Playoffs are no big deal,

I would love to see the Leafs/Bruins again, because apparently I love pain.

Ugh, not sure what'll happen for the Wild tonight. They pick up at least a point against the Avs and they'll lock in the #2 seed. If they lose they'll need the Blue to not win - who will play harder in that game, Blues for the #2 or VGK to gently caress the Blues over?

First time being able to post in here for like half a decade wassssup.

The Kings have the personnel capable of exposing a hypothetical paper tiger but unless Dustin Brown pests Draisaitl and McDavid to the point of insanity I would think Oilers are the easy faves, especially without Doughty.

Cup winning acceptability ranking. This is a final and definitive list.

1. Florida Panthers - they're fine and seem fun.
2. Washington Capitals - not #1 because of Ovi's Putin love but still mostly fine
3. Tampa Bay Lightning - unfortunately would spark the 'dynasty' debate
4. Pittsburgh Penguins - eh, who cares at this point?
5. Toronto Maple Leafs - definitely the least bad of the Canadian playoff teams to end the Canada cup drought
6. Nashville Predators - they exist that's fine
7. Carolina Hurricanes - not great but not bad. Kinda annoying. Employ DeAngelo.
8. Dallas Stars - they won't win but whatever. It would mean Benn and Seguin winning though.
9. Colorado Avalanche - Kadri will be fun but their ardent anti-pasta stance loses them a lot of points.
10. New York Rangers - seem fun but are actually the bad guys. Kreider in the playoffs is always a hoot.
11. St. Louis Blues - would be a lot higher if not for the idea that Binnington would have multiple cups.
12. Los Angeles Kings - Brown, Doughty and Quick with three rings each. Barf.
13. Boston Bruins - Boston.
14. Minnesota Wild - no no no not them
15. Calgary Flames - it would make a good friend of mine happy, otherwise terrible

That is the end of the list because it is not acceptable under any circumstances for the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup.

I want to put in the LA Kings twice, this second time at around 6-7 because you forgot Kopitar and Kopi getting a third ring would rule.

Having a completely meaningless game tonight gives me a serene feeling.

It's a feeling I'm not going to have until the first pre-season game.

I shall cherish it, as I'm fully expecting my watch to give me multiple 'you aren't moving much but your heart is about to explode' warnings over the next few weeks.

At least Kulikov is back taking shifts, but Foligno won’t be. I doubt Colorado will miss McDermid, but that was a very bad hit and took only the knee and I won’t be surprised unless he doesn’t get games off.

I understand resting the heavy-hitters (offensively speaking) when we've clinched the conference, but what the gently caress is the point of attempting to injure players against a team you aren't playing until the 2nd round, assuming either team makes it? I mean, if you were gonna go out and do that poo poo, shoulda done it last night and tried to slewfoot Roman Josi or something.

I'm not endorsing it, just saying it's dumb now and just makes other teams angry
