Jesus titty fucking Christ Trouba 

Does nobody realize that the chyrons are not on the broadcast?

Goodrow getting his hatty today

Sam has absolutely no idea his graphics guy is sleeping 

This Barclay Goodrow game brought to you by the New York Lottery. Hey, you never know.

If you needed a sign to go take a risk and shoot your shot, Barclay Goodrow has 2 goals in one week.

Thanks, Garden of Dreams.

Trivia is Terry Sawchuk 

You know, usually, you get the tip before you get the Kak, but the Rangers reinvent the game.

Chris Kreider. King of the deflection. Big tipper. 

hahaha brendan smith's a hooker

Btw no relation to Kahkonen

I don't believe you. Sam, can you chime in?

Don't look now but our Kakko has a 5 game point streak.

Trouba invisible tonight. Baby steps.

They’re really forcing this gatorade dialog. 

The only way to lure a wild Panarin up close is to use his favorite beverage.

Just tuning in. Refs chucked my feed.

If they went up any higher, the average ticket price would cost the same as flying to the moon. Good on them for not deciding to raise prices after they already have like 4 Million percent since like the 2013 season.

 To be fair, flying to the moon has gotten far cheaper in recent years. 

Time for an exorcism, Rempe style.

At least Sam thinks it's still 2-0

Congrats to Jacob Trouba for a -2 and a drawn penalty?

I don't think the East has been this stacked in a while. Picking a favorite to come out of the east is near impossible. My opinion is Bruins, Toronto, Washington and Tampa will be first round losers no matter the opponent.

I don't think it's even that stacked. I think the Rangers, Panthers, and Canes are a step above. The Bruins are 15+ loser points in the hole here, and I'm not going to call a team that lost 32 games on the same level as a team that lost 24 because they got a bonanza of loser points. 

The west is going to be a far more interesting playoff if only because Vancouver is a paper tiger, 2-6 aren't separating, and the wildcards are legitimately threatening teams.

We are making similar points in opposing ways maybe… yet I think we agree.

 

To further articulate…

 

If Montreal were to offer sheet him at the 4 1sts tier… yes.

You take that.

He hasn’t earned that money yet.

And you would likely get a premium asset and at least one more higher-level asset out of that package. Potentially more than that.

 

 

But no one is or should be near that yet.

 

Montreal shouldn’t be willing to do that.

And I’d doubt they are.

They can’t possibly be that stupid.

 

And Laf, despite his very strong season, hasn’t earned that yet.

Though I think you have a player on your hands right now that’s still improving and going to be fantastic moving forward. 

 

That kind of offer sheet is a fantasy that won’t come to fruition.

 

Ask Carolina about Kotkaniemi.

How has that gone?

 

Both ways.

 

 

 

 

 

Kotkaniemi stinks. Lafreniere...doesn't.

They'll blame Trouba for their fuckin hemorroids. 

Trouba's fault. Also, Trouba has the 19,000 Jagr Bobbleheads and was the reason Jagr left Pittsburgh in the first place.

I can't figure out why a team like Montreal would give up FOUR first round picks for this guy. That would set their team back decades, given that their latest first overall pick is not exactly lighting it up. 

Because the Canadian media is endlessly obsessed with putting every French Canadian player in Montreal.

It's stupid.

I'm all for a moderate overpay on Lafreniere to get term - but it's more than we don't know what the cap will look like in three years when the real bill comes due. I'd rather slightly overpay for years 1-2 of a longer deal that meaningfully extends the current window than be pigeonholed into buying 7 years of UFA in a 100M+ cap market to open a new one.

First of all we are in.  The playoff seeding is all that remains to be decided so in one sense what else is there to think about and discuss between now and playoff game 1?

 

I am not "concerned" about our first round opponent as much as I find it interesting that we have a direct head to head say in who that opponent might be.  My concern, more of a preference really and to the extent it existed when I started this thread was to avoid the hot team (Tampa Bay) if possible.  That matchup now seems very unlikely given the mathematics involved.

 

We have a chance to directly shovel some dirt on WC2 aspirations given the way the schedule shakes out.  The first shovel full starts tonight for the Penguins. 

Now this, I can get behind.

Don't pick the opponent. Scare em all.
