Mark Stone with a really weak 3 point series and -2. It's good for the game that they didn't succeed in exploiting the LTIR loophole again. Hopefully this was the end of Vegas as a contender.

I think Vegas will be ok, but agree that the LTIR loophole needs closing.
That Vegas/Dallas series felt like a western conference finals series. I don’t think the remaining teams in the west have the overall depth, goaltending or team defense to keep up with Dallas right now.

Everyone that can, does, use it. they are no different. To say Mark Stone wasn't playing hurt is to ignore Mark Stone playing hurt

I think Colorado has the best chance, but if Dallas gets past the Avs I see them handling either Edmonton or Vancouver.

Play ****ing hockey.
I think Boston matches up pretty well with Fler-i-duh. I can see Swayman pulling out a Jordan Binnington-esque performance and taking them on a deep run.

Not sure why I was enjoying seeing the Broons win a game, but I guess the cats were more irritating to me this season. Funniest part for me was watching Bob duck and get scored on. Far cry from years ago watching Hasek reach his face out to stop shots with his mask.
Of course Hasek was a bit mental...

i'm pretty indifferent between Boston and Florida but Boston winning would make their draft pick that Ottawa owns slightly worse
when in doubt f*** Ottawa feels like a good rule of thumb to me

A bit? Hasek was hockey Joker. A literal insane person. Someone made fun of him, said his clothes made him look like Kramer... Dom took all that dude's clothes and threw them in the shower.

It will be interesting to see what Carolina does in the off season and what happens with Guentzel

If franchises like Ottawa and Buffalo insist on shooting themselves in the foot, I'm not going to feel bad when they also keep reloading.

I live an hour south of Vancouver, but I'm on Team Makar. Worked in Denver for 3 years including their inaugural season.
I cannot get myself to root for any Canadian team even if most of the locals here are Canucks fans. (Some have switched to the Kraken.)

Oh! I was aiming for Mariana trench deep levels of understatement there
I remember the stories of him getting genuinely angry about getting scored on in practice. If they gave out a trophy for craziest goalie I'm sure he could have gotten the half dozen to pair up with his Vezinas, lol.

If I am Boston, I call up an AHL goon and send him out with direct orders to take out Tkachuk and as dirty as possible.
Even if Pasta went after Matt, I wouldn't be pleased with those punches my best scorer took.
Florida goonery is the worst, it makes me hope Boston wins, and that usually never happens.

Honestly I can only hope that these teams destroy each other. Boston's game plan for years has been "NHL refs will always swallow their whistles in the playoffs, and try to keep penalties relatively even. If we commit 30 penalties, get called 4 times and the other team commits 5 penalties and gets called twice, we come out way ahead. So let's just hurt people." I can't feel any sympathy watching it get used against them.
I don't care who wins the series. I just am excited to watch. I hope the NHL figures out that a very successful team strategy involves flagrant disregard for the rules and fixes that somehow.
