The Wings won? Neat. Howard is back I see.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Ugh.

No it was gross.

 

[Clydefrog]

Ugh.

lol

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Hmm... I haven't seen that helmet. In game or amiibo?

Bought it at a shop

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Lundquist out 2-3 weeks. Uh oh

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Lundquist out 2-3 weeks. Uh oh

I can't really see that being a big stumbling block for them, Raanta has looked really good this season and outplayed Lundqvist for long stretches of it. 3rd string might be more difficult but their backup situation seems pretty close to the penguins and if one of their goaltenders got injured.

 

[Line_HTX]

Ehh... Raanta is the perfect replacement anyway. It was like he's Lundquist's clone.

 

[ElephantShell]

Is it just me or are the Bruins wearing those old school alternate jerseys like every other game?

 

[MetatronM]

Lundquist out 2-3 weeks. Uh oh

Sounds great to me. Get Raanta running things for a while, which makes the team play differently/better in front of him. And we'll get to see if Magnus Hellberg can hack it for a few starts (or someone else like Halverson if Hellberg shits the bed). We've got a ton of back-to-backs coming up, so the backups are probably going to have to start 2 or 3 in this stretch.

And it means Henrik Lundqvist will be plenty rested for the playoffs. The last time Hank was injured around this time of the year, we ended up finishing one period away from going to the Stanley Cup Final.

And the best news of all: you can pretty much officially lock us into that 4 spot in the Metro now.


In other news, Michael Grabner and Rick Nash are expected to return to the lineup tomorrow. Jesper Fast also skated today in a non-contact jersey, so he's getting closer.

 

[Fata1moose]

TIL that Horizon takes place in Colorado. 10/10

What's Zelda?

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

PAP will make his Preds debut today. Ellis also expected to play.

edit: Fiala scratched; meanwhile, the ever-worthless Craig Smith is still in. Lavi please.

 

[Sanjuro]

Stafford!

Great pickup.

 

[calder]

Lolol I told you guys about Stafford. Horseshoe up the ass every 10 games

 

[VendettaRed07]

DREW STAFFORD

Man is a damn hero

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Subban got away with interference big time

 

[Weevilone]

I can't make Blues / Isles tonight. Two plaza seats (13th row) avail if anyone here is interested.. not sure how many locals follow the thread.

PM me if interested.

Edit: Sold in like 10 minutes on Stubhub.. damn I guess I listed too cheap.

If any STL locals would be interested in tickets when I can't go from time to time, drop me a PM. I'll do it at my price (or lower if market value is lower for the game).

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Preds give up the first goal. Shocking.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Johansen!

What's Zelda?

I was trying to figure out which area of the world/US it was taking place in, and found a Reddit thread talking about it. Really cool.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Ugh.

I think there used to be a Leafs win-version of this gif.

 

[Quick]

I think there used to be a Leafs win-version of this gif.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Quick is the best.

 

[Pikma]

Jonathan Quick is the best.

Found the traitor, guys

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Reffing in this game has been all over the place for both sides.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

How about that Mikael Granlund. 62 points in 66 games. Breakout season less go

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Preds up by one.
Five minutes left in the 3rd.

I'm bracing myself for yet another OT loss.

edit: Or not, Arvy with the dagger!

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Preds win!

Thanks for playing, Shorks!

 

[ElephantShell]

Oh man that Bryan Bickell piece on Hockey Night. Emotional.

 

[Quick]

Quick is the best.

Found the traitor, guys

 

[astroturfing]

How about that Mikael Granlund. 62 points in 66 games. Breakout season less go

yeah, glad to see him fulfill his potential.

also, never forget one of the greatest goals of all time.

 

[ElephantShell]

I'm happy that the dozens of Canadian Hurricanes fans get to see their team on Hockey Night.

 

[Yawnier]

Roman Polak showing why he was worth two 2nd rounders

 

[Pestilence11]

That Polak hit. Polak > Marincin

 

[ElephantShell]

That Polak hit. Polak > Marincin

Truly high praise.

 

[ElephantShell]

The Leafs are looking truly like dog shit.

 

[Yawnier]

Laffs look hungover tonight

 

[Quick]

Another Rask burns the Leafs.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Nothing like a nice, soft goal to help set expectations for tonight.

Edit: MARNER!!!

 

[ElephantShell]

MARNER! Great shift by that line.

 

[DopeyFish]

JVR WON A PUCK BATTLE HOLY SHIT

 

[Quick]

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[yyzjohn]

Matthews needs to wake the fuck up.

 

[Chris R]

Avs not going to win this one... even with the early lead.

 

[Yawnier]

Matthews needs to wake the fuck up.

He'll wake up when most of the vets wake up

 

[ElephantShell]

Matthews needs to wake the fuck up.

Take some lessons from the vets.

 

[ElephantShell]

Zaitsev you silly silly man.
