This.

And the NHL will find a way to bail out Nashville from the ridiculous cap hit.

- Scabeh


They should.

Penalty was applied retroactively - no such penalty existed when Nashville matched the offer-sheet designed by Philly. Pretty sure they don't match if they knew the NHL would screw them.

Habs in 5.

Pete Deboer is probably the worst coach in the league.
MAF will be nervous to start the series, he will give a couple of bad goals, they'll throw Lehner in there and create a cluster (frank).

- Fredobbface


Maybe Vegas does same thing they did vs Col - sacrifice Lehner to the first game.

Win or lose, Ducharme needs to go!
Posted 2:18 PM ET | Comments 3
NOTE: This blog was written after game 5. Though just now made the home screen.

Sorry, but not sorry.

Dominique Ducharme still needs to go. His failure to play the kids in lieu of veterans who will have no bearing on this team after the season is beyond crazy.

From game one he had fans collectively scratching their heads at him holding out Kotkaniemi, Romanov and Caulfield. There was, and is, no rational for it. It's not like he could turn to them and say,

"Hey guys, the team is doing really well right now, so I think it best if you guys sit back and watch."

The team was horrible, as it had been horrible all year with the exception of the first month.

They won the first game on a sheer fluke; sorry Byron, that's all it was. The Evans injury forced him to put KK in. It wasn't done because he thought it necessary. I think it would have been interesting to see what he would have done if he had not been injured.

As for Caulfield, he didn't slot in until the 3rd game. Is it any surprise that this team started to look better once the kids started to play? Sure they still lost game four but at least they started to look more dangerous.

Moving on to the defence, Romanov STILL hasn't seen a game. We know he wouldn't be playing as he was never with the regulars practicing. There is nothing that can be said by the coach that rationalizes keeping him out if he is healthy. Which he is, as he admitted as much in his press conference.

A blind man could see that the only ones actually generating chances are the young guns of the team, ie: Suzuki, KK, and Caulfield. The "Vets" have done nothing, and continued to do nothing, with the exception of Perry. So why not give Romanov a chance?

It was and is, simply mind boggling.

The two "saviors" on defence in the shape of Merril and Gustaffson that Ducharme decided were much better options than Romanov played a combined 20 minutes in game 5. In the next they each played under seven minutes. LIKE WHAT? Why not slot him in at that point?!

Yes, since originally writing this blog they have won and advanced, but that has been in spite of the coaching. The game six OT was nothing but luck for the coach. The top 4 D were gassed and it was all Toronto. If Kotkaniemi,( hmmm a young gun) had not broken free and taken it for the team it would have been Toronto's game eventually.

Ducharme has been made to look far better than he has due to luck and the play of the youngsters. Whether he is bowing to pressure from above, or simply following his own misguided strategy, Ducharme has proved he is no better, and far worse than the coaches who came before him.

He needs to go, regardless of what happens in the rest of the playoffs.

Vegas is a much better team than what we have seen, so far. They are a true contender.

Maybe mtl can beat them, but it won't be easy.

My wedding is going to be a disaster. Only can have 30 people when the plan was 110 and have to do it outside in July. At least I'm saving over $10k.

Take that money and your fiancé qnd go away and enjoy yourselves. Then come back and trow a party with everyone to celebrate. Weddings are the biggest waste of money time and energy.

Amazing what scoring 14 goals in 7 games and somehow still winning 4 will do for your career. Process and results don't always align but results don't necessarily justify process.
