Well, my Panthers-as-champs bracket is dead. Wasn't really the greatest idea anyway.
I respect the Lightning, just a grinding, smart, playoff buzzsaw of a team, but for fuck's sake am I sick of them.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:How do you determine intent?
I know it’s probably an impossible task, but the penalty was made to stop the old flip-it-in-the stands to get out of trouble. This one clearly looked incidental. Maybe the standard should be no penalty only when it is clearly incidental.

That would mean we give the refs even more leighway. I barely trust them to make the right calls now when it comes to penalties....imagine if we gave them the ability to penalize via intent to delay?
Would not be good in my opinion.

Good point. Some of those tripping calls can be questionable….
Quoted from ImNotNorm:If Kadri gets a hat trick I will laugh.
Hahahaha! Takes out Binnington and gets a hat trick the next game.
I wonder if Binnington is going to chuck water bottles at Kadri again in the post game interview.

I dont put it past Binner dropping the gloves with him next year.
Quoted from finnflash:I dont put it past Binner dropping the gloves with him next year.
Me neither. Binnington has a temper, lol
I remember him going after the Sharks players and goalie when he got pulled last year.
I really thought Florida would give Tampa more of a battle than they did, especially with Point out. Vasi was stellar though, and that was the biggest difference maker imo.
Quoted from finnflash:I dont put it past Binner dropping the gloves with him next year.
Binny ain't dropping the gloves with anyone 1v1, he'll wait until 2 or 3 of his guys are in front of him before he starts with all his "badassery".
Quoted from Quicksilver1:Binny ain't dropping the gloves with anyone 1v1, he'll wait until 2 or 3 of his guys are in front of him before he starts with all his "badassery".
Yup...
Popsicle stick man

Or throw water bottles while they are being interviewed!
He had to have the thought, grab a bottle, then walk all the way out of his locker room to the interview, and still think it was a good idea to throw it! - what a coward!
Quoted from Deaconblooze:I don't think the hit on binnington was dirty, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.
Totally agree... as a Hab fan I still hate Kreider for taking out Price!
Quoted from Quicksilver1:Binny ain't dropping the gloves with anyone 1v1, he'll wait until 2 or 3 of his guys are in front of him before he starts with all his "badassery".
I dont agree with you there. Not sure when hes hid behind someone, but whatever. I didn't think the hit on him looked intentional, but now Kadri has taken out 1 of our guys 2 years in a row I really dislike that guy.
Quoted from VALIS666:I respect the Lightning, just a grinding, smart, playoff buzzsaw of a team
I’ve been thinking about that, maybe that’s the best way to have sustained success now. Are the days of star-studded dynasty teams over? I’m guessing that after the salary cap and expansion to where we are now, we may never see teams like the Islanders with Bossy, Trottier, Goring, Potvin, the Oilers with Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Coffee, Fuhr, the Wings with Yzerman, Federov, Shanahan, Lidstrom, Hasek, the Habs with Shutt, Lafleur, Robinson, Dryden.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Is Kadri the new Claude Lemieux?
No becasue that wasn't a cheap shot.
Quoted from TheLaw:No becasue that wasn't a cheap shot.
Yes that's true. But he sure is a pest like Claude.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Yes that's true. But he sure is a pest like Claude.
Then he's the next Tom Wilson
Quoted from ImNotNorm:The local classic rock radio station (K97) in the city has renamed itself Konnor 97.
Lol the hype is real around these parts.

Yea I hear that all time. But it's usually used sarcastically to make fun of Oiler fans.

I don't see the Oilers beating the Avs or the Bolts so the Cup will elude McDavid this year! That's right ... Avs n Bolts in the finals. I just saved you all from wasting time watching the next round!

If I am wrong I'll buy all of ya a beer and dinner.
So Ranger/Canes game was pretty good....for the first 6 minutes!

Quoted from wolverinetuner:Maybe Canes should just decline power plays?
A lot of time left. I’m not sure canes are done yet!

It snows in the lake arrowhead/big bear area, does that count?! Santa Barbara is a lil classy for this cowboy
Quoted from wolverinetuner:Wow, that Rangers goal is huge.
Yeah stick the fork in the Canes.
Good news is, an NHL game is about to start!
I got 20 bucks that says Colorado dresses Kurtis MacDermid in game 5. There's no way Bednar is gonna let David Perron skate around for a 2nd game head hunting Kadri all night.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:Another 15 goal game coming??
Quoted from meSz:I don't see the Oilers beating the Avs or the Bolts so the Cup will elude McDavid this year! That's right ... Avs n Bolts in the finals. I just saved you all from wasting time watching the next round!
Bolts over Avs. Pretty much guaranteed at this point. Take out a second and bet the house. I think the fact that no one in Florida gives a rats ass about hockey relieves the bolts from any pressure. It’s the exact opposite for most of the Canadian teams, which is why they always seem to choke and under perform.
I know I said Kings and Northstars but they were big underdogs and I didn’t expect either to get out of the first round. Granted the Alberta teams really tried to choke it away. The Kings were completely spent 1 minute in to game 7. When Doughty got hurt at the end of the season it was over. I was amazed they won more than 1 game.
Quoted from Canuck_pinhead:He may need a new flag for round 3!
Hey man, can't get rid of a winning flag!
Quoted from TheLaw:Hey man, can't get rid of a winning flag!
True... it would be his fault if they went on a skid.

By the looks of that flag it has seen a lot of losing games.
