Blue Heaven

What a choke job by the fishsticks. 
Sat on the lead, 1 SOG in the 3rd. 

No one had Rempe scoring a goal in the playoff let alone the first goal of the playoffs?

He may have been asleep for the last 20 minutes where they were out shot 15-6, while trailing 3-1. Its okay, old age gets us all eventually.

Too many hits to the head has his wired crossed

I want to see Rempe crush Wilson, put him through the boards and onto 8th Avenue 

How wasn’t there a penalty for interference? Oh right, officials now put the whistles away after the 1st period 

I wish Zib would shoot every once in awhile instead of looking for his BFF

Shitty part about these penalty calls is that they won’t call them in the 2nd and 3rd periods so it’s just going to get everyone more pissed off 

Officiating is very suspect the first 10 minutes.

maybe a bit rough

 

I dont think we should be counting on him to play meaningful minutes though. Maybe someone can prove me wrong with metrics or something but I don't feel like he's a defensively responsible player and outside of physical play, he's not someone I would rely on for any meaningful minutes. Playoffs you gotta be able to trust all 4 lines and have them play a lot. a roster spot on a guy who might get 4-5 minutes of ice time is not something we should be relying on

As long as he pounds John Carlson, he'll be doing his job.  

I think Rempe plays Game 1 and they take it on a game by game basis.  Rempe is most effective on the forecheck, defensemen are focused on him barreling down towards them then on the puck which causes turnovers.  

Looks like all the games are on MSG

Chytil should be a great fit for that line. He has an excellent shot, and he also has no issues carrying the puck or dumping and going in deep after it, cycling. Underrated playmaker too.

Except for his head and any slight bump can knock him out

If that were to happen, where do you drop Ros? 3rd line would be odd, since you'd have to drop Kakko to 4th line....though Ros on the 4th line would be even weirder?

Roslavic is either 1RW or scratch....No other spot for him w/o disrupting the other lines.

The funny part is thinking about the sheer impact of what losing those 5 1sts would have meant.

 

No Manny Malhotra. Probably no 7th overall that year either though.

No Marc Savard to Calgary trade and no Sundstrom/Cloutier to Tampa trade, because we're not making that stupid push for Brendl and Lundmark after a disaster season that never happened (and also, no pick to trade Tampa in 2000 anyway.

Without Brendl, no Lindros trade.

No Dan Blackburn

No Pavel Bure trade

 

Basically, no dark ages if not for Air Force One. Fundamentally shifts the franchise in multiple directions to simply not have those assets. Not to mention Sakic-Gretzky being almost impossible to compete with

 

Lindros could have probably still happened.....Everyone knows Sather had a hard-on for Lindros and would have figured out something to get him here.

damn, as someone who had to go through something similar, that Teppo Numminen line was a bit of a tear jerker  

 

Rocked my Kachina last night and watched (and cashed Yotes ML lol). Just a tough thing to watch happen.

 

I hope the NHL figures out a way to make it work there again. 

Can't be with the same owner.  

F'n Harrison Ford for not agreeing to move the Air Force One release date.  

Caps are going to try to bully the a Rangers around on the ice. Rangers will need to score early in the games to get away from the shenanigans. Rangers MUST make this a quick series. 

Fuck man, gotta deal with TJ Oshie who seems to score big goals, and scores a bunch vs. the Rangers.  

Now we are going to have the Lindgren's storyline, and Charlie Lindgren has played very well vs. the Rangers.

I am going to be at the inlaws who live in a region of the state that does not get MSG for some unknown reason so i hope this is a nationally broadcast game

If its 3 PM it will definitely be an ABC game

Rocky IV is a pretty damn good sequel 

I'll do the same ballsy prediction that I had for the season

Shesterkin will score more goals, than Aaron Rodgers had completed passes

We did it with Chytil, so what the hell.  Drury is in on it too!! 

 

Legal loophole: USE IT!

 

I really could give a rat's ass about Mark Stone; if we play Vegas in the Finals, they're gonna need a lot more than him to beat us!

They have Alec Martinez 

Ticket prices for their last home game is insane

Why?

He's on WFAN right now, basically said he doesnt want to work anymore, his time has come.  Decision wasnt hard to make, something that he wanted to do for a long time. He's wants to wake up in the afternoon, and not have to go anywhere.  He wants to watch all the baseball he can, Mets/Yankees, ESPN, etc.....He will be very happy in his retirement.
