Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

[TMLegend]

Fantastic hockey game though eh folks? Every little puck battle life and death. It's not razzle dazzle stuff that is getting some dude in New Mexico in to hockey watching it, but it is high level play you gotta love, it's great to watch.

Hard to envision the Leafs core ever playing at this intensity honestly.

FL is grabbing, pushing guys over and fighting on their hands and knees to win. EDM is flipping passes back and forth.

Its still fun to watch. Just waiting to see if EDM has killer instinct in them.

Bouchard milked that icing call... surprised they called it

 

[BertCorbeau]

HOW DID THAT STAY OUT?

 

[Evilhomer]

FLA is starting to turtle and just ice the puck, don't know if theyll be able to do this for the next 10 mins

This is Florida's specialty. This game screams empty net goal.

 

[TMLegend]

Just not meant to be. Incredible save by Bobrovsky if he got that.

 

[Squiffy]

Oh my god

 

[BertCorbeau]

Florida with some desperation defense

Feels like Edmonton is going to tie this one up.

 

[Torontonian]

Bad time to miss that McDavid!

 

[thewave]

Finally EDM. About time

 

[TheShape]

Florida completely turtling here. Playing with fire

 

[PromisedLand]

HF servers are on their last leg now aren't they? LMAO

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Panthers playing with fire. Zero pressure and they just ice the puck....

Stop f***ing around

 

[BertCorbeau]

Florida needs a shift in the O zone now with McDavid off the ice

Was it Hyman that second guessed that? It looked like he stopped the follow through. He just had to whack at it really.

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

Leafs would have won this game easily. Jay McClement hat trick

wonder if someone got a stick in there

 

[BertCorbeau]

McDavid line didn't start after a tv timeout?

Interesting choice

 

[ruaware41]

looking like a serial killer wiping his fingerprints off his murder weapon of choice

 

[Evilhomer]

Ekholm and Bennett battling for MVB - most valuable beard. Ekholm looks like a proper Viking. I give him the edge over Bennett, but it's close.

 

[Menzinger]

And unlikely that Edmonton gets back to this point before the cap crunch kicks in for them.

True. Though that speaks to the idiocy of the league in its current state where a team is essentially being punished in terms of competitiveness for having the best player in the world as part of their cap structure

 

[PromisedLand]

5 MINUTES TO GO

There's probably a reason the NHL is the only pro sports league with a hard cap. It's still mostly a minor league professional sport.

Hard cap sucks and the league needs to recognize it eventually.

Costly icing .. all the time and ices it
