Tabarnak I missed the whole game. Sounds like a barn burner.

42 shots for and not against?? Wooooow I am so used to 40+ shots against. Habs you are so shit its unbelievable.

 

[PillarEN]

Datsyuk. Deserved. Game.

 

[zroid]

I just googled the Lithuanian goalie the leafs are after and oh my....

He's also a male model lmao

 

[Red_Man]

Sens up 4 points with a game in hand. The tank continues.

Contract wise essentially the same roster is locked in for next year, and Therrien is definitely staying, and with Price only two more season away from a monster payday, this summer is pretty huge for Bergevin.

What are you talking about? How is the roster locked in? How do you know Therrien is definitely staying?

Oh, right, you're the guy who said Galchenyuk just isn't good while he's sitting on 26 goals.

Please stop talking about the Habs, because you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[DrForester]

You suck, Panthers...

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Unbelievable, second choke in about a week. Yeah first two were refwings but fuck it was 3-1. Left two easy points on the table.

 

[MultiJhonny]

Very disappointed in you Cats

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

So....The SNES have more points than that Habs....wow....

 

[megachao24]

Patrick Eaves scores for the Dallas Stars.

 

[zroid]

fun thing:

the Marlies lost today and then clinched their playoff spot

The Leafs won today and then were eliminated from the playoffs

What are you talking about? How is the roster locked in? How do you know Therrien is definitely staying?

Lol. The vast majority of your roster is still on contract for next year, meaning trades are the only way to change things up as I highly doubt any of the guys remaining are worth buying out (any worthwhile are just bottom 6 anyways).

I think Therrien is staying because there isn't anyone who sticks out as an obvious replacement right now, and if they need to fire him they'll do it midseason anyways as it'll be a better method to critique the roster.

Hence why I said this summer will be big for Bergevin, as if he's going to make major changes to this roster solely by trades (or the 1 or 2 top 6 guys he has the money to sign, though there's mostly wingers and the Habs don't need wingers) he'll have to pull some pretty fancy moves.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

I'm only catching up on the other games now. Habs let THREE SHORTHANDED GOALS IN?!

I say cot DAYUM!

Still not as bad as that nightmare game the Leafs had against the Isle

 

[megachao24]

Islanders pull their goalie for the extra attacker with four minutes left in the game.

 

[megachao24]

Hemsky hits an empty net goal for the Stars.

 

[Pikma]

Russell blocks shots like there's no fucking tomorrow, such a deeply complex defensive strategy.

Really solid game, even Lehtonen was alright.

 

[MetatronM]

Great job, Stars. You're allllright.

 

[megachao24]

Stars somehow won.

Kari Lehtonen with a shutout.

LOL Islanders.

Went to check out the drop-in shinny hockey game and was told I needed full equipment.

Shinny hockey is done after next week until September.

I saw some of the guys playing and they would've probably destroyed me. Basically, they're all bunch of stoner-types and some older guys. I stick out like a sore thumb being a racial minority. lol

TSN690 caller: "Pacioretty is not a Captain, he's a hockey player"

 

[User 479360]

Missed the game. Wish they would've lost, but at least it'll be a confidence building win for the kids.

Beautiful goal by Michalek, and great shot by Nylander. Still need to see Carrick's, but I'm glad he's doing well.

Youre Jamaican?

I'm a dog in a cat's world...

 

[Socreges]

Go Blues
Go Yotes

Promising day for the tank

 

[Red_Man]

Lol. The vast majority of your roster is still on contract for next year, meaning trades are the only way to change things up as I highly doubt any of the guys remaining are worth buying out (any worthwhile are just bottom 6 anyways).

So? That means the roster is locked in? Almost every contract on the roster is moveable aside from Desharnais, and it's pretty obvious there will be some big changes by the time September comes around. The roster is far from "locked in".

I think Therrien is staying because there isn't anyone who sticks out as an obvious replacement right now, and if they need to fire him they'll do it midseason anyways as it'll be a better method to critique the roster.

Crawford & Boucher are both available and that's just at this moment, not to mention that Bergevin said himself that there would be no changes to the coaching staff until the season was over, but I'm sure you know more than he does.

Hence why I said this summer will be big for Bergevin, as if he's going to make major changes to this roster solely by trades (or the 1 or 2 top 6 guys he has the money to sign, though there's mostly wingers and the Habs don't need wingers)

Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. The biggest need this team has had is a #1 and legitimate scoring wingers. Galchenyuk is ready for that #1 C spot and Bergevin will be going out to get those wingers this off season.

TSN690 caller: "Pacioretty is not a Captain, he's a hockey player"

Did you stay for the That caller that was joking saying he put a curse on the Habs for Matthews

:lol

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Youre Jamaican?

I've met him and he's definitely a black cat like kave_man

 

[MetatronM]

Pretty wild stat: today was Henrik Lundqvist's first career regulation loss in a game in which he made 40+ saves. He is now 9-1-7 in such games in his career.

And now consider that he only played 49 minutes.

 

[Smiley90]

I've met him and he's definitely a black cat like kave_man

I've met him and wasnt surprised he didnt steal my wallet, unlike Kave

Spoiler

Also Blues leading in shots with 37 (!!!!) - 14 after just two periods.


TWO PERIODS

MATTHEEEEWS

 

[Smiley90]

I just realized

If we dont get any points tonight we drop to 4th overall pick


MATTHEEEEWS

we have by far the least ROW after Toronto which is great so we win the tiebreaker against flames&bjs (and even Oilers just one point ahead/behind in 3rd place)

 

[Line_HTX]

Youre Jamaican?

I thought he said he was Asian.

 

[zroid]

Miller giving a valiant effort to stop the tank

 

[KingBroly]

If the Capitals win today, they clinch the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference

I'm just as surprised as you.

 

[Smiley90]

The playoff race in the West couldn't be more boring

The top 3 seeds in the Pacific have been decided for a long time

one wild card spot is already given

the only thing that's left open is Colorado vs Wild for the last spot

lol

west tank too strong

5th. BJs are behind. And no we aren't catching the Oilers.
Edit - whoops, 4th, you were right

 

[iLLmAtlc]

speaking of which man i sure hope rogers broadcasts that wild vs avs game on march 26. that should have some playoff intensity

 

[calder]

Standings are deceptive at the tanking bottom because the fucking oilers have managed to lose so many games already. Unless the Leafs start really sucking I think the oil have 30th. :|

Oilers only have 8 games left too

and on that topic I doubt they reach 70-71 points. Teams that already have 66-70 points at the moment probably won't catch them.

 

[Smiley90]

All hail 4th

It's really about the lowest possible, cant outtank Oilers and Leafs...

 

[MultiJhonny]

Flyera why...

 

[Clydefrog]

holy fuck, playoffs are real

 

[Unhandled Exception]

And when Matthews goes to Edmonton everyone can congratulate him on being drafted and on his retirement in the same sentence.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Double post to get that nightmare off my screen

 

[Clydefrog]

 

[Smiley90]

MOTHERFUCKING KEVIN SPACEYYY with the standing ovation :lol

 

[TUSR]

thats some popgaf gif shit right there

 

[Unhandled Exception]

It's like a Quick tantrum

 

[Marvie_3]

I thought he said he was Asian.

Quick says a lot of things

 

[Smiley90]

Quick's from West Victoria, born and raised

 

[Line_HTX]

That horrific gif needs to GTFO.

 

[User 479360]

The Leafs are going to win their way out of last, aren't they?
