gently caress the Knights, marry the Ducks, kill the Kings

the Kraken were kind of fun to see in person at least. maybe not if you hate Nirvana though, they play a snippet of Smells Like Teen Spirit when they score

It's Lithium, not Smells Like Teen Spirit. I'm glad others caught this too.

No one should come to Seattle, it rains all the time, but the hockey is bad. (Except the WHL where Everett is totally getting that exceptional prospect kid next year.)

Next year the Flyers should hire like a Nepalese sherpa or someone who has likely never witnessed hockey ever in their life and have them coach the power play because they're guaranteed to do a better job than Rocky Thompson

Hey this is a silly question but when did they stop checking and hitting in the NHL. I haven't watched a game since the owners broke the union back in 2004-05 lockout. I guess that's 20 years huh. Seems like things have changed

My favourite thing about Murray doing a conditioning stint is journalists acting like he could actually play, ignoring that he also got healthy during the playoffs last year and Keefe refused to play him because, you know, he hadnt played any NHL games in forever and also sucks.

Even if he's physically capable, if the Leafs have to resort to playing their 4th goalie then it doesn't matter because all of Sammy/Woll/Jones have poo poo the bed catastrophically and/or are also dead so the series is already over.

At this point it seems like more of a favour to him to get a bit of practice time and maybe show teams he's healthy enough to toss a minimum contact at next year as like a third goalie you that might bounce around a couple teams on waivers as people get hurt.

Started shortly after the lockout as rules were changed to allow for more skating and making the big, slow dmen that existed only to crush forwards who dared enter their zone obsolete as they just became pilons that couldn't reach people to hit without being to grab people to slow them down. Which also sped up the extinction of the heavyweight fighters as sending them out on the ice with faster guys that could skate circles around them and actually do things with the puck became a bad idea.

But the big change was probably around the summer of death when like 5 youngish enforcers all died of CTE related suicides and/or ODs within a couple months and people started to realize elbowing and punching people in the head might be fun to watch, but we should probably stop doing that. It wasn't an overnight change, but that's around where things started shifting.

To me it looked like the guy slipped and then inadvertently crashed into him and it wasn't intended to play out like that but also that still feels like something else needs called on it because goddamn, his neck

That's boarding. 5 + game minimum in every other league. I don't know why that's not been given.

Eyssimont should have argued with the refs that it was boarding and he should go, would have saved him a Dowd rear end beating

The NHL almost never calls boarding.

What they mostly call as boarding is actually its own penalty as checking from behind.

Until Matthews breaks either record, the Leafs' record for goals by a player in a season is 69 and most goals by a player in franchise history is Sundin at 420. Obligatory nice.

I think even with all of the Knights IR Cheating and their 100 million dollar roster the Stars are the better team, but it's like 55/45 instead of the 60%+ chance I believe the Stars would have in a series against any other team in the conference :(
