Around the League 29: Which RFA blinks first?

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Feels weird that the Panthers are actually good enough to make for a intriguing game to actually watch.

I'm just so glad that Tallon was there JUST long enough for us to get Trocheck for such a (relatively) meager return. Imagine if Zito came in and Trocheck was still there. They'd be even better than they are right now!

Eetu has a goal today though, so…

Also Forsling has 6 assists through 6.5 games this year (not part of the trade I know but annoying we didn’t have a place for him anyway, he’d look great on PP2).

Again, the real MVPs of the Panthers were all of those former Columbus guys like Zito entering the FO. All of those pieces like Verhaeghe/Forsling/Duclair/Marchment/Bennett are all on them. Huberdeau/Barkov/Ekblad were always good but their team still sucked until those guys came in.

Something great just happened in the Caps game. Kuznetzov got knocked down along the bench at the same time a Red Wings equipment guy was putting a stick out over the boards for a player to grab as a replacement and it smacked Kuznetzov right in the face.

They call a high stick penalty?

Caps lose

I don't think so. I'm sure it's nothing a little nose candy couldn't fix for Kuzy.

 

[tarheelhockey]

That’s a blown 2-0 lead for the Caps. It opens up a chance for us to pass them for the division lead (one point back with 2 games in hand).

Thanks Detroit!

Toronto survived in OT.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Took OT, but Leafs beat the Hawks. Jones didn't first succeed in blowing the game so he tried tried again.

So We'll get an Angry Bruins team.. Thanks Florida

Let's just have former Maple Leaf chokers redemption night. Andersen can get the win and Gardiner can, I dunno, sound the siren or something.

We seem to keep getting teams at a 11 out of 10 on the desperation scale lol (e.g. Canadiens, Toronto)— hopefully we can still manage to beat the Bruins.

We get Chicago after the Bruins, too. Lots of desperation there.

But unlike the Bruins they have Seth Jones...

Careful, jinxes are real.

That's True... I'll go hang out in my bomb shelter... Or at Costco One or the other tomorrow..

This game is wide open.

It really is amazing how much action McDavid creates when he’s on the ice. The Oilers pretty much just kill time waiting for him to run around and do everything for then.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Oilers are sooo fun to watch on offense—cursed—but so fun to watch lol.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

The Oilers are a full blown sitcom. I CAN’T

This makes me think of Bill Simmons and the Patrick Ewing theory.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Dammit Oilers, get it together

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Who knows if he meant to do that, but that was a sick goal by Atkinson. Skate between the legs to his stick in one fluid motion.
