Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

MA Fleury was one of my favorite non-Ranger players. I saw him play in Norfolk before he made it to the NHL. There were a crowd of kids talking shit to him. He came over to the glass and tapped his stick on the glass in front of them. They disappeared fast. I was laughing my ass off.
Fleury transcends any team affiliation. He's just a first class human being.
 
He and Jagr were two Penguin players I never hated.
I despised Jagr on the Pens. None of the players on those 90s Pens teams had any redeeming qualities. For that reason I never really warmed up to Jagr while he was a Ranger. I respected him & celebrated when he scored, but he was never a "Ranger" to me.

If somehow Crosby came here with Sullivan, I actually might stop watching. That's how much I abhor that franchise.

Beautiful hit. But when will this clown show of fighting a guy who delivers a clean hit end? We’re not talking about a Scott Steven’s headshot here.

I hated Lemieux with a passion, but for some reason, it didn't rub off on Jagr (for me). Something about him made me like him. Probably because I knew he was a rabid anti-Communist.

Is that the Winnipeg game?
Yeah. Schenn with a huge hit. Puck went right by Scheiffele, and Schenn stood up, elbow tucked and shoulder to the chest. It was a big hit, admittedly, but there was no injury. Just a big hit and Scheiffele decided to let the puck by instead of playing it, leading to “interference.” Just bogus.
