Pierre LeBrun too.

“Plus if Montreal doesn’t make it out of the first round, then the Subban trade looks even dumber now.”

I’m impressed the Caps can rack up so many penalties in so few rounds.

Watching the games last night, one thing I kept thinking was the Hawks & CBJ are way better than the Leafs (for now), but we’re going to at least 6 games, and they’re gone in 4 & 5, respectively. And when Washington faces the Pens next round, we might have tired them out a bit just in time to face their biggest…

Here you go, Yinzer!!!!!

Yeah, they’re fucked. But holy shit, this is a good hockey photo.

What’s wild about these playoffs is that all the matchups you’d expect to be closer are becoming blowouts while the caps and leafs/sharks and oilers are going back and forth.

Columbus definitely deserved a better draw than the Penguins in round 1. The Pens high end players were just too much for CBJ.....all the talk of Crosby and the Kids while Evgeni Malkin quietly leads the playoffs in scoring!!!

The Flames never could figure out how to stop the flying v.

I reached down to find any feeling or ounce of emotional sympathy for Boston’s poor luck here but there was nothing there

Give us a tiny asterisk when you win the Cup this year and we’ll call it even (because it’s the closest we’re gonna get to a Cup for a couple of years...)

I told my Pens fan friend yesterday that she better thank me (because it’s all my doing, of course, not the Leafs themselves) for tiring the Caps out for them. Pens would take it anyway, but we’ll have helped. :P

Haven’t been watching the Caps series, but I can tell you that ain’t the case in the Pens series. Tired narrative.

Good analysis. Also one of the reasons Sullivan is coaching and not the previous guy (who seemed to prefer a more rigid/formal system)

Originally the thought was that the perfect wing for Crosby was a high-class sniper/”goal scorer.” But high-priced types like James Neal and Kessel just didn’t really click with him. (Kessel has flowered as more of a free-form playmaker with a wicked shot on a different line). He likes guys who move around rather than…

This article originally said Guentzel is a Nebraska native. While he was born in and attended college in Nebraska, he was mostly raised in Minnesota. I’ve corrected it above.

Never change.

Doesn’t this guy run a personal training company?

Seriously, how many pounds does a camera from the early 90's add?
