Who needs goaltending? Have to wonder if these 2 teams will ever have a 3-1 score. If D wins games, what if neither team plays D? The 2 elite goalies go tonight. Much better hockey I'd wager.

You missed Dube and Ruzicka. Dube for sure is a lock with a good contract and is only 23. He hasn't plateaued yet.

I have Kreider too. So Zib>Panarin and Fox. I don't love your odds;) Quite the race at the top.

I was really hoping for a Shesterkin vs Vasilevsky East final once Vas blew everybody up. Got my wish:) I kept saying the Canes are pushing their luck taking Shesterkin down to one must win game. I expect a fierce goalie battle. Should be epic. High shot volumes, low scoring. Not a series I'd bet on. The West goalies...meh...but Edmonton, I'm guessing, is in huge trouble. For all of the high-falutin' scoring, the AVS can be a nasty, nasty team.

Nice to see pikey & Rsquared ignored NYR players;) But they have Draisaitl, so it's time for an AVS sweep. I'm cheering for a NYR vs AVS series.😁

Holland was great in the no cap era. He has struggled mightily since. Left Detroit in an abysmal situation. Also of note, his draft record in Detroit was also abysmal with 1st and 2nd rd busts. Yzerman went to TBay because Holland refused to move to upper mgmt, so there's that too. While Stevie built Tampa, Holland collapsed HockeyTown with all sorts of bad signings/drafting. At a time when Lidstrom, Datsyuk and Zetterberg were still fantastic, he couldn't figure out how to manage the cap.

I think I'm 199 RD. Was 195, 4 pts from Rangers last night: Fox 2 Kreider 1 Panarin 1

Is Rosie back?

How about the Dube charging penalty? The NHL is unwatchable. I'm going to follow that script.

Thanks Toronto/League office. Thanks for an unwatchable product.

it's 11:30. 1 period to go. I get up at 5:30. Stop Blockchaining me around until 1am. Win.

Agreed.

Just when I was calling this league unwatchable for the Dube penalty.

I watched the Heat youtube channel. Indeed, it was Kerins and Pelts celebrating Phillips' goal in game 1. Highlights are scant though. Just goals, really. Can't find toi, faceoff data that might be helpful. Hopefully he's doing well. He certainly looks like it's straight into the fire, which is likely okay. The Spits are still alive, otherwise: "Hold my beer" - Wyatt Johnston, probably. If the Texas Stars mattered.

Markstrom tonight (this gif never gets old lol) https://imgur.com/vdLE8dJ

And may this not be the last time I say this! GFG

Wow did St Loo come out fighting in the 3rd. We may have a series!

Wow, talk about giving the kid the keys to the ferrari.lol Good for him, big ask, but he's a smart player. He doesn't runaround forcing offence like most big point guys do. Led the O in faceoffs taken so he can likely hold his own. I'm shocked but happy. Now I have to catch a game. 2 Wolf SOs 2 Kerins starts....coincidence? Yes. Without question it's just a coincidence.lol

+1 Wow if true. Gawdin must be injured. Can't say I expected that. I like that line though. Perhaps Pelts-Kerins being attached at the hip moving fwd could be delicious.

Don't get too high, don't get too low.lol We can win 3, just like they just did.

I'm still oddly calm. Only caught the 30 minute replay this morn, games are just too late for my sked rn. How bad was Kyl? The 30 min replay didn't reflect well. Does he sit next game or what? Him and Stone out with 3:30 left is a head-scratcher. Move Tkacuk to Backlund?

The Soo never really used him in a scoring role from the couple playoff games I watched. For all of the reg season pts he racked, even more impressive was he was their main defensive center all year. Hence his +/- wasn't great, always vs the opponent's best line. At some point I'll sit up half the night and catch a game. Get past Colorado, and Chicago likely next, more my time zone.

Nice to see Kerins get in for both games now. Even prolly 4C/limited mins. He's good defensively, this level is a different beast though.

Quoted for speaking my language!
