2 weeks? Mike Trout missed like one game for child birth

He has to quarantine for two weeks when he gets back in Toronto.

Well they woke up and took over the game after going down 2-0. Night and day.

I love that there are no nets around the glass so we don't get any of the "is it out?" dilemmas, that's a nice positive I didn't consider about finless games.

For some reason i have always hated seeing 6 players do a synchronized limp wrist gif every time the puck hits a net.

Really? I thought I read somewhere they did 4 tests over 4 days and they can return

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

OMG that Ovi move

 

[Corby78]

Nice effort by Eller to chase down point

 

[kmart]

how is this 3on3 ot count toward playoff stats ? weak call by the nhl to allow that

 

[TRASHCAT]

im sure the tampa fans will bitch about this 8 second powerplay

Same as regular season. Worst case we get a point. Then it’s based on standings after the three games. If there’s a tie in points the team with the best regular season point percentage gets tiebreaker

 

[HTFN]

Vrana could stand to develop a move to build off that five hole snapper because it's in the books now.

 

[Corby78]

3v3 and shootouts shouldn’t count towards playoff stats since it’s not real hockey.

 

[McVechkin]

I really don’t want to see a long 5 on 5 OT in a relatively meaningless game.. but at the same time.. a shootout just leaves bad taste

 

[tycoonheart]

Yuck. Shootout.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Pretty entertaining 3rd period for a game that counts but doesn’t matter

 

[Dr John Carlson]

"Don't care whatsoever about the result. Just want to see how 19/92/13/3 look."

92 - decent
3 - fine
13 - underwhelming
19 - ... let's not talk about it.

Vrana has dekes I would guess the ice is trash

 

[marcel snapshot]

Kuzy - nah

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Kuz you can’t do the twister in a shoot out

 

[SpinningEdge]

Even in shootouts kuzy isn’t shooting lol

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Damn just a loser point

 

[GoCaps2004]

sad, does overtime/shootout loss count for anything?

 

[Corby78]

Loser point oh well. Shootouts are trash and should have no part in any playoffs

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

92 should never see a shootout again. Embarrassing.

 

[hockeykicker]

sad, does overtime/shootout loss count for anything?

yes, they get 1 point

 

[Hivemind]

Whomp. Glad this game is still quasi-meaningless.
