Around the League | Round 1: FIGHT!

[Ace of Hades]

Avs already down by 1 with just three minutes to start the game.

This series isn't going to take long with the way it's going.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Way too many games on to keep track of everything.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Since the Nucks are f***ed.

Go Jets Go.

 

[Bubbles]

Carter Verhaeghe has 5 OT playoff goals in 14 OT games played. That is insane.

He's the Martin Gelinas of this era.

Interesting. I thought he had a free tank pass this year.

Really odd firing. Sharks are not an appealing destination for any of the popular free agent coaches.

 

[supercanuck]

Since the Nucks are f***ed.

Go Jets Go.

Go "Any team but the Oilers" Go

PBP for the Florida/Tampa game calling Forsling vital to the Panthers is hilarious (and f***ing sad) from a Canucks perspective eh

Wasnt he on waivers and every team passed on him?

 

[StreetHawk]

Wasnt he on waivers and every team passed on him?

Yes. And on this board, there was no clamouring to claim him.

It’s way too early to judge this trade. Clandening hasn’t played the 300 NHL games needed to learn how to defend.

 

[I am toxic]

Do you know who was in the Cup final last year?

Forsling.

Do you know who beat him?

Hutton.

When will people learn the value of Canucks 5th round picks? Eff that Lafferty trade, crippled the franchise for another decade.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Go Leafs! Go Oilers! Time to bring the Cup back to Canada!

/s

 

[Flik]

Wasnt he on waivers and every team passed on him?

tbh I have no idea, I was sort of checked out of the minutiae of the day to day for the team and/or former players at that time

I just found it amusing to hear commentary about how vital he is now to the Panthers

 

[DarrenX]

Leafs/Bruins game is pretty good so far.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Joel Edmundson has looked really good nice pick up by Treliving.

 

[dez]

Matthews was LITERALLY tackled and no call, what's the point of watching this shit, this is not hockey.

 

[calnuck]

No love for the Leafs but that’s insane that no penalty was called on the rat there

Matthews was LITERALLY tackled and no call, what's the point of watching this shit, this is not hockey.

It’s f***ing brutal

 

[Jyrki]

Yeah f*** the Leafs and all but the refs are actually f***ing blind right now. How do you not see a guy do a WWE move, then the league's dirtiest player commits at least two obvious penalties and you still don't call shit?

And suddenly they remembered they have whistles... the reffing standard changes wildly from minute to minute.

2011 was way worse and Toronto loved it so I’m smiling everytime I see a Bruin get away with shit.

What the famous quote? Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence. Or something like that.

Honestly I just want to see a fair, competently called game. Just seems like an impossibility at this point.

 

[Luongos Knob]

3 missed penalties in one shift leading up to a bruins goal, sounds familiar. f*** the bruins forever and always

 

[quat]

That head snap when guys get hit in the chest is such a pissy play.

 

[Jyrki]

Also I absolutely hate that the game "heated up" after refs decided to just not call shit. They're losing control and the 3rd could be very ugly.
