That Rick Nash is a real tough guy eh?

 

[Captain Lindy]

Nice win, Boston!!

He’s a blob out there.

Always hated Fat Balloon

 

[CTTribe73]

Paul Maurice Discount in full effect.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I was just told Florida was the best playoff team in the east. We have no chance.

In the east? On the PLANET!

 

[Nickmo82]

Ekblad looked like a real liability out there in game 1.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Love that scoreline! I was really expecting Florida to win in 5ish games without too much struggle. Hopefully Boston pushes it to 7, and they beat the hell out of each other.

But...but... some people on this board still don't think we're even a contender.

I have a feeling it'll be the Blackhawks that win the lottery again and then they'll be able to pair Celebrini with Bedard, lol

There's no cockier fan base than the Panthers, the takeaway from last nights game is they did it to themselves, won't happen again.

Leafs, Pens, Canucks, & Avs fans say hi.

Boston's jabronis played like all-world guys and Florida's all-world guys played like jabronis. Swayman sees the puck as a beachball right now. He had this troll smile during the national anthem and you knew he was on. That was not the same Boston team that played Toronto. They were much faster and more assertive. That said, Florida had their chances. Biggest thing was Boston protected their net front and cleared rebound chances.

You know the Devils are winning it. They’ve won it like 12 times.

 

[will1066]

Ekblad looked like a real liability out there in game 1.

He's their Trouba.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Didn’t they change the rules?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He's their Trouba.

He's attached to their best D so more like their Lindgren.

 

[will1066]

He's attached to their best D so more like their Lindgren.

Their similar in age, build and contracts. They're both right-handed. Ekblad is obviously the better offensive talent, but defensively they're similar liabilities now.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Very possible! I wasn’t aware - what did they change?

I thought there was chatter a couple years ago that a team that wins the lottery is ineligible to win for a set number of years.

I’m too lazy to research this though

can't move up more than 10 sports AND can't win lottery more than twice in 5 years so pretty much anyone in the bottom 10 can win it this year even the Hawks.

How convenient, the Devils are in the 10th spot.

Here we go.
