The recent Rangers-Habs game was really great so back off.

Honestly the Rangers are so banged up and who the gently caress knows how AV will pair up the defense once Girardi and Klein are healthy so they may drop down to WC2?

I was fully expecting them to somehow pick up Shattenkirk and/or add a center in Duchene who would've had the potential to put up 70 points on the third line to add to the pile of riches and still wind up under the Cap somehow.

This scenario would have been very rude.

I liked the thought of it at first because having rivalries build from repeated playoff series seemed like a good idea but the divisions are so stupidly unbalanced this year that it's just dumb that whoever finishes fourth in the Metro gets basically a free pass to the ECF. I mean it's actually worse to finish first than fourth, how dumb is that?

The Rangers are out in the first round so that's the end of that argument.

I see Grabner's shooting percentage is starting to dip back to his career average. 6 shots on net last night alone, 1 clean breakaway, another almost breakaway, and no goals.

He's been getting about 2 breakaways a game lately and he either tries to go top shelf and misses completely or biffs it right into the leg pad. We knew he wouldn't keep it up but goddamn he looks snakebit right now.

Nice to see Stepan heating up though.

The Penguins are the most unduly picked on franchise in the entire loving league. They don't have any big men besides Malkin and they haven't had a goon on the roster for years, but they get a reputation for "playing dirty." Everyone hates the team that's better than theirs, I guess.

Welcome to the hockey thread, where facts are trolling.

The Pens don't have any big players except for Malkin, who very rarely fights. Doumalin is 6'4" and he's their tallest regular player.

The Pens haven't had a goon on the bench in years.

Their players are predominately small, fast skaters. Most of them are under 6' (Conor Sheary is 5'8").

Apparently winning is "playing dirty?"

Jesus Tayne, for a guy who gets daps on the reg from ya boy Sidney "the Fingerblaster" Crosby I'd think maybe Sestito said hello to you once or twice this year when they called him up to go headhunting. Being tall has nothing to do with being a goon so I have no idea what you mean with this big man stuff.

Crosby lost a mouthful of teeth to a high stick just a few weeks ago. He's been a target for a decade now.

Eventually you quit being patient with the poo poo other teams pull and put Sestito out there.

I am very sorry that your player got high sticked and lost teeth, a thing that's never happened to any other player in the NHL in the last decade and is solely targeted towards your player. Must be rough to watch.

Crosby was super dirty when he first came into the league but it wasn't tough guy dirty, it was "oh, a stick brushed me or a guy kind of hit me, better flop to the ice" dirty.
