conspiracy theorists believe that the Pens purposefully threw the game to avoid facing the Flyers in Round 1

*I believe that it was just a Fleury beach ball moment

Are they coming from Philadelphia?

I really highly doubt people with as much pride as pro hockey players would throw a game to avoid playing a hated rival.

And let's not forget that they managed to tie the game in the final minute. How does one throw a game while doing that?

He'll probably get 2-3 years. He's great on the 3rd line, and a great defensive guy. Bergevin spoke very highly of him.

He won't be useful in 2-3 years. He's been great on the third line this year, but the priorities should be Subban and Vanek right now. We won't have much cap space left over to sign Gionta unless Briere is traded.

At 2 years 2.5-3M I don't mind, he's a pretty good depth piece. I agree Subban & Vanek take priority though.

I wouldn't want to pay him more then $3M and I think he's aware that he needs to take a cut.

SHARKS WIN

Playoff time mouhfuckas. In the third period Hertl was back on the top line and Pavs was back to centering the third. Hopefully a sign of what's to come for the playoffs.

And of course BIG DICK PAV$ 41 FUCKING GOALS

Markstrom has proven to be a key acquisition down the stretch. Gillis is rebuilding this team without being GM anymore, bless him.

Was there a point in us tanking tonight? It's not like our draft position can go up.

It could have if Nucks gotten at least 3 pts against EDM/CGY + Carolina loss would have moved them past Canes Leafs and Jets.

Also great to see Nucks shake Smyth's hand at the end.
