Calgary is going to murder Colorado (Im assuming they have enough to get by StL.)

I know "DURR DALLAS TOOK THEM TO 7." Kuemper would have given up 11 goals in this game.
 
Western Canada is best Canada.

The Capitals have a bunch of injuries to deal with heading into the summer, but I didn't know Hagelin's injury was so scary:

Hagelin has been out since taking a teammate’s errant stick to his left eye in practice March 1, rupturing the choroid so badly doctors considered removing it. The 33-year-old Swede had two surgeries and is more optimistic now than two months ago about playing next season, even though his vision will never be 100% again.

“It’s still some depth perception stuff and obviously looking down and looking up,” said Hagelin, who has skated a few times in recent weeks. “It’s sometimes hard to kind of get that focus in right away, so that’s still a work in progress. It’ll be a lot of eye training this summer, and I’m up for the challenge.”

And this is where the PA and NHL need to come to an immediate agreement.

This is not a visor, it's an umbrella. We have no idea if the visor would of prevented this horrific injury, but like helmets before it, they recognize that there is some significant risk mitigation by wearing a visor. Now everyone entering the league has to wear them, they should have to wear them as designed.

(PS: I know the league has instructed that this is illegal in the past, but enforcement has slipped again)

Good point, I was wondering how he got hit in the eye with everyone wearing visors now but this reminded me that he's one of those "angled" visor guys.
