Les Caps encore une fois dans le gros trouble...malgré 2 buts d'OVI ont été incapables de résister aux Blue Jackets....ont bombardé Bobrovsky de près de 60 tirs mais rien à faire....s'en vont à Columbus...n'aura pas de facile.

Et que dire des Kings...complètement assommé....sont dans les câbles....le ko est proche.....Vegas is on fire....je croyais bien que leur route s'arrêterait là...mais non ils continuent de nous surprendre...et Fleury est toujours impressionnant.

1 game away from a Vegas Sweep in what soon could become the Vegas Sweepskates. The road to Lord Stanley's Cup may go through both Nashville, Tenn, and Las Vegas, NV

I did predict Nashville (or Winnipeg) would be playing for the Cup against either Tampa or Boston. But now i realize it would be foolish to count out the Penguins. They could very well repeat as Stanley Cup champs.

Do any of you guys realize that the Bruins' Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak line has 20 points collectively against the Leafs through 2 games? 20 points! My goodness! Where is the defense? The Leafs have no line that can play D?

I have never even heard of one line gathering 20 points in 2 games in a playoff series.

Belle victoire des Leafs...les jeunes ont rebondi et Andersen a été éclatant.....thanks refs for the first goal.
AVS 5-3 on Preds...MacKinnon 2 goals...
Devils won on TBAY....Hall is on fire.
And what about the Sharks...8-1 on Ducks....wow...they are on a mission.....good luck guys.

Glen Guluzzan fired by the Flames.....not really a surprise.....Boucher the next one?

 

[tiga]

I think Boucher will survive the summer and start next season in Ottawa.

Les finalistes du Vézina sont maintenant connus......HELLEBUYCK---VASSILEVSKI---RINNE......my choice would be HELLEBUYCK but am pretty sure RINNE will get it.

Les finalistes du Vézina sont maintenant connus......HELLEBUYCK---VASSILEVSKI---RINNE......my choice would be HELLEBUYCK but am pretty sure RINNE will get it.

Definitely not Vasilevsky as his objective stats are way below the other two. Hellebuyck and Rinne's collective stats are so close you can almost flip a coin, but truth be told Rinne's stats are better- by a pussy hair.

I would also argue that Rinne has been good for a few years and has paid his dues. Hellebuyck is a younger goalie who has not yet paid his dues, but looks like he can be a real horse for years. But first he needs to pay the dues.

Either argument favors Rinne

Rinne had the most votes for his nomination and his stats are good this year.

Washington is suffering from a Covered Blow Job...

Vegas Sweeps!

Vegas held the Kings to 3 total goals in this series. That's playing some defense.

 

[gaby]

Yep just spectacular,,,,and Fleury his second shutout . Kings look miserable....Carter-Brown-Kopitar-Doughty....niet niet niet niet.

-Yes Jets won 2-0...ils devraient finir ca Vendredi soir chez eux.

-ouf....Caps won in second period of ot....and who scored the winning one? oh yeah Lars Eller on a very lucky goal assisted by Pelley.....ca vous rappelle des souvenirs?...lollll. Je crois encore aux Caps.

 

[gaby]

I think Boucher will survive the summer and start next season in Ottawa.

Le gros atout de Boucher est qu'il ne coûte pas cher et quand on connaît Melnyk faut pas penser à un coach d'expérience....va continuer de puiser à même l'organisation et aller nulle part....à moins qu"il ne se tourne vers Marc Crawford....ce qui ne serait pas une mauvaise idée dans les circonstances....my two cents.

[EagerBeaver]

The Ducks were defeathered and roasted. Basically SJ made Confit out of them.

 

[tiga]

Bergeron will not play for Boston tonight...

 

[tiga]

Wow Pleky is making a difference...

 

[gaby]

[gaby]
