[Cmox]

terrible D there.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Oilers depth players stepping up this round

 

[Bourque]

Avs/Stars game has 8 goals scored (4-4) with 14 minutes left!

 

[JRinNYC]

Nice goal by the Stars for the Avalanche.

 

[Cmox]

[NYR94]

Nice goal by the Stars for the Avalanche.

Dallas really misses Lundkvist

Dallas really misses Lundkvist

we all do

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Don’t think I saw Lindgren out there for the last 5 minutes of that game…?

PS anyone know what the hell Av’s “goal song” is? Just sounds like a bunch of people shouting randomly.

 

[mike14]

Oilers against an empty net look like us. 3-on2, no shot. Star player, misses the net. Other team, scores...

 

[mike14]

and to keep harping on about, that coach's challenge should haunt the LA bench for years...

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Dallas really misses Lundkvist

Suckvist, another Statboy Steve special

 

[McRanger92]

The Kings deserve this purgatory of losing to the Oilers every year. Can we interest you in a slightly used Panarin? On sale now!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What do you even do if you’re LA?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

What do you even do if you’re LA?

cry

First round is taking forever.

LA and MIN have been in that "good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to win a round" zone of mediocrity for the last 10 years. Frustrating.

At least we usually get the joy of winning a couple rounds when we make it. Those teams are just happy to be there in most cases. I dont really see a path out of that mediocrity for them either tbh.

minnesotans shedding 13mm of dead cap for parise and suter buyouts starting next year. They have a young core and sone excellent prospects: buium, yurov, wallstedt, etc. I think they're primed -ahead of rebuilds like anaheim and san jose - to make real noise. kaprizov and boldy are real difference makers.

They gotta sign Kaprizov too. I like the Wild so I hope it works out for them. Good culture. Guys go there and get better.

Steve Yzerman end of season presser.
Only four missing from the Sour 16.
isles, Pat Verbeek, Barry Trotz and Drury.
Guessing we’ll get Drury soon with the Sullivan presser.

LA would win a round or two if they didn't draw McDrai & Co. every year.

The playoff system sucks

Go back to 1-8 or do a MLB/NFL wildcard with top teams getting byes.

 

[n8]

I laugh at everyone who thought there was even a remote chance of Jon Cooper joining the NYR

Cooper to return as Lightning coach next season

Lightning coach Jon Cooper will return next season, general manager Julien BriseBois said Friday, shutting down speculation that they might part ways after an early playoff exit.

I would love to see the return of 1-8 playoff seeding.
