TB is $18 mil over the cap. Are any others over in the final four? Never mind, they are all over the cap to varying degrees with TB being the worst followed by the NYI, Canadiens and Vegas

Vegas looks strong right now but Tampa is the defending champs until they aren't. I was hoping for a Tampa Colorado final as well but it should be good whoever advances. I'm not counting the Islanders or Canadiens out just yet, in a 7 game series anything can happen. More good hockey, coming up!

Final Four is set. Will the Habs or Islanders upset and interrupt a potential Las Vegas Tampa Bay clash for the cup?

They've been praised as recently as a couple weeks ago but they have been average in their own end this series

So far Vegas wants it more

Maybe not. I'm just imagining a little. I'm not on shrooms tonight, just a little high.

Right but he will definitely get his ass kicked. Him and Samson. People think Sam falls alot now wait till he's taking cross checks to the neck and crumbling to the ice a couple times a shift lol

Can u imagine the beating Jack is going to take in the playoffs?

I certainly never heard of him before this year. He played really well. If Portillo could do that I'd be thrilled. I'll take a great year as the starter for Michigan in a back to regular cawlidge hockey season first though. And maybe a frozen four championship. That would be nice.

That's right. Their goaltending depth is really good. I think their fourth guy came in and shut the Sabres out in his first game or something? That's not saying much but still.

Heard he would like that.

Yep. Do they have the pipeline to supplement the aging team? So far the new young defensemen have been ok and Pastrnak came around at the perfect time for them a few years ago but who's next? I ask because I don't know. Anyone?

Cizikas is a FA

Yep. Love it. They lost to TB last year. They get another chance.

Loving it. They better finish this

That's fine

I don't have favorite chowdaheads but I'm not judging

But he's not so we're free to hate him 🙂

It sucks watching other teams play playoff hockey. It is stoking my fire back up after several years of no Sabres playoffs. It'll be fun watching The Bank rock when they get back. I hope you get there for it!

And..he's back. He is a good young player for them.

No penalty on that elbow to McAvoy will make the NY Saints comments get louder. Especially if he's injured for longer than a period

I just see a very physical matchup taking place, resulting in some bleeding. We'll see. Going to be a good one either way.

Gonna be a good one tonight. It's highly likely there will be blood.
