Around the League 19: And Down the Stretch They Come...OK, Who Hit the Pause Button?

[Nikishin Go Boom]

A lot of extra play going on in this game. I get queazy thinking about it because our guys would run away and not defend their teammates.

also wilson continues to be a cheap POS

I feel so dirty even temporarily rooting for the Caps

I’ll go the other way. I’d rather the Flyers win, then come back home emotionally spent with the Canes waiting on them.

I wish our guys stood up for each other like Philly does

We need the Flames to do us a solid tonight.

We need the Flames to do us a solid tonight.

Bad news. They look like us, wearing Flames jerseys.

Tom Wilson doing Tom Wilson things. Shocking.

Jackets up 2-0 in Calgary. Oh well.

The Craps literally had one job!

It's kinda uncanny.

• Playing most of the game in the defensive zone? Check.
• Struggling to connect on even the simplest passes? Check.
• Goals aren't "on" the goalie but he hasn't made a big save, either? Check.
• Only line with any energy is the fourth? Check.
• Any shots they do manage are blocked? Check.
• Best players are mostly invisible, like they'd rather be anywhere else? Check.

I will seriously consider changing my citizenship if the Flames somehow comeback to win this

Well, do you speak french?

You take what you are given.

Mackinnon breaking Getlaf’s ankles should be a contender for gif of the month.

Avs/Ducks very Canes-like. Avs with two breakaways and multiple attempts to win in OT but then the Ducks score with a second left in OT.

2. Hearing that referee Tim Peel will make his return to the NHL on Thursday night in Ottawa. That is a massive comeback from a fractured fibula. He was supposed to be out for the year.

I was very specific in my prayers about whose broken leg I wanted to miraculously heal.

I watch the Avs a lot. It's like seeing a double feature..the similarities to the Canes are so uncanny at times.

If you knew you had this power, would it have been too much to add "in regulation?"

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

Am I having a psychotic-sports break from reality or did the Islanders actually LOSE TO THE SENS IN REGULATION?!

NO excuses for the canes but THIS is what I'm talking about when I say there are relative levels of Yikes in this league and --although it might not feel like it--the Canes are not at the bottom of that pile.

Watching the Rangers highlights.....dayum they’re so much fun to watch. The run they’re on reminds me of ours last year, other than the fact they have a lot more skill than we do.
