Top 5 pick. Arizona and New Jersey tried but they couldn't out tank us.

Im against animal abuse but he deserved some water flicked in his face for that one. 👉💦😿

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

What did Creeper say?

Another note: pool is being filled with new clean water now. Nice and ready for the Flames to jump on in

 

[Fata1moose]

Creeper bullies me in other topics.

 

[Calamari41]

I'm pretty sure Creeper left a dead lizard on my doorstep last month. Present or threat?

Both.

Flames in 5

 

[Clockblockers]

Damn it I'll have to miss game 1; and what the hell is with this 945 EST start time for Game 3.

Assuming they'll be a playoff thread going up shortly?

 

[Livingskeletons]

Weird/crap season for the Kings.

Sutter is probably gone.


Hope Caps win the cup finally, and Sharks/Ducks lose in the first round respectively.

Central teams always get the shaft with start times in the playoffs. Every other game starts at 7/7:30 local time. Central is always like 8:30. Plus it never starts on time. Its fuckin dumb.

 

[Quick]

Yoffs schedule.

Caps/Leafs schedule has a one-day break for each game. Couple of other match-ups get 2-day breaks though.

 

[iLLmAtlc]

You guys join the Sportsnet playoff pool? There's a salary cap of 30 (player values of 4,3,2,1) and it's a points only league. I play it every year. For Canadians, there's a chance to win 5000 if you're lucky enough to essentially win the lottery >_>

Watch that game go to triple-overtime too, just to fuck with me.

Its even worse living on the east coast now. Doesnt start until 9/9:30. Fuck you NHL.

RIP Aces

RIP hockey until I get to watch the Avs get pulled 4th on the 29th

See yall next season

Victor Hedman quietly finished with more points this season than Erik Karlsson.

Just felt like pointing that out.

Karlsson had more P/GP and more at ES.

I actually wouldn't mind Hedman getting the Norris over Burns and Karlsson

I draft him every year in my fantasy league.

My friend ended up winning on tiebreaker. If I'd beaten him in the semifinals it could've been me.

 

[alexthekid]

Apperently it is about the get official that Rödin is moving back home to Sweden in an hour or two.

Have Nucks GAF heard any romours?

Im sitting here stroking myself in the Office of excitement.

Edit: Apperently it is not true

 

[Kave_Man]

Not really an unpopular opinion when the ratings for hockey in the US suck. So it's just more games for people to not watch.

I mean hockey in June is nonsense. it's blasphemy to think of getting rid of that great game 7 magic... but what is that magic except one game to decide it all? March Madness is madness because it's one game, obviously the NFL is an entirely different beast having one game, etc etc. MLB wildcard games, etc.. People can't help but love knowing one game is going to decide who moves on.

But the Stanley Cup is the greatest trophy in sports, and should remain hard as hell to win.

Yes lower the games cause I'm sure the loss of revenue on those home playoff games are what owners want.

Actually shocked you weren't able to figure out a way to get something about golf in there.

Looks like the Canadian media is knob slobbering over the Habs and Leafs and saying "fuck yo couch" to Ottawa. Habs and Leafs alternating nights on CBC.

Obvious answer is obvious. Marvie pointed out that it's money. Of course it's money. I'm sure owners would have the regular season be 100 games and have the playoff series be longer if it means more money for them.

My point is, as a fan who doesn't care about the owners pockets, it's simply fun to discuss something that makes the game more exciting for nonhockey fans. You know, growing the game.

Talk about growing the game.. How much does Joe average care to watch a 7 game series if their team isn't in it? Weren't the playoff ratings terrible last year in Canada?

Ah well.


Golf.

For Meta:

Montreal - 103 points
NYR - 102 points

It took until the last day of the season lol, but Montreal finally "earned" home ice.

He is mad because more games means less time to golf.

Why would they care about someone like that as opposed to someone like me who is going to watch every game as opposed to someone that might watch one game? If joe average cant be bothered to watch a 7 game series when his team isnt in it, who says he's going to watch a 1 game series when his team isnt in it? This whole "growing the game" myth needs to go away. The NHL just isnt going to work in every market and with every sports fan.

Romanuk and Millen aren't going to call the leafs-capitals series. YESSSSSSSSSSS

No need to be that defensive about it. Just thought it was worth pointing out as Hedman has routinely been overlooked as one of the elite defensemen in the league, and it was a pretty impressive feat given how good Karlsson is.

Don't worry, making goalie pads marginally thinner will fix things right up.

Don't tell me what not to get defensive about 😡😡

 

[PillarEN]

Force the goalies to drink a beer each period and make them eat fatty foods before each game

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Michelin man goalies are straight up over the top ridiculous. They also need to start calling penalties.

Just imagine McDavid in the 80s-90s O_O

Dalé back as the Panthers GM? the fuck is up with Florida

Lol Rowe. Be appointed GM, take over coaching duty, do no better, lose coaching job and GM job. Just like he planned.

Rowe is still in the org so I'm not entirely convinced that this ordeal is over. We'll see what the coaching search brings.
