He brought the Stanley Cup to church in 1998 when he won with Detroit but coincidentally that was the same time my family and I spent half a year in California and were out of town when he brought it. I honestly didn’t know much about hockey when I was 12 so My dude if you're gonna storypost make sure it's not gonna be the 40th post on the page

He settled in Buffalo because of one son that needed extra care. Now, Scotty is a snow bird that is a casual scout at all the Lightning games.

About a month ago I had a dream that ended with watching a Leafs defenseman (LHD so gotta be Rielly) pivot skating backwards with the goalie pulled and roll the puck right off his stick and into the empty net. It was so startling I yelled no!! and woke up eyes wide open. Anyway Isles defenseman Mike Reilly was a few inches away from doing the exact same thing tonight.

I hate the Islanders and I'm real mad at them for that. I haven't seen turtling like that since the 09 Rangers. Roy is awful.

The bike store thing happened in like October 2015 so it’s been a while lol but my sister was living here until late 2019 and he was still going to the same church so he definitely spent part of the year here, at least pre-COVID. He’s 90 years old so I’d be surprised if he didn’t live in Tampa full time by now.

I wouldn't be surprised if that migration is still being made, Scotty is still is good shape.

So much was made of Washington’s goal differential that we didn’t make enough fun of the Isles also making the playoffs while being -17 and having more losses than wins

Matt Zerella posted:I hate the Islanders and I'm real mad at them for that. I haven't seen turtling like that since the 09 Rangers. Is it turtling when they were mostly bad for the entire game outside of the half a period where they scored the 3 goals? They didn’t have a shot on goal for the first 12 minutes of the game. They are also completely allergic to clearing the puck out of their zone. It’s been a problem all year. They win possession deep in their zone and then softly pass it up the boards to the opposing teams dman. I’ve never seen a team do it so consistently. It is 100% the reason they blew so many 3rd period leads during the regular season and is why they choked away a 2 goal lead at the start of the 3rd this game. They did it under Lambert and they do it under Roy. They are just dogshit

McDavid's 5 assists were the first time that happened since 1988 and Geoff Courtnall. He's now at 1.6 points per playoff game just behind Mario for second at 1.607 I love my stupid hockey freak

Just looking at the PPG, and Draisaitl is right behind McDavid with 1.58! I forget how good both of their runs were the year they went to the Conference Finals.

It's very funny that both Stone and Hertl scored in the first game of the playoffs. And also Vegas benefited from the new worst rule (play was offside 15 seconds ago therefore no goal). They are really embracing the villain role. It's just too bad that there is no hero team in the NHL to defeat them

Vegas are heroes because they swing for the fences each season instead of complaining how hard it is to make moves.

The Carolina GWG was very funny, Dobson goes to retrieve the puck behind his net and get clowned on by Martinook who steals it and scores on a bank shot wraparound. Real recreational ball hockey energy.

Vegas was also just 750k over the salary cap last night. They were barely over and could have been under simply by having a different backup

I find it interesting that Draisaitl was the MVP just a few years ago, yet there isn’t the shadow of a doubt that he’s Robin and McDavid is Batman. What a crazy combo to have on the same team.

I just learned that Dallas is calling it the plAIoffs (as in A.I.), so they are definitely the villains in that series. Go Knights

I saw on The Internet that Vegas' roster would have been cap compliant anyway? I guess they made a swap or two since that projection though. Lame. It's funnier when it's full on cheating.

I’ve been seeing a few Vegas fans this morning posting about Colorado as if they’re doing the same thing as Vegas is but from what i can tell it isn’t even the same situation? Like Landeskog has been out for two years, didn’t play in game 1 and afaik isn’t playing today. I’m probably missing some things but how is that supposed to be some kind of gotcha?

I agree that it’s projection as Landeskog was never placed on LTIR afaik and that’s the major difference. If they had they could’ve added someone but never did.
