Around the NHL: Part XXIV

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Rask has always been a weird guy. For all the people who complain about Henrik's temper tantrums the last five years, Rask has just as many but dialed up exponentially. Look, he has a newborn, it's cool, don't hold it against him.

Rask is a better goalie than Thomas over the longhaul but he'll never hit Thomas's 2011 peak.

The Wild unhappy with Zuc? I know I really pissed off Webster who ripped me on the main boards and basically called me an @@%#%!! and I took it and apologized because I don't want him to think I have a vendetta against Zuc. I get Norway has a small amount of NHLers and my criticism of Zuc has nothing to do with an "I told you so!" or his country of origin or their program. It has to do with how he was a good to very good player in line with what Callahan/Dubinsky/Hagelin/McD/etc. did here yet some people wanted to give him the key to the city and a lifetime contract. He was declining and disappeared too many times and people cried when he left like he was Giacomin/Leetch when he was more in the Callahan/Johnstone/Sandstrom category. That was a very bad contract the Wild gave him.

great pass Halak lmfao

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

WTF was that?

 

[RangersFan1994]

Hurricsnes was desperate. Skjei is worth a 2ed round pick if that. he isn't very good outside of skating which he seems lazy at it.

 

[Kovalev27]

Outside of Halak throwing an interception to a guy he never saw Boston has completely completely dominated this third period. Starting to look like the team everyone expected.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Ugly injury for Svech.

 

[Kovalev27]

Oh Jesus Svechnikov’s leg just twisted in about 4 different directions

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Svechnikov just broke...

Yeesh that was nasty.

Svechnikov just broke...

Yeesh that was nasty.

He had help from a under the radar cheap play by Chara.

Honestly just looked like a normal battle for position to me.

Honestly just looked like a normal battle for position to me.

Yeah I just saw the replay..at first I thought Chara kicked his leg out a little...But it was just a net front battle.

 

[Kords]

Yeah, sucks to see the kid get hurt but he was battling for position against the biggest dude in the league. Looked like a freak accident to me. He's a confident kid and it's great that he has no problem "fighting" outside his weight class, but it didn't work out well for him last year either vs Ovie.

 

[duhmetreE]

Any word on Rask? Was there family issues?

 

[Edge]

This kid cannot catch a break in the playoffs.

 

[RickChartraw]

Milbury...what's he drinking during the game?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I think that draft pick just got a little bit better, but f*** I'd rather they just lose with out one of their best players and a budding young star suffering a long term and potentially career altering injury.

I hope its just a break.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Who do we need to win other than the Bruins to get the best possible pick in the 1st?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Who do we need to win other than the Bruins to get the best possible pick in the 1st?

Montreal, Vancouver, Arizona, Chicago

[Kovalev27]

The Rangers final F U to Carolina this season will be a first overall pick the 23rd overall pick for Brady Skjei his dumb ass contract and a First round exit.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Who do we need to win other than the Bruins to get the best possible pick in the 1st?

We want a final four of the lowest remaining seeds possible.

CBJ, NYI (yuck), BOS, VAN, AZ, MTL,CHI.

Zona looks completely outmatched, Chicago has a slight chance but I think they're done too, Montreal has a shot because Philly's coach is a moron but the rest of those teams are either up comfortably or in a good spot.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

f*** the draft pick. Isles and Flyers need to be out ASAP. Would also like to not see Vancouver go too far.

Assuming CAR loses to BOS:

ARI is toast = 0
CHI is toast = 0
CGY-DAL either team = +1
VAN is up 2-0 = N/A
NYI is up 2-0 = N/A
MTL is tied 1-1 = N/A
CBJ is tied 1-1 = N/A

Need 4 of these teams to advance.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

f*** the draft pick. Isles and Flyers need to be out ASAP. Would also like to not see Vancouver go too far.

I'm rooting for the Vancouver Columbus final.

Not only is it easy to root for both of those teams, but the amount of whining on the mainboards would be must read material.

Plus, Vancouver doing well and at least getting to the CF hurts the Devils as they have their 1st.

I know we don’t interact with them very much but Vancouver has some of the most obnoxious fans in the league. Would be gross for them to win.
