  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Don't look now, but the Islanders are 2 points out of a playoff spot. How does that team always go from "dead in the water" to "somehow, they've returned" every year?

They sold Nelson at the deadline too which is crazy.

It’s wild how the East playoff race has so quickly gone from “2 of NYR, Columbus, Detroit” to “Ottawa is basically in, last playoff spot is down to Montreal, NYR, NYI.” A matter of weeks.

It’s a better version of JR’s final years in Carolina, where the second half surge is just enough to sneak into the playoffs and still prevent a complete rebuild of the foundation.
 
Refs ruined another potential goalie fight last night. Kuemper got run into, started swinging at the Bruins players, Swayman and Kuemper meet at center ice. Swayman removes his helmet and his gloves, refs step in.

And I know the reason why they do that, and it’s unfortunately a valid one. The league doesn’t want any fights happening where the player removes their helmet (because smacking the head against the ice is less than ideal), and unfortunately, there’s no way goalies can fight without removing their helmets.

they should just let each goalie quickly do a helmet swap with any skater on the ice then go at it
