NHL 2023-2024 Out of Town: Stanley Cup Playoffs - The Atlantic Division Crown runs through Florida

[DominicT]

7-6.....

Classic1980's Western Conference playoff game.

Appropriate that both franchises started in the WHA.

Well technically, these Winnipeg Jets started in Atlanta.

The WHA Jets as of yesterday were in Utah. That may have changed today. Who knows?

Though not to the same extent as the stone contract or kuch but in the spirit of it, the bruins have done this two years in a row (Foligno last year and Forbort this year) so we really cant complain

A bit different when they are guys on the opening day roster IMO. Adding Hanifin, Hertl and Mantha(?) while playing the cap system due to LTIR is going to get the spotlights on this and will ultimately change the system as the Insurance premiums will go up big time knowing the teams are playing games with the docs for the return dates and in the interim not paying salaries while the Insurance companies cover a BS bill. It will change just going to take a while.

Correct.

The old mind is having trouble extrapolating the many moves of the NHL.

Mark Stone

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Yup. Stone just pulled off the Full Kucherov. Returns from extended injury leave and immediately scores a playoff goal.

I’m still wrapping my brain around the fact that Zach Hyman is a 50 goal scorer. He should be giving Connor McDavid at least half of all his future paychecks…

Isles up 3-0, ppphhhfftttttrrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Just when I was about enjoy overtime and forget that other game.

I got hooked into the Dallas - VGK game and thought the Isles game was over. I wasn't expecting 5-3. The Islanders probably had 5 shot attempts in the second half of the game. Playing not to lose burned them.

Yeah, there’s no way the Islanders recover from this loss. Funny thing is that they’ve been MUCH better than Carolina for 4 of the 6 periods they’ve played….

The 'Canes scored the equalizer at 17:45 of the third and the game winner at 17:54, ugh.

 

[Terrier]

VGK holds on.

Is cassidy going to bench his winning goalie like Boston did

If Bruce takes out top seed Dallas while Jim mishandles his goalies leading to another one-and-done, it's going to be a bloodbath on the boards and on the local sports radio

Vegas is like that bad guy wrestler from childhood who always wins in the end. Cassidy is the manager at ringside who distracts the ref while the wrestler pull the 'foreign object' from his trunks (keep your mind out of the gutter).

Hyman has the best job in hockey. Hanging around in the O zone waiting to be fed pucks by arguably the greatest playmaker in the history of the sport. Full credit to him - he gets that role because he converts a lot of those passes into goals and his positioning is top notch. But no doubt Zach is living the good life on the coat-tails of #97.

Lindy Ruff again really.lol

I disagree. I expect the fan base to handle this potential scenario calmly and rationally.

 

[GordonHowe]

The Sabres STILL can't seem to get it right. Given their talent and passionate fan base, I don't know why.

In the interim (20 years plus now), I wish Lindy Ruff well. He's a good coach and a steady hand,

Sabres give Lindy Ruff a 2-year contract to return as head coach

The short-term deal coincides with the two years that Don Granato had left on his contract before he was fired last week after three-plus seasons behind the Sabres' bench.

Lindy Ruff again really.lol

I had TSN on yesterday when they announced the Ruff hire and all four commentators busted out laughing.

If I was a Sabre season ticket holder a Lindy Ruff reunion would be the final straw.

 

[ranold26]

RIP Canucks. OOF.

 

[Babajingo]

Every team i wanted to win last night, lost.

 

[Terrier]

Caps on the board.

 

[Terrier]

1-1.

 

[Bruins4Life136]

Rangers look like a team that wants to go up 2-0.
