1-1-1 to get through on GD. "That ain't no guess that's what it's gonna be."

Damnit - that's what I get for being a day late.

TL;DR ... haven't had my hockey stuff washed since I left home five years ago (thanks Mom!). Until someone tells me they can smell me on the ice, I'm good (I project at least another decade before this is a possibility).

I'll add Benn to this list as well. Kid's a beast.

"Spare me." - Paul Stastny

I won't argue on toasted ravioli, but being from a predominately Italian town in Upstate NY these idiots have no idea how atrocious St. Louis-style pizza is. I have now lived here for seven months due to a job relocation and have tried the pizza twice (once drunk); I will never try it again.

Filthy.

TYPICAL; ED SNIDER TYPICAL.

Yeah, except this time they'll actually have a goalie who doesn't lean so heavily on the system in front of him.

Sorry - it's going to take me until the Olympics to get used to the new standings/seedings.

Shit. If the Devils smarten up and actually realize Schneider is a starter, the Devils could be good.

Care to elaborate?

At least wait till the halfway mark

Only thing I would add is Pittsburgh also being a lock, barring injuries. As much as MAF was finally outed for the goalie he truly has always been last playoffs and their depth could be bolstered - they see completely different results when Crosby and Malkin are rolling (not to mention Neal).

I just think it'll be a close call. A 1030 PDO in 48 GP wouldn't have stood up over 82 GP - Kadri and Kessel can be counted on to have fine years but the others will still have to shoot lights out to support that defense. Agreed on Reimer and Bernier, despite them not needing Bernier at all, but Carlyle will still…

Can't wait for greater Toronto's reaction to a less than stellar result after a heavily luck-driven season last year. Also, Wild fans that are online abhor NHL "fancystats," so watching them be a playoff bubble team at best should be fun too.

I'll never deny that it should be tapered down to in-game reactionary fights, and that's what the NHL/Hockey World has been aiming to do for years. But if you take out the ability for someone to respond to a blatant cheap-shot with more than a roughing-up along the boards; bigger issues may (note the may, as we won't…

You're not even focusing on the majority of the sport; you're focusing on one part of the sport that is and has been in decline for a while now.

How old is his sister/cousin/sister's friend/whatever there in the stands next to him? Might put up with that little shitbrick if it came to it.
