Have to love how this team came out of the break. Most enjoyable hockey of the season IMO.
Orchids are tough. We’ve had orchids forever, and we’re only now getting one to grow new flowers.
Congrats.
They have been a little testy it’s been nice to see.Have to love how this team came out of the break. Most enjoyable hockey of the season IMO.
That pick of Padre Pio will do it. Life is good.They died over the summer and now they're back. Within the last week they sprouted.
Must be good luck!

Good eye! Absolutely!That pick of Padre Pio will do it. Life is good.
They are making this up because they realize they got the rule wrong about interference outside the crease. If something like this happens in a playoff game, I will be needing a new TV for sureRasmussen’s stick hit Swayman’s glove before Carlos actions tho
That’s what I’m not understanding
OT: Bear with me.
This is a league office intent on ridding the NHL of any and all physicality or emotion.
We saw a chippy, nasty tilt on New Year's Eve, yes?
We saw multiple scrums, after the whistle business, and Trent Frederic inviting Ben Chiarot to dance immediately after Freddie's goal.
And yet, as has been the case for a decade at least, watching NHL game highlights, or even TSN highlights, you would never know that was the case.
You would see, as I did in reviewing these highlights, goals and saves. That's it. No emotion. No physical play. No scrums, no hate. We're all gentlemen here.
Rather, Goals! Goals! Goals! To a lesser degree, save here, save there.
This is the "product" the NHL has been pushing since Bettman's arrival and the advent of CTE, which has exposed the league to culpability, and therefore financial liability. Hence, the gradual abolishment of fighting and removal of the game's nasty North American roots.
What the league wants is a game entirely drained of genuine emotion, physical play and bad blood. They want fancy Dan's and flashy goals, the more the better. They want European "hockey." Touch football, as it were.
Unless you watch a game, you don't know what actually happened, because everything has been sanitized.
You have to rely on Dafoomie or, if you're lucky, bits & pieces on YouTube.
Endless ticky-tack calls ("Breathing on opponent. Two minutes"); an absurdly tortuous "Coach's challenge" guaranteed to suck the life out of any building; a bad joke known as the "Department of Player Safety," the crass, crowd-pleasing shoot out.
Ladies and gentlemen, your NHL.
Are you not entertained?

Challenge Initiated By: Boston
Type of Challenge: Goaltender Interference
Result: Call on the ice is upheld – Goal Detroit
Explanation: After video review, it was determined that the actions of Brandon Carlo contributed to Detroit’s Michael Rasmussen’s stick making contact with Jeremy Swayman’s glove outside the crease and therefore, did not constitute goaltender interference. The decision was made in accordance with Rule 69.1 which states, in part, that the goal should be allowed because “Incidental contact with a goalkeeper will be permitted, and resulting goals allowed, when such contact is initiated outside of the goal crease…”
Penalty: 2:00 minor penalty: Delay of Game – Unsuccessful Challenge
Get rid of all your TV's, LOLI only watched from the 11:05 mark of the second until the end of the second, when they played poorly, got screwed by the refs, and were scored upon twice in an 8:55 stretch. I am superstitious, so I turned it off, and they played better and won. Draw your own conclusions. lol
