WE THE NORTH !!! Sucks that so many startes were injured for the Warriors though.

Even though Lowry made several great plays throughout the game, I thought that he made some major mistakes yesterday as well, costing quite a lot for his team. Also, totally thought that Leonard would drive the basket on the last play. Seemed like he had a chance but somewhat choked.

So, Friedman brought up Montréal as a potential destination for Matt Duchene...

Wouldn't it be the first time a player mention Montreal in UFA talks to raise his asking price...

haha what an unexpected game winning scorer !

I'm 100% guilty of being a bandwagon fan for the Raptors this season. I watched my first entire NBA game last week (game 4) and watched 5 and 6 as well. So that makes 3 more entire games than the past 10 years

Beautiful work. It's a shame that I live in Montreal, don't have that kind of space in my house and am 3k short to buy this awesome table.

Well, if you totally skip the 2 sentences before this one AND the one right after... I was insisting that the last resort thing is when you trade away the best player. I would gladly send Tatar and a blue chip prospect in the division to get Huberdeau, but not send Huberdeau in the division to get Tatar and a bluechip prospect. But, IF I DO IT, it would be because no other similar deal can be done.

If I'm the GM who's trading away the actual best player (à la Pacio vs Tatar and prospect), I'd of course consider trading within the division, but it would only be a last resort option. Even if I'm confident that I'll eventually win the trade. Winning the trade outside of divison is still better than winning the trade in your division. Unless you win by a substantial margin within the division.

Make it a Jumbotron decision. If it is so obvious that when the refs look at the Jumbotron, they're able to change or make a decision, than go with it. Otherwise, the call on the ice stands.

To be honest, I'm pretty neutral about video reviews. Like CC, I don't like when the play is stopped for a long period of time during a "close call" review. On the other hand, I hate to see good goals when they shouldn't (let alone playoffs game winning goals). Also, I find it a bit stupid that some things are reviewable while some others aren't.

Good news is, starting game 1 next season, passes with the hands will probably be reviewable.

Exactly what Tourigny says, a 60ish pts player. He says that he's not yet ready to place Suzuki in the same category as Nico Hischier (who's already a 1st line player in the NHL). That he'll be a top 6 guy, a strong 2nd line player with great skills at reading the game and break passes. That he'll be very hard to play against since that kind of players don't make many mistakes.

Andre Tourigny just compared him to Ryan O'Reilly.

Both semis were amazing. The table is set for June 1st !!! Good luck.
