[Schennanigans]

Such sad news about Millen. He will be sadly missed. Does anyone know what happened?

Pretty sick goal from Byfield

 

[ToneDog]

Brutal refs in Anaheim.

Gudas head shots and flying elbows. Didn't see them wink wink.

I knew the flying V was one of the Ducks big plays but never heard that they also had the flying elbow in their tool box.

 

[LeafEgo]

Kuch is in that top tier forsure.

Only Gretz has four consecutive 80 assist seasons though.

White socks with black shoes?

Messier had the appropriate reaction, hiding under his jacket. I guess Subban wins though, because here I am talking about it.

So about that chinese farmer story.....

Pitt haven't been the same since Kessel left ....he put the curse on them after he got screwed in not winning playoff MVP

He was excellent for Pittsburgh, but he was never their MVP

He was excellent for Pittsburgh, but he was never their MVP

The year poster is referring to, he should have won the Conn Smythe imo.

I think that’s a really hard position to defend personally. Kessel was excellent but 3rd line players are never the MVP frankly. Crosby scored bigger goals, played excellent two way, took all the toughest matchups, was the emotional leader of the team, and was negligibly behind Kessel in points. The only argument for Kessel is he had more points, but MVP is so much more than just raw point totals.

He had two great playoff performances for them.

 

[Sypher04]

He had two great playoff performances for them.

Yes he did. Neither time was he the MVP though

Ivan Demidov and SKA have taken a joint decision, which will see the forward join the Montreal Canadiens this season. His KHL rights will remain with SKA. He will return to Saint Petersburgh if he doesn't gain a foothold in the NHL.

He will be making his debut against the Leafs Saturday. You know what that means

White socks with black shoes?

White socks with black shoes are absolutely on trend the last year or so. Not brogues, or whatever shoes he's wearing. You need some Paraboot's or Kleman's to pull it off. Could even go the penny loafer route not the shiny ones he has), but not as good as the first two options.

Nobody look at me...

*Hides 2000s era black Vans and white sweat socks*

Oilers screwed up Trent Frederic's recovery and return it seems.

Oilers screwed up Trent Frederic's recovery and return it seems.

Why what did the oilers do?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Why what did the oilers do?

They played him potentially too early last Saturday and he re-aggravated his injury.

Cannot wait to watch Ivan Demidov play

He wasn't a third liner with his first cup with the spend. He averaged more icetime than Malkin during the playoffs.

I think a reasonable case can be made for Crosby that year, but even losing by a hair the MVP to the best hockey player in the world is saying something in of itself

 

[Jojalu]

Cannot wait to watch Ivan Demidov play

I want to see if the hype train is real.

From everything I have read, he is going to be special

Pasta with goal and assist making it 13 points on the last 13 Bruins goals.

That entire team is literally just him.
