Dress no players of value and get healthy for next week.

You say this, yet I fully expect both McDavid and Draisaitl to dress. Probably Frederic too.

I fully expect the Bakersfield Condors to show up. Not score. But be in the arena.

What, no Skinner?

I didn’t see the game last night- was the x check by Nurse that bad?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Drai wasn't even on the list? In what world is Kaprizov better?

Kaprizovs mom had 1 vote.

 

[KlefDown]

must be in that "other" 17%

You'd think the mains voted on the poll

Anybody have some intel or speculation as to the dates of the Oilers/Kings games for the first round?

I think the general media consensus is it will start on Sunday or Monday night and that's all we know now.

On this note, it drives me crazy that the league doesn't try and get the schedule out ASAP around Easter and May long weekends in the playoffs. It's a domestic political nightmare trying to dance around the Easter dinner plans of your in laws that don't give a rip about hockey. I get that nothing is in stone until it's in stone, but even some scenarios would be nice. "If Team A plays Team B game 1 is Sunday, but if Team A plays Team C it will be Tuesday." Even that would be helpful.

Hard to imagine isn't it.

The Lakers also have their playoff games too..

My guess is Sunday Tuesday Thursday Saturday for the first 4.

I hope Carrick gets some minutes with Nurse out.

He's been a sparkplug for Bako. 2nd in the league in goals for defensemen. Definitely deserves a cup of coffee as a reward.

And the clippers. Going to be a shit show.

Clippers have their own arena.

See my post above. Looks like he will play.

Did Shames just get eliminated? Minnesota won and will play Vegas in the Pacific pool.

Nah Clippers play in their own barn.

Yep. They are calling their travel agents between the 2nd and 3rd to get good seats on the first flights out of Shelbyville tomorrow morning.

Hopefully Monday, another day to rest.
