It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

A 3-1 series lead? Teams win those over 90% of the time.

Then they have to go back to their homes and continue to live in Florida.

I’m so sick of Tampa winning poo poo. I might hate the Leafs, but if they have to be the ones to knock the Bolts out, so be it.

Seems like the NHL has a very strong incentive here for the Kraken to just headhunt MacKinnon to win the series. It's only a 2 minute minor to intentionally smash the opposing team's leading scorer's head into the boards 40 feet away from the puck.

This sort of thing happens every year. Gourde dropped the gloves and punched Byram in the back of the head, which given his concussion history could end his career if he gets another one soon, Makar responds a minute later by laying a heavy hit on McCann, etc. either the refs will get it under control or it'll get pretty chippy

anyone who has watched any tape would know that avs have been getting incredibly aggressive whenever anyone targets byram's head this year

it was late, puck went out of play but ref didn't blow the whistle, makar probably didn't see that the puck went out of play and mccann very obviously did and didn't prepare for being checked, got hit hard into the boards and took a good amount of time to get back to his feet

initially called a 5 minute interference, reduced to 2 minutes after video review

I wouldn’t call it dirty per se. You 100% expect a bump there in that situation. But it was definitely roughing.


fermun posted:

You can’t really do anything with that info though. The refs are apparently being told to hedge because you can review majors, but not minors. So they just go with the major. It’s really dumb.

Yanni being a poo poo-stirrer and trying to get Byram to fight him and what Makar did are not remotely similar.

I like sharing and ice cream and animals.
I saw Gio flutter in that shot and I thought "what a stupid waste of the last possession of your powerplay" and then it was in the back of the net.

Incredible redirection by Kerfoot.

This stupid team is making me believe again and I hate it.

Every year they play well and then choke so this year I wasn't going to be fooled when they looked good. But instead they're stinking up the whole arena and still winning, and I'm dumb enough to think that's why this year will be different.

Yeah the TBS broadcast these playoffs has been atrocious but there's one replay they briefly showed that made it pretty clear this is more or less what happened.

The puck was headed to the corner. McCann saw it hit the net and stop and he eased up. Makar didn't and finished his check on a then defenseless player.

the refs not calling it, calling it a major to appease the crowd, then pretending to glance at the tablet so they could make it a minor was pretty par for the course

Yeah, Gourde's is much worse. Sorry I don't like people punching someone in the back of the head as much as you do, Todd.

Here is the play. The puck went up and out of play, not "into the corner". The hit is like 10 years later. https://twitter.com/DavyJonesLR/status/1650691707791613952?s=20
