I remember in the 90's when Pavel Bure cheap shotted Churla coming across the defensive zone with the elbow to the side of the head. That was a great hit.

Bure would've been suspended for basically forever for that hit these days.

Bure's the last dude I'd expect to play dirty, although it's not like Churla didn't provoke him (which isn't to excuse what Bure did).

Apparently Bill Peters is a bit unhappy with Eddie Lack's performance this year and looked toward his stall and said "Make a loving save" while talking to the reporters. Should probably be saying the same thing to Cam Ward, I'd think.

He's taking after Torts and getting sick of the 25% rule. Lack made 12 saves and allowed four goals in that game.

How did Carolina not move on from Cam Ward last offseason? It seemed like the most obvious thing in the world to do and instead they gave him a 2-year $6.6M contract to be one of the worst goalies in the league (again).

A weird quote but man Zetterberg has been really great this year. I thought he had lost a step last year, and I mean, he has, but he seems to have adapted and is playing that old Jagr/Lemieux/Sedin cerebral game where the game time warps whenever the puck touches their stick.

Lack of options, I guess? Or perhaps a literal intentional tanking? I have no clue why they didn't go after Bishop. Maybe they wouldn't trade him in the conference.

I don't know if he'd go there but you'd think Maf would be an option for them. He still sucks but not as badly as Cam Ward. If the Pens buy him out or eat salary it would make sense to me.

I like Hainsey so far. He's like old Brian Dumoulin.

But yeah if Letang isn't good to go by the playoffs we're gonna get gong showed by any Metro opponent. The Pens could probably still beat any of the Atlantic teams even without Letang though.

Oh for sure, I'm not trying to poo poo on him or Streit even (by any account they should be better than Cole.)
Hainsey was actually making a lot of impressive plays last game but he had a few awkward moments from being on his off-side.

I'm thinking if the Leafs make the playoffs they're going to get curbstombed. They've shown themselves to not be able to handle strong offensive pressure too well when the game gets really hard this year and it'll only be harder during playoff time. I would like to be pleasantly surprised of course. Still pretty happy with how the season has went though.

On the one hand, they're going to have to learn how to play under pressure and where the line on what you can get away with is (and how to play defense, holy poo poo the goals they let up are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad). On the other hand, if the Toronto media turns against them because they get swept or if it starts to hammer on Lou to make changes to win now the Leafs are probably going to blow the best chance at winning a ring since 1967.
I'd kinda prefer the latter since I already hate the Toronto media and routinely mute the feed if I'm watching a game with Toronto callers.

They're still enamored by the fact he won the Conn Smythe with them in 2006.

Hey, you never know. They might get 3rd in the Atlantic and make the second round before getting curbstomped by whichever Metro team ends up as the first Wild Card. :v:

They haven't beaten Montreal in 12 games, will probably struggle against Ottawa and I could see them leaving a series against Boston with a lot of bruises (and bruised egos).

I think the Canes signed Ward to a two-year deal because they knew they had to expose a goalie in the expansion draft, but were expecting Lack to be worth protecting. Probably not a preferred destination for UFAs, either.
