Hopefully Boston doesn't upset Florida this round. I don't see them having any shot against the rags.

I think a Florida-NYR series could go 50:50. They're the only hope in the East IMO.

Although I do see a lot of good WC teams, all who could realistically take the rags out in the Finals.

Andersen makes 4 or 5 series saving saves vs the isles, now can’t stop a beach ball.

ESPN has no limits on sucking the Rag’s dicks.

Shesty gives up a late goal and then ESPN flashes a stat saying he’s given up 3 goals or less in his last 27 playoff games. At that point in the game he had given up 3 goals on about 20 shots. Good career stats for Shesty? Sure. Did they said it earlier in the game? Yes and why say it again at that time?

I think we know the answer. They have a limited number of talking points and they’re not particularly prone to providing useful analysis of the game at hand.

Ferraro is NYR-centric and Forslund Canes-centric; though I think they’re both with the TNT/TBS crew. Both annoy the f*** out of me.

Wyatt Johnston 20 years old, 23rd pick in the 2021 draft.

He just scored the Star’s first goal in game 7.
32 goals and 65 points in the regular season and 1 point per game this postseason.

Cost controlled high end talent. I’m jealous.
So are the 22 teams that passed on him.

In the West I want the best teams to take out Rangers, I thought Vegas would make it far.

I think the Coyotes (or whatevers) have reason to be pleased about Guenther, too.

That will continue to be a draft where surprises emerge simply because scouting was so hampered, and development was so altered by the lack of play during the pandemic. That year was the most affected. Dallas's top two picks seem to be big hits. They had an amazing draft in 2017, the Harley pick in 2019 looks good, the 2021 draft as mentioned, and we're going to see about Bourque (2020). Bizarre pick in 2019 when they picked Dellandrea over Farabee. (In retrospect, and some *did* say it at the time, Farabee would have been a better pick than Wahlstrom.)

Aaron Ekblad is not a good defender.
His best talent is size.

And, I'm not arguing it should have been or should not have been. I'm just curious if there's a raging debate about it going on, since I avoid the dopey main board at all cost.


Well, the video evidence says it was really close. Honestly, if that was called icing, would people be screaming horseshit?



True, but sometimes they don't.
In Boston? They scream it for the waiter dropping the garlic rolls.

And Jack Edwards would give the decision to the rolls if they have a yellow and black basket
