I hope it works horribly for all parties.
We Want Ten

I hate that he is back and will be in our faces again. You just know he will have like 50% of his points against us, but I am happy to see him get jerked around as well.
So conflicted.

The trade gives me hope for finding a trade partner for Laine that doesn't have negative value to the CBJ/

"that chick from Ohio"
Some extremely vindictive still-bitter-after-12-years part of me is actually hoping PLD plays well for the Caps, because then there will finally be a useful direct experienced example to certain holdouts in that fanbase who might be convinced that we were bullshitting when talking about how The Former #7 did us dirty.
The rest of me is trying to remind myself that 1) the Caps are in-division so f*** that and 2) the number of such holdouts remaining is probably all of one or two.

I want to see PLD pout about being traded before his NMC kicked in to the point Washington needs to send a plane to convince him to report to training camp.
I often think over loyalty is actually what sinks some too many teams.

So you'd bench a 2 time Vezina winner and finalist this season because they lost 2 games in a row and he might be a bit tired?
His vezinas were a long time ago. He was mediocre through his florida contract. marc andre fleurry had been benched multitudes of times and it occasionally worked out. Benching crawford for darling gave chicago a boost one cup run. Benching hasek for osgood got detroit a cup before. And hasek was a much greater legend than bob.

But Hasek never played in the NHL again after that season and was not a Vezina finalist that season. Additionally, he was replaced in game 4 of the quarterfinals. Not with 1 game left to win in the Stanley Cup finals.
Stolarz didn't exactly inspire confidence in relief after Bob was pulled in game 4.

They finished 8th this year by default. Pretty easy to see NJ and Buffalo passing them this coming season.
Their only (?) goalie right now is Charlie Lindgren.
Ovechkin turns 39 (!!) before the season starts and has obviously slowed down.
Oshie is 37.
Backstrom is LTIRetired.

Even if NJ, Buffalo, and potentially Ottawa all pass them, which I agree with, that doesn’t mean they’re still not on the playoff bubble

Since Knoblauch took over, the Oilers have lost three consecutive games three times. They followed those string of losses with 8 straight wins, 16 straight wins, and 5 straight wins.
Knocking on the door of 4 straight in game 7.
Tkachuk is atrocious this game.

Really don’t think he’s at fault for any of the goals tonight.
Game 5? Yeah. Not tonight
Yeah forget what I said a few days ago saying Bob was tired... it's the whole team that's tired(well, except Barkov heh).
I'm really surprised, Florida has been so composed for the whole playoffs. I knew Oiler's speed was gonna give them some trouble but I figured it was settled when Panthers went up 3-0.
