I’d give up my left nut for Draisatl

Lindholm was very good.

Draisaitl is somehow still underrated. Usually by people who think he benefits a lot from playing with McDavid. And of course that helps. But he's a phenomenal player in his own right. An all-round talent. 101 playoff points in 61 games even has Connor in the shade.

In terms of forwards, if I could pick anybody to play for my team, I'd have McDavid first, then MacKinnon, then Drai. Matthews is very good too, but his playoff record has to give Draisaitl the edge.

Yeah I am not a fan of this. I'm happy that he's healthy again don't misunderstand me but playing in the NHL again? Nope.

However we know some NHL team will probably take a chance and so will he. :(
I hope that Sweeney doesn't get tempted...

Nucks have 3 straight game 7’s scoring 0 goals so far.

Lindholm not looking much different than Zacha tonight. Certainly not 4-5 million dollars per year better.
THAT is what's going to get him a contract here. He'll fit right in. I hate that kind of (what feels like) apathy and fear.

I would too. YOUR left nut! lol

IMO, the Bruins need to find a way to shake him out of Edmonton. IF they can, if he's available this summer they NEED to find the money (and right return in players of course) for this guy. Make him the highest paid Bruin on his next contract. If Edmonton wants to wait until the TDL, I would attempt to hold onto enough cap (I think it will be definitely NORTH of $10 million). I don't know what the limit is for a player but in his case I would get to the number if possible by a team that needs other pieces.
In a trade, I wouldn't be hesitant to have an open mind on the return.
To me there are only maybe a half dozen guys that I don't include and Mason Lohrei his a guy that would be a deal breaker even though he's not a core player YET.

Don't think I'll watch the remaining games in the playoffs, the refereeing in most of these series has been brutal. It's to the point that you'll be able to predict when penalties are going to happen by the way the game is playing out. I don't even know what is and isnt goalie interference any more.
Neither does the NHLoL.

Dallas is great but has some issues too.

Basically running 5D and Tanev was getting completely abused in that Avs series. Hintz day to day. Oettinger is strong but has ups and downs. They're my pick, but gotta wonder about longevity

I think Dallas is the best overall team left ... should win it all. Edmonton scary offense if they only had a better goalie, but that offense is dangerous. After Dallas New York, followed by Edmonton, then Florida. I just can't support Florida even though they are a good team.

I want to see Edmonton win but I can’t help but feel bad for Vancouver. I don’t think I’ve seen a team with that much bad luck in a post season.
Lol, try living here and having to hear their fanbase whine about how Boston cheated and stole the Canucks' Cup every time you leave the house wearing a Bruins hat or shirt for the past 13 years. That'll cure you of your sympathy real quick haha...

It's too bad, really, as there's a lot to like about the team the Canucks have built. Quinn Hughes in particular is an unreal talent. It's just everything else about the franchise (fans, media, ownership, ect.) has this weird, entitled victim-hood complex that's exhausting to be around.

I love Bucci but he sounded like he was doing the game via walkie talkie, plus there was a camera bleepup at the start of the game, plus I wish they would hire Sophia to do ice-level at some of these games.
You would never see her back at Nesn if that happened. I’m good with Bucci.
