GDT - BBKL Round 3 Playoffs

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Anaheim Ducks (2) vs Edmonton Oiler (4)

Big Shot Arian tries his wiles against 2 time reigning western conference champ Matthew in this exciting match that could go either way. Arians wiles come in the form of a super artillery barrage that features Draisatl, Marner, Suzuki, guentzel, Toews, McAvoy and Forsling that have made Edmonton into the numero uno point scoring team and #2 in goals in BBKL. While Arian draws from the hip, Matthew will give ya the boot as his Anaheim Ducks feature such rough and tumble thugs as McBain, Jeannot, Cernak, Benoit, and Seider that have placed him #1 in SHTOI, #2 in Hits, #2 in PIM and #5 in Blocks in BBKL. While their skaters are fairly even this matchup may come down to either teams lacklustre backup goaltenders: Edmonton sports Desmith and Anaheim has Swayman whose NHL teams matchup on saturday.

Nylander - s. Aho - Nichushkin

EASTERN CONFERENCE

Toronto Maple Leags (1) vs Philadelphia Flyers (5)

Welchie and Shep faceoff in what could be Sheps last week in BBKL as he has one last playoff swan song before he departs. The Laffs and Philly both sport high powered offensive units (McDavid, Matthews, Kempe, and Burns) and (Kucherov, Huberdeau, Hertl, and Lindholm) but where Toronto separates himself among the skating units is periphs with two way warriors like Bergeron and Hathaway. Sheps advantage comes with Saros in net and he will need to him to pull through if he wants to take down his second eastern conference titan in two weeks.


Toronto Lineup:

Kempe - McDavid - Johansson
Crouse - Matthews - Dellandrea
Grant - Bergeron - Hathaway
Lewis - Haula - Tolvanen

Burns - Grzelcyk
Jensen - Romanov
Anderson - Jones

Markstrom
Vladar


Philadelphia Lineup:

Kucherov - Hertl - Huberdeau
Mercer - Hartman - Coleman
Sprong - Toropchenko - Duhaime
Chiasson - Sillinger

Lindholm - Orlov
Rielly - Parayko
Pionk - Gustafsson
M. Staal

Looking at Anaheim roster scared your boys so much they decided to lose rather than face The Mighty Ducks.

[Matthew]

Desmith in net tonight for Arian
Feel like this matchup comes down to goalies

Great start for Desuck!

[Matthew]

Poor shep lost his shutout with 1 second remaining in nsh/bos game

[Shoalzie]

Arian will need that offense to come through after the rough showing by DeSmith. The Wings lineup is depleted but they still hang 6 on him plus an empty-netter.

It's so weird to see teams with important games left in the season but they play so awful. The Jets get shutout last night in a very important game. It tells you how much of a drop off there is in the West between the top 3 in the divisions and then down to Seattle and then the last wild card spot is a team that's probably a lamb to slaughter in the first round.

[Matthew]

Was expecting sway and ulmark to split the 4 games this week. Seems ulmark is getting 3 which of course leaves me a little crestfallen.

[Arian The Insider]

That DeSmith performance absolutely destroyed goaltending categories for me either way, as Swayman will get 1 start at least. I have to hope Boston loses so wins stay tied, but with that record it's unlikely.

[Matthew]

YES

Another GWG tastes great

[Matthew]

Fuuuck this is killing me

[Matthew]

Cmooon boston

[Matthew]

Yaaaa boi

[Matthew]

So close flip a coin for who wins tomorrow

[kyuss]

Marner needs to step up for Arian today after shitting the bed this past night
