Every day Boston loses is a good day.

 

[DFAC]

Say what you want about Tom Wilson, guy’s got some skill. That was a nice goal he scored there

 

[M2Beezy]

Unreal

 

[Hemty]

Nic Dowd scoring the GWG.

He's still easily one of the top 10 guys from the 2012 draft, which did lack high end forwards, but still. The top 10 from that draft would be guys like Lindholm, Trouba, Reilly, Lindell, Parayko, Forsberg, etc. with Wilson in the mix.

No player in the NHL up front comes close to replicating his impact. Reeves is tougher, but the guy averages 15 points a season. Wilson's PPG over these past 5 seasons is around 0.6 PPG, so 48/49 points over a full season. Other bigger skilled forwards are not a menacing as Wilson.

The Cats/Bolts series should be fun.

 

[CherryToke]

Benning is probably drafting up a 5x5 contract for Palmieri after that goal (assuming he knows how to read and write)

 

[Fatass]

Not impressed with either the Pens or the Isles.

Plz delete this before Jim sees it.

 

[Breakers]

That trip by sorokin is DIRTY AF

guentzel could have been seriously injured at that speed.

so dirty

 

[Pip]

Great tip by Crosby.

 

[RussianRacket]

GO PANTHERS

 

[Pip]

Jarry does not look good

 

[Hemty]

Yeah, its like any shot can go in. Isles really woke up in the 3rd tho.

 

[CherryToke]

Plz delete this before Jim sees it.

And now he has an OT winner.

 

[Deeds26]

Palmieri with only 2 goals in 17 regular season games after being traded to the Isles, but picks up 2 goals, including the OT winner, to put the Isles up 1-0 in the series.
Its gotta be the fact that he can have a beard again now its playoffs and Uncle Lou doesn't care about shaving anymore?

 

[canuckking1]

Vegas outshooting the wild 20-5 but it's still 0-0. Where have I seen this story before?

 

[Breakers]

Vegas is the best puck supporting team in the league.

they just tilt the ice soooooo much.

every player understands moving to open ice to receive a pass.
Vancouver is a terrible transition team in the neutral zone and should watch a hell of a lot more Vegas tape on repeat.

 

[wonton15]

Kaprizov looks insane. First real game watching him and he controls the puck better than anyone out there.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Bonino looking good.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Someone remind me why Vegas spent all that money on Robin Lehner?

Fleury is playing really, really damn well.

I just don't understand. Fleury is aging like fine wine.

 

[4Twenty]

This is a really high level game. @Breakers with a great post about Vegas above.

I would love to be the team that dictates everything.

Vegas is this good and like Mr C stated they are inefficiently spending in net.

Refs putting whistles away isn’t something I missed. It’s funny the leagues “best” refs are just high level game managers.

 

[Jyrki21]

I'm so confused — after ditching Tallon and having an immediate turnaround thanks to an analytics-minded direction, the Panthers are now cutting loose the two CanucksArmy alumni that have been delivering for them?
