These fucking guys. Unreal.

Carolina has a 6 game road trip and still needs to play Pittsburgh 4 times. Hopefully their goalie situation remains shitty.

LETS FUCKING GO!!!

All the awesomeness of Panarin and Zibby has stolen some of the shine from Lindgren, who was a monster last night. He and Fox are very impressive

The whole "leaving the feet" thing is ridiculously hard to argue in either direction for most hits.. Sure you have some clear launching violations, but for the majority of these hits simple physics is going to result in both feet being off the ice for a time.

I was actually impressed by Pageau, he stepped up as a welterweight fighting a light heavy weight. No better way to endear yourself to a new club, score a goal and fight in response to a hit. I'm actually surprised they call the instigator penalty on him ( I thought Lemieux was the only one who got that called)

The shitty thing is Trouba has 3 options. 1) Light him up and risk the ever evolving definition of a major penalty and/or suspension 1.a) Light him up and hope the geometry works out and you don't get called. 2) Avoid the hit peeling off, but risk a trip or knee on knee 3) make a hard right and let him blow right by I hate the head shots, but the puck carrier has to have some responsibility for not having his head up. The defender is really in a tough spot in a play that is moving really freaking fast. All that being said and I'm being honest, if Dal Colle hit Fox in a carbon copy play, I'd be livid.

I've watched the OT goal about 50 times. Zib caught that that on the absolute screws- if this were an ESPN baseball broadcast they'd have the exit velo up 2 seconds later, Aaron Judge esq..... But even more impressive is that pass by Panarin, bracketed by 3 guys, with one draped on him, with his hands tied up, makes a perfect pass right on the numbers. Panarin might not get in the Hart finalist group, but I'm not sure there is a guy who actually fits the bill as Most Valuable Player as much as he has. There are guys with more goals or points, but this season he's put up I'd stack up next to anyone in the entire league and feel damn good about it.

Mika is a bad mofo.

Motherfucker

Why do they insist on dropping the puck back into dangerous territory. It’s hard to let up a goal when you dump the puck in the neutral zone or God forbid het the puck in the islanders zone.

Haha. Fuck off

That?s a hell of a defection

The Toronto pick will not convey to Carolina if its in the top 10. I'd assume best case is 13-14 And in all honestly I'm basing this "Carolina gets to choose what pick we get" from Brooks, so I may very well be talking out of my ass.

Carolina gets to pick what pick we get in the draft their own or Toronto's.. If they both miss the playoffs its good for us.

Surprising goal-tending: Hank rediscovers 2014 Hank and Georgiev is terrific (jacking up his value). The offense continues to outpace the defensive shortcomings and we leapfrog Columbus and Carolina for the 2nd WC. (Columbus is dead in the water I think already). Root like hell for both Carolina and Toronto fall apart like a 2 dollar suit in the rain the rest of the way. Making the playoffs and getting a pick in the early teens for Brady would be the best possible outcome here.

Carolina has no cap room.. trying to see what the other shoe to drop is

do we want their pick or Toronto's?

Perhaps I spoke too soon

Welp.. Color me unimpressed

FAAAAAAK

Looking for a silver lining... Hopefully this gives Georgie the chance to improve his trade value big time.

7 years is horrific. I cant get over how badly a valuable chip was mismanaged

Its all going to hell in a hand basket

Atrocious
