Why are Cousins and Lomberg healthy scratches?

The Panthers have a complete 5th line ready to roll if needed. They learned from last season. They also have backup goalies ready to play if needed. The team is much larger than you see on the ice.

 

[Dread Clawz]

Fun fact, Forsling played 10:34 in the 3rd period. That's insane.

 

[Clearthepuck]

For fun.. add in Ceci.

Almost 20 mill for Campbell, nurse and Ceci. And that is exactly why I get pissed when people say McDavid needs to back check more.

Any team you can pick 2-3 contracts that suck, if they did not have or regret they would be the perfect team. Bad contracts is not an excuse

What is your definition of much? There are 20 players suited of a maximum 23 player roster.

NM.....forgot post season roster expansion lol. (and ignoring those in the system but not on roster)

Everyone used to complain about Bob’s contract. He is definitely worth 10 million now.

 

[Nasti]

Indeed. Even down 0-3, Connor is the best player in the world. If anyone could drag his team to victory, it's him... One series doesn't change that.

I'm just happy Barkov is being seen on the big stage. Because defense is harder to quantify, people tend to rate names like Mack and Matthews above him or pretend it isn't close. Barkov belongs with the cream of the crop.

Bergeron
Kopitar
Toews
ROR

Hopefully, Barkov will join them soon. A defensive center does seem to be one way to build a champion.

I said this in another thread but if the Panthers pull it off, 10 of 19 cup winners since the 2005 lockout will have done it with Selke winning centers.

Lets just wrap this up tonight so I can get into my draft research!

Oilers in 7.

I'll take that bet.

For the first time ever I wanna see the Smythe shared between two players. I just can't pick one. They both have been so integral to Florida's success.

It will be a crime to leave out either Barkov or Bob for the Smythe IMO

Disagree. Bobrov is good , not great. The Florida defense props him up. Rags have what an elite goalie looks like. Course that doesn't matter to FLA.

It's actually a very easy decision.

Oilers in 7.

Yep - that was my prediction all along too.

 

[behemolari]

It's no surprise McDrai are out of gas, the Canucks forced them to be overplayed, and this was the predicted, inevitable outcome.

And they don't help themselves, expending as much energy whining to refs when they should be mentally preparing for the next puck drop. Sad and embarrassing all 'round - Bettman and Daly for the joke they have turned "officiating" (read: rigging games) into, the refs themselves for not having the integrity to call the rulebook and be held to account, and McDrai for playing that game.

As I said in the second round, win or lose the Canucks had a successful season and Tocchet would win the Adams, while the oil had been dealt a death blow. Holland will be gone, Knoblwhateveritsspelled will be gone by the end of next season, as will Drai soon to be followed by McDavid himself.

Sports is great entertainment, isn't it?

The finals are rigged for who exactly? Honestly asking

Forsling and Barkov have nothing to do with this, I repeat, nothing to do with this. This is a plot by the refs and the league to sabotage the Oilers.

Now…..let’s give Edmonton more 1st overall picks.

How many had a vezina winner in net?

I dont get the idea, mcdavid, draisaitl, hyman, nugent-hopkins, bouchard left scoreless on purpose, who is benefitting and how

Waiver wire pickup to best defensive dman in the entire league and top pair defenseman …. WOW THUG LIFE !

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Let’s wrap this up tonight because it’s ridiculous that the 4th game of a 7 game Stanley cup final series is in the middle of June.

The Final should be over and done with by June 1st, never going to happen, but it should.

I’ve never seen where FL was in the waiver claim line. How many teams could’ve snagged this guy before Zito said thank you very much Carolina, I’ll take him.
