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

Then your goalie breaks his hand...f***

Hey I didn't say it was a smart idea for the goalies!

Got assigned to work the Dallas game tonight. This is going to be the game where Rantanen gets out of his funk and puts up 5 points and I'll have to sit there listening to it.

Congrats-

Not close enough to the Stars but I wonder if he is feeling the pressure of not producing in his “designated”/Finn heavy team yet?

One team you can shrug off on the team; two and now it’s on you!

like my shitty ex-gf who's mom was on her 3rd marriage (which also ended in divorce) but was somehow insistent they were all horrible men in the end or they changed (probably because they could only suffer through so much)...

this is why we need the Jokinen face reaction back.

For real I had no idea the jokinen face shaped hole that was in my life

Was looking at the East's possible playoff matchups. Given an easy SOS (higher number is easier), Ottawa looks like a lock but they do have to play Columbus 3x (that's as odd as when the Canes played Tampa 3x early in the season). Detroit has a nasty tough schedule too & unless they surprise won't make the playoffs this year. I guess it's down to one of the NY teams with Ottawa or Montreal and Ottawa.

So, we all agree the best outcome is for toronto to pass florida, jah?

give me

toronto - ottawa
florida - tampa
canes - devils
caps - who cares (islanders, i guess. just to lol at rangers and habs. wish cbj could get there, but...)

i don't care much out west. give me first round avs-stars and oilers-kings. the rest is whatever.

We all need Jokinen-face avatars now.

This islanders and bjs game tonight is gonna be huge for the wild card- Columbus needs to win it and in regulation

Well, after the first period, it's scoreless in Dallas. Rantanen had a breakaway that he never fully had control over, and he took a lazy penalty with 20 seconds left in the period.

And now 4 minutes into the 2nd, he's taken a puck to the face and is heading to the locker room

 

[Blueline Bomber]

3-0 Stars final. Rantanen had an assist on the empty netter, but frankly, I saw the same Rantanen we had in Carolina for much of the game. There physically, somewhere else mentally. And his two linemates would probably be more successful without him

 

[To Be Determined]

Jeebus, saw the replay of the "goalie interference" that wiped out the would have been game winning goal for the isles - it would have broken the tie with about 9 seconds to go - and all i can say is they got f'd with a cactus.

They did but their 3rd goal that was challenged and stood was pretty iffy. And really just by getting to the shootout they kept ahead of Columbus which pretty well keeps that last spot between them and Montreal

I was not impressed with Mikko Huberdeau last night either.

 

[Stickpucker]

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.

Equipment trainers should have a skaters helmet at the ready for goalies who want to fight.

Bob Gorman probably has 2 at the ready for Kochetkov plus 3 sticks.

PHRASING...

This along with all the talk of square pegs and round holes.

A good hole should be able to accommodate a wide variety of shapes, lengths, and girths.

Mikko Fall-anen

he did get an open net assist plus a new face shield for his "efforts"

 

[BrindAmours Army]

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.

Oh I think you are misremembering the past a bit.

We didn't make playoffs for JR's last five years here.

So the second half push was even worse.

We went from "great" to "meh" draft pick, and didn't even have playoffs to enjoy.

God I do not miss the Karmanos days
