Nash got 2 for Boston today, that's pretty close to his production in the postseason for the Rangers the whole time he was there.

Watching Edmonton NOT get a top 3 pick is like watching the Hawks win the Cup for me now. Seriously.


Man am I relieved.

But, wow...Carolina Whalers really struck lightning to move up that many spots.

They were.

I looked it up. 14 goals in 73 playoff games over 5 seasons for the Rangers.

He was near invisible postseason for us (And I still like him) He stopped scoring but he did a lot of intangibles that are important.

Before outrage over that disallowed Horny goal, I need to point to this rather informative take on puck angles...



So, I think the League made the right call there to disallow the Pens goal.

It wasn't an illusion, it was over the line with white between it before they tried to cover it up, either way, I was much more pissed off about the non-call on the deliberate head shot on Dumolin by Tom WIlson, the dude is a virus and should not be in the league..

I didn't see the part under the video on my phone when I responded. Darn small screens.

It was a good game & I'm glad Vegas finally lost, their fans must have been thinking, playoffs aren't so hard.

lol

Sorry about last night, I was hoping you would sweep.

Yeah, I didn't expect a sweep, I just hope we can recover with the loss of a top D-Man (to a despicable headshot) and hopefully get a couple of our other injured players back, because our depth is really lacking currently with Malkin and Haggy out

Oilers fired/reassigned all of their assistant coaches. Todd McLellan is still head coach.

I'm happy with their decisions regarding keeping Todd and the firings. Not happy about reassigning some of them. If they suck, get them out.

^ Yeah I don't understand that, if they're not good at their job, get rid of them, why reassign them and keep them in the organization?

What's with the stinky fish? Nasty. I'm surprised they're even allowed to bring that in... Unless they each hide a 20 pound fish in their pants...

No hearing for Tom Wilson for his deliberate shot to the head.... This league is a fucking joke, they care nothing about player safety, I'm not surprised, yet it still makes me shake my head...

Pretty much. Saw a headline briefly (swiped it away) on how the guy hides the fish behind his back under his Preds sweater and also partly down his pants.

Yeah there needed to be some sort of penalty for that. Couldn't believe nothing was done.

Then they come out with a video blaming Dumo for getting hit by Ovy and blindsided by Wilson while targeting the head, this league is a fucking joke

So I am a big supported of keeping the big hits in hockey. They can be game changing at times. I have given and taken my share of them when I played hockey as well. That all being said though the hit by Wilson last night is not needed in the game. Those are the ones that need to be removed from the game. That was a dirty hit through and through. The fact there was no penalty makes it even worse. If the league is going to take player safety seriously he needs to be gone for a minimum of 2 game and maybe more. The Penguins player I don't even remember the name has a broken jaw and a concussion directly from that hit.

The game didn't need that hit. It was already an intense even game with great back and forth hockey. It is going to be a great series.

Dude shouldn't have even been in the game last night, if the league actually cared about player safety Wilson would have sat a game for the hit on Dumoulin, instead he's given free reign to do it again. His shoulder makes direct contact with ZAR's cheek and ends up breaking his jaw and giving him a concussion. I don't expect the league to do shit yet again given that he wasn't even assessed a penalty, however I can hope that the league has at least some backbone. Doughty was suspended for a far less aggressive headshot, so I don't know. A star defenseman can be suspended but a career goon who shouldn't even be in the league gets a pass....

Everyone was picking the Preds in the final, but I honestly want to see a Vegas v Jets conf final, that would be one hell of a 7 game series!

So the league announced that DBag WIlson will have a hearing, if they suspend him now they'd have to admit that he's a headhunter, so my guess is they'll just fine him which won't do shit since he's out there deliberately trying to hurt people, but we shall see. If he gets any suspension, it won't be more than 1 game...

Yep, sadly if they would have given him a game or even a hearing after the last hit on Dumoulin, Aston-Reese might not have had his season ended by this douche...

Going to the game tonight, Go Pens! :gheywave:
