Depends on the series. The Philly/Pens series is faster. Both teams not really known for physical prowess. The Jets series as well as LVK/LAK is a lot of grinding and heavy play, similar to how Boston plays. Play to your strengths.

I see the leafs trying that but they can’t. Because there is a team that is physically controlling them. Pretty easy lol

Rielly needs a legit partner next season. Who can both play D and make a pass.

lol methinks that ship has sailed. But I in fact did not hate Dions game when he was here.

Some people would say that a legit top defender doesn't need anyone and they make others better.

Rielly has been invisible.

Traded far too early in the rebuild, IMO

Same Willie.
Just not a player that will get it done when it counts.
Plus a defensive liability.

I'm sure he's happy for his bff Pasta though...

I disagree totally. I think the idea that you have to go at it alone and be the man is all wrong too and part of what makes the team look bad.

Do your job within your role and don't make the big mistake. Play the right way and it will come. Rielly has made practically no big mistakes and has been the only D that has been jumping in consistently and has a few good shots on net.

*Dermott in a lesser role as well.

Don’t the Marlies have some players

Jeezus, this is embarrassing.

Go Raptors Go

Didn’t need MacDonaugh at all eh Lou? Assets better spent on Plachaniish

I thought Plekanec was a decent acquisition at the a decent price. The logic was there but yeah, hindsight is 20/20.

Sucks Ander5en showed up for the playoffs. I know they weren’t all his this game, but holy S, shoot you’ll score! Oh well, as they say in Canadian, better luck next year b’ys.

I'd say right back at you but we both know no amount of luck will save the Sabres. Draft lottery or playoff chances.

Gardiner elbowed in the face. No call.

Shocking.

nice pasta dive

Robidas, that’s who Zaitsev reminds me of.

wondering if Matthews still is not 100% after the injury

Hey- Zaitsev actually made a good defensive play.

Gardiner elbowed in the face. No call.

Shocking.
- Feeling Glucky?

Apparently Elbowing is no longer a penalty in the NHL?

Because honestly, in these last 2 games I have seen about 4-5 nice ones...
