no morning skate today and still no word on tonight's lines




I'd expect Vanecek in net tonight, and wouldn't be surprised if Siegenthaler rotated in for Chara.

agreed,


although, Chara was skating 20 minutes per last year. He might be a tad slower but he's still going strong.

the league did not request a hearing with Dowd today, which works for me. The hit on Stall didn't look bad enough to warrant it

I agree.  Although I didn't get a great look at it because they kept cutting off the fucking replay.


AND...he wasn't wearing the right jersey number to warrant a league look at it (or playing the proper opponent) for anyone to care.


I was watching the 2018 Hens series recently and OMG what a bunch of fucking pansy cheating crybaby mother fuckers.  As SOON as Willie hit that fucker with a CLEAN check with the guys HEAD UP and LOOKING DIRECTLY AT WILLIE and WILLIE buried his shoulder in his fucking chest....THe whole Shitsburgh bench started whining and the FUCKING NBC talking heads said "HE TARGETED THE HEAD!"  It was sickening and disgusting the bias they showed in that series.  But lets let the past rest and not piss on the graves of those fuckers (Penis McGwire and Mike Dingleberry)


But good for Dowd.  I don't think anyone believes he is a real head checker.

Must cost too much money? Some teams broadcast have it. It comes up a couple times a year, but I've never heard anyone from the Caps address why they don't have it. It's 2021 for gods sake!! lol

I agree.  Although I didn't get a great look at it because they kept cutting off the fucking replay.

Pens have always got favourtism because of their star presence and the league always wants them in the finals if possible. Nothing better for the league than an American team in the finals with a Canadian star on the roster. Best circumstances for the best ratings. McDavid is clearly the best player in the league but if Edmonton was in the finals, that wouldn't attract as many American fans!
AND...he wasn't wearing the right jersey number to warrant a league look at it (or playing the proper opponent) for anyone to care.

Felt like yesterday we were pretty dominant, yet sloppy. Today I feel like we're just getting run over...

Still early, will take way more than 2 games for Lavi's system to click.

If you were Pierre McGuire and you were fellating Crosby on a daily basis I'm sure you would have a Pens bias too

In case you forgot, Pierre was a penguins assistance coach. I feel he's very knowledgeable with hockey sense but still has a bias towards the pens.
