OT: NHL Playoffs

I had a good time tonight. I don't think the Panthers feel the same way. Laughing

CLEARLY interference and a missed cross check to boot on the game tying goal. The NHL’s explanation of “it was an against the rules but not enough to overturn” is embarrassing. Can we get a definition of how much you have to break the rule for it to be called?
Cool I’ll need to rewatch it. I’m not a rules expert when it comes to hockey.. just enjoy watching
 
The NHL hockey video game series has really gone down the shitter lately, so I'm not into hockey as much as I used to be. Go Avs though. If my Red Wings ever make a run again, I'm sure I'll be more involved.

Cheering for Avs and Wings? This does not have the McCarty/Lemiuex Seal of Approval.

I can’t believe this guy, as talented as he is, has torpedoed the Avs Stanley Cup chances for two straight postseasons during a championship window that won’t stay open much longer. I can’t see how anybody in the organization can trust him going forward.

Its hard to envision not cutting ties with him - you can't undermine a team much more than he's done with his actions. Pretty clear that while he's great when on the ice, he can't handle everything that goes with being a professional athlete.

Avs only have 6 more years on that contract (through 2030). And NHL Players in the Players Assistance Program continue to count against the salary cap (unless they could somehow find a loophole for LTIR). I think Jack Johnson's comment last night was right on course which was not to excuse the conduct but to say that Nichushkin had a choice to make and made his choice (to the detriment of his entire team)
 
As a resident of Houston, it is bad enough that the Rangers won the World Series and the Mavs are in the NBA finals. I don't think I could have handled the Stars winning as well, especially after beating the Avs (my fav NHL team)

I'm really looking forward to this Edmonton/Florida series. Will be interesting to see if the travel plays a negative impact on one team or the other. Also curious how the long layoff impacts each team. Ready for this one to finally start!
 
I guess I don’t understand how hockey rules are enforced. They call tripping and slashing and holding all the time, but when a guy has a breakaway you can apparently maul him from behind and there’s zero chance of a penalty.

NHL playoffs are amazing. Been a wild, but fun series… Each team won 3 in a row and lost three in a row. Very unprecedented way to get to game 7- only 4th time in history I think they said.
Game 7 for the cup is epic.
These guys have been grinding out a long season. NHL plays a ton of games given the level of intensity.
Hoping for an exciting finish.
