Malcolm is a goalie, Jordan is an offensive defenseman who doesn't fight and the next oldest Subban brother is like, 6. Probably meant the 6 year old. Chippy little bastard.

He would be such a low cap hit because of 1980's buying power and current inflation. We could have Sid ride him like a noble steed and it would make him twice as fast. Pfft that was a different era Gretzky today would be like a poor man's Dale Weise

Not happy with the start of the second period or the final score last night, but if the Caps can keep at it like they did after the second Pens goal I think they still have a good shot at this.

That's if they don't succumb to the pressure and misery of their present situation. The whole series could be an extended version of this play and they still might lose. https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/857780976180748288

Why do I get the feeling all series will be 40+ shots on Hank a night, and if we're lucky, one or two non-fluke goals.

I have a feeling Ottawa is going to massively tighten up next game and we'll be back to games with sub 30 sog I like the Sens players a lot. Karlsson is a joy to watch, and Hoffman owns. But god dammit do I hate Guy Boucher hockey. He can turn games into an absolute hideous slog.

The one thing I'll say about Boucher is that he is a very good coach. His boring lovely hockey is absolutely what this team should be playing given their talent level (outside of EK and the top 3 forwards they don't have any real skill players). As long as the rules favour guys playing trap hockey I can't blame the guy who coaches the way that allows them to win. As an owner though I think Melnyk is making a huge mistake. Boucher style hockey is costing him money because their games are loving boring. They didn't even sell out a second round playoff game. That is insane in a Canadian market.

AV posted:We felt on their game-winning goal it should have been icing,. When we look at it, and look at the angles we get, I think it should have been icing. But at the end of the game you gotta play and you gotta do more than we did tonight to win. He's not wrong (43 shots, egad) but you could paper your walls with Melnyk's responses if that had happened to the Sens.

that game made me miss letang a lot because the penguins spent huge stretches of the second and third periods in their own zone chipping the puck up the boards and hoping for the best. having a defenseman who could actually skate the puck out of danger and make a breakout pass could have been a game changer

The Pens probably shouldn't rely on turtling for an entire half of a game though. Caps are too good to give them that many chances.

I saw the end of the first period and then I had stream issues and the game came back on with like 18:20 left in the 2nd and it was 2-0 and I was upset at missing it. Still a pretty cool game. Home ice is nice I guess but probably doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things

I remember Jonas Holøs said he went back to play in Europe because he'd make as much playing in the AHL as he'd do on working a regular job back home. Patrick Thoresen made 2,5 million playing for SKA after taxes. I guess some of the AHL superstars get paid, but they'd get paid more in Europe.

I think it's only the KHL that has had payment issues. German or Swiss leagues are probably pretty sweet gigs plus way less travel.
