Terrible for Tavares. Really hope he’s ok.

Also, the fact that that fight happened shows just how stupid hockey culture and “the code” is. Perry tries to avoid Tavares and Foligno thinks he has to fight him now? Extremely stupid.

Drinking game: take a small sip of beer every time Ryan Pulock misses the net with a slap shot and you’ll still end up piss drunk

Holy shirt. If you're not enjoying the game you're watching turn on the Battle of Florida. It's got everything.

We're tied in Nassau. Mayfield put it in for the Isles. 1-1.

Edit: Not long after that, we had another goal. Jeff Carter scores for the Pens. 2-1 Pittsburgh.

Tavares' injury is entirely the consequence of the style of hockey that is encouraged in the playoffs. Analysts are so coked up about the rough and tough hockey in the playoffs that you end up with Chairot making meaningless neutral zone hits on star players and taking them out of the postseason entirely.

You want the game to grow? Stop rewarding fourth line plugs for stupid **** in key games. Stop rewarding dull play. People aren't watching that Florida/Tampa game because Ross Colton and Ryan Lomberg are playing. They're watching it because a lot of talented players are racking up the score.

Wish Tavares the best, doesn’t matter who you cheer for you don’t want to see that. Also I’m sorry for doubting you Carey I’ll never do it again

Crosby was supposed to be in the penalty box but instead he’s on the ice for a pens goal I cannot with the refs they may as well be wearing pens jerseys that say “we love you Sid 💦💦💦” on the back

Florida is on the brink of going down 3-0 if they give up a goal in OT. Let’s hope they have some of the 2018 Capitals luck. I’ll predict/hope that Frank Vatrano is this year’s Lars Eller.
