Glad you're getting in some playoff action. Good luck charm over there.

How do you feel they're playing compared to the big club? Noticeable difference in systems?

- NewYorkNuck

Systems were similar, but from the games I’ve seen they really struggle with hitting the net in the 1st. Shots are wide

what’s noticeable is the physical aspect of the players, everyone hit and not just a glancing blow. Except Mueller he is not as physical but is only 5’11”, he usually centers a line with De Giuseppe and Karlsson, not sure if he will make the NHL but what do I know.

I watched it on flohockey, hirose looks good at this level, Blais was a wrecking ball, Mancini is a wall, lekker looks lost but he made a good defensive play on the wall that created a 3 on 1.
- Bettmanhatesus

Did you see the 1st few minutes, I think Brisebois was in the corner and just threw the puck into the middle…right on a Colorado stick for a point blank shot on Silovs, whole place just groaned and then cheered like hell when Silovs made a fantastic save.

Blais is a wrecking ball for sure, Bains as well.

Sadly, Mark Scheifele's dad passed away last night. Assuming he doesn't play, the Jets are in tuff tonight.
- Pacificgem

Not a chance I would miss the game if I was him. Maybe that's just me, but I would be playing for my Dad 100%
And I have a pretty good idea how he must feel as my Dad passed away this afternoon.

Just read he will be playing, apparently his dad was a huge fan and he would want him to play.

Thanks Sausage King,
One of these days I will have to make to the island for a beer and a improved clinch knot tying session.

I did see it and shook my head. Silovs is a big game goalie it appears, this is the third run of his young career.

He already has - he played 2 games at the end of the season.

Put up great numbers for his 1st pro season as a 21/22 yr old.

Pretty impressive for a 4th rounder 5'11 185 - average size.

He's tenacious, clutch and will continue to improve - found money.

I see Mueller, Sasson, Raty, Mancini, Bains, Klimavich, Kudraseyev having huge upside, untapped potential and cost control/value

Anytime Bro. I've got a great group of friends out here that can pretty much guarantee you'd leave with a decent hangover, memory loss, and unexplained anal chaffing.

So, Dallas and Edmonton in the Western Conference Finals, that's three straight WCF for Dallas and three of the past four seasons for Edmonton to the WCF. Meanwhile, the Canucks have been to the Western Conference Finals three times in their 55 year history... ...

Man it's hard to be a Canuck fan most days!!



Edit: Flyers have been the Eastern Conference Finals 16 times.

Last season.....

Jinxed, infected, rusted and pocked with holes of corrosion.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant....pettiness of millionaires, soft mindsets, all laid to bare....good for conversation, not so much for hockey.


All rear view now....

Coach, WeWillie.....figured.
I expect Pete to hit the ground running, or he's in for a LOOONNGG year.
Trade Garland (squeeze value out)
Keep Quinn (at least another year....)
Give Linus a try(us)


I expect a better team in October.

One of the most legendary voices of my generation. Have 3 albums on vinyl. Might just start the journey while making homemade spaghetti sauce. Thanks for the reminder.
