NHL Short Notes
05/15/22 at 04:48 AM ET | Comments (0)
* Four-time scoring champion Connor McDavid had two points across more than 27 minutes of ice time in Game 7 to match the highest opening-round point total in 29 years (14 points) and lift Edmonton into the Second Round for the first time since 2017.
* Carolina’s Max Domi and Tampa Bay’s Nicholas Paul played the role of “unlikely hero” in Game 7 by each scoring their first two career playoff goals in winning efforts – both factoring on all of their team’s goals.
* The three Game 7s were tied or within one goal for 81% of playing time during a tripleheader Saturday, including all of the Lightning-Maple Leafs matchup.
* If you thought Saturday was fun, get ready for two more Game 7s on Sunday with the Penguins-Rangers and Stars-Flames contesting winner-take-all showdowns to conclude the 2022 First Round.

On To Round 2 For The Edmonton Oilers
05/15/22 at 01:14 AM ET | Comments (2)
Edmonton defeated the LA Kings 2-0 to win their serues 4-3.
First off, props to the LA Kings. I doubt many of us thought they would take the Oilers to seven games.
One other thing, this is Conner McDavid's league, everyone else can form a line behind him.
Highlights first, handshakes below.

The Aftermath After Another First Round Loss By The Toronto Maple Leafs
05/15/22 at 12:22 AM ET | Comments (11)
from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,
Better team.
Tougher opponent.
Same devastating finish.
The best version of these Toronto Maple Leafs lost a 2-1 heartbreaker on home ice to the Tampa Bay Lightning Saturday and once again saw their post-season end in seven games or less.
The difference between this version, this defeat, is that they showed up and gave the two-time champions everything they could muster, never trailing the series until it was all over.
“The Leafs have a helluva team,” said Tampa’s Jon Cooper, who coaches a helluva team himself. “And they’ve been knocking at the door for so long. That's why such a big deal has been made about them not advancing in a series — because they are a really good team.
“I think they've grown as a group. I think their stars are stars. And they've got a really good team game and coach does a helluva job.”
Indeed, heads should be held high.

The Tampa Bay Lightning Advance To Round 2 Of The Stanley Cup Playoffs

Tampa beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 to win the series 4-3.
As I have said, you have to knock out the champ. Toronto played well but...their last series win was 2004.
Here are the game highlights and the handshakes are below.

Coaching Style Will Matter To Lou Lamoriello
05/14/22 at 09:05 PM ET | Comments (3)
from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
No, of course Lou Lamoriello did not seek his players’ permission to dismiss Barry Trotz, are you kidding me?
But you also couldn’t be more naive if you believe that feedback elicited during the players’ exit meetings did not influence the Islanders’ supreme hockey leader’s decision to cut ties with the coach who had brought the franchise its greatest run of success since the Dynasty.
Those meetings, according to sources with knowledge of the events, did not include the threat of mutiny. But we are told that enough players — and ones who mattered — expressed frustration over the team’s single-dimensional, safety-first, safety-last, grinding approach to the 82-game marathon in this era in which high-end skilled athletes dominate the regular season.
Chances are that these conversations ratified Lamoriello’s independent, eye-test analysis rather than opening his eyes to fissures that might have developed during this longest season.
When it comes to Lamoriello and coaches, it is never about what has been accomplished in the past. It is always about whether Lamoriello believes he has a coach who can take his team to the next level. The next level always means the Stanley Cup.
Even though Trotz has already won one Cup, with Washington in 2018, that mattered about as much as it did to Lamoriello when he fired Larry Robinson in New Jersey a year and a half after winning the 2000 Cup.
