[I Eat Crow]

I'm telling you, Chytil back, AS break reset. Let's cook.

This aged like milk.

Letang takes out Barkov whether it was intentional or not, and Florida goes after him the rest of the game. Meanwhile the Rangers are the softest team in the league.

It looked to me as if Barkov lost his edge. I don't think Letang touched him.

Its why Florida was so easy to root for last Playoffs. easily my 2nd team

The new doc emerick is now on sportsnet if you want to hear.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Not jumping on the Oilers bandwagon or anything but I would LOVE to see them break the Pens' record. Just wish it was all in regulation since that would mean it would be legit throughout time, oh well.

You root harder for Buchnevich than Lafreniere.

I liked it when the Oilers were sucking

Good on the Oilers for being close to a historic streak. While 90% of the teams they have beaten on said streak are out of the playofffs.

Don't get me wrong, we lost to the Sharks. So good on them for beating the teams they are supposed to beat. But I don't see them as this clear cut favourite to win the SC above the rest of the good teams.

Woman testifies former Dallas Star Mike Ribeiro raped her on boat

Ribeiro is accused of assaulting two women and attempting to assault a third in Franklin County, about 100 miles east of Dallas.

Absolutely disgusting.

Another banner night in the metro, Carolina probably gets the 1 seed, but there’s no reason for the Rangers not to have home ice in round 1.

I enjoy the fact that even though they're on a 16 game win streak, they're still only 3rd in their division.

Its easy to forget just how rough their start was.

they have also played 4 and 5 games fewer than Vancouver and Vegas respectively. Asking them to make up 12 points on Vancouver is a bit much, but I've seen crazier shit happen.

Canucks kind of remind me of St Louis of 2 years ago. Almost everyone on that team is having a career year. Difference is their goalie is actually good.

The fact that the Rangers are still 1st in the Metro shows A) how bonkers their start was and B) how depressing they've been for the last 1.5 months to not keep that spread

Still looking for what they can do against top competition, because they haven't really faced it during this stretch. And I got crucified on the mainboards by Oilers fans for bringing this up.

Barzal: if we had won a few more points in OT or the SO, Parise would sign with us

Proceeds to lose another one in the OT

[Boris Zubov]

Not really surprising...he's seemed distracted since his rookie year.

Hope he gets the help he needs.

There is a slight nudge that could be called as interference but agree, Barkov lost his edge. Florida ends up with dumb penalties but they manage the W.

Not clear what's happening in Buch's celly

Meant to say they are rowing on (towards the play offs presumably).

Potential employer: "Ok we just need to read your HFBoards history and we should be set".
Me: "Nevermind i rescind my application"

“You thought Marcel Hossa was good for 80 points?!?! You fool! Take a hike before I have to call security. Sicko…”

Edmonton‘s streak must be giving Bettman wood

Ewww

Its true but 16 in a row is impressive regardless. They're basically a shoe in to bump that to 17 in a row.

Good teams lose to bad teams all the time though so I don't think that really diminishes what they've done.

It's impressive, but I have a hard time drawing conclusions about them being the top contender based on this streak.

 

[17futurecap]

The league basically having no games for a week stinks.
