Personally, I would rest the stars on the Bruins. Health is the most important thing next.

They've been resting 2/3 guys every night for the last week or so. I think Sunday will be a big day off after playing NJ on Saturday

Bruins get win number 62. Interesting play at the end. Pasta tried a wraparound with about 5secs left in the game. It was deflected away and time eventually ran out. What is the technical rule if this went in? Is it too bad the game is over or do they send everyone back on the ice.

You have to see white between the goal line and puck, very hard to see there, but I didn't see white

I agree. No evidence to show it was a goal, just curious what the rule is.

EDIT:Hypothetically after the game ends can they review it? And if it is a goal do they bring everyone back on the ice to play out the remaining 5secs even though it had no impact on the outcome

Yes, I've seen it happen where they call players back on the ice, but like you said when it has no impact on the game they're less likely to review it

Pens can't beat the team with the worst record in the league, they don't deserve to make the post season

Yeah, you beat me to this post RE: yesterday's loss to the Hawks...Not sure what happened.

Though, to be precise, Hawks have the THIRD worst record I believe now.




@ Hawks...can't even tank properly.

Their chances for Bedard went from 25% to 11.5% with that win

Clearly, they need to talk to Edmonton on how to tank properly for th #1 overall pick.

Seriously, Hawks should've rested many of their starters yesterday and for the rest of the season...use it to 'evaluate' the prospects. What were they doing trying to be competitive with the Pens?

And the longest playoff streak in professional sports is over, it's bittersweet, but I hope that it forces real change in the Pens organization

Holy cow...can't believe the Pens are not in the dance. I seriously had them in it and probably advancing to the 2nd round at the worst.

Indeed, end of an era.

Post Blackhawks Will Not Re-Sign Toews

This was a gut-punch to read...He is my favorite hockey player in this modern era and without him, there are no Cups. Wow.

Wow, speaking of end of an era... I know what he's meant to you and your team for so long, I can't imagine losing a generational talent like him, wow just wow

This hurts more than Keith and Kane going. Toews is the Crosby to your Pens...heart and soul of the team and essentially, the driver that helped win those Cups. No Toews, no Cups. Simple.



Part of the suckage of being a sports fan, hey? Nothing lasts forever. I wonder what Toews will do...retire or go to a contending team to anchor their 3rd line? Knowing how it plays out, watch him go to Tampa or Denver. Rich get richer...

Oof...Kadri, Gabe...there's been a hit on the depth on the Avs -- which would've been okay if the Captain was able to return -- but, now? Hmmm...is this the year Edmonton gets somewhere?

Who am I kidding, it's the Oilers.

This...this is why he's my favorite player and despite growing up a Hawks fan as a kid. This is why he overtakes players of my childhood like Larmer, Roenick, Savard, Chelios, Belfour...

Anyways, the last few seasons have been difficult as more members of the fantastic core has left but this one is the hardest...hockey is still a beautiful sport for me but, as a Hawks fan, this will take awhile to recover.

I don't understand or agree with the team's decision to not bring him back.

For sure he is definitely the Crosby to the cawks, I can't imagine Chicago without Toews or Pittsburgh without Crosby

Yeah, totally underperformed. Pens were NOT in a rebuild so, I'm still stunned they were ousted. Dunno -- do you think the fix is easy?

East, holy...very hard to pick for me. It is a toss-up right now between the Rangers, Bolts, Canes, and Bruins. I really really really want the Canes to make it to the dance but I don't know if they have enough jam and size. I will sleep on who my pick out East is...report back soon.

Sid has 2 more years on his current deal I believe, as long as Sid is here we should be in the playoffs
