Sure it does. Nothing like Montreal's, though
Point being he's safe in Edmonton. But more likely the public nature of the last incident set him on the right path...

Its honestly quite shit and about on par with Calgary/Edmonton.
To think Fulton became Foggy Nelson.

Two articles from American journalists, giving the Leafs a lot of credit for playing competitively against the Capitals:

Pierre Lebrun is Canadian, and not only is he ESPN's hockey guy, he's also one of the longtime TSN insiders.
You should turn in your hockey cred with that goof.

The Washington Post still believes:

They probably thought game 2 went to a shootout, which would account for a Caps win.
Why in the holy hell did the NHL schedule Sens-Bruins with Leafs-Caps?
I would much rather the Sens schedule clash with the Habs, Habs-Rags has been boring as all fuck. Leafs-Caps is some entertaining shit(I've gained a lot of respect for the Leafs the past few days).

Yeah same it's the only series that I have found interesting enough to watch other than my teams.
Anyone else finding this year's first round a bore fest? Maybe it's missing the usual flyers vs pens matchup.
Y'all are deluded as Leafs fans if you've found Habs/Rags boring. And no, the first round hasn't been a borefest. The first (and to an extent, second) round is always the most exciting part of the whole season. Multiple playoff games every day. Unlike when you get the the CF and SCF where it's a slogfest.
Sorry Solo, Habs are a boring team, Rangers are a boring team and that makes for an incredibly boring series to someone not invested in either team.

I expected Oilers/Sharks to be way, way better than it turned out to be.
First round is always the best round but this year it ain't, not enough salt and not enough entertainment. The Habs n rags series is boring shit. It needs a Kreider hit on Price to make it interesting.
I dunno. I think Game 1 was pretty entertaining. And Game 2 was pretty fucking thrilling. I wouldn't take anyone seriously who found Game 2 boring. Last night I could see being boring to non-fans as it wasn't super competitive and was pretty one-sided though. Fair enough.
I think the fireworks you're craving are coming though. They pretty much have to unless NY is just planning to roll over and die (which maybe they are, I dunno).
And yes, Leafs/Caps has been pretty entertaining so far.

You wash your goddamn mouth with anti-bacterial soap.
Foggy and the rest of BJs-GAF (myself included) are good people.

This better not be a rush for Zaitsev to get back in.

A concussion isn't a sore shoulder. Pretty sure it's the only injury you can't rush a player to get back in.
I could spoil this for you if you want.
Rangers will come out with their best effort tomorrow night, Meta. The Kreider missile may even hit. They know it's over if they lose so I expect they'll step up and the series will head back to Montreal locked at 2-2.
Poor fucking Hank though. Dude has stood on his head for 3 games and gotten absolutely NO help.

just play with the full facemask.
I couldnt believe the HNIC crew, to a man, applauding the refs for "getting it right". Sickening. Maclean said he'd never blow the whistle unless it was a serious injury. Uhhhh I love ya Ronnie Mac, but you're a Don Cherry level of dumbass if you don't consider that a serious injury.

Just cut it open to drain and get back in there, you quitter.

Goldberg was my favorite only because his character is a Flyers fan.
Ooof. Sorry Foggy
I wonder if Ron is going to say anything about it now. He was wrong and looks like a real dope now. He'll probably just mention the injury and pretend he didn't talk about it not being serious enough to stop play.
It's not about location. Kassian is like Radulov. He just needed to grow the fuck up. Some guys just take longer to mature and start taking their lives seriously.
I'm not surprised the series is defensive. Oilers grind out games and just let McD be the difference. If they shut down Connor then it's going to be low scoring and dependent on PK and powerplays.

Other than the goal, what does it matter if the play wasn't called dead? I get tending to an injury, I don't want to sound heartless, but The injury already happened. Did they call him out for not wearing a face cage? He came back in the game wearing a damn face shield. He should've wore it before!!
Edit : mentioned before as another example, anytime a helmet comes off any player the play should be called dead. Imagine the firestorm of a player getting seriously injured because he was skating around with no helmet and the play kept going.
