NHL: Around the League 49

Nichuskin is set to get paid--even if the goal is overruled.

Keumper pooping the bed.

Cool turnaround game. What's not to like about both of these teams? There's only two things missing, and that is one of the teams is missing a certain logo on their jersey, and a player with a jersey number of . . .

Nice to see the Lightning making this a series.

Nichuskin is set to get paid--even if the goal is overruled.

And I feel like whoever signs him, will be disappointed in the ROI.

Auston Matthews wins the hart

 

[x Tame Impala]

McDavid fans will be maaaaad but I’m glad Matthews got his Hart. Great for USA hockey!

My boy Makar got his Norris too

Much as I've always enjoyed a good hockey fight, there's now evidence it does not prevent other violent on-ice behavior.

Fighting will probably be a suspension by the end of the decade.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

This has been obvious for a long time. We all saw it here first hand when John Scott was on the team. Other teams didn't give a single f*** that the Hawks had the best fighter in the league on their team they gladly tried to run Kane and Toews on the regular anyway.

I love Hockey fights. The worst development in the last 20 years is the visor. Hockey is a brutal, visceral, manly sport. Let's not let the p***yfication of society. I know people get hurt, concussions, Blah, Blah Blah, but there's not much more exciting than when one of your team's players stands up for a teammate. Man up!

You can't just blah blah blah past brain damage.

Kadri in.... will make a difference.

Kadri in.... will make a difference.

If he's healthy.

 

[BobbyJet]

If he's healthy.

Offensively, it looks like Kadri can't shoot but that doesn't mean he won't be a factor as a shutdown guy who gets under the ops skin.

The old adage.... the winner tonight wins the SC.

 

[ClydeLee]

So lame Kadri is back.

Love that people were somehow bashing as if Hagel wasn't critical for Tampa

 

[Hakoon]

Granted

I’ve complained about it before but man this ESPN broadcast of the SCF is so bad top to bottom it’s just so frustrating.


I miss Doc and Eddie.

No idea why the NHL went with a network that hasn't covered hockey in like 2 decades. Then said network just decided to throw a staff together of "hockey names", basically with like no broadcast experience. It's pretty much unwatchable when I've tuned in.
