Thank you! I can only imagine if Pittsburgh was healthy rolling into the Playoffs. Then again fucking Fluery might get the yips and forget how to stop a puck.
Even healthy they are mostly a shit team with no depth this year. That ignores the fact that Fleury is mediocre at his best.

So, that was a fucking great first night of hockey.

Flames keep riding the wave. Kill the Canucks with 30 seconds left to steal home ice.
Hawks climb back from down 3-0 thanks to Darling to win in double OT. My heart can't take OT playoff hockey.
Habs/Sens is going to be a brutal series.
Islanders put on a show tonight as well.
Chase Utley is a bitch

I'd like to point out that I said Crawford was shit. Standing with that. Unless Darling keeps it up and they keep riding him, Hawks won't do much. Crawford is a mediocre goalie behind a solid defense. Defense doesn't do well a night, and fucking hamster-cheeks falls apart.

We're having a good thing with Philly. Healthy rivalry. Boston is just trash and disrespectful, very aloof and arrogant.

Their team and management (who have now been fired) are really arrogant and had a holier than thou attitude for quite a few years. Now they've fallen back down to earth and you can't help but have a little schadenfreude.

As a Colorado fan I find it hilarious the year they hire Sacco is the year they miss the playoffs.

Didn't watch the game, saw bits and pieces but this is just from the score.

Crawford is a bum and I'm bitter because I lost money on them =\
Chase Utley is a bitch

Crawford is just ok, I wouldn't consider him an elite goaltender by any means. But they have won a cup with him and Detroit did a bunch of times with Osgood so you can't really count them out based on average goaltending.

That said I have Nashville winning the West in my bracket so fuck Crawford and Chicago, and I hope Weber's injury isn't serious.

The average goalie model works well if you're paying them as such. Problem is Crawford is making near-elite money and has a huge cap hit on a team that is strapped for it. Can't be making ~$6 mil a year and be giving up the goals he does.

That's true I forgot how much he was making. Osgood made 2-3mil which is perfect for someone like him or Crawford. I think the Kane/Toews contracts were huge mistakes as well, those 2 players are something like 21% of their total cap, there's now way they'll be able to renew contracts for their great support players that you need to win cups.

Edmonton gets McDavid. That could be nasty in a few years.

HOLY SHIT I CANT BELIEVE IT LOLOL. Can't outtank the Oilers.

Grats Rush! This might be the one to actually pull the Oilers out of their horribleness.

Cool. I'm a few hours from Edmonton so I can see him play at some point. Maybe next year they'll draft a dman with their 1st pick.

Those Arizona-Buffalo games near the end of the season sure were franchise changing. Arizona tried to win more and now they get Hannafin instead of Eichel. Sucks.

Edmonton will probably try to trade Pittsburgh's #16 pick for a D-man.
