Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

Original call was a 5 min major, took the refs around 15 seconds to review it, it was deemed a non-penalty, and that was that. That's bad. Some day they will disallow open ice hits. It's gonna come. Guys getting rung up while their head is down in all honesty isn't right. It's just gotta happen to ...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

Vegas is the betting favorite to come out of the West, not the ideal 1 vs 8 matchup for Dallas when you have to face the team that's allowed to openly circumvent the rules. It's going to be fascinating to see if/how they try to close that loophole at the next CBA. I don't blame Vegas at all for wha...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

What the hell Dallas? That's bad news. I have sadly gotten to watch very little of this series so far. In the East the top seed drew on of the biggest doormat playoff teams in recent memory. In the West the top seed drew the defending chance who got their best forward back for game one. Bummer for ...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

I see his Panarin's elbow stapled to his own ribs, then coming up after contact as he drives though like every hit. It's a close call regarding the point of contact for sure, I just don't think the elbow was an issue. Sucks that it happened to Oshie for sure. For those that haven't seen it: https:/...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

The main thing the capitals are upset about is he uad to be taken off the ice for concussion protocol, which shouldn't have happened if they deemed no penalty. They wanted him out there to try and help tie it up. Idk. Maybe I've got red tinted glasses but i see an elbow to the head so i can concede...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

I thought it was a clean hit. The angle from behind Oshie makes it look like a headshot, but in the others you can see he gets the body first. The main thing the capitals are upset about is he uad to be taken off the ice for concussion protocol, which shouldn't have happened if they deemed no penal...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

While we're remembering some former Blues, logging the second most minutes among D for the Florida Panthers tonight was old friend Niko Mikkola. This is much more of a "good for him" post than a "Army, you idiot" post. As long as he avoids major injury he should have a nice caree...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

I know it's a typo, but I'm still picturing an android version of Lindy Ruff coaching the team into the early years of the 22nd century. Sabres fans will definitely be waiting that long to win with him coaching. Feel like noting that his second season behind the Sabres bench was the loss in the fin...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

Locking up your pending Free Agents to good contracts is a major part of the job. It's been a sore spot for Army. Yeah I'm not saying he's done a bad job by any means, just that he started with a really really good foundation. He has done a very good job with that foundation, but he started on seco...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

There is a lot to be said for that. But, he also brought in their top two centers via Free Agency and is getting 150 points a year from those two for 14 million a year. He gets full credit for Trochek, but Zibanejad has been there for 8 years. He got a good deal on the extension though. Locking up ...

Re: Playoffs?!? (2023-2024 Edition)

Army absolutely took Chris Drury to the woodshed in his very first trade as a GM, but since then, I don't think anyone in the league has done a better job of building a complete roster as he has. Just a deep team stocked with scoring and toughness. They may be the team to break the President's trop...

Re: Blues 2024 Offseason Thread:

https://twitter.com/lkorac10/status/1781014437052211589 Good Ol' Lou could've stopped at: "Doug Armstrong said he has a pulse ..." and satisfied far more Blues fans. He said he wanted to interview some candidates that were still in the playoffs. Wonder which assistant coaches he has on th...

Re: Blues 2024 Offseason Thread:

I'm open to moving a lot of roster players or prospects if it results in improving the blue line. This season it wasn't an absolute disaster like it was the year before, but it needs significant improvement if the team wants to go anywhere. Very good goaltending covered up a lot of warts for this te...

Re: News and Games around the NHL

At least we aren't alone. The college experience is far more enticing to these players than another year in the OHL or wherever else they might be. Wonder if this becomes more and more prevalent and we see more cases of guys just enjoying college for 4 years then picking their team or at the very l...

Re: Fantasy Hockey

On the final day of the season the champagne is already on Matty Ice in the dressing room. Might be time for 5-Hole Magic to start combing the rule book looking for technicalities to get Matty dq'd. I MIGHT be able to make it an 8-6 loss but it’s pretty much in the bag. We gave it all we could and ...

Re: Blues 2023-2024 season thread

So we've reached the last day of the regular season. I suppose the most pressing decision the Blues have is what to do at Head Coach. Bannister has a record of 30-19-4 at the moment, good for a .604 points percentage. I don't know about you but that exceeded my expectations. Was that turnaround his ...
