Around the NHL - (Playoffs Edition)

[duckaroosky]

Hearing the announcers cream themselves over the preds was nausea inducing (granted the Canucks didn't give a lot of things for them to talk about).

And if I hear one more time about how they didn't get to see U2 in concert I'm gonna scream.

I echo a lot of the sentiments about Vegas. It's not against the rules what they are doing with LTIR so it's fair. However, it's a clear loophole that needs to be corrected. I support the simple rule that you can carry the extra cap but the team iced needs to be cap compliant. It just makes sense and is fair.

All that being said, Stone, Vegas management, and the team doctors are clearly all working together to mislead the NHL on Stone's health status all season. To be playoff ready exactly at the start of the playoffs more than once is clearly not a coincidence but an executed plan. It's a joke that the league isn't investing Vegas doctors and Stone for lying about his health and ability to return to play.

For me, both things can be true. Vegas has the right to use the LTIR rules in the manner they are doing it, but they are also violating league rules about Stone's health.

i don't know what's funnier

that they canceled their trip to see u2 because of how terrible they were playing or that a bunch of 20-30 year olds were actually willing to go see u2 perform

I think the latter. I'll never forgive U2 for the iTunes song incident.

Canucks are screwed if they don’t get demko back. Can easily be a 4-1 series

lol...

The playoff injury flood gates have opened. Carolina just lost Pesce, Florida just lost Bennett. Both big, big losses.

Toronto took the lead and then Lyubushkin almost gave it right back by taking a dumb shot and then allowing JVR behind him for a breakaway.

Fortunately for us we don’t have those problems.

 

[JAHV]

Fortunately for us we don’t have those problems.

Until we sign both this offseason and they both continue to be injured.

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Bs! Yeah!

 

[Arthuros]

moooore suffering. It nourishes me.

 

[Terry Yake]

kempe 2 oilers 0

 

[duckaroosky]

Oilers

They better not waste Rico, Perry and Carrick's time by losing to the kings.

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

I hate the kings but I HATE the oilers

 

[Mr Rogers]

Great save by Talbot but just a crazy pass by Mcdavid. Just so cool.

 

[duckaroosky]

Why don't the oilers just hold Talbot's pads open like Kesler did?

 

[Terry Yake]

they don't have the california refs like we do

 

[Dr Johnny Fever]

Perry won’t show them how to do it without getting caught.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

More like Dall-ASS am I right? Wake up you idiots.

 

[gunnergunther]

Im all about our draft position, so the quicker the oilers get bounced the better.

 

[KelVarnsen]

Is anyone going to play goal in the Kings / Oil series? Both keepers suck.

 

[duxfan1101]

I feel for Dallas. I think there are only 2, maybe 3 teams that can take them down in the west and their reward for the best record in the conference was to play one of them in the 1st round.

EDIT: And we are partially to blame since we beat Vegas in game 82.

The bruins might have the top 2 goalies in the playoffs

But I do think it’s insane that they kept both guys and didn’t use 1 to add depth to the roster

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Marchessault has been terrific so far. If that’s the top-6 forward we end up with July 1, I’m certainly not complaining

IIRC, the Bruins had a framework on a deal to send Ullmark to LA and he wouldn’t waive to go there.
