What do you guys think of Paul Bissonette as an analyst? He has been called a "professional troll", but I like him.
Dallas Wins On OT Goal By Duchene!!!!!! Looked like MacKinnon was scrambling for the puck, and completely blocked Georgiev from seeing the shot. It was somewhat fortuitous, but Dallas was the better team, and they deserved to win:
It’s only fair since Dallas got robbed by Toronto with the 1st overtime period "winning" goal, I can’t believe that decision!
I started to watch at the end of the 3rd, and the kids, Robertson and Johnston were playing solid but Matt Duchene was the one who made the biggest impression. He was all over the ice and constantly in the the face of Georgiev. The veteran forward was playing like he really didn’t want to go back home having to play in a do or die game.
True it was only fair...and the best team won....will have to wait now CANUCKS---OILERS playing tonight.....should b a thriller too....enjoy.
Mike Sullivan named US Olympic Team Hockey Coach:
www.espn.com
This is a big deal. The USA will field its best Olympic Team ever. They have both offensive talent and goaltender and defensive talent. It should be fun.
Penguins' Mike Sullivan named U.S. hockey coach for '26 Olympics
Mike Sullivan has been selected U.S. coach for the 2026 Milan Olympics, an expected move that puts the two-time Stanley Cup champion in charge of the country's bid for its first gold medal since the "Miracle On Ice" in 1980.
Edmonton has to have this game. McDavid and Draisatll had a combined 1 point the last game and they are being controlled by Vancouver's big physical gorilla defensemen. Another 1 point combined performance at home CANNOT HAPPEN. Edmonton is already stymied by disappointing services from their goalies, they can't have their 2 offensive superstars also laying eggs.
Tkachuk, Cole Caulfield are the Studs As Team USA Advances!!!!!!!!

Brady Tkachuk's 4 points lift U.S. into playoffs at worlds
Brady Tkachuk tallied four points and Cole Caufield scored twice to lead the U.S. to a win over Poland and a trip to world hockey championships playoff round.
With their win today 4-3 vs FINLAND Team Canada is still perfect...with no superstar...sorry TAVARES.....lol...BUT un bon mixte of young and experienced players....BINNINGTON playing as #1 goaly n'est rien de rassurant pour la suite....à suivre.
Good ESPN article on Dallas Stars and how they have made it this far:
www.espn.com
What we've learned from Stars' playoff run, what's next
Dallas is halfway to a Stanley Cup. Here are the biggest trends so far and which ones will stick in the next rounds.
Pickard played well 1 game. He is a .905 % save pct goalie which I believe is at or below league average.
Reasonable picks- I see both teams as favorites in the next round. I am hoping NY Rangers home ice advantage will count for something. Florida won the season series 2-1 but all games were close. Dallas won the season series with both Edmonton and Vancouver.
If there was as much confidence in Pickard with the Edmonton coaching staff as you have, he would be starting, but he isn't. Skinner back in net:
Oilers to start Stuart Skinner in net for Game 6 vs. Canucks
Goaltender Stuart Skinner will start in net as the Oilers attempt to stave off elimination versus the visiting Canucks in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal series.
Yeah, like game 5 last year when Skinner was put in net after being pulled in game 4, they lost that game. I would put Campbell in before Skinner today.
