Not sure how Kadri didn't get suspended for a blind side head shot on Sedin. Oh right, he is a Leaf.

Solid hit. Keep your head up son.

Hitting a leaf should be a bonus not a fine.

I got NHL TV, so I can finally start following the hockey again after 7 years; the league has changed, so has my Minnesoata. I think Koivu is the only player left from when I followed them the first time round.

For those that have NHL TV, will I be able to watch the playoffs on there as well with my subscription (either live or the day after)?

New expansion team in Las Vegas will be called the Golden Knights.

They could have thought of something much better than that.

Logo looks good but yeah the name could have been better.

Sounds fine to me. Plus no other team uses gold in their uniform.....

Las Vegas Dealers would have been sweet.

"We deal in luck AND pain."

"The house always wins"

*insert catch phrase here*

"if you cheat you are going to be buried in the desert"

Apparently Las Vegas needs to come up with a new name for the team since their trademark got denied.

Shared too many similarities with a trademark held by a different sports team.

Blue Jakets are kicking ass. 15 in a row.

Lol what kind of a team name is Blue Jacket?

They are named for the Civil War volunteers form Ohio. My high school are the blue jackets but we have a blue bee as a mascot.

RIP Jackets

Had a good run though. Been waiting for this team to get good and they finally have. Thought last year would be a better year than it was but they are making up for it this year.

Bruins fired Claude Julien as their head coach today.

Was bound to happen with how badly they've been struggling this season and the ultimatum of him needing to get to the playoffs to save his job after how the last 2 seasons ended.

still a bit of a shocker though

Bs management are still slimeballs.

Didn't want any immediate backlash from it so they timed it to be announced when the Pats were doing their championship parade. Figured most people would only care or find out about it later.

Then when the parade had to be delayed, something suddenly came up for the Bs that they had to delay their press conference. Just so happens whatever caused the Bs delay managed to get resolved right when the Pats parade resumed.

lol that's actually kind of hilarious

I still think it's odd to dump a coach when your team is in a playoff spot and he has by all accounts been a great coach for Boston

I get that sometimes you need a change of scenery and sometimes the coach's message starts falling on deaf ears (see: Babcock), but wait til the season is over at least imo

Yeah he pretty much got fired now because they no longer hold a playoff spot.

Was only a matter of time till they lost it because of how many more games they played compared to the Leafs and them being way too mediocre overall. Might have been able to last till the end of the season if the schedule was more balanced in terms of games played.

Metropolitan division being really competitive this year doesn't help either since they probably are going to take both wild card spots left.

The schedule this year has been so fucking weird. At one point the Bruins had like 6 or 7 games played more than a team like Toronto. Meanwhile, the Leafs for no reason had over a week off in their schedule. Stupid NHL

The Bruins seemed to be slowly deteriorating. This was bound to happen.

Coyotes denying rumors of them scouting Seattle and Portland as possible future locations for the team. Supposedly the team was scouting arenas in those two cities during the same time of trying to get an arena deal done with Arizona State which recently failed.

LOL the Canadians.

Firing the head coach while in first place . Stay classy Montreal!

Ben Bishop to the Kings is a baffling trade.

The Hanzal trade is a bit of a head-scratcher too. Great player but MIN gave up a lot for him. He's a UFA after this year too. I get that MIN is all-in right now and didn't want to give up any of their highly touted prospects but man, seems expensive.

B's seem to be one-and done.
C's seem to be one-and-done (also did it last year)
Sox were one-and-done inside of a year.

Gettin' to that point...

Gettin' to that FUCKING point...

> = (

what

Are any Canadian teams about to be eliminated from the playoffs? Maybe he means that?

Oh, probably. Calgary got swept already. Montreal is down 2-3. Toronto is 2-2 though (but will probably lose), Ottawa and Edmonton are ahead in their series

Habs

Edmonton tho

OT again. Great matchups this new system made.

Bruins :(

The 2 Caps fans in Maple Leaf Square who cheered the final goal of the series should have been hauled out of there....in bodybags. Why? They wore a U.S. NHL teams' sweater in Canadian borders.

Fuck Ovechkin up the ass like the Russian faggot that he is, here's hoping he gets his brain scrambled off the ice into ground beef against the Pens, and that Sidney Crosby continues to gag-rape the fans of the Capitals, forevermore.

Alexander Ovechkin has NO RIGHT at all to know what it's like to win a Cup, and to try to execute a pro-Russia political coup over the NHL....which I'm sure NBC won't mind, cause the U.S. is taking it up their asshole from Russia too. > = (

Is don cherry your dad?

Toronto Maple Leaves.

Only Sens and Oilers until Ronic really explooooodes. Death threats already though lol

Typical NHL fans in both the U.S. and Canada....wanting Canada to be fucked for money.

Fuck that shit. Not one dollar that we in Canada spend on the NHL should go to any international expansion of that league's operations. It should be spent on telling the U.S. where to go, while all the teams Gary created die, like both Florida teams, the Hurricanes, Ducks, Sharks, Coyotes, and Stars.

Fuck them all.

And fuck Gary for talking to China too. Like us hockey fans in Canada want to be slaves to China's fucked up whims.
