the NHL Thread

And then Wilson punked out with an "upper body injury"

My guess is that Caps management didn't want him receiving additional retaliation - hits or otherwise - since it was clear that the Rangers were not going to let it go.

 

[Wolfman21]

Rangers fined 250k for their comments on Parros. Lmao.

So cross checking someone's head into the ice and then grabbing someone by the hair and body slamming them into the ice is worth 5k....but saying you question a man's ability to do their job adequately is worth 250k? NHL has a serious leadership issue, holy fuck

 

[Irishman]

The successful handling of the pandemic last year and the success with the bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton had me changing my tune about ol' Gary, but thankfully the shitshow taking place this year set me right. Fuck the NHL front office.

 

[Irishman]

I'm also about a week late to this, but Turner Sports?

Kenny Albert and Eddie O will be Turner’s #1 crew so, ummm, yeah.

That I'm okay with. Hopefully ABC hires John Forslund and anyone not Pierre.

 

[Irishman]

Too bad Mantha was on the receiving end of that cross check to the face. Wilson deserves it more.

 

[adchester]

Kaprizov gets cheap shotted and then performs a picture perfect single leg takedown, love this guy

 

[Irishman]

McDavid needs 4 points in 4 games. That probably happens. Damn.

 

[kella]

Bofa deez goals were kicked in and we're gonna get different rulings on each aren't we

 

[Irishman]

Watching Sara Bareilles' live stream Hollywood Bowl concert, so I'ma take your word for it.

 

[kella]

Either could have been disallowed, both probably should have been allowed, this is about to be a moot point because the Caps are only not down 4 in the first thanks to Vanacek's technique.

 

[Irishman]

Woof.

 

[goblue96]

 

[silverwheels]

Too bad the Oilers can't stop anyone from scoring.

 

[silverwheels]

100! MCJESUS!

 

[silverwheels]

 

[goblue96]

The defense in the Scotiabank North is pretty shitty.

 

[silverwheels]

You can just leave out the division advertiser. And yes it's ass.

 

[goblue96]

Scotiabank paid good CAD for that sponsorship!

 

[silverwheels]

Oilers aren't doing shit in the playoffs, obviously, but I wanted to laugh at delusional Leaves fans.

 

[goblue96]

Philadelphia Flyers offer free tickets, Gritty gear in push to vaccinate fans on-site before season finale

 

[Irishman]

NOT BUMS

BUT YES, BUMS.

 

[Simo77]

Bart Scott for the playoffs. Probably most excited about the Canadian division since there's so much potential for meltdowns.

 

[silverwheels]

I'm not a gambling man but if I were I'd bet the Oilers shit their pants the hardest.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Are the g-dz going to bless me with one for the thumb in 2021 with the Pissburgh Penguins?

 

[silverwheels]

I hope not. A healthy Colorado will be tough to beat, I think.

 

[Irishman]

I think the Oilers and the Leafs are the most likely upsets.

 

[silverwheels]

Still gonna choke!

 

[Simo77]

I think Leafs and Oilers make it through round 1. Though the internet would be an incredible place if the Leafs bow out in 7 again. Hopefully lots of games 7s. Bart Scott

 

[adchester]

I'll be tuning in for the eventual Leafs schadenfreude

Wild could maaaaybe take out Vegas but Colorado is too good and will probably walk away with the West

 

[Irishman]

I think Vegas wins that division. I think St. Louis will make things tough for Colorado and I think Vegas will have an easier time against Minnesota.

 

[adchester]

I think Vegas wins that division. I think St. Louis will make things tough for Colorado and I think Vegas will have an easier time against Minnesota.

Wild are the only team in the league to have a winning record against Vegas this year taking 5 out of 8. I think Vegas is vastly better overall but Minnesota has played them tough this year compared to getting blown off the ice by Colorado

Understood. I just think come playoff time, the pressure will be different. I just don't think Minnesota has the experience compared to Vegas.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Playoffs are a different beast.

 

[kella]

Dis gon b good

 

[kella]

What the fuck Carlson

 

[kella]

Oh no

 

[Irishman]

Sorry, @kella

 

[Irishman]

Anderson is probably not a terrible option for this situation. I just wonder about his conditioning if he has to play much.

 

[Irishman]

Giggity.

 

[kella]

Nick Ritchie looks like they turned a bad police sketch into a human.

 

[Irishman]

 

[Irishman]

Extra hockey.

 

[adchester]

Vegas-Minnesota scoreless going to the 3rd but its been a great game. PLAYOFF HOCKEY

 

[adchester]

Fucking Fleury playing out of his mind

 

[goblue96]

 

[adchester]
