JT Compher getting interviewed pre-game. Looks like a big piece of COL’s success.

I’m too lazy to research how and why we traded him.

Come on Boston.  I can't believe I'm saying that.

[Thorner]

Boston got jobbed by that non interference call. Difference in the game.

Didn’t think they had a prayer Great game boys

Calgary might have the best home sweaters in hockey

[SwampD]

I'm glad that TO won because I really hate Boston, but, man, Babcock is such a doofus that he makes it really hard to root for them.

But isn't it creepy that every single person in that arena is wearing one?

They have that olde skool look.  Reminds me of watching hockey in the 80's.

As much as I detest red unis, I just can't hate these.

but,…

these are red unis,

so I hate them.

I like red!  With the gold and white trim, looks good. Retro.

I can almost imagine that's hair on top of Mike Smith's head, sticking out above an old hockey mask.

These really are pretty nice, though.

It’s a little strange now that you’ve pointed it out. Never seen anything like that.

Edmonton is similar. It's like everyone there works for the same James Bond supervillain.

That would be my vote for best away jerseys. Though everyone should go back to home whites....

And the Canadiens would still have the best jerseys, home or away.  I just love them.  I know this is SabreSpace heresy.

He was in the ROR deal. Up until this calendar year, we were reminded of that fact every day by posters.

Wow...first time in NHL history the top seeds from each conference both lost in the first round...and they did it emphatically with one getting swept and the other losing 4 games to 1.

Even worse except for small pockets of time in the games the 8th seeded teams simply looked much better.

Jets set a record for blown leads in the 3rd this year... not to mention one shot on goal on a 4 minute PP.

Absolutely pathetic.

Buff played like crap and Chiarot is not an NHL D man.

Ehlers is still waiting for his first playoff goal...ever.

To top it off, this will be the 2nd year in a row that the Jets won't have their 1st round pick.

Would you trade Buff straight up for Bogo?

Nah.  Very good but a bit busy.

Me too.  Rooting for Marchand is pain.

Ah, okay. Well, we got a fantastic 2-way forward in return.

... About that.

Montreal's reds are definitely one of the best home uniforms, possibly #1, but their road whites are just 'good' to me.  I would prefer something like:

(forgive the crude concept drawing, as started with this, which is cool in its own way.)

Could make the 'C' or the yoke blue for a slightly different look.  Florida is close to that, but the gold doesn't contrast with the red like the blue does.

Honestly, there aren't many white jerseys that I do like a lot.  The Oilers and the (I hate to say it) Bruins are among the best (IMO).

Edit: I like the Ranger's look, despite disliking word marks for logos.

A good friend's dad from Toronto just lost his wife of 60+ years. He said he just wants to see the Leafs win before he goes. So I have to kind of to root for Toronto in this case. It's okay because I hate the Bruins just as much.
