Penguins due to win another lottery

 

[Boris Zubov]

That OT was an exact copy of the first period. Pens were all over them & then with one decent rush the other way it was over. LOL Pens.

 

[bl02]

Penguins due to win another lottery

Yeah pretty much...and meanwhile in Montreal Despair.

 

[bl02]

Petry is truly a terrific dman. Solid in all zones and once in a while scores a big goal.
MB could have easily gotten a first and very good prospect for him at the TDL

Penguins due to win another lottery

It's inevitable.

 

[aufheben]

Yikes.

 

[bl02]

Yikes.

Gotta have a soft spot at this point for Winnipeg. I hope that is not a slice to his achilles.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Yikes.

Of course Tkachuk was involved. (not saying it was dirty, but he's always around when stuff like this happens)

 

[I Eat Crow]

Penguins due to win another lottery

Don't you wish that evil on us, Bobby Boucher.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Penguins due to win another lottery

That's why I want them to win this series. It seems like it's kismet for the Penguins to win yet another lottery.

 

[Tob]

Yikes.

with a short offseason, this might tank the Jets for 2020-2021 as well.

 

[NYR94]

Man, sad to see what happened to Schiefele. Even in slo-mo it looked like he was in instant pain.

 

[lemonybergamot]

Horrible for the Jets, MS (I can't for the life of me know how to spell his last name) and Laine getting injured. I'd trade a lot to get Matthew Tkachuk. Love how he was pumping his bench up, and I believe that injury was accidental.

"It was intentional. It was a filthy, dirty kick to the back of the leg," Maurice said. "You can't see it on the program feed, but take the blue-line feed and you zoom in. He went after the back of the leg. He could have cut his Achilles. He could have ended the man's career. It's an absolutely filthy, disgusting hit."

Tkachuk said he did not intentionally kick Scheifele.

"Absolutely not," Tkachuk said. "I'm backchecking on him, and it's such an accident. I felt terrible from the result of it. I remember he was turning away. I just went in and my left skate had a little bit of the speed wobbles, and I was moving probably too fast for myself and was going down, and my leg just collided with it, looked like it jammed him up. His body was going one way, but the way I hit him his leg was going one way.

"I feel terrible. He's a top player in the NHL and someone I've come to know the last couple summers training with Gary Roberts. He's such a great guy. Just a top player in the League. It's not good for the game when somebody like that isn't in the game."

I think Scheifele, Tkachuk, Maurice are all in on this conspiracy to drum up drama for the NHL. Bettman's at it again.

 

[Crease]

Hate Tkachuk but don't think it was intentional.

Penguins due to win another lottery

Haha dude, it's so funny how many fanbases feel this way. A lot of my group texts with Blues/Islanders/Devils fans and that was being brought up.

 

[Roo Returns]

They should have played “Boo”s for every time Montreal takes le penalty

I'm down for a DJ Steve Porter "Typical Montreal" remix.

 

[Roo Returns]

For one thing, Pens are no longer in financial trouble, so them being gifted Laf is unlikely, they’d have the same odds as anyone else. For me personally, I’d rather see Laf with Sid for Sid’s final years than Laf in Montreal.

I'd rather see Laf wearing a Rangers jersey and him/Kaako/K'Eandre/Shesterkin be the new Fab Four......

but with a 1/8 chance of that happening, if he ends up in Florida/Peg/Minny/Vancouver its' all good.

 

[Roo Returns]

This Lias Andersson pick is going to bother me for a long time watching Martin Necas abuse us for the next 8 years and now watching Nick Suzuki (whom I wanted at the time) tonight with Montreal.

Draft a god damn goalscorer with a first rounder this offseason. If the Rangers take another two way NCAA forward like Bud Holloway I'm going to lose it. Lots of suspects in the 10 to 16 range where we'll be picking if the Rangers don't win the lottery.

We can only go forward.

That said if the Rangers draft more LHDs with their first two picks my tv might end up out the window. Have some balls: Lundell/Jarvis/Gunler/Amirov cool. I expect Holloway will be a pick.

 

[TheTimTamSlammerMan]

Oh to have a Tkachuk on the Rangers. One can dream.

I posted this yesterday in the GDT, but when you have the opportunity to draft character over actual skill, ya gotta do it

I’m not gonna lie, the fact that the two times this has happened the guys involved were Matt Cooke and Matthew Tkachuk is....well....

I mean, I watched it live, and multiple times on replay, and I didn't see any sort of intent.
