The problem with Kadri is that he's not a boys club dirtbag. He's an outsider dirtbag. He will cost you a series. And has in the past. CC is very right about the good ole boys. It appears that Bennet is a good ole boy dirtbag. Pronger, Messier, heck Weber was actually vicious. Full power crosschecks with his unbreakable stick, right in the back. Never a problem. If you want a dirtbag, a good ole boy dirtbag is the best kind. They're rare though.

After the leafs get knocked out, I would love to see the zero state tax teams knocked out. Can't cheer against Florida because we need them to demoralize the Leaves. But Dallas and Vegas can both piss off this round. Especially Vegas with their special treatment of the Lehner contract, special draft rules, and no state tax. Go Oilers.

I also hate cheer against toronto. Its a tradition.

Oof. Don't even want to think about it. Bob gonna steal one or two.

Fair enough. Likely 600k more in taxes. Probably not enough to worry about in his case. I just hate all zero state tax teams. I feel like after taxes, they can pay average 5% less than everyone else. 5 million split between your 2 best players can be enticing. This case doesn't fit my narrative though.

Unless they are lights out at training camp, I don't see room for both Kapanen and Beck. Neither has been great in the NHL. Just ok for me. Personally I sort of hope they try to resign dvorak if the price is right. Devo and armia both leaving at the same time could leave a defensive hole. My lines without devo would be Slaf Suzuki Caufield Laine new guy Demidov Anderson newhook dach Heineman Evans galley Kap or Beck or roy or tuch or rhp or F Xhekaj. whoever earns it Ghule Hutson Matheson Carrier Struble pray it's Reinbacher A Xhekaj

It's pretty great how he found a role defensively this season. Massive improvement. He was snake bitten on probably 10 goals this year as well.

Rantanen buries his former team. (Who didnt have the cap space to pay him.) Zero state tax team (who could find the cap space to pay him) advances.

Sucks.

Need a goal here byes.

This was my expectation as well. Was happy to not get swept and actually be able to compete. Still some time left. Dobes keeping them in it.

It's looking that way.im just not ready for post modem tonight. Tbh.

So many.

Need som ozone time here.

Dobes looks shaky. Sheesh.
