To be fair I have Nashville winning.

Hear me out: I actually had the Bruins making it to the cup final at the beginning of the year

I need to call that drug dealer back

I hope there is a Pres trophy curse or something. It happens a lot. Vegas is going to be harder to beat than a lot of people expected.

Yay drugs are fun

They both look good.

It could be Philly playing poorly, but PItts looks very strong once again

I had Pens for the three peat in October. Still do NSH-PIT final.

Like who?

3rd best center on the market......Bozak.

I certainly thought this series would be the closest of all of them.

It isn't over, but Wash/Col could be the only one to go past 5 games.
- david22

Yeah I thought so too. Silly me. Stupid format too. Horsepoop. Can you tell I'm a tad bitter?

yes...

JVR, Bozak and Komarov should have all been moved at the deadline. No wasting a 2nd on Plekanec either.

Could be sitting on a 1st, two 2nds, 3rd and a prospect (at least) right now with the same results on the ice giving Kapanen, Johnsson and Moore the ice time.

No. You don’t give up on your team when you’re in the playoffs. Trading your UFAs for picks, and not adding anyone to help is a clear signal that you don’t expect to win, and a great way to jade your young players.

Bringing in Plekanec didn’t work out, and sure, they didn’t have to add anyone, but JVR and Bozak would have been disastrous.

I think Letang is underrated having him all playoffs this year will be a big boost.

I’m sad 😢

Tavares

Brassard will help that

The earlier that pick is the better for Ottawa.

And I really don't want to see a three peat.

- Feeling Glucky?

There's only one team I can think of that actually does that and they got their just desserts this year for doing it. St Louis.

JVR has done what he does, couple goals, invisible otherwise.

Nylander, Matthews, Hainsey, Brown, Andersen ... Almost nothing.
- Aetherial

Yeah Brown is pretty ineffective. Seems like he's always chasing

Disastrous? It'd be exactly the same with the young, fast players getting more ice time with future pieces in your pocket. (frank), it can't be much worse than it was.

Browns a cheap jobber, I'm not sure he's a problem.

I agree. The Pens just make it look easy...

Great defense tonight.

How’s your golfing going?

- Blazed

They aren't in the same position the Leafs are in because they're suppose to be more advanced than the Leafs but they added to the future of their team instead of getting a 1st round ass kicking.

I mean I obviously tend to play closer attention to Bruins players, but I haven’t noticed much from Nylander at all. What’s going on?

Young guy. Plenty of time. I’m just wondering where he is in the moment because I expected more from him.

Tavares
- Steven_Seagull

Yes...and clone Polak because that all u will be able to afford on D

Great defense tonight.

Every night

Signing Tavares in the summer will fix that..

They will never win with that mentality, I'll put money on it.

Leafs have plenty of space. Just don’t sign Tavares for more than 10M
