Pans in………6???

Barbashev will be fined, might get a game suspension for the Gudas hit.


(And yes, I want the Preds to sign Ivan for next year)



The Pans have a choice for Game 3. Play hockey or keep up the nonsense and be golfing by Sunday. It isn’t rocket scientology

Wish to hell I could get it. Had CBC hockey for decades before I moved.

Agree 1000%

Besides atrocious commentary, the camera work is not even worthy of a peewee game. The producers have NO idea which cameras to use and when, so we are constantly watching a player skate to the bench while the other 9 players on the ice are jumping on Tkachuk. They have zero feel for the game. Its terrible.

On the bright side, we get to see this year's official commercial featuring Sixpence None the Richer singing "Kiss Me" about 1000 times a game. So there is that.

I am starting to have my doubts about the Panthers.

Any team with Nick Cousins on their first line can't be take seriously, can it?

On the other side, I think people are finally starting to realize how good this Vegas team is. The common theme has been whoever came out of the West would get trampled by the East, I think the Knights are using that as motivation.

i always felt Vegas was the strongest in the West. Goaltending was suspect but that is proving wrong. I do not see Florida winning a game at all.. but as they say, you are not in trouble until you lose on home ice

And Jack Eichel might win a Cup before McJesus.

The NHL is always super contemporary with their musical choices. Most of the music I hear in arenas is not only before all the player's time, but often before their parent times.

He's been really good, not scoring as much later in the playoffs, but driving play every time he is on the ice. Got rocked hard last night, shook it off, and set up a goal for his team in the 3rd period.

Bobrovsky could return to his normal form at any point and make this series very different.

Yeah, it is. I dont really mean that. Mainly mean some of the 'arena' rock from the 70s and 80s some places still play.

Still nothing is as dumb as Detroit playing Dont Stop Believing.

Defensively he has been really good in the playoffs.
