a team with players that are actually likable
Dreger was talking about the Prust situation on Sportscentre earlier. He mentions that the Habs might ask Prust to apologize to avoid fines and that the NHL isn't fond of having their officiating team questioned.
Then immediately says that "every official might not appreciate his comments as they look to stay alive in the playoffs." lol

They didn't have a reason to make it a Kings signage.
That's So Jay Feaster.
Nothing new there. Nobody likes us - we don't care.
The MTL Refs era is over.

Clyde saw an Orange County bus supporting an Orange County team in Orange County. Where he lives.

City Bus could mean anything. It could even mean a City Bus. In the city where he lives. Which is in OC. How did something not have an LA Kings logo on it for a change? What is this madness?

I'm personally surprised that The City of Newport Beach Transportation Department didn't decide to throw their hat in with the Wild.

I'd be more scared of Joel Ward's Fat Ass and Ovi's Manifesto Power Shot.
Caps are scary
Damn, that's a cold-ass Holtby.

I literally just read this headline.
I think it sucks, but what are you gonna do? Not play him? He's was on the top line last game. He's obviously not leaving the majors, and if he had been healthy sooner then this would have been a headline months ago I suspect.

I would dress him. Fuck it. Flames still have a chance.
Not everybody loses games on purpose for mild "front office" strategic advantages.
I don't think the ELC thing matters much honestly. It just means he gets paid a year sooner, which has some cap implications presumably in a couple of seasons but is Calgary going to be up against the cap anyway?
No one ever lets their top young talent make it to FA status anymore anyway. He'd be signed to a bridge or extended long term regardless, this just makes it happen a bit sooner. Worth it for the Flames imo

I remember Anaheim offering to sign Schultz and play him immediately to burn a year off his ELC.
Instead, he ignored Scott Niedermayer's phone calls and bet on Edmonton for his pursuit of championship greatness.

It's going to take years to rebuild
Apologizing now won't change anything. Kerry Fraser has already admitted that the Habs and a number of their players in particular are targeted by refs. If anything, I'd like Bergevin to step up, say something and take the fine. If the NHL doesn't want their officiating questioned, then maybe they should establish a core ref group that isn't a joke. It's not just this series, all playoffs the reffing has been laughable.
i'm gonna be sick... don't remind me.
I just find it funny that Dreger brought up that the league doesn't like the integrity of their officiating questioned publicly, then immediately makes a hint that the refs officiating the Habs might not look too fondly of them - they're not supposed to, nor should they look fondly at the opponent. They're supposed to be unbiased and fair. Human error happens, but that shouldn't include bias.
If Prust thinks the reffing is dirty, this is a good way to bring it up. But probably at some cost to him professionally within the league. He could've filed a complaint with the league, but I wonder how much good that would really do. At least he's gotten everyone looking harder at officiating integrity now. And it isn't even the first time this season officiating has been brought into question.
Source please.

Don't worry, once we draft Dumba then everything will be OK!

Someone said the old Manitoba Moose logo looked like Getzlaf.
Prust will get called for every borderline penalty for the rest of his career now, let's just hope it doesn't extend to the rest of the players.
Habs need to keep their composure anyway, they always get blown out when they're frustrated. The two day break is a blessing at this point, hopefully they're calm by Wednesday.
Although a sweep may put Therrien closer to the guillotine...

There's a reason he gets nominated for the Mark Messier trophy.
The best news after that game last night is that it's socially acceptable to drink in the office today! Woo! We'll be whipping up some kick ass margaritas at lunch time today.
Rangers will also be practicing at 1 today, so it'll be interesting to see if Shep is actually injured or if he just happened to not play anymore for no particular reason after taking that boarding from Wilson.

Coincidentally and apropos of nothing, it's also my birthday, so that works out great.

I was really pulling for the rangers last night but that capitals goal had me like whoa
The Habs are my Favorite team but I predicted the Bolts in 4 games.
The Habs attack is such a disaster, they are in the obligation to play the trap. This is why they had a successful season. But it didn't work against the lightning for the whole season. Unless Therrien dump the trap for another play style we MIGHT have a chance but we all know thats not gonna happen.

#PeskyHabs.
We've been in worse situations. I won't be mad if Tampa wins.
But there's no fucking way Tampa makes it to the SCF.
Rangers are the team of destiny. Maybe.

Team of destiny doesn't usually have its top line right winger KO'd by his own captain or have whatever the fuck Game 1 was happen.
