Great. That's prolly a injury

 

[g00n]

that's a major. **** that ****. what a dirty play. eat ****, PATRICE

 

[twabby]

Definitely an accident by Bergeron, but still a minor. Niskanen off probably due to concussion spotter (good thing IMO).

 

[hockeykicker]

now oshie is hurt

Doom.

 

[Fondue]

Did anyone catch that? I think Vrana just got hit as he took that shot-- immediately went back and hit the guy right before the end of the period. I guess he didn't' appreciate it very much.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

So Ovie and Kuz don't even get a point for that awesome play?

 

[Holtbyisms]

NBCSN can talk how he was off balance and play it off all they want but that was a dirty shot.

Vrana has a little bit of a mean streak and I don't think he likes getting hit very much. He got into it last game after a hit with Cody Franson (I believe).

He's had a little bit of an angry streak in Hershey too when he feels "wronged". Not suggesting he's a tough player but he doesn't like being hit or pushed around.

BM talking about under the table deals for Oshie and Alzner to save players in e draft... Interesting

 

[g00n]

Love the attitude from Vrana. Still reminds me of Bondra in some ways. Keeper.

Dude starts potting a few points and the team turns around he might stick around this year.

If only he had Bondra's slapshot.

Wouldn't be surprised. I mean I guess it's semi-risky but I really don't see Alzner wanting to leave. Oshie seems to enjoy playing here but I don't know if I'd go as far with him as I would Alzner in thinking a under the table deal would be very doable.

 

[hockeykicker]

niskanen not back for 2nd

 

[hockeyfan88]

Any word on Oshie?

 

[Hivemind]

The thing is with an "under the table deal," it's not official. That's how it works. That means Vegas gets a few days to negotiate directly with those players. There's very little to stop Vegas from throwing a big deal in the direction of Oshie or Alzner during that period. Even if Oshie or Alzner don't end up signing the deal then, it can give them leverage to drive their price up even further.

Plus if McPhee smells an illegal deal in place with a player he's negotiating with, he'd likely report it.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

niskanen not back for 2nd

At least Oshie is back.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Any word on Oshie?

Being awesome as usual.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Wow that pass from Beaglechuck was a beauty

 

[twabby]

Jay Beagle making things happen. And a Tom Wilson point maybe!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Maybe tortz got them going finally

 

[Hivemind]

Really ugly neutral zone coverage by Boston, but nice plays by Beagle and Winnik to exploit it.

Maybe tortz got them going finally

I eagerly look forward to the day you realize Barry Trotz is the head coach of the Washington Capitals, not John Tortarella.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Dear Hockey Gods, please let us meet the Bruins in the 2nd round.
