The jinx is in full force guys! Melrose just picked us to win the Cup as well as an NHL 18 simulation saying we beat the Oilers 3-2 in game 7 of the SCF. Lord have mercy

Hell has indeed frozen over.

It'll freeze over if we actually win the Cup. I know we have a great team on paper but until Stamkos raises that silver chalice above his head it's all fool's gold. I just simply cannot buy in to the idea that we're as good as everyone says we are. Only a dominant regular season will go a long way to convincing me

On paper yeah think this is a Top 4 team, but have to stay healthy and stay hungry. Some of these guys have not been hungry since 2015 or healthy for that matter.

After all that hatred between Leafs and Jets fans here I'd hate to be a Jets fan after that game. That's gotta hurt.

I'm watching Rangers-Avs. somewhat interesting is that DeAngelo is wearing #77 for NY. His normal #7 is retired there, but he called Phil Esposito over the summer for permission to wear 77. Espo was the last (and probably only) Ranger to have 77, but I thought it was more so from 77 being an odd number, than players honoring Espo and choosing not to wear it. Because really, who else in the league wears 77? Not too many. Today it's probably just 1 or 2 like Hedman & Klefbom. But to tie Heddy in, Hedman wears 77 in connection to Bourque who changed from 7 to 77 when Espo's number was retired in Boston.

Apparently the Rangers struggle against the AVs like Tampa does. Who would have thought. Lol.

Bishop needs to get a new mask... He got Hertl's stick in his eye through it, lost teeth from a shot and now cut his head.

Their D is way beyond Meh. It's pretty horrific. They remind me a lot of us the year before we acquired Stralman to settle things down.
