Happy birthday buddy, enjoy it

What is the point of JVR anymore?

According to the NHL Edge stuff, he's like the fastest player in the league or something...maybe I'm misremembering...but the dude is looks like he's dragging a piano behind him is ultra fast...

Where do bottom six players come from? They are top line junior players that fail down but adapt. Sam Steel is a great example. 1st round pick and terrific junior and even minor league scorer. Defense is the converse of offense. If you know how to manipulate players offensively, you know how to stop...

@mikey did not craig smith retire about 7 yrs ago?

I'm not sure about retired, but I forgot about him existing after Nashville...I actually thought I forgot that players name and this was another player haha

He still has wheels for his assumed age...credit there. He's working his bag off...

Edmonton reminds me of the 1996 Pens. Two of the best players in the world. Some top six support and then a bunch of inconsistent tards throughout the rest of the lineup...I wouldn't trust half their roster to get me a glass of water...

We could improve our bottom six with Ondrej Kase and Lukas Sedlak imo... I saw an article about Kase returning and thought the same. Is he back to being fully healthy now, or is this a "one more concussion and he's probably done for good" situation? I can't imagine a player with multiple head injur...

Damn, Barkov deserved that one, what a shift.

You're not kiddin...that was Crosby vs Otttawa stuff...

Do you think it's a case of the optics not matching up with the rule book? Yeah, like, you can't protect the puck by just leaning your head over your knees. For me, Kulikov has a majority of contact through the body, there isn't an upward and intentional force towards the head, I think he's committ...

I was caught between nothing and a minor.

Who is thinking about this kind of deal right now? The draft is over a month away...

I guess the Isles are gonna use that extra 2nd to do something...?

I wondered how Evan Bouchard was only given "credit" for 6 giveaways in this playoffs going into the game last night... Midway through the first overtime, he passes the puck 5 feet ahead to Dallas Star Logan Stankoven, who walks inside the dots and shoots on Skinner. This was not counted as a giveaw...

The important goals thing is something I've dabbled with for skaters and for goalies... Once I pick Python back up again, I'll probably be able to make some in-roads on that... I'm skeptical of the "not so important" thing...not because I'm good at sex by any means, but sometimes these numbers-led f...

First win past the second round for the McDavids...

*watches clip of someone shooting with traffic in front*

"They gotta move it around, make better plays!"

*team passes it around, making seam passes*

"They gotta simplify, just get traffic to the net and shoot!"

I'll say 14 minutes...

Wow...

I didn't see the replay, but that whole thing was silly at live speed...Bouchard gives it away, as usual...starts a sudden change situation, Bouchard interferes with the Dallas player...then the pucks goes into the corner, and Ekholm takes his helmet off...also a penalty. So the player goes off, and...

Tanev is murdering his team

That might be the first or second ES goal Tanev has been out for all playoffs I think...and he's played a ton.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm not sure about their clustering, I'd like to see a longer list of those players on their page 138, PDF page 142.

Their young player - who missed six months with head injuries - just comes back (well, second game) and he gets bodied in the last second of the game at home and no one so much as belches in the general direction of Niko Mikkola or Miko Nikkola whatever his name is...hmph... I bet we see Rempe in ga...

Kiss the ****, NY...

What a finish by Laffy...
