day 1 halfway done. Figured I''d start a thread for not just the Rangers games.
Rangers and Canes were rusty on specials (though CAR looked much better), 1 for 14 combined on the PP. Good intensity though, hard hitting game. I thought Hank was great.
I didn't see any of NYI vs FLA, but the score is about what I'd expect from a Trotz team.
PIT came out like a house on fire, Price stood tall and MTL's two youngsters, Kotkaniemi and Suzuki have the Habs with a 2 - 0 lead. momentum is starting to shift to MTL, but PIT can score quickly. MTL defense is a massive Achilles heel.
I think TB will win (my hit rate these playoffs is under 50%, so bet the opposite), but am rooting for Dallas.
And agreed, I want a good series more than anything.
tied up 1 - 1
tied up 1 - 1
Finally someone took a blastat the puck and something happened.
Maybe no all-star break and playing into the summer.

Bettman reiterates what Daly told me and @OvertimeScottB last week: that the NHL still intends to try and play 82 games next season whenever they start...
2 - 1 Stars
rest isn't a bad thing I guess.
I wonder if he gets the gate - giving one up with 10 seconds left in the period.
Sorry, 10 forwards. I eliminated a whole line, lol
I was at that game. :(
Good job of being proven literally immediately wrong lol. Tampa looks incredible.

That’s dumb. Should just play your conference like they did the strike shortened season of 2012 or whenever that was. 4 vs each division and 3 each intradivision so 52 total.
And you can probably have fans If you start mid January
Game 2 tonight. I have my own game so will miss most of it.
08:00pm on NBCSN.
Sort of sad on a Monday night with no new programming other than MNF or American Ninja warrior the NHL can't get carried on a national network.
I see no reason LA doesn't take Byfield at 2, but if they pass on both Byfield and Stutzle they're insane.
And Khudobin is almost playing like Thomas did in 2011.
and a goalie.
I think this will be a boring, forgettable series.
Rumors are Draisaitl.
I think all the finalists earned it, and I wouldn't argue against any of them, but he wouldn't be my pick.

defenseman Adam Fox finished 4th in the Calder voting.
Yeah, I posted the voting above - he was the only one other than Makar and Hughes to get a 1st place vote.
Nick Suzuki is underappreciated.

Cale Makar is only the second player to win both the Hobey Baker Award and Calder Trophy. Chris Drury is the other. Decent.

Didn’t deserve to be behind Blackwood and Marino.
