LMAO anyone else here shocked to find out that Carter Verhaeghe has 41 goals!?

Islander and TB fans? Kid has size, speed and skills. Scored at lower levels and keeps progressing.

Guess I was commenting less on the player than the coverage. Quietest 40 goals I can think of.

Guys in Florida do not usually get that much NHL press. Not on national TV much either. I did not know he hit 40 before you mentioned it.

Tortorella on Tony DeAngelo, who will be scratched for a 3rd straight game tonight:

Q: Thought process behind keeping DeAngelo out again?

Torts: "Just our decision."

Q: Is he healthy?

Torts: "Yes."

Q: How is he taking sitting 3 straight?

Torts: "Haven't talked to him."

Torts wanted TDA. They traded a 2nd round, 3rd round and 4th round pick for him and signed him for $5 mill a year.

He doesn't want him anymore, looks like his season is done

Philly thought putting TdA and Lemouex together in a lazy locker room would turn out well. I can't imagine what Hayes is going through and he already had issues appearing lazy, his mind ain't right and who can blame him. Now imagine getting barked at every day.

Philly thought their team just needed a kick in the pants. They need to just put the demo charges on it.

If a nyr did that to Brendan then they would review the high stick and give him a major lol

 

[Leonardo87]

Vatrano with his 21st goal from a nice little dish from Zegras, 40 point season for Vatrano, career high! Strome also hits 40 points on the 2nd assist.

 

[Leonardo87]

22nd goal for Vatrano.

 

[17futurecap]

Avalanche running interference for the first two minutes of OT, and then they call Vatrano for interference in the neutral zone.

Sick of 3 on 3 hockey, thankfully it’s almost over for the season.

Good for us though that Colorado can still win the division over Dallas.

 

[Leonardo87]

Reffing in that Ducks game was a joke. Wow. Brutal.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I'll be pretty surprised if the WCF isn't a Avs-Oilers rematch.

 

[LOFIN]

Avs need help from the infirmary. Kinda amazing they can still win the division with all their injuries. But they need some bodies back in the playoffs.

Please remind me why that's good for us. I apologize as my memory is nearly shot.

The Rangers own the Dallas 1st so the lower they get pushed in the final standings, the better the pick the Rangers receive.

Not only do the Rangers play so many more b2b's than the Devils, but it also seems that they are the recipient of playing visiting teams that play us first and get the Devil's as their end of b2b's.
Whether that is an advantage is anybody's opinion.

McDavid: "I didn't want to be a bust."

McDavid talks pressure before draft, Bedard in exclusive Q&A with NHL.com | NHL.com

Oilers center, 2-time MVP, said he 'didn't want be a bust' in NHL

Somehow, the Rangers will be playing B2B's against NJD in the playoffs, but the Devils will have a day off in between. Does that violate time and space? You are damned right it does, but Bettman has figured out how to leverage the Higgs Boson in such a way that he can make it happen. Look, I don't make the laws.

[Crease]

It probably went wide of an open net.

 

[Synergy27]

Caps score twice in the first minute of the game against the Icelanders. Wow wow wow.

Sorokin has to be a bit burnt out at this point. Gotta be hard mentally and even physically every game knowing you have to be at your best. Not much room for error.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Both Paveleski and Giroux hit 1000 career points tonight. Apparently Paveleski has stopped aging. Going to be 39 in July. 76pts this season.
