I-90 W Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 They'll still win the cup. Wouldn't surprise me, I still think they're the favorites even without him. Quote
Eleven Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 OK, what's the rule in the playoffs? Does he have to be symptom-free for a week? Quote
WildCard Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Posted May 2, 2017 OK, what's the rule in the playoffs? Does he have to be symptom-free for a week? Not sure but don't count on him coming back. With his history, he might be done until next winter Quote
Thorner Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 And with that, the intrigue of this year's playoffs goes way down. Quote
Eleven Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 And with that, the intrigue of this year's playoffs goes way down. Not necessarily. What if they win the series without him? What if they win the whole thing without him? That would definitely be intriguing. Quote
Thorner Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Not necessarily. What if they win the series without him? What if they win the whole thing without him? That would definitely be intriguing. Thats definitely true, and a good point. My mind bypassed that scenario, admittedly, as I have a hard time seeing that happening. But it would definitely be cool to see. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 What if they win the series without him? What if they win the whole thing without him? That would definitely be intriguing. Quote
LTS Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Marc Methot's finger doesn't hurt as much today. Quote
sodbuster Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Not necessarily. What if they win the series without him? What if they win the whole thing without him? That would definitely be intriguing.Brb, starting Crosby to Buffalo rumors on Twitter and HF. Quote
Thorner Posted May 2, 2017 Report Posted May 2, 2017 Marc Methot's finger doesn't hurt as much today. Yup, I'm sure he's taking a level of personal happiness from a career-threatening injury (that could have even further lasting consequences, given the player's history, and what we know about head trauma) due to being on the receiving end of a dime-a-dozen slash that you see 50 times a game, that unfortunately resulted in an exceptionally uncommon result.

inkman Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 The play certainly looked mostly accidental. But Niskanen didn't look like he was particularly worried about not popping Crosby on his way down. Accidental, with a dash of opportunistic. The whole defending himself thing was somewhere between fabrication and justification. He may not have had a ton of options but I guarantee you his only option wasn't blasting him in the face on the way down. Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 The Rangers-Canadiennes series might have been entertaining, but this game sucks. Quote
SwampD Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 The whole defending himself thing was somewhere between fabrication and justification. He may not have had a ton of options but I guarantee you his only option wasn't blasting him in the face on the way down. All game, both teams at both ends of the ice were crosschecking (I miss him) the out of anything that moved in front of the net. It was pretty amazing what the refs were letting go. To me, it just seemed like another instance of that only Sidney lost his balance. Quote
Norcal Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 Reaves is a dirty son of a bitch. Call it playoff hockey if you want but all he does is go around actin like a goon and throwin cheap shots on guys, Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 Exactly. -- That was a farce of an embellishment call on Subban. Ref should get fined for that one. Good lord. Quote
Thorner Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 Ref should get fined for that one. Good lord. He was definitely looking to call that on him. Quote
Norcal Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 What a shot by Neal...wow That was a farce of an embellishment call on Subban.It was Quote
SwampD Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 The winner of the Stanley Cup has to come from this series. This is just beautiful looking hockey. Not just this game, but all series. Quote
Norcal Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 The winner of the Stanley Cup has to come from this series. This is just beautiful looking hockey. Not just this game, but all series. I hate Laviolette but he's a damn good coach And I was just thinkin that Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Posted May 3, 2017 Unless Iceland has some hockey on their TV stations, ill be missing the rest of the 2nd round..... I'll scout for a GM while out here and find one with a really cool name Quote
