Playoffs getting closer. I think a healthy Vegas is the only team that can push Dallas and Colorado out West. Winnipeg doesn't have the offense, Vancouver doesn't have the experience, and everyone else lacks the overall depth of skill down the lineup. Edmonton is the betting favorite or second (again) for some dumb reason. Vegas is going to wipe the floor with them if Hertl and Stone are healthy. We've learned by now that McDavid and Draisaitl (and Hyman, I guess) can't carry them all the way, and management has done such a piss poor job of supporting them.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Stick a fork in the Flyers

 

[goblue96]

Stick a fork in the Rags and Crapitals too.

 

[silverwheels]

That was the first time the Oilers beat Colorado in regulation in 5 years LMAO. Thanks Chiarelli and Holland. Merry Clinchmas ya filthy animal.

 

[silverwheels]

[Rutgers Mike]

Wild game in PISSBURGH right now as the Pens try to sneak in to the playoffs and Tampa pushes for third in the Atlantic.

Referee Steve Kozari taken off on a stretcher after a freak collision at mid-ice with Haydn Fleury (TB). Looked like he was out cold for a moment. Scary.

Ouch

 

[Irishman]

Yeah, it doesn't seem like much, but when you don't see it coming, it's brutal.

The back of his head bouncing off the ice was legit. The frozen arms right after too...

 

[silverwheels]

Battle of Alberta is never boring, even when the Flames stink.

Also that ice looked like shit. Hurry up and build ur new arena Calgary.

BUMS

 

[Rutgers Mike]

It’s My fault too. Shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up.

 

[CJ_24]

Not BUM

 

[silverwheels]

Isles now have third in the Metro with 85 points, two points ahead of the trio of Washington, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia, with the Flyers having played one more game than the other three. Detroit currently has the second wildcard spot with 84 points. Gonna be a FUN finish for those last two playoff berths.

 

[goblue96]

Define FUN

 

[silverwheels]

FUN for a neutral. Obviously stressful for fans of the teams involved, haha

 

[silverwheels]

Also this Dallas-Colorado second round is finna be litty fam no cap on god fr fr

 

[Irishman]

DALLAS GOOD. ELON BAD.

 

[silverwheels]

Dallas is scary good.

 

[Irishman]

Those power play goals were filthy.

 

[Irishman]

Georgiev....

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Someone stole my razor blade Oreos.

[Irishman]

Sorry, western conference. It's over.

Edmonton's goaltending is holding them back, who knew

 

[goblue96]

If the BUMS can't beat Montreal, they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

 

[CJ_24]

Edmonton's goaltending is holding them back, who knew

EdBUMton, BUMsota, and Pittsburgh with the three worst differentials between actual points and would-be points with average goaltending

 

[CJ_24]

If the BUMS can't beat Montreal, they don't deserve to make the playoffs.

9 goals? BUMS

 

[CJ_24]

2 minute minor on Kaprizov lesss than a minute into the game? The FIX is IN (it was a good call, actually)

 

[Irishman]

Here's a riddle. What is 6'8", and not ready for the NHL?

Instead of watching the game, I changed out an old and ugly bathroom faucet fixture. I determined that I have to probably replace the shutoff valves eventually, but I'm still going to call that a win.

The people announcing this game for ESPN (Buccigross (??) and some lady) are terrible

 

[Irishman]

Buccigross has been a terrible play by play guy since forever. I don't get it. Put him in the studio and get Levy in there.

Get anybody in there. Heck, Leah Hextall is the “sideline” reporter for the game. She’s a helluva lot better than Bucci.

 

[goblue96]

Can we convince the BUMS to let @Rutgers Mike , @Irishman and I call a game?

I assume this in regard to The Athletic article. After reading it, I wanted to go play in traffic.

Not enough FCC violations
