[NyQuil]

With Doc working on it, sure..

Doc Emerick?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Doc Emerick?

No, no...
We want to time travel quickly......not spirit, knife, shuffleboard, or waffle our way though time....

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

No, but you can drive it home from the rink for repairs and stop at a Tim Horton's drive-thru with it on your way home.

This actually happened. I stumbled upon some article that was something about the "most Canadian headlines ever" and one of them was "Man Drives Zamboni to Tim Horton's Drive-Thru."

...it's happened more than once in Nova Scotia alone...when you need a Tim's, you need a Tim's...

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Sigh...
Well, Adam Fox did NOT deliver for my fantasy squad. Just a big fat -2.
Luke Hughes got me an assist point and a PP point at least.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Greig took away the 2nd guy. Huge play

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Over in Ottawa, Sens went from limping around games, to playing playoff type hockey against the Lightning, and now the Panthers.

Good for them.
They are gonna need every ounce of OOOOMMMPPHHH they can muster if they are gonna make noise in the post season.

They are playing good hockey but they are flawed. And one of the biggest flaws is the inexperience. When things start going wrong for them they tend to go into deep slumps. If they lose the first few games of a series what happens?

 

[Czechboy]

The Kings? Come on. We probably have 7 games with them in 2 weeks.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The Panthers are officially fraudulent. They are so lucky they managed to luck into that cup

They did luck into a playoff spot when Sniveling Sid choked.

Especially if we have to play every game at an away arena.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Womp Womp

and the Hab's fan says thanks you to the Devils.

The jinx worked. Devils win. Devils win.

I love zamboni stuff, even the occasional cases of CLUI(cleaning ice under the influence) can be somewhat amusing.




Bergie and Razor on I-93:

That Rangers club plays slow. Not too sure if giving up so much for JT Miller was the right move, considering the direction of the team.

 

[Golden_Jet]

What would have been the icing on the cake is Joe Rogan having one of the bears in a rear naked choke hold.

Everyone knew this but the Rangers. The Canucks look even worse for moving the pick again. Dubas is going to end up with a top 10 pick for Pettersson lol

[HabsQC]

Can't believe we're in the mix and on the good side of it (for now).

Just thrilled to watch this kind of hockey in April. It's been a while.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I legit hate this about the schedule. Especially when they end the season against the team you face in round 1

 

[Ugene Magic]

Let's Go Dallas!

 

[Fatass]

Panthers looking like a club that just wants the regular season over so they can play games that matter.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Panthers can't even score when they are allowed to walk right in on net.

I agree.

Overall playoff experience is something they are just gonna have to get through actual playoff games.
Seeing as how the team hasn't been there in some time, well, it will be new for all but the vets that have seen it elsewhere.

Still though, for a team that many had missing the playoffs yet again, this is a good spot to be in.
Add to that, they may get a shot at the Leafs, and well, anything is possible.

But you are absolutely right about when they face adversity. Easy for an inexperienced squad to implode when those things happen.
That's where guys like Claude Giroux, David Perron, and maybe an Adam Gaudette come into play behind the scenes...keeping the younger players' emotions in check.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I'm convinced Forsberg would be a starter/1A without his Raanta'esque injury troubles..

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Should have been a penalty shot for Florida

If they can keepTkachuk from going bananas when they are still in a game they may be dangerous. And if Ullmark plays as well as he has in the regular season.
