Watching Kucherov without point and boy is he lazy and stupid, Panarin is way better

Are you talking about 123 point Kucherov or someone else, Ed?

If the 19 year old dmen are cised for the new meta, you might as well embrace it.

I had to ask my kids to explain this to me in English.

that makes sense not at all.

I know you are a fan of Mintyukov, came across this, had a sweet goal last night and shut down Kucherov’s line.

The Pens won three cups in the last 15 years. Sympathy factor: zero.

And that still won't help them from going bankrupt

The Vancouver Canucks will clinch a playoff spot tonight if they get 2 points against LA and the Blue lose to Vegas in any fashion OR if STL loses in regulation and the Canucks get one point.

I want the Rangers to be the first team to get 100 points and clinch a playoff spot. GO KINGS GO!

So the league has no issue with the Lee kneeing last night?

I don't either. Let them settle the score on the ice next time.

Both he and Nemec (unfortunately) are going to be great defenders in this league.

Saw this on the history of hockey board, so it's old news, but I never knew the Rangers were interested in Nieuwendyk back in 95-96 before he was traded to Dallas. Rangers offered Ferraro and Cloutier. Neil Smith ended up trading Ferraro 3 months later in the big deal with the Kings.

Buch just missed a penalty shot in OT.

They lost.

Jim Montgomery calls out Bruins, calls for bag skate during sluggish practice

A slow start to Monday's practice prompted Jim Montgomery to order a bag skate and call out his team at Warrior Ice Arena.

In the NFL people complain that that shit is not treating players as men, but here it's different.

Low key, other than our rivals struggling nothing brings me more happiness than the scumbag Georgiev being the #1 weakness in Colorado.

 

[NYR94]

Could be an interesting read for those with an Athletic subscription. Columbus has been a sad franchise for most of its history.

Any word on when the schedule for Round 1 will be released? I never remember how far in advance it comes out. All we know at this point is that the playoffs start on April 22, right?

They moved the start to April 20th, Turner was advertising it during March Madness.

Nashville closes to 4-3 against Vegas with about 8 minutes left and Cassidy challenges the goal and it's one of the dumbest challenges I've ever seen and Nashville goes on the power play and ties it.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nashville is an electric factory.

Nashville is an electric factory.

This run they've been on is genuinely insane, but I can't help but wonder if they're peaking way too early and will run out of steam by the end of next month. Happy for McDonagh though because that dude is a f***ing gamer

Peaking too early is a myth. There have been plenty of teams that have gone on hot runs headed into the playoffs who end up having successful runs or end up winning the whole thing.

Not points in 18 straight hot but if you're playing well, you're playing well. Sometimes it carries over as you've already been in playoff mode for a while where as you're playing an opponent who has turn on the switch after coasting in.

If I were the Canucks I'd dread the prospect of facing this team.

I'm not disagreeing with that, but they still do have ten games to go. We've seen before how fast momentum can shift for teams and derail things. That's all I'm saying.

The greater-than-the-sum-of-their-parts vibe is reminiscent of Vegas' inaugural year. Their guys just find ways to get it done
