Alcona, ON
Quoted from sk8ersublime:Sigh. The Caps just played the worst series of the OV era. I dont think ive ever seen that team play so poorly over a stretch of games. Its mind boggling to me.
Agreed 100%

Quoted from hwyhed:Total bs to suspend Niskanen for just 1 game on the cross check on Gallagher. Imagine if someone did that to McDavid?! No fn way that guy gets a game, and the player sits out awhile w a broken jaw n eats thru a straw...
Minimum 2 games ...see the poor kids face???
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Minimum 2 games ...see the poor kids face???
I like Gallagher..I seen the kid play when he was with the Vancouver giants (whl) he’s a lil spark plug, kinda like a Tkachuk, can mix it up, n score some goals. No doubt that Niskanen, and all Flyers players, should be aware who’s around them on the ice..wouldn’t be surprised to see a Hab accidentally run into Hart 2nite..

Just think if the legal system was ran by the NHL..... a serial killer would get 1 year sentence with time served.
Mesa, AZ
Quoted from TheLaw:Umm..Boston and Tampa
I know but just having a feeling that’s all, and I am a Pens fan
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Wow...Vancouver up 4-0! The Blues/Canucks has been my favorite series to watch this first round.
Watching last period before whiskey n cigar
Heartbreaker. I didnt have high expectations for the blues after the interruption. They need too long to get going the last couple years. They just didnt have it at all since the restart.
Congrats to the Canucks. They're playing good disruptive hockey right now. I'm really interested to see how they do against a really physical LV team.
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Buh bye Habs
At least we won more first round games then the Leafs this year.
Blues are still a helluva team. O’Reilly is a beast, Perron is a pest that any team would luv to have. Not having a healthy Tarasenko I’m sure didn’t help. So many posts by the Blues could of changed the outcome..be happy Blues fan, shit, you held Lord Stanley’s cup last year..

Well played sir. Gallagher for Nylander straight up? I would pull that trigger.

I’m just happy Bozak and the Fans won a cup ...next time don’t let Brett Hull near a microphone.
I’m really upset Leivo couldn’t participate in Canucks run..I have never told him that. He’s devastated.

Perron did nothing for me when on the Pens

Nobody in MTL would.
You must be the guy calling the AM stations with the trade proposals! Are you Salvator from Woodbridge?
Quoted from gambit3113:Stars win!!
Looked good doing it (especially the first line for once). Avs probably lost Grubauer for the series/season too.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Marc-Andre Fleury's agent just posted this picture on Twitter. The blade has coach DeBoer's name on it. Lol
I guess we know who is starting between the pipes for Vegas Sunday.
This is probably Fleury's last season with the VGK.

Just read the article did not think it was true. The article did not have pic so thanks for posting, I thought it should be Fleurys team. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/29720454/vegas-marc-andre-fleury-agent-tweet-implies-goalie-benched
Quoted from newovad:Looked good doing it (especially the first line for once). Avs probably lost Grubauer for the series/season too.
That’s a deal breaker for them ad could change the outcome as I had Avs to win this series but maybe now big trouble.

Update Fluery just had it removed from his agent
Quoted from Jackontherocks:Update Fluery just had it removed from his agent
A very cavalier thing for the agent to do. Especially during a playoff run.
I still think Fleury's time in Vegas is done though.
He just signed an extension through 2022. Would Seattle grab him if Vegas left him unprotected? That would be funny.
Quoted from gambit3113:He just signed an extension through 2022. Would Seattle grab him if Vegas left him unprotected? That would be funny.
I believe he's a 7 million dollar cap hit. So Seattle poaching him is a very possibility...if Vegas doesn't trade him before then...and they leave him unprotected.
It would be funny if it happened though. It would be the 2nd time Fleury got poached by expansion teams.
Curious what Jamie Benn's reputation is around the league. I see a lot of grumbling about him being a cheapshot artist. Is that true?
I can tell you that he's never been one of the most beloved big names down here. Modano was obviously the man, even though he's proved to be weird and kinda an asshole in retirement. Hull is beloved for obvious reasons. But even Brenden Morrow was more embraced, honestly. Don't get me wrong, he's loved. Just not like the other big names were.
Hockey down here is weird, though. We have the true diehards that really like hockey, then the Stars fans that don't watch any other hockey or pay attention to the rest of the league at all, then the typical Dallas sports fan that won't pay one second of attention until or unless the Stars get into the conference finals. The true fans here, though, look at Benn as an albatross and were never in favor of giving him that contract, money or term or no-movement. But we did and now we are stuck with him. The guy had a good game against Colorado, but I fully expect him to go back into hibernation for the rest of the series. The buzz has always been that he would go back to BC if the Canucks ever came sniffing, and I wonder if Seattle is close enough for him. I'd go ask him if he'd waive his NMC to be left unprotected and try to lure Seattle into taking him, but I am sure they would laugh at the prospect. He's not captain material - Miro will be the captain in 2 seasons.
Interesting comment. Its up to Seattles Scouts. Myself, i would take Benn. Not too easy to play against is he? A lucic with more skill?
Quoted from cdnpinbacon:Interesting comment. Its up to Seattles Scouts. Myself, i would take Benn. Not too easy to play against is he? A lucic with more skill?
We paid him for what he did in the past. He's worn out already. He skates like he's in cement. With Seguin never recovering his wheels after he nearly sliced his achilles in half, their line is just brutal to watch skate now.
I guess this stars year or bust. Good point about Seguin...reminds me of Erik karlsson
Why not have Benn stay on the ice even more but on defence?? Great shot, he knows how to play the position..super scary in the corners...like a Pronger.
Quoted from meSz:Capitals fire coach Todd Reirden
Again?
When did Niskanen become such a hack?
Isles looking strong for the most part. That second period was all Philly but Isles kept them from getting good quality SOG.
Quoted from beergut666:Ouch, that's a terrible period for Colorado.

Good grief .... it's official Rutherford is senile
