It’s also only 92 minutes which is pretty short these days, so they can put more ads while keeping their usual gaps.

I love the resiliency of Toronto fans. Did they make it a full period before the boo birds came out?

They were down 3-0 and looked like poo poo after 1 period and are on year 7 of first round exits, what fanbase would you like to claim would still be cheering that outcome?

Hell, a game already had fans throwing poo poo on the ice after game 1 and it wasn’t the SBA crowd, if anything I think the crowd let them off pretty easy considering how much frustration they could have vented.

I have no problem with bunting getting 3 games, the issue is watching everything else they're turning a blind eye to while making a token example to say hey look we're doing stuff to protect players.

Pavs might never play again but it was a legal headshot 10 feet away from the puck.

I’ve had casual fans ask me about the hit and the hard part is not explaining that what Bunting did is bad and should be punished but explaining why the other poo poo they see online/in clips is barely punished at all, but really that’s just society for you

This is very old news.

If you dig into it, turns out every referee has something against Toronto anyway. Or maybe he doesn't seem to have had any problem refereeing the Leafs in the past and will continue to get assigned those games after Keefe gets fired in the summer.

I would say that the difference between hitting someone directly in the head vs hitting someone in the shoulder makes for a pretty clear distinction but, well...

Taking a guess, dude played a 2OT game with a late start and acknowledged being rattled by giving up a pair in the 2nd.

Secondary guess is they know it's going to get spicy and that Oettinger is the most likely nonBinnington goalie (for different reasons) to be down to help Flower check another box on his bucket list.

I kind of dig the boldness of going to a rested MAF instead of riding Gustavsson into the ground.

If only Carolina hadn't been given two double minor power plays for the exact same infractions earlier in the game and handed 6 power plays in general

But the amount of accountability or anything that will come of this obvious game losing no call will be the same amount of power plays the islanders got in this game, zero

He played half the 2017 playoffs as the starter (although yes he was technically the backup).

He then went right back to the finals with Vegas in their 1st season Cinderella run.

Then a Vezina a year or so later.


His ups and downs are pretty crazy, although that said he’s def making the HoF.


All I know is I want him to get his last dream of having a fight in the NHL.

Boston really needs Bergeron back to help defend against the Tkachuk line because that line really looks like it is dominating. Even in Game 1 I thought Boston was kind of lucky to get a win, it could easily be 2-0 FLA.

Half of Boston's players either just had or still have the flu. They've looked worse than at any point this season and the series is somehow still tied, hopefully they all recover soon. On top of that Florida is a good team and one I specifically thought could potentially upset Boston or Carolina despite the bad season they've had. I'm not sure if Bergeron will be back for this series. I think it's still pretty likely that Boston wins this in 5-6 games just through their depth, I don't think they'll risk bringing Bergeron back early unless it's a win or go home situation.
