The Devils are somehow in this series despite this being one of the more one-sided series of this playoffs. That should be the rest of the series at bare minimum and I wouldn’t be upset with rest of the playoffs if Vegas were to advance. Deliberate attempt to break his arm and take him out of the playoffs. The NHL won’t protect its stars with tough guys anymore, so someone has to. I wouldn't expect much from to DoPS, which has been a joke for basically its entire existence. I expect 1-2 games. This type of shit is straight from the 80's, and has no place in the modern game. Yesterday the Leafs won and there was a scrum at the end. Bad blood, yes. But nothing insane. The refs lost complete control of that Oilers/Knights series. I’m expecting the series. It’s 6:30 in Vegas. He’s had his meeting. This seems more like the NHL taking the temperature of social media before it does something f***ed up.

1 f***ing game!!!!!!!! Absolute horseshit. It sets a really f***ing bad precedent for a game that is actually friendly to skill players for the most part. But hey, I guess it's open season on star players.

As per SportsNet Stats Twitter
During the regular season there were two instigator penalties in the final 5 minutes. Neither resulted in a suspension.
So “da rulzbook!!!!” Out the window again. This league and it’s discipline is a joke.

This is why you don't ever do shit like chant "WE WANT FLORIDA" because you ain't getting quite what you want.

The Leafs may have gotten as far as the second round, but it wasn't because they played well enough to get there. For much of the playoffs, the team's performance was very lacklustre. I still firmly believe had Tampa not let their foot off the gas, the Leafs would've been eliminated in the first round again.

I still firmly believe had Tampa not let their foot off the gas, the Leafs would've been eliminated in the first round again. The problem is that he's tinkered with this team SO much that you basically HAVE to think that it's the core. He's tried to add experience in guys like Spezza, Thornton, Simmons. He's tried to strengthen the blueline in Brodie and Barrie. They're tried to add some sandpaper in Foligno. Some skill in Kase. And finally this season got a bunch of playoff-type players in Schenn, ROR, and Acciari. A bunch of different goaltenders in Andersen, Mrazek, Campbell, Samsonov, Murray, etc. Nothing has worked. Sometimes Auston shows up, sometimes Marner shows up, sometimes Tavares shows up. This time Rielly played his ass off. But when the chips are down, it's always somebody playing on their own while the rest of the stars not only get left off the scoresheet but seem not all that engaged. I don't know what it is about it, but it's f***in rotten. I've seen it before with the Blues. We had very, very good teams in the early-mid 2010s, but Oshie, Perron, Backes, etc just never put it together in the playoffs for more than 1 series. They blew that up and Oshie ended up having a great playoffs with Washington when they won the cup in 2018, Perron played a huge role with us when he came back in 2019. Sometimes guys just don't work well together and you have to change it up. This is decidedly one of those times. They'll scapegoat Dubas, but he's tried putting a lot of different pieces around them and in the end, it's always the core getting shut down that ends their season.

Rooting for the Hockey Cats against the stupid Canes. Rain rats upon then.

Oilers out.
Seattle to win tomorrow for a Vegas/Seattle West Final and Gary Bettman may never lose his erection.

Well the Stars won unfortunately.
Guess it's either Panthers or the Knights. Would have been interesting had Seattle pulled it out though, given that would've been 3 teams out of 4 that had never won a cup.

To be fair, the Kraken rose a Cup banner like a bunch of f***ing losers because Seattle won a Cup in 1917. It's as bad as all the Cup banner the Sens have, as though they won them.

Tempe has rejected the Coyotes' proposals. It is extremely likely if not certain that they are gone.

If they do move, Milwaukee makes the most sense. If they go to Quebec or Hamilton, it would wonk up the divisions and conferences.
