The Penguins let Crosby try to cure his concussion in a spinny chair designed to make people vomit.

The Ducks have Corey Perry.

The Blues have Brodeur.

The Oilers have Katz.

Nashville has Ribeiro.

The Rangers have Kreider.

Nothing off the top of my head for the Capitals and Sens but I'm sure they've got some controversial skeletons in their closet too.

In short all NHL teams are dirty assholes and should be disbanded immediately for the good of humanity.

What'd you forget Eugene Melnyk exists?

Also Tom Wilson and Oshie are shitheels and so is Ovechkin sometimes. Sorry just revving up the shitposting spin machine.

Kreider hasn't been evil since everyone flipped their poo poo about Emelin tripping him into Price and then the refs started calling everything against him so he stopped playing as physical.

I seem to remember him throwing some dirty hits but I can't recall specific examples so maybe I'm conflating him with Tom Wilson

he had his chance, and if he can't learn the error of his ways from one of the noblest hockey players in the world, Patrice Bergeron, then he deserves to stab himself in the belly with a skate blade before Chara decapitates him with a special stick that's sharp and made out of metal. well I guess that's just a sword. Before Chara decapitates him with a sword.

I don't really care about Kadri and the hit wasn't really worse than a lot of questionable hits but Ovie picking him up and flipping him while on skates owns.

Kadri is good because trolling Ovechkin is funny and any questionable stuff can be hand waved away by Ovechkin's questionable hits over the years

it would not be surprising if they beat the penguins and then the rangers this year so this could be potentially cool for washington?

on the other hand they have to play the penguins and maybe the rangers

I feel like the most crushing option for the Caps would be for them to easily get past the Pens and Rangers, only to lose to the Predators with Filip Forsberg scoring the Cup Winning Goal.
