I'm not a fan of Kelly Sutherland, however, that was by the book call. A referee is supposed to blow the whistle if they lose sight of the puck. Lindgren is acting like he had it trapped. I don't know what else the ref is supposed to do there, if they can't see the puck.

You know Wilson is going to go hard physically after Panarin, and he's a special kind of scumbag. I don't think Rempe helps. I mean you can dress him but we know it won't be a deterrent because if a guy is injured, a fight doesn't change anything, and Wilson isn't scared of anyone.

That doesn't help clarify what WWE is, nor is Kleenex a verb. Nobody says let me Kleenex myself. I think the one you were going for was Clorox.

My guy, you didn't even have the balls to make the ballsy prediction...

He's often very complimentary of the Rangers, their fans just fixate on the negative...in case you haven't noticed

The only thing that concerns me is that Toronto is so very bad at first rounding.

I agree but I'm taking points off because you missed an obvious chance to use the word "impotent".

Somebody hired Babcock. Somebody will hire Gallant. Those hiring managers deserve the unemployment line. Buffalo needs anybody who can install a coverage system. They can't defend.

They scare me more than Tampa. They've been playing lockdown-playoff-type hockey for weeks.

My bad, your lack of use of emojis had me guessing. Oh, that could have been funny! Then I could have hit you back with "sorry I gave it to you!"

@Puck Head had you over as a guest, I see.

Philly just tied it.

Learn to take a joke, man.

We're total opposites... Because I'm not positive you think at all!

We're 1st year squirts, so I have no expectations. I wanted my kid to land on a team with a good coach, where he'll have fun. That's it. We got that, so I'm happy. These people who jump program to program looking for "opportunity" make me laugh, TBH.

They've been a good/solid regular season team for years now. They have to take the next step, and it seems like they know it. But, the playoffs don't start in October...Lavvy said it correctly, you have to play the regular season. Those are the games that are in front of you, and they took care of business. Now that's done and it's time to get down to bigger business.

There was a reason they discussed booting him in November/December of last season.

Spot on. I think this team is more well-rounded than a lot of those GG teams but even if I wanted to entertain the thought that the team two years ago that went to the Eastern conference final was better... Imagine what they would have done with a real coach instead of what they had. Even last year's team, imagine having a real coach make a real adjustment instead of just rotating through right wings... It was wasted.

Of course he is, with all the court appearances and such.

And Trocheck is a stronger 2C than Strome. Lafreniere is better. Schneider is better. Igor is back (.930 since February) They aren't playing Justin Braun. The fourth line isn't just a collection of players, they all have a role and they perform it well. The coaching is better.

I call bullshit.

If the only flaws where that it wasn't accurate military protocol, I think I can suspend enough disbelief haha.

Was joking in a group chat that Yotes will go to SLC and in 5 years when Winnipeg stinks and people stop going, they'll move that team to Phoenix.
