Petr Mrazek...what. a. save!! 2-1 win.

2-1 Canes, half a period to go!!

Should have asked him if the team learned anything from choking again. "No. We just want paid."

He was, but then he didn't. I dunno if the Flames can come back being down 3-1.

Ya, it's not that bad here. Not like were in Sweden's position or anything. Just tired of all the immigration bulls***. If your not for open borders, your somehow wrong. Immigration is great..if done legally and at controlled levels.

Wealthy drugs and weapons dealers. Who were broke when they got here. Toronto is the new Chicago. Shots goin off round the clock.

Good chance. He only let like 500,000 "asylum seekers" just walk across the border from the States. Even had border officers acting as bellboys, welcome station..whole bit. ******* lunatic.

One of Trudeau's imports?

"AA MUST STAY!"

Rinne choked, like he always does.

Laughs lose another. Boston made it harder on themselves than it had to be though. Can't sit back. 5-2 lead is nothing these days. My buddy called them 'bines. As in bailing combines. lol

Yeah, they need to cut some of those awards out. Hart, Art Ross, Vezina, Calder, Selke, Norris, Adams, Jennings. Than just end it.

Never paid much attention to the Clancy. It's like the award that doesn't really matter when you look back on a players career. Sure isn't getting Cujo or Linden into the HOF. Every team has a player nominated for that thing? How inclusive of the NHL. Everyone gets a shot at a prize.

"Aloha Snackbarrr!!!" "Alohaaaaaa!!" *boom*

"Ken Holland built the team that made the playoffs for a quarter century, dominated for 15-20 years, and won 3 Cups. He led them through a rebuild on the fly in the mid 2000's to another Cup, nearly two. Then the team slowly declined to mediocrity, but that's not on Ken Holland. That's the league these days. That's the salary cap. Has he signed some players to bad deals, of course he has, but he's got that winning drive and is in a league of his own among current GMs. Give him another couple of years, and he'll have the team ending the season with a winning record and a playoff berth." - Same random analyst dude.

Or he could be a spokesman for Oscar Mayer.

No, the core is still there to win it. Just need some more grit and Vaz has to play much better. Regular season effort, no bueno.

Agreed. You'd think by now though, the constant playoff disappointments would have them skating so hard they'd bust through the end boards chasing that Cup. Instead Columbus were the ones out there skating hard. I dunno if they just didn't take Columbus seriously at first, but man, when your down 3-0 in a series, it's time to stop floating.

I can see the comparison, but the '96 Wings actually won two series (the STL series went on way too long, but at least we have the Yzerman Game 7 OT goal to watch for life) and lost in 6 in the West Final. In between a first round loss in '94, Finals loss in '95 and back to back Cups '97-'98. The Bolts lost in the Finals in '15, East Final in '16, missed the playoffs in '17, East Final in '18 and were swept in the first round this year. Seems to be they regress playoff wise more than they progress. You could be right though and they win it all next year, but they need to make some changes.

Well said. The Pens aren't the team they were even two years ago when they won the second of back to back Cups. Sheary, Kunitz, Bonino, Cole, S. Wilson, Hainsey, Daley, Fleury have all moved on. Mostly supporting players, but they all contributed. Fleury basically split the games with Murray 15-11. They don't have that luxury anymore. Lehner really surprised me in goal for NYI. He battled hard. Hopefully he can keep that level of play up.

Damn, i would hope so.

Vaz let in some pretty bad goals too. Wasn't there when they really needed him. He was shaky for a couple months before the season ended according to some Tampa fans. I'm not suggesting they move him, but if they're going to win a Cup, he has to be better. Indeed. lol

Yeah, I was lurking some of their boards last night. Mad meltdown. This made me laugh, that were at that point where an NHL team issues statements like this to their base on social media. Have some damn pride. lol

That's "Dart Guy". He's from Sudbury, name is Jason.
