I couldn't agree more. Another thing I've been thinking about, but haven't researched, is how many "zero state tax' teams have been in the semis and especially the Finals in the last 10 years? Maybe it's not enough to discuss, but it feels like there's been a lot in the last 5 at least.

Hopefully nothing. Now if he was a right handed defenseman I'd be all over it.

It's embarrassing that we are still celebrating that series when violently breaking Russian Gretzky's ankle was the turning point in it.

Very accurate. Florida Carolina has been some intense hockey. I wish the series was closer.

That's disgusting

Out of the 4 teams left, I can't think of a reason to cheer for any of them, so I think I'll cheer for pavelski. It would be cool for him to win a Cup. I really want to see Vegas knocked out.

Good observation. Add Chiarelli to that list

I agree on the different approach. Every year the lists are very similar. And every year they are probably 20% accurate.

We get to hear about the no goal now for 30 years. It sucks that there was no whistle, but the play was long dead when Bob stood up.

Completely agree on Dach. I'm not against keeping him at wing, but honestly would prefer to see him have his own line as a C. I would like to see how he does with Caufield as well. He's a big reason why I question the logic of trading for PLD.

Kane gonna get a suspension for hitting guys when they’re down?

Yep. Me too. And that michael Ryder glove save in game 7 ot. Oof. Had Thomas and Chara beat.

I revel in the look on rat boys face after that stunner. I hate him more than any leaf. Glad the bruins choked. Screw em.

I had trouble seeing the high stick.

It still bothers me seeing danault play so well for someone else. Letting kk walk was a good move, but danault, not so much. I still wish we would have kept danault and Lehkonen. Both are young enough to be part of a rebuild.

Skinner is not great, but seems fairly consistent. Eye test only. No stats. Ekholm was a very good addition. Bjukstad seems solid on the 3rd line. Boucher has improved. I think this year's team is better than last years. Especially with Hyman and Nuge playing so well.

8.5 million for a 60 point player?

Leafs have nothing to play for now. They've secured home ice advantage and can't catch the bruins. I expect them to rest their stars. I don't think any individuals are chasing milestones either.

Fixed it. I meant point per game season

I wouldn't move him. I'm not sure how much I want pld even without giving up assets. He's never had a point per game season. If he's paid according to his performance, than ya its a no Brainerd, but if they get googoo eyes over the big French centre, it could be a contract mistake.

Anyone watching this mess? Oof.

I say do not trade for him. Keep an eye on dach next year and evaluate his capabilities at centre. I'm not sure I want Dubois at all unless it's at a reasonable price. If aDach is a winger at the end of 24, then sign him, but if dach is a top 6 centre, then you say no thank you and look for team balance. Whatever that need is in 12 months.

Quinn Hughes does just fine. Adam fox. Torey Krug. I've been big on this kid since he was drafted and I saw his highlight pack. His phenomenal rookie season helps reinforce it.

I didn't see the game, but was listening. If Kovacevic hit was clean and Martinez made him fight, shouldn't there have been a penalty for Instigating? The league needs to Crack down on this I feel.

Didn't Matheson hit him?
