Looks like Rogers place got flooded recently, will not impact the possible games rhough. Figure for $1 billion it would have been leak proof.

Rogers Place gets water damage in severe thunderstorm, won't slow hub city plans

The home of the Edmonton Oilers was flooded during a severe thunderstorm Thursday that saw torrential downpours and dime-size hail hammer down on the city.

Yesssss...finally HOCKEY today ......3 good games....exhibition.....après tous ces mois d'inactivité i will enjoy it......hope you will too......PENS--HABS-OILERS are on.....and no COVID YET

 

[gaby]

3 good games....Leafs and Oilers could b serious contenders.....McDavid did not lost his touch with 2 goals.......bizarre to watch the game with this very special ambiance BUT on s'habitue.

 

[gaby]

HEY....it starts today at noon.....5 games......so today i will go with NYR---OILERS,should b the best game-----NYI-----PIT and WPG......enjoy.

 

[gaby]

Oh boy.....surprise surprise surprise.....not the results i was expecting...lol.....BUT PENS---OILERS--WPG will bounce back...

I couldn't believe the Rangers started Lundqvist in game 1 over Sheshterkin. King Henrik responded with 34-37 (.919 save %), a credible performance, but why was Igor's Rookie of the Year performance left on the bench?

 

[EagerBeaver]

Does anyone know if this round is best 3 of 5 or best 4 of 7?

 

[Zigme]

Does anyone know if this round is best 3 of 5 or best 4 of 7?

Best 3 out of 5
Than back to usual 7
whoohoo

 

[EagerBeaver]

OK so the Rangers have to respond quickly. They went 4-0 against Carolina in the regular season so Carolina was due to win a game. I would put Igor in the nets game 2 and ride him even though Lundqvist was fine in game 1.

 

[gaby]

5 more games today...will watch BRUINS--FLYERS and LEAFS---CBJ.....should b 2 good games.

 

[EagerBeaver]

Apparently Sheshterkin was "unfit to play" but it's not due to Covid because he was seen at the arena. I don't understand all the secrecy on hockey injuries. The Rangers haven't said whether he can play in game 2 or what's the matter with him.

 

[gaby]

Yes very frustrating all the secrecy on players injuries....and it's even worse with the COVID....only the NHL could address this issue....not the teams.......very strange,

Shesterkin was scheduled to start game 1 but he seems to be currently dealing with a recent minor injury, possibly suffered during their last exhibition game against the Isles. I'm told that the team expected him to be ready for yesterday's game but he wasn't yet 100% so he's now unofficially listed as day-to-day.

The NHL is getting a lot of heat from the media for being the least transparent professional league this summer when it comes to injuries. Not only will they refuse to disclose which players may test with COVID-19 but their new policy includes all injuries. My take on this is that it'll only lead to more speculation & a lot of rumours which often can make things worse.

Nice to see the Habs beat Pittsburgh last night. I know many habs fans who are on the fence in this series. They're happy when the habs win but many are realistic that they don't have the team to make it to the finals & would rather see the habs enter the Alexis Lafreniere lottery once the season officially ends. Only teams losing in the preliminary round will have a chance to chose #1 overall. I feel the same way in regards to the Leafs. Sure i want them to beat Columbus and advance but on the other hand it'd be great for the organization & its fan base if Lafreniere ended up with them. Also great to see the Flyers easily beat the heavily-favored Bruins today.

 

[gaby]

I still believe Leafs will do it and reach the playoffs....trop de talents dans cette équipe.....et les Flyers dirigés habilement par Vigneault peuvent surprendre........can't wait to see HABS--PENS tonight....j'ai fortement l'impression que PITTSBURG va rebondir....lol

 

[gaby]

EDM 6 CHI 3....oh wow another spectacular performance by McDavid with a hat trick ......
PITT 3 MTL 1...just fair.....BUT Price did very well.....big win also for the JETS vs very agressive--inspired FAMES....it's not over.

Will the Rangers survive today???,,,i doubt. Will watch LEAFS....a must win.

 

[gaby]

Bye bye Rangers...Canes too hot.....will Lundquist b back next year ?...probably but not with NYR......FLAMES also are very hot wtih a 6-2 win......CANES and FLAMES are on a mission....very fun to watch......belle victoire des LEAFS 3-0....they will do it.....even CANUCKS did well....
HABS and OILERS are on today....should b easier for EDM...lol.

 

[gaby]

Oh wow....HABS 4 PENS 3.....what a surprising comeback.....losing 3-1 and bang bang bang,,,,,,3 straight goals ......assez incroyable......la suite tomorrow..........OILERS...hiiiiiii,,,,,,,second lost BUT they will do it .

 

[gaby]

Gosh....LEAFS play with fire.....blows three-goal lead and DUBOIS with a h.trick........Hopefully FLAMES did much better with a 4-0 win to reach first round....i like them....sorry for the JETS ...injuries to keys players did not help....

Wow today.....HABS---LEAFS--OILERS--CANUCKS are all on......let's go guys for the SUPERFECTA......lol.........enjoy.
