A simple thumb up wouldn't do this justice. Great news.

Dreger just mentioned the Bruins have interest in Kovalchuk. I really hope that doesn't happen.

One of the leagues I play in goes with 17 running periods with the last 2 minutes of the third stop time if the game is within 1 goal. Longer clock shifts can happen if there are a bunch of whistles.

A deal too good to be true usually is. People chasing savings on these cut rate sticks typically end up spending more and having much eorse experiences than if they just went eith close-out or price point respected manufacturers.

Carlson is most likely gone. He will be fetching huge money on the market as there are basically no other high end defensemen out there this year. There are trade rumors around some guys but nothing else in the free agent market to speak of. And I don't find the past two months to be a waste of time. There were some great series and performances. The only disappointment for me is that the playoffs are over and it is 4 months until puck drop.

I had said back in the second round that I was surprised the Vegas defense hadn't wilted......well, they've started making some costly mistakes and their top scorers are being shut down by the Caps. Maybe the glass slipper doesn't fit after all.

Got it. My brother always had to special order because he was a size 11 with very narrow feet. I'm not sure how he didn't fall over sideways more often.

Never disappointed to get a game 7 at this stage.

"As for me, I might go to a game every now and then, especially if they are playing a team I want to see. I doubt you’ll see me in any of their stuff for a while. After this naming fiasco, they need to do something to earn my support instead of assuming I’ll support them since I live here. I’ll keep supporting the Red Wings like I have done for the last 40+ years." I guess you meant to finish this post off with "jk".

I think you've got something confused with your fit profile. I don't think anyone would describe the Supreme as narrow and low volume but that is what you say you are looking for.

Oh, so now we're fans. Go figure.

Narrow and low volume? I think you're skipping the one CCM that should fit the bill for you with the 70K.

And here I've been told goaltending is mostly irrelevent these days.

Sorry to hear that.

Well, they played like dogshit against Boston in game 1, too.

They offered Lundqvist the chance to be moved and he opted to stay and be part of the rebuild.

Meaning if a team is going into a reload/rebuild situation then there are much better options. Better to bring in a character guy/mentor than a prima donna.

Kopitar would be too busy covering up for Kovalchuk's horrible defensive game to be able to do anything offensively. Dollars to donuts, he doesn't last the entire season with whatever NHL team is dumb enough to sign him.

Means just as little to short-term future.

I do wonder how Carlo would have helped on the back end.

I thought they were a bubble team to start the season so I guess the second round was a bonus.

Series proved 2 things, the Bruins were junk 5 on 5 and Charlie McAvoy is destined for the Hall some 20 years from now.

Least surprising update ever. That looked nasty. I guess that means Holden is back in.

The league confirmed that they haven't said anything to him. I think last night the refs could have matched him and Callahan up and sent a subtle, "knock it off, Brad" message. Give Callahan a rough for the gloves to the face and Marchand an unsportsmanlike and maybe he stops.
