Vlad Namestnikov took a Nate Schmidt slap shot to the face. It looks like it caught him directly below the visor on the orbital bone. Hope it only looked worse than it actually is.

I can't believe they elevated the AI to the absolute peak of cultural relevance within the sport once it started the 516th rehashing of the "gongshow hockey" schtick. There is clearly no greater pattern or issue here, though. AIs will be AIs, after all.

Man I really can't figure out why people keep talking as if hockey has some kind of ongoing deeply-ingrained problem at a cultural level with misogyny, toxic masculinity, and all that stuff.
i can't figure out why there's a leaf banner hanging in the garden.

Hypothetically if the Oilers win tonight, they'll have a pretty decent rest advantage over us.

Really pulling for a Kings win.

How so? If we close out Nashville in game 5, we're done a day earlier than they are, assuming they also close out LA. And the second round won't start until every other series is done.

That being said, I'd love for the Kings to drag this to seven and beat down on the Oilers.

There’s precedent for starting a round while a game 07 is going on. They avoid it but sometimes the schedule necessitates it.
Well let’s hope for Oilers and the dallas series going to 7.
I hope the Jets will come back but that looks unlikely

Brutal call in a 3-0 series with barely more than 2 minutes to go. League should be ashamed

did anyone watch any of the Rangers series? I know I saw criticism from Washington’s coach for Ovie after one of the games, but I’m wondering if he was bad the entire series.
