockey hall of fame, but it was opened when there was 4 teams 😂 there wasn't even a HOF induction in the last year Toronto won. Until 1968 when there was 12 teams.

@PuckReportNHL Atleast we don’t have to here other fan bases saying we’re chokers this year. But also the NHL is a better place either way the leafs in the playoffs since we are the Mecca of this league

@thedailykaily Yeah it's a long ass book to listen to. The Stand by Stephen King was something similar. Anything that long, prefer to read.

Thought about listening to The Count of Monte Cristo since I last read it in 9th grade and… FORTY SEVEN HOURS

@emanningwrites Having to watch it a period at a time.

😂 This is one of the reasons I prioritized the Habs game tonight (the other being that the Habs have more at stake down the stretch). There's only so much of That Broadcast I can take.

@corylav @emanningwrites Not bad considering how dire it was up to December. Think we were last, up to that point. I'm sure Cory will correct me graciously if wrong.

The Hurricanes’ power play is now tied for fourth best in the NHL.

@RBreadBowl @ZachCaniac Difference is, if Cam Ward was playing now. He would really struggle on those breakaways too. Skating is faster, movement is sharper even compared to the cup days. Many would struggle to keep those high save percentages.

@ZachCaniac Cam Ward, Bussi big gap. Even bigger gap. Freddie

Who would you rather have in your net in an in-game breakaway scenario? #CarolinaCulture

@SlipperyNodd @sdpnsports @ToyotaCanada Even to blame it on not having a superstar is worse. 5, 20 goal scorers shows ability not weakness. Do we need a 2C, possibly. Will stankhoven step up? Most definitely. Nothing in the free agent moment was worth what it was offered for. Off season, is where it happens.

@SlipperyNodd @sdpnsports @ToyotaCanada Its not personal. Simply a game I enjoy. As a former goalie, I see both good and bad. Canes have had seasons when they don't score enough, seasons where the defense has been shocking and some where goalies haven't done well. To blame it all on goalies is short sighted.

@jarvschaos Hoping to. Depends on work.

so who's going to the global series in finland as well? :p

@rmario44 @dowderchowderr Amazing how many people really want to put a photo without point of contact, to prove their narrative. Absolutely clean hit. I hate Wilson with a passion and think he is one of the worst offenders in the league. However, this was a textbook, how to make a clean, impactful hit.

@dowderchowderr Elbow to the head, jumping into the check. But yes tell yourself whatever you want.

The comments are really showing how many people don't watch hockey. In case people need to know why this is clean: 1) arm is tucked upon initial contact 2) skates don't leave ice until after initial contact 3) Tom is bent, lowered down 4) 0.5 seconds after McBain released puck

@wyshynski If div champs get the wild cards. It isn't 1 through 8. 1 through 8 you get: COL v NSH DAL v VGK MIN v EDM ANA v UTH Anaheim are terrible, as are the whole Pacific. If you went 1-16 though, EDM, VGK, UTA and NSH wouldn't even make the playoffs.

Assuming div champs get the first and second seeds, 1-through-8 gets you: COL v NSH (same as WC format) ANA v VGK DAL v EDM MIN v UTAH

@TopTierPucks @PlayProphetX @zach_20007 @JCourvilleLynch Still makes me laugh. A defenseman trophy, not about defending. @NHL being a dumb as a chocolate fire-guard.

NHL Updated Norris Trophy Rankings

@mostlysports @BFW Each team has to win 4 games per round. 16 games for the cup. You just want a team to not suck in the first round. If you are not the finalist, no one cares. Carolina are that team currently, has made the ECF and people say they suck and cant make the final. Look at the Leafs!

The NHL playoff format makes absolutely NO SENSE @BFW

@mikecommito Shame that the support for the team wasn't as prevalent when it was around, as it is now. Many of those moaning never watched the team and were more concerned about the loss of amenities the team brought. It is terrible when a team has to move. You don't support it, you lose it.

On this day in 1997, it was announced that the Whalers would be leaving Hartford at the end of the season #Hockey365

@KyrieAndrews @Canes @FanaticsBook I'm the same, players, of course.

@Canes @FanaticsBook The guy who said unless you're a player is the one I agree with. Since I'm not a player, my jerseys don't have my name.

Customized jerseys are a no-go apparently #Canes | @FanaticsBook

@t2j7p @NHL_Watcher Ha ha ha! This is ripe for them to become the new Leafs. A series of 1st round losses 😂

@NHL_Watcher GIVE ME ANYONE! #BELIEVE

If I'm the Habs, I'd rather drop to a wildcard spot and play Carolina or Buffalo than finish 3rd and face Tampa.
