damn, Vegas wins in OT

Bummer.  I was hoping for Avalanche.  Not that I care that much.  I just don't care for Vegas


Go Isles

[alta]

watching Bruins vs Isles G6 and something just occurred to me, the Caps need to part ways with Carlson as he is incapable of playing this type of hockey

Islanders advance to round 3

[Mickstix]

Trotz and Co. got em' rollin.. Fuck it, better them than the Bruins..

[richkrt99]

Good Deal.  Go Isles.

Aves will be without their head coach tonight...

are the Caps the only team who had the coaches fined for not wearing a mask this season?

He's cleared to coach the game....he missed practice.


Go Avs

Vegas advances

[Mickstix]

Fuck Vegas! Let's go Habs!!

[richkrt99]

Fuck Vegas! Let's go Habs!!

Refs robbed Varly of a shutout.. Can't believe that late in a game they fall for that fake "I got crosschecked" shit.

Am I the only one rooting for a Habs - Isles matchup?   Unlikely as both are underdogs [despite the Isles win yesterday], but I f'n hate Vegas and don't care so much for Tampa either.  How they manage to stay under the salary cap year after year is up there with Stonehendge, Area 51 and the grassy knoll.

I've been watching the Habs games, it doesn't look to me like they can play the same game as Vegas. Though they did pick it up a bit in G4 against the Jets. We will find out tonight though, and maybe the Habs will keep on surprising everyone.


and yea, I'd kinda like to see the Isles close their barn on a high note since its for real this time

[Mickstix]

Im -all in- with Fuck Vegas and Tampa.. After the Bolts/Hurricans series one of the Canes said "We got beat by a team 18 million OVER the salary cap".. I haven't followed them, but seems they may have skirted the rules somehow? Either way, fuck em'!! Let's go NY and Montreal!! Then, lets go Montreal!!

I wasn’t aware Tampa was over the cap. I typed in “Tampa bay lightning over” and this is the first thing that popped up...

Back way back when at the beginning of the season and we were whining about the Caps and their cap issue - I looked up NHL reports about what teams were in bad shape, and Tampa was listed as probably the worst prior to the beginning of the season as far as cap situation.  Caps were way up there (in the top 3-4).


Sucks to let them get away with it.  And it does kind of suck to be a team that plays under the cap and then get beat by a team that's WAY over.  I'm kind of surprised more teams did not abuse the flexibility of the taxi squad.


Caps should have put Kuzy on LTIR about March and brought him back for playoffs.  Could have picked up 8 mil worth of guys in the interim.  Kuzy sure as fuck wasn't worth it in that strech.


Go Caps  Isles

and tonight's game, Habs at Vegas, should be an 8pm game. The Habs are an east coast team, nearly.

Vegas takes G1
