Someone has to pick up his slack

No. No someone doesn't.

 

[Capella]

jfc, kill these offsides reviews.  kill them with fire

God I hope they wave off a game winning SCF goal with that bull####. 

 

[Capella]

Hey guys how can we make our already non-existent on a national scale sport less exciting and more aggravating? I got it! Less goals due to some ticky tack bull#### rule nobody was asking for!

 

[Capella]

Worst rule in any sport. I hope whoever came up with it gets run over by a zamboni, and then the zamboni backs up and runs over them again. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Did they ever explain why the "infinite plane" of the blue line proposal didn't pass? That seems to make more sense than trying to determine whether a skate blade is a half-inch off the ice.

 

[Limp Ditka]

No. No someone doesn't.

For all we know, he died under and avalanche of cellulite and pubic hair last night and this is in memorium, so show some respect. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

lol, Tkachuk just tried to take Doughty's head off again.  kid is hilarious.  no fear

My god the MacKinnon goal was a thing of beauty-Link

Since March 1, the Wild ranks 30th in the NHL in save percentage (.879), 28th in goals against per game (3.20), 29th in shooting percentage (.071), 24th in penalty killing (76.2 percent), tied for 24th in goals per game (2.33) and 26th on the power play (10.9 percent).

some harsh statistical corrections after 4-months of being unbeatable.  not a 130 point team nor a 3-10-2 team.  but they are the best team in the West when things even out heading into the playoffs in the next two weeks.  that's obvious.  after all they're the number 1 team in conference in expected goals percentage over the full season.  you can't fudge those numbers.

In the beginning of March, I blamed the defense and let Dubnyk slide. I cant say that in the recent past. The last goal from Ovechkin was easily savable. Nothing more than a simply snap shot from the top of the circle. No screen, no deflection.

Can't win with Boudreau.

Ok.

works even better than Bishop

 

[Billy Bats]

Well they won't accomplish much this season but the Flyers did have two players get a Gordie Howe hat trick, in the first period tonight. So there's that. Maybe we'll get a banner.  

 

[E Street Brat]

DeKeyser with 2 goals in the 2ND.

1 for each team.

 

[IC FBGCav]

Pretty much wrote off the kids but they seem like they just love playing.  Go get the 8 seed.

 

[Cjw_55106]

Hopefully the Wild have turned things around after a solid performance tonight. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

that Tampa Boston game April 4th is looking pretty big

 

[Foosball God]

So does that Det/NJ game on 4/9.  Oh wait...

 

[Spin]

Ooof Preds playing with little/no energy the last two games, and no likely to be paired up with Chicago in round 1 instead of Minnesota.

I know, they're totally going to luck out and get to the 2nd round

 

[Spin]

Yup, would much rather play Minnesota instead of Chicago. 

 

[Hawks64]

Wild finishing strong

 

[Capella]

Bolts need to win out and get help. Maybe an 8% chance. 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I'll wave from my seats. 

 

[IC FBGCav]

Kids choked the hog tonight but points in 13 straight was cool, always next year, again.

 

[IC FBGCav]

But I expected a Pens loss, so if they win today, I can have my heart crushed again later.   Happy Happy Joy Joy.

 

[northern exposure]

Oilers with the OT win! 1st place in the Pacific now.

Last time the Oilers made the playoffs, you could only find the NHL on the Outdoor Life Network.

Replying to @Smarqs
lmao. During the same period 51 Edmonton chicks got pregnant by a snow plow.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

DeKeyser with 2 goals in the 2ND.

1 for each team.

Demonstrates his ability as a two-way player IMO. 

 

[IC FBGCav]

Okay, 13 game point streak, and Dallas ends it.  Really, Canes in a nutshell.  Also it was 1-0 game they got two empty.   Just venting sry.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Refereeing hasn't made me this angry in quite some time. 

 

[The_Man]

Caps w nice win at Cbus. Put a big lock on #1 seed. Not to mention another Presidents Trophy banner 

 

[jamny]

Heading to Ottawa next weekend to see the Rangers. Will be sitting at the glass for the first time. Very psyched!

 

[Spin]

Yah, that was awfully officiated yesterday. Preds played hard, Blues were just the better team yesterday. 

Alright Blackhawks, let's do this. Maybe they'll get over the hump this season. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

in for playoff pool

 

[Foosball God]

I'm not going to be able to fall back on any homer 'Roit picks this year.

I'm in as well!

NHL says no to 2018 Winter Olympics.

but we have that horrible world cup to look forward to instead!

hopefully this gets Bettman fired or something when all the players freak out like they are threatening to do.

other than that 3 game stretch they've been fine.  Lambert is stealing my shtick

 

[Dickie Dunn]

If Ovie still goes, what kind of banner do they hang in the Verizon Center?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

have to believe their tv partner NBC isn't too happy about this either.

The owners were against it 

I can't believe the IOC compensated the teams and the players for their participation.

Just run by total morons

they won't be if it ends up creating a work stoppage down the line 

 

[Northern Voice]

may have jumped the gun here. going to be pretty cool to watch both guys develop over time though. great future for USA hockey with those two guys to build around too.

Matthews might be better than everyone not named Connor or Sidney in pretty short time. Goal #39 tonight, matching Crosby's rookie year.
