I desperately wanted the Charlie Murphy version but it does not come up in SS gif database.

You know what's funny for all you physicality is key ppl, Florida out hit Washington 56 to 43. 

and for you statisticians it's rarely about how many hits but more importantly about who you hit and when.

Wait--there's a database of these things?  That's where you all get them from?

A reporter reports the statistics of a former player’s first ever playoff game. You interpret that as holding a grudge… 🙄

I do. I think it's a clear shot at the guy. It's an easy shot, and if Florida bounces back he might regret taking it, but Reinhart dumped on him and now he's taking a shot. I'm amused.

I’m sure the guy who has been a professional journalist for decades is going to rue the day he posted statistics without commentary.

Inside. 

I'm not suggesting it affects his career or anything, but as a person I'm sure when Reinhart gave him a hard time inside he was thinking "what a d..." even if he had to be professional about it and INSIDE it gives him some satisfaction if Reinhart fails. Justifies his critiques, even if it is just to himself. 

Hence the stat post with no commentary. Let's it speak for itself. 

Bruins sticking with Ullmark tonight. I suspect they go down 2-0. 

Personally hoping the Laughs Tampa series gets nastier.

 Not me, that data base is pretty limited imo.
And I second the thought of having a thumbs down choice.

No, I don’t. I think he would’ve reported exactly the same thing if Sam had a first star kind of night.

Well, Ullmark was here for a long time, left at the same time Reino did, also in departure not overflowing with good vibes, and, like Reino, played poorly in his first playoff game -- and there was no tweet from Harrington, positive or negative, detailing Ullmark's performance.

I am pretty confident it was a shot by Harrington at Reino.

IMO it was a shot carefully crafted to leave room for interpretation. It's more like an opportunity that wasn't passed up. Harrington certainly could have chosen to tweet something else and didn't. Why he chose to tweet what he did seems relatively obvious but can also be played off as simply factual and of local interest.

Sort of like how many of us bemusedly watched Eichels point totals as Vegas was imploding down the stretch.

Also its about the cumulative effect those hits have over a 7 game series.

What are the odds Dallas blows it up after losing this series to Calgary? I think they keep their core for another year max if they lose this series. They're in an awkward spot where they're just good enough to get into the playoffs, but not good enough to do anything once reaching the post season. Benn and Seguin have really fallen off over the past few years. I'd love for the Sabres to be one of the teams the picks the bones of their team when they inevitably fall apart.

I will say that I am a huge fan of Hintz and Robertson, but no chance those two are getting traded.

[Zamboni]

Then there’s the very common knowledge of Harrington is just nothing but an immature self-aggrandizing prick. Who views himself as more important in the local sports world than he really is.

[Curt]

What is that supposed to be on Carolina’s sweater?  I also don’t like this all black look.  No way they win this one.

I thought the goalie got kicked in mask after he was down. Not sure who it was 

[SwampD]

How can these idiots say that Pasta was losing his balance?

[Norcal]

Bs and Cs are gonna rip each other apart

***** Boston.

***** Boston. Twice.

[Norcal]

Why the ***** did Pastrnak reach his hands out on that play? 

Possibly trying to distract him I guess but what an idiot. 

He should be suspended a game imo

[Norcal]

Also...cannot believe Ullmark got the start...***** him!

[Pimlach]

Can’t wait until the Sabres are in the playoffs  

Two of my priorities are Boston and Toronto lose.  So, even if this is hard to say …. Go Canes!  Go Bolts!  
 

Then Go Blues!!!!  That is who I’m pulling for.
