Watching the Luongo jersey retirement in Florida... his daughter is a clear picture of Roberto as a girl.

Line Brawl in Boston.

 

[Rebels57]

That vaunted Rangers D cost them again

 

[Prongo]

Why the f*** would you play Kassian with McDavid.

 

[Prongo]

I know Burky gets a ton of shit around here but I have to say the guy does have his priories straight. Extremely inclusive and a good guy. Too bad he thinks the game like a damn dinosaur.

 

[Starat327]

Why the f*** would you play Kassian with McDavid.

So you can overinflate his stats then overpay him, obviously.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Oh boy. Columbus cannot buy a goal tonight

 

[OzFlyers]

CBJ playoffs hopes sinking fast.

Today’s Rooting Interests:
Hurricanes vs Penguins
Lightning vs Red Wings

*The Flyers are making it. Time to keep the Rangers out/have a potential good first round matchup.

We beat Rags two times just last week. Do you remember? Im no worry about Rags. I dont want Islanders in first round.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Not really. 12 months seems like a pretty kind estimate for the amount of time he should go away.

Let me clarify... not worried at all about them, but it’s way more fun to be in the playoffs while your rivals are miserably watching from the sidelines.

They were also without their best goalie both games. They had been rolling with Igor in net.

9-2 .931 SV% 2.56 GAA

We have Hart. Im not worry about battle Hart-Shesterkin. Depth would be a difference and we have much better depth. As I said I wouldnt have problem with Rangers in first round. Especially with home-ice advantage.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I get we have a better season record against the Rangers than the Isles but that stuff is irrelevant to me. I rather take the lesser talented team that has been struggling down the stretch which is the Isles.

I’m not particularly scared of any of the Rangers, Hurricanes, Islanders, or Blue Jackets. That doesn’t necessarily mean they couldn’t beat us but I’m just not really worried about any of them going into it. Maybe I’d be more concerned with the Hurricanes & Blue Jackets if they were actually relatively healthy.

And I think Isles are better team for playoffs hockey. They have Trotz, big boys, and playoffs system. Just dump, dump and dump. I prefer Rangers with trash defense.

Isles have better defense (system).

But yes, at the end we have to beat anyone if we want make second round. Simple.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Cannot take anything for granted in the playoffs. Anything can happen even if you think you match up well with a certain team.

I like the guy in the comments on that tweet trying to rationalize this from a Sens standpoint. Like Little actually really valued his job at the point when he said that to Melynk.

11 mins left in the 2nd period and pens now have their 6th power play

Same as it ever was.

PPs 6-2 and 5-1 vs the caps yesterday. Doesn’t surprise me one bit.
