Everything non-Jets related goes here.

I'm all aboard the Isles bandwagon. Trotz, Eberle and "**** Tavares, we're gonna win in spite of him" is fantastic...

What a collapse by Vegas 

sorry, spoiler alert 

LOL!

Cheering for STL/CAR final as that's the only guys i got left in my pool.

What i would prefer is a team that has not won cup before #Noeller

Hmm..

 

The Leafs don't have three this season. Regardless, the point it seems he's trying to make is that top heavy teams are all failing, which imo is just a coincidence. The Penguins won two of the last three Cups with arguably the most top heavy roster in the league.

Colorado and the Islanders for me. I'm a big MacKinnon fan. I could live with St. Louis winning too.

Re MacKinnon, is there a bigger steal in the league than him at $6.3M for the next four years?

Hes the guy below McDavid and right now might be better. Absolute steal.

Carolina and NYI are 2 very fascinating Cinderella type stories. Its funny to me that the leafs are gone and their ex gms team isnt. 

Canes are cool tho. They have that looks like they are having fun factor.

I love the storyline of the Islanders being so good after everybody wrote them off this summer. They have people in their organization that I don't like (Sweet Lou & Lehner), but it would be fun to see them stick it to Tavares and the Leafs.

I'm indifferent to the Canes. Not enough history of them being relevant for me to care much one way or the other.

What!? Lol Sharks scores 4 goals on a 5 minute pp they didn’t deserve.

vegas lost. But that game was over until that bad call. 

It was a weird play. In hindsight, maybe the "proper" and "fair" call would have been a 2 minute minor to Eakins for the cross-check, and 2 minutes to Stastny for roughing on the same play. It's his push while Pavelski was off balance that did the real damage.

I don’t think Stastny did anything.  The cross check....you could go either way on it being a minor or no call. But Stastny just got tangled up with him.  Probably no call at all has the player not landed on his head 

I suspect VGK will push for ability to challenge penalty calls and I think it will pass.

But if that had happened to WPG it would not have mattered as PaMa would have already lost his challenge 10 seconds in to give our goalie confidence

I don’t think challenges to penalties should be allowed.  But I do wonder if the control centre can’t weigh in in real time.

I really didn't see this coming. Did not think the Canes (namely Mrazek) were this good...

Mrazek was pulled in the second period I believe due to injury (looked like groin maybe).  McElhinney actually stopped all 17 shots he faced in relief.

Go look at Carolinas Playoff history.. Its insane. They either make the conference finals or cup final or dont make the playoffs... Seriously. Its crazy.
