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...

It was an obvious call. Surprised it was even called a goal on the ice...

No they didn't Ray...that's absolutely the wrong call. If that's too many men, every game would be a PP fest after 45 seconds of each period...

I can't believe none of that went in...

Crotch still can't catch passes...I still hope he has a 55 goal series.

Lomberg made contact first.

I noticed Vlad Tarasenko is listed on Florida's first line... I had no idea he was even playing these playoffs. Is he even doing anything?

Meh...here and there, but he looks pretty old...

Forsling stops the go-to Panarin move at one end and leads the rush to get a primary on the Tkachuk opening salvo...always liked that player.

Jo(h)n Gruden also re-signed: 2 yrs, $775k per.

Kral was 4th among d-men scoring in Liiga last year, and led in plus/minus at +28. I'll see if I can find a game later tonight...

Last I saw, he's a bigger LHS d-man, good shot, not a very good skater. Got a couple NHL games last year, he's a late 1999. Maple Leafs 5th round pick, so Dubas just re-acquiring guy that he liked. Which I'm good with... Speaking of (from the previous regime)... We also signed Jack St. Ivany to a th...

We signed Filip Kral from Pelicans Lahti.

LHS d-man, one year deal.
