Around the NHL | PLAYOFF TIME!!!

I don't care who makes it out of the Canes and Habs, I just don't want the Jackets to make it for the lulz.

Tortorella saved 2 abused horses from the glue factory by adopting them?
Anyone watching the CBJ feed? That poor horse looked so ****ed up. I donno... I kinda like Torts... especially with the horses thing and he has 4 dogs.

Seems like a decent human being.

idk - i've seen lots of instances of people using kindness to animals to substitute for kindness towards people. always good to care for animals. but also good to treat humans with respect, which i don't think he does a good job of.

I feel like CBJ would atleast have the potential to push Tampa if they could put it together. At the very least be physical with them. While the Habs will just be a sweep.

Him and his wife do a lot of charity for kids and animals.

I feel like the Habs would give them a run for their money. They have some guys that are playoff tested and could wreak some havoc on their guys, especially for confidence.

But yeah, if we're hoping for an all out war, it's Jackets.

Canes might just sit at center ice playing connect four or some dumb shit.

 

[Turin]

Vegas so good. Could you imagine being a St. Louis, Vancouver or Columbus fan if they go to the finals again?

kids and animals. who doesn't love them?

i do a lot of mentoring with at-risk teens. i don't think it redeems my sins. but different people have different standards for what makes a good person.

idk. i'm not convinced by the Torts act. he may have good elements to his character - but also he has displayed a real attitude towards people that at best can be called anti-social and at worst dehumanizing. i'm not one of those that subscribe to the theory that good actions cancel out bad - they both exist in the world. but i fear i might have ventured off topic.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'm really curious to see how the Seattle expansion draft plays out. Teams handed Vegas a great team, and payed them extra to boot.

Habs have the best chance imo. Mainly because of Price. If he gets hot he can steal a series. Agree they’re a bit battle tested and that is a TOUGH place to play.

They would still prob get smoked, but I could maybe see them pulling off the improbable.

CBJ and Canes get steamrolled. No chance for either team. I think Carolina is pretty good too.

Hope their GM will be Guerin.

Canes get steamrolled? Canes have lost something like five games in 45 days.

Theyre young and haven’t been to the playoffs in forever (longest current drought).

Also got steamrolled tonight by the Lightning.

*steamrolled in the 3rd by the Lightning.
They were leading after 2 periods

I know. They lost 6-3 despite that and even their blog said they were “outclassed”.

Columbus going "all in" isn't looking like a very smart move right about now. If they didn't have Dubinsky and Tortorella, I might even feel bad about it.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Don't think Sid would ever allow the celly stuff like the Canes and Kuz.
He's an old soul who's idol is Steve Yzerman.
He'd never go for or put up with it.

f*** that, I hope in Sid's final year, he goes out with a Cup and then skates around mocking all of the moronic celly's he's had to see from other idiots and then he pulls out a Kovalchuk picture from behind the bench, props it up, and points at it one last time before laughing his ass off and taking a few swigs from the Cup.

The Mic Drop.

Dubinsky had 8:40 TOI tonight.
Guy is comparable to penguins Wilson. Yet he is a concern? Come on.

Dubitard might be a plug for most of his career at this point going forward, but against the Pens, the guy ups the ante with dirty shit. He's still useless, but he's a dangerous useless. Not only to his own team, but to the Pens with doing dirty crap.

@Honour Over Glory
I guess the same threat as Caesar feared from Pompey. 'As long as he can be propped on a horse, he will be a force which opposition will gather'.

Where did I indicate that "he's a concern"? I said I can't feel bad for a team that has that idiot playing for them.

I don't care if he gets 1 minute of ice time per game, he's still a dirtbag and I will always hate any organization that carries him on their roster.

Not to be picky, but if you mention him, by all accounts of definition, you have concern in a manner of speaking.
I hate Duby too. Just saying the guy plays so little and has a pathetic TOI this season. He gets<8min per game.
If he cheap shots... he will get his due... penguins can handle that rag tag CBJ in their current disarray.

It's like you interpret a post how you want, then answer based on what you think it said rather than what it actually said. You're not nitpicking, you're simply misconstruing what I originally said.

To reiterate -- my post literally had zero to do with any sort of concern or commentary on what kind of impact Dubinsky would have on a game. He could literally be a healthy scratch the rest of the season and it wouldn't change my original point. I simply do not like the guy, and thus, have zero empathy for any franchise who employs him.

In your diary. We've all read it man. We have a lot of questions about the Fabio/Crosby thing on a stallion.

Brassard doesn't seem to be doing well in Colorado either. Go figure.
