Haven't been paying close enough attention to why Calgary and Vancouver are playing this series. Is there some contractual obligation? Is it in case it impacts the draft? Personal stats for players?
Quoted from TheLaw:Wow this Avalanche team is scary
Picked the Blues to go to win the cup because I am a homer and anything can happen in the playoffs, but yeah, the Avs are really freaking good.

They are finishing out the regular season.

I get that but what’s the point when it doesn’t amount to much of anything.

Standings and draft.

As a Canucks fan, I want the season to be over already. I’m curious what they do with management/coaching. This year’s draft is apparently defensive heavy. Time for a change here, the fans deserve better.
Quoted from finnflash:And I'm sure they have already sold tickets and they can make a little bit of money.
No fans in buildings here.
Tv deal maybe.
Quoted from finnflash:Oh really. Some here are almost full capacity it seems like.
Not trying to be lovey Dovey, but full respect for being a Selanne fan.
Anyone here a Habs fan ? . I'm looking at making the series a little interesting , looking for a bet . i'll take the leafs , you take the habs , looser donates $25 Canadian/Leafs money , to pinside in the winners name as a donation . anyone up for it ?

As said, its all about the money and tv deals, promos, advertising, etc. Seems really odd but what hasn't been lately.
Quoted from TheLaw:Wow this Avalanche team is scary
Every player has super speed it seems like a video game
I see Kadri is still doing playoff Kadri things.
Dude should be gone for the series....minimum.
Repeat offender status warrants it.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:I predicted COL/TB finals in our playoff bracket pool.
I have the avs n canes in the finals
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Tavares down...looks scary. Wow!!
Completely accidental. (Even though it's Corey Perry)
Very scary. Happened so quick, at 1st I thought he got a blade in the face. Hope that he’s gonna be okay

His head snapped back something nasty!! I'm hoping the best case scenario is a concussion and nothing spinal related or a cracked vertabrae.
Because it was Corey Perry it's hard to give him the complete benefit of the doubt that it was accidental. He's such a dirty weasel. Lol

Not for the faint of heart. I really hope it's just a concussion.
Luckily Colorado is deep enough that the loss of Kadri will be minimal. Everyone was shredding Sakic for his "youth" movement 5 seasons ago instead of spending big bucks on veterans. His vision is finally paying dividends and fans who called for his head in 2016/17 when they finished in the basement with 48 points, are now singing his praises. Landeskog, MacKinnon, Rantanen, Toews, and Makar are easily one of the deadliest lines in the entire league. I say Avs/Canes in the final for Lord Stanley.

Kadri doesn't really add anything to the avs and can be easily replaced. He doesn't cast a shadow like he used to.

I don’t know about that, he’s defensively sound and strength up the middle is huge especially this time of year. He can also add some depth scoring from someone other than the big 3. I think you’re underplaying him a little but with that said he’s a scumbag. That hit was such BS man and he does something dirty every playoff it seems.
On another note my heart is with JT. The way his body reacted reminded me of Marc Savard. Unfortunately I think he might be in a dark room for a few months.
Yah.
15 GF, 5 GA through 3 games, is pretty impressive. Binnington better get some aloe on the back of his neck, that sunburn from the red light constantly going off behind him must be unbearable by now, and he still has to endure it another game. St Louis smashed the Avs every which way physically last night on the ice and it didn't matter, Colorado took their best shots and still walked away with an easy win. Nazem who???

Blues outplayed them, and had terrible luck. It happens to the best of them. Now my bracket is fucked.
Quoted from finnflash:And we lose a top defenseman, not an even trade off.
Yea not a fair outcome at all.
Quoted from Meegis:Is there an over/under on when Marchand will kiss/lick again?
Just curious
That's like asking if Luis Suarez will bite an opponent during the FIFA World Cup. Incredibly ridiculous but highly probably.
