Marchand and Bergeron are disgustingly good together.

I know people hate Marchand for a ton of reasons and I get them. But I generally like watching them play every time. They know where the other guy is at all times.

marchands had a weird career trajectory. For like the first 6-7 years of his career he's a good 2-way winger that can play in the top 6 and provide some offense. Suddenly he turns into a top 5, top 3 winger in the game at like age 28 lol. Who coulda seen that coming? He went from 50 pts to 90 pts a season.

Tyler Johnson is doing Tyler Johnson things in the playoffs again

They are going to boat race the Devils.

Doughty is having a hearing today with NHL player safety. Guessing it'll be a fine.

1 game suspension.

That was not a good hit at all by Anderson on CBJ

On the one hand, I like Babcock so I wouldn't mind seeing him win. But on the other hand, can you imagine smugness of Leafs's fans if they win a cup? It'd just be too unbearable. So yeah, go Bs (gross).

Columbus might have just killed themselves again in a series. Caps look like they are going to roll them right out of the building. That is such a dumb penalty to take on a team that has a history of being fragile at this time of year. They came out and were undisciplined and let the Caps find their game.

Hall scores for NJ

first playoff goal and point of his career

 

[TheRatPoisoner]

Huge game from Marchand so far

 

[TheMule93]

Doughty suspended 1 game. I thought it was really weird the commentators were saying it was a clean hit during the game.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Kadri should get tossed and a suspension. That is ********

Doughty suspended 1 game. I thought it was really weird the commentators were saying it was a clean hit during the game.

I thought with him being a star he would get away with it at first. But as you watched the replay a second and third time there was no way he was going to get away with that.

kadri just launched himself at the head of a guy that was already on the ice. Jumped up into the hit too. Game misconduct.

Honestly for me that is two playoff games. That he did it right after boarding him only minutes earlier was totally perplexing.

Kadri has always been a pretty dirty player. He completely lost his mind for a little bit there and should pay dearly.

So it was charging and boarding, game for each.

hope Toronto brings in matt martin next game to make the series even more fun lol. And yeah thats not a good look for kadri, definitely worse than the Doughty hit.

This looks an awful lot like the last time I saw a Mike Babcock team play the Boston Bruins in the post-season.

[TheRatPoisoner]

That's good for at least one game, maybe more

 

[TheMule93]

CBJ has it tied in Washington right now. Winning this would be huge for them.

That they escaped the first was really impressive. It looked like they were going to get run out of the building at the end of the first. Bob has been good since.

Something doesn't look right with Matthews at all in this game either which is a really big deal moving forward.

 

[chances14]

kadri should at minimum get 2 games. that was a clear intent to injure

It was completely absurd. Leafs fans are saying he was upset with Marner getting an elbow right before that. Problem is Kadri recklessly boarded Weingels literally minutes before that, he just got out of the box. He completely lost it.

For me that has to be two games even with a playoff metric. In season I would be thinking 5 at least.
