It's only the biggest game of the entire regular season, what do you expect them to do?

That article is fucking hilarious
Also, seeing Bachman getting mentioned a lot reminded me of how the Stars have been stuck with all those shitty goalies over the years, it's like a never ending nightmare, like driving a car without brakes. Bachman, Smith, Lindback, Lehtonen's current season, and even though I've been praising Enroth a lot lately, his stats are not that much better. No offense but I sometimes think my mom would do a fucking better job at goaltending than those pathetic shitbags who are nothing but a joke at doing what they're supposed to do.

Not just a Rogers decision, this is a NHL decision that team packages are region locked.
Yes it sucks, and it drives me crazy too =/ I have the network, let me watch what is on there!
edit: seeing you new post, nhl.com says the game is on "FS-W,SNW " so it would be region locked, unless things get shifted around. Which is all negated by using hockeystreams, etc etc..

I cannot even watch the game tonight and I ain't even mad, I don't think my heart could take it. I'll turn it on at work tonight periodically though.
yea that is what my cable guide says, but it's possible things did change after all... hopefully!
Here is what I'm seeing on sportsnet.ca:
82 game season has only been around for 20 years or so
I mean it's gotten there incrementally, but just sayin!82 game season has only been around for 20 years or so
Oh for sure, when Plante and Dryden did it there were less games. But then there was also less competition. Either way, its impressive I think.
Funny thing though is that Price could potentially retire with all the Habs' goaltending records......and 0 Cups. Constrast that to Dryden winning 6 Cups in the 8 years of his career.
Meanwhile, NBCSN is still showing Blues/Blackhawks.
Should be a good game but...come on.

He can do it.
Habs are super lucky to have amazing goalies. Plante,Dryden,Roy,Theodore(ehh why not)
Halak,and now Price.
At least it's not another Sabres game
Oh not denying Price and his talent, it's a hell of a record to have with the history of goaltending the Habs have had, just that these sort of cumulative records always seem a bit wonky as opposed to something like Win %.
Heh, fair enough. Not like the NFL though where game shifting between networks is a regular thing.
:lol

Tonight's the end.
At least we will have next year to look forward to. Hopefully Kopi gets that C like he deserves.

Lose Avs lose! You can win the last game, that's fine.

Should have taken Phaneuf before the TDL, man.
The LA Kings lack his leadership and intangibles
You guys have had such a bizarro season that I wouldn't be surprised if you win tonight

This whole season is fucking weird, Boston and Pittsburgh fighting for a playoff spot, San Jose out. Mediocre Winnipeg in, Calgary could be in and then there's Nashville doing really well. I honestly didn't see those things happening, Avs as a bubble team I expected though, bottom 6 was shit and that defense...
I keep thinking Pikma is Pochacco. I have to remind myself that actual Oilers fans have been too ashamed to post here for ages.
Comparing players and teams from those two eras is a strange process, to say the least.
5 other teams compared to 29, of course.

We Are All Flames tonight *Hank Hill shudder*
Especially since we need that round one Sven Baertschi Revengeance
I'm feeling pretty good about the Jets tonight, which means they will almost certainly play badly and lose. Hopefully the Flames dagger the Kings and make it meaningless!
But seriously, Flames win and Jets win and then we can both dress AHL teams on Saturday and no one will mind.

^ truth
it doesn't really pain me though
I dunno if Subban deserves the Norris this year. Karlsson definitely does
Believe it. Subban has been amazing. (Karlsson too, of course)

Gald(?) somebody is because I couldn't be more terrified of facing the Avs tonight. The fact Colorado has nothing to play for, combined with Winnipeg basically needing to win tonight to avoid a potentially do or die match against Calgary on Saturday does not leave me with a good feeling.
That in mind, Please oh please, win tonight Calgary so I don't have a reason to hate you.
It's good to have new blood in the playoffs. Same teams dominating every year isn't good for the game.
I have no particular love for the Jets, but their fanbase deserve it after getting jerked around.
Calgary is my surprise team of the year. Get it done tonight.
Now how do we get Ottawa into the playoffs?

I didn't think it's a bad thing, just feels like a strange season.

Ottawa wins and Boston loses their games tonight and on Saturday. That seems to be the most realistic chance the Sens have, short of the Pens or Wings having an epic meltdown in their last 2 games.
LA just had an off year IMO. How many games was Kopitar 100% healthy?
Pittsburgh is too undisciplined. Yeah, yeah, truculence and all that, but they take too many stupid penalties.
Boston needs a reboot. Rask isn't as good as people thought.
Even if these teams make the playoffs, it's hard to consider them serious contenders this year.

The Kings core members have played a lot of hockey these last three years. Add in the injuries, loss of a few players, and it all adds up to a shit season.
If they miss the playoffs, it will be like old times again!
The 2000s all over again! Yay!
an almost mind-bogglingly bad record in OT/SO games doesn't help either
on the other hand, I'm pretty sure Calgary has an astonishingly good record in those situations
it can make a big difference

Three of my four favorite teams miss the playoffs in the same the year. :/ I don't think this has ever happened. Usually I have the Lakers to rely on.
I think Subban has a much bigger positive influence on his teammates than Karlsson according to fancy stats, but he hasn't had a dominant year, and hasn't been as flashy.
Playing the right way.
Was Baertschi sent back down after that one game? I doubt we'll be seeing him again before next season.

Just sent in my tax money...a kings loss would be consistent with the feeling of having all that cash leave my bank account. /Grumble gubment

Hah! Sanjuro redeemed! He's been shitting on him for years.
Me, personally, I think Boston's defence and strong backcheck make their goalies look better than they really are. If I had to toss Price or Rask in net for Buffalo or EDMONTON (yeah, I guess Toronto too...) I'd easily choose Price.
But not the white way
Markstrom's back to Utica, but Baertschi was simply sitting to get Kenins some work in vs. LA I'm pretty sure.
