@Captain Dave Poulin

Bahahaha. Imagine being behind him at the team buffet. Hungry Leafs are completely f***ed.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Fat f***.

 

[Rebels57]

Fat f***.

You finally came around and see it my way

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They got this Babcock impersonator to sit behind Columbus’ bench.

 

[Cody Webster]

Fat f***.

Amazing to hear Edwards actually agree with the call, even though it was as obvious of a call as they come

 

[CutOnDime97]

What a pass from Korchinski

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Fat f***.

Should be 8-10, will be 2-4.

Bruins fans will be calling for OEL to be suspended for some reason.

 

[Cody Webster]

Man, really unfortunate

 

[Rebels57]

Im not sure I can defend that hit on Johnson anymore as a freak accident. We can now show an established pattern of throwing out his leg to impede a player after missing a hit. Obviously he didnt mean to hit his neck but this guy should not be playing Hockey anymore. Hes beyond reckless.

He 100% stuck his leg out in order to make contact with Johnson some how since he wasnt able to connect with his shoulder/body. While I doubt he wanted to hit him with his skate in the neck, he's still responsible for his actions and should be served a lifetime suspension from playing pro hockey

Man, really unfortunate

Don't worry. They will be gifted with the 1AO pick next summer

Accidentally saw the video. I have no idea how you get your skate that high off the ice during a natural play.

Man, that looks eerily similar to the hit the other day. The only difference this time is his leg rode up the shaft of Johnson's stick

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Arizona wins 8-1. Keller Hayton Schmaltz combined 0 points and each player -1. Getting killed in fantasy this week and it’s Tuesday haha

 

[Curufinwe]

This guy seems like a find

I have no idea how I missed this but the NHL walked back their pride tape ban last week! Yay!

Whoever thought of banning it in the first place should have their head completely wrapped in pride tape for the next year.

I think they might have tape for brains, but at least someone got smart

 

[ajgoal]

I still don't understand how they could ban it, as the rulebook allows tape of any color.

 

[renberg]

Man, really unfortunate

Look for Sullivan to get canned in Pittsburgh and brought on by Tortorella. HC in waiting when Torts bounces up the ladder.

Exactly. It was cowardly and absurd to begin with. Just another domino from the Provorov fallout. They went from Hockey Is For Everyone to dramatically overreacting to the fact that not all players want to support the LGBTQ community. Just because some don't, doesn't mean you should put a nix on all signs of support. What a bunch of twats.

Those are disgusting helmets

Vegas is a strange team to me. On paper they aren’t what I’d think of as a Stanley Cup winning team or top team in the league, but here we are. I guess that speaks to their depth more than anything. I’m still completely unsure how to feel about Eichel as a player. He’s obviously good but their is a part of me who feels he’s a bit overrated

Cassidy is an asshole but he's also a good HC, he got Vegas to buy into blocking shots and doing what it took to win last year. They're a team built for the playoffs.

Montgomery has done a great job in Boston in the regular season, but they went belly up in the playoffs, remains to be seen if this season will be another smoke and mirrors job or last year's PO performance was just one of those things.
