Washington is my desired team to win the Cup this year. Ovechkin needs to have his name on that thing.

absolutely. But other than Kane, nobody else on that team is making remotely what Toews is. The missed assignments, giveaways, etc are much harder to swallow from the 10.5M guy than the 2.5M guy

Yeah his stellar leadership and defensive skills were on full display in this series /sarcasm

who would want to pay 10.5M for <60 points a season? Personally I think its one of the worst contracts in the league right now.

wait... ever? Like in the history of the NHL this has never happened before?

honestly I'm with ya. I like all the NBC crew other than that Blackhawks' slappy

oh how sweet it would be to see Chicago swept from the first round. Frankgrimes would have a fit.

His players would have the best knowledge of where their opponents grew up and played.

If the Caps don't win the Cup I want the Leafs to.

this series.

This one pains me to see in round 1. The Caps and Leafs are the two teams from the East I wouldn't mind advancing to the finals.

Has anything creepy or unexplained ever happened to you? Do people give you weird looks when you try to explain what you saw? Does any of the following apply to you? -Experienced things that move on their own -Saw silhouette or out of focus entity in a place where no entity should be -Got the heebyjeebies OR perhaps you simply enjoy the catecholamine release, the feel of your heart racing, the piloerection, and the sense of impending doom reaching out for your soul when you read about these experiences and stories. If any of the above apply, THEN THIS THREAD IS FOR YOU Here we will share scary and unexplained things that have happened to us or our loved ones, or creepy stories exclusively in the realm of fiction if we prefer. All are welcome! RECOMMENDED TO READ AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS OFF UNDER TENT OF BLANKETS AND FLASHLIGHT note: because there are only 3 people in the water cooler, multiple entries are encouraged. note: this thread was inspired in part by a previous scary story thread that was posted in the water cooler years ago. I will share my story that I posted in that thread, but I will spice it up a bit to add to the story-telling. note: as mentioned above, you don't have to necessarily have experienced anything yourself to participate. The story could be something that a friend or family member experienced, or even just a made up scary story that has stuck with you through the years! The point of this thread is to DELIVER THE SPOOKY

Not the first time either. After winning the cup in 2014, they missed the playoffs altogether the very next season with largely the same roster. No thanks to Sutter (although I do think he's an upgrade over Blashill).

Franzen too? That's a relief.

He's already been set up to be the next whipping boy, simply by virtue of him not being Chychrun. I'm calling it now.

We could always use more moxie on the squad. Consider yourself in, but wait for official positioning until we get more of the roster fleshed out and figure out where we are lacking.

Crosby might not be there though. Do you have any other skills besides bruising? Otherwise we're slotting you in as an extra man.

LGW already has one line ready to go

LGW should assemble a roster to submit to the olympics for US. I play forward, playmaker, responsible defensively, not a bruiser.

This one is doubly painful to win, both in that we get further away from a desirable draft pick and Tampa's odds of making the playoffs increase.

lol I love when Mickey is in a good mood. Its so infectious

how does Svech look

Tough act to live up to

it would be a hell of a protest if all the top players sat out that time
