Around the NHL: PTO Season Becomes Waiver Season

[Ehran]

Did Benn *really* just say he wished he hadn't "fallen" on Stone and used his "stick as a landing point"?

Seriously?

Looking increasingly likely that a former Sabre's 2OA pick will win the cup.

Which one is the question.

Well-played...

I suppose this is his weak excuse he's using with DoPS to avoid a playoff game suspension. So now he's got to try and be consistent with his lies.

Never look back. Our future is stellar.

I wish them both well. (If either makes the Final.)


Gary thinks divisional rivalries are best.

I agree they need to do away with those for the playoffs.

The 1980s divisional playoff format sucked (Adams & Norris winners in the Wales / Eastern final, Patrick and Smythe winners in the Campbell / Western final).

Seed 1-8 in each conference. Or guarantee home ice for the division winners up to the Conference finals (if the top seeds win, the division winners won't meet until the conference finals). Even re-seed after each round. Either way, get more cross-division playoffs This year, two Round 1 series in the East and West would have flipped teams under that format. CAR and FLA would have met in the 2nd round and VGK vs SEA with re-seeding and no divisional format.

Nhl network is telling me all about the lack of support Jack had in Buffalo. Meanwhile every former goddamned Sabre has been tearing up the playoffs.

they didn’t have goaltending and they had the worst coaches in history

on ice? We need to drop this narrative.

Two games for Benn.

I would have liked to see the NHL absolutely drop the hammer on Benn for this.............

Hopefully his teammates give him a blanket party, or something close. Captain?? The janitor is probably a better example to follow...whether he/she can skate or not.

I truly hope that the VGK beat the living shit out of the Stars tomorrow night....and that Benn has to wait like 5 months for his suspension to be over.

what a f***ing dirtbag.

1-0 Florida less than a minute in.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

And the way Bob has been going, that's probably game.

Edit: That is an unfortunate result of a clean hit. Damn that was hard.

We had Ullmark and Lehner we had Ristolainen as our top D-man for several years lmao.

That's the most Umberger hit since Umberger.

 

[oldgoalie]

2-0

 

[KiwiGriff]

 

[oldgoalie]

2-1. Weird bounces and deflections.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

I guess I’m always a bit surprised that Bennett and Gudas “only” weigh about 200 lbs. they play such heavy games, I assume they’re bigger.

Also, hate head injuries but that’s also just.. there’s somethin about fully taking a dude off his feet with a clean hit. Beautiful in the same way bullfighting is?

Anyways, Burns with a cupcheck on Tkachuk.

 

[Chainshot]

Coughing up his oysters after that one.

Coughing up his oysters after that one.

That’s over the f***ing line.

 

[oldgoalie]

2-2. f***. I want the Canes swept and gone.

 

[oldgoalie]

War of attrition going on there.

 

[oldgoalie]

Cane’s d is shit. 3-2 Fla.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Cane’s d is shit. 3-2 Fla.

Missing Slavin certainly doesn't help.

Work has been interrupting my hockey viewing.

To be fair, it's a small target and he wasn't even looking at what he was doing. I don't think he intended that.
