A first to get him, a first to get rid of him. Lesson learned.

Building through the waiver wire and UFA markets provide great results too.

I was going to suggest flying down to Florida for a live SCF game. Then I remembered it's probably still freezing at night in Winnipeg.

That’s because you either don’t understand how great they are at playing defensively or you just like pond hockey with lots of offence, which is terrible hockey.
- LeftCoaster

I don't understand how you think the type of hockey being played has anything to do with me being interested in the organizations that look to be in the final 2.

I just don't care for the teams.

Good on you though to get the rest of the gang going on something so stupid.

I've got to say I wasn't really interested in anyone in the final 4 teams but a Vegas vs Florida final is probably something I won't watch.
- manvanfan

Two juggernauts, Eichel vs. Matthews. I give the edge to Florida cause of how Bob is playing but should be a great series!

So you won’t watch good hockey because of where they are from? Why doesn’t the quality of hockey matter to you?! Bizarre position to take

I don't care who wins. I've seen lots of good hockey throughout the playoffs, I watched that.

Florida and Vegas have played great hockey, that's why they are in the finals. I'm not Lefty, I don't love a dozen teams.

Why I have apathy with the Canuck's. They're not even close to what we're seeing now.

I mean, i already dont care who wins. Good hockey is still fun to watch. Vegas and Florida is a interesting matchup, should be a banger imo. Kinda pulling for Adin Hill as hes an island kid, but Florida is a fun team to watch. Any thoughts on Tom Wilson being available?

The playoff offer stakes and consequences. The Canucks played some decent hockey down the stretch, but they weren't playing without any purpose since before Tocchet was hired. Without the kill or be killed pressure, it can't be the same.

I feel like going after Wilson at age 29 is like trying to add Lucic after the Bruins years. He's likely going to decline in a hurry. You need those guys at 25 before they have all the mileage on them.

Yeah and I've watched lots of young good hockey this year frozen 4, u18 world juniors that I'm sure most of you or others never watched like the Sweden USA final because people didn't care.

I've watched a terrible amount of hockey the past couple months. I might be hockey'd out.

SHL and Allsvenskan, Liiga playoff games, WHL/OHL playoffs game, AHL playoff games, NHL playoff games, u18s, frozen 4.

Ryan Reaves has proved effective into his 30’s. All depends on the $ize of the contract and term.

I will sort of repeat something I mentioned a few days ago and this will show my age.

What people consider good playoffs compared to what there was years ago, IMO is a far cry from good playoffs. I don't know why someone wants to convince Mini or Lordie or even myself to watch the playoffs when we have no interest.

To me good playoffs was when you had the Battle of Alberta (Hunter v Jackson or Semenko) The Habs and the Nordiques brawl, and one of my favorites The Hawks and the Canucks.

I had no interest in the PO the last couple of years because what most people call exciting is watered down for me. I look at it this way, it is like watching the best sitcom for years and years and then in the final years the writers are reaching to make a show and the quality falls.

I have seen some of the best hockey ever played on this planet and to me this last few years comes nothing close to that. I am happy for you guys that are enjoying it, but for me I don't have any interest other than reading the results.

Trust me I do realize this is something an old man screaming at the clouds says but I don't know why some very few get upset. Enjoy the game for those watching.

Very different players. Reaves has been a bottom line winger his entire career. Wilson was a top 6 winger. If Wilson plays as effectively as Reaves at his cap hit it is a disaster.
