Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[SA16]

Congratulations to the leadership group of the Boston Bruins for running the future Stanley Cup Winning Coach out of town.

The faster they get done with passing around the Cup, the faster Phil Kessel can get to serving some dirty water dogs out of it

He's bringing the Cup over to Pink's tonight and going HAM

Got to admit, it's got to be a lot of fun right now on the Strip and in all the Casinos. Was there for New Years back in 2010 and it was fun as hell.

Fun story. The last time I was in Vegas was for the last two games of our 2014 SCF loss to Alec Martinez and Jonathan Quick. The strip was mostly oblivious that hockey existed back then and everyone was just having the time of their lives while I tried my hardest to drink myself to death.

One local resident that you've been acquainted with was there drowning his sorrows at home.

He's trying so hard to not go off. Fidgeting like hell when he usually never does. He's fighting it back.

Hank's gotta be in the front office when the Rangers win one. Seeing him lift it is going to make me cry.

Quinn will be invited to Howden's day with the Cup

Marchy throwing shade at Bert Howden's weak shoulders.

I’m picturing them on a tandem cycle with the cup in a basket upfront

He looked uncharacteristically uncomfortable when the camera cut back to the panel after the team photo.

I generally don’t “feel sorry” for pro athletes who never won or had a what if career due to injuries or bad luck in the same way that I “feel sorry” for people who experience a personal tragedy or hardship… but with Hank I genuinely feel anguish on his behalf.

 

[LionsHeart]

I’m legitimately happy for Phil Kessel. Apparently he was genuinely upset that nobody traded for him last year at the Dealdine, so to see him raise the cup one more time after that is awesome.

Meh...he can go home & sleep on a bed of $100 million. He'll be fine. Him, Biz & Gretz are all gonna drink $800 bottles of wine with dinner tonight & probably get some side action. Life's good.

WHAT THE f*** WOMAN?

She's VGK relentless. She's asking me to switch to another team than the Rangers, which she says are hopeless

 

[JRinNYC]

Hank so does not want to be there.

Hank so does not want to be there.

Wife asked why didn't he just call sick tonight. Actually a good point

Maurice is full of class. What a fantastic eloquent interview...never seen anything like that from the losing coach in any sport.

 

[Ace]

The guy who just won playoff MVP was on our farm team and we thought he wasnt worth a contract.

His runner up was available for a collection of players that will never be as good as he is.
