You hate that, after that goaltending performance

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Oettinger could only do so much.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Battle of Alberta here we come

Oettinger played the game of his life. Kudos to him. Unbelievable performance.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Mannnn it has to suck to stop all of those insane opportunities and then give up that one.

 

[will1066]

Battle of Alberta

Wow

 

[JRinNYC]

Battle of Alberta and Battle of Florida!!!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

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.

 

[will1066]

Macho Man Randy Savage!

 

[JRinNYC]

Battle of Alberta and Battle of Florida!!!

Macho Man Randy Savage!

[JRinNYC]

Western Canada is best Canada.


Toronto:

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What a terrific weekend of hockey punctuated by the Rangers winning their game and underlined by Toronto being the only home team that lost their game 7

 

[will1066]

Western Canada is best Canada.


Toronto:

Lmao

 

[tlk]

SOG in that game 30-60 or something lol
Oettinger standing on his head

 

[Miamipuck]

Battle of Florida sounds like a Cuban fighting a Haitian, or a methhead fighting someone high on bathsalts.

Lol I lived there 23 years and is quite accurate.

 

[duhmetreE]

how can you not like Calgary?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This first round was f***ing chaos.

 

[Tob]

Great Masteron trophy choices. Hayes, the pain of losing of a family member, Price the strength to seek addiction rehabilitation, Chara the will to continue to live pass his 40s.

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.”

Capitals' Backstrom, Wilson facing possible surgery - TSN.ca

Nicklas Backstrom gutted through a hip injury that caused him to miss the first two months of the season, and Tom Wilson as hard as he tried couldn’t do the same in the playoffs on a bad knee.

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.
