Nah what stands out is that Subban got on the cover of NHL 19. Has Makar ever made a cover? No.


tears of joy

It’s pretty crazy to go from Hughes vs Makar as the hot topic all last season and now I doubt it’s even a debate. Makar is going to be the reason Canada would/ could win Gold.


Glad I scored his Young Guns Canvas card out of a 5 dollar pack a couple days ago lol.

That was a tough loss today. We gotta win the next game or else it'll be tough to dig our way back into the series. Well played by Tampa, but that GWG by Goodrow was super cheap. I could see us giving Mrazek a look for next game. Ned is gonna bust at some point, and besides, the dude needs a break.


Ned was fantastic for most the game tho. Yes he had a brain fart but you gotta back him next game surely.

I'm not really into sports betting (or betting of any kind, really), but in the infinite wisdom of the oddsmakers, the Canadiens - who are playing in a Game 7 against the Tavares-less, potentially Muzzin-less, Toronto Maple Leafs team - are somehow +170 underdogs. Any other Leaf fans seriously considering putting money on MTL in that game to soften the blow of a potential loss?

I may be late to the party here but why start Lehner? Hasn't Fluery been good for Vegas?

Warning to Avs fans:

This is your chance to save your fav HAT & go buy the 'cheap' $5 lid in the concession - cause Nate's gonna make you throw them from the rafters before nights end...

I said it once I’ll say it again. This year’s finals will be Avs vs Tampa, and it’ll be chaotic as f*ck.

If everyone’s “healthy” (in the lineup/ not dead from previous series’) - that’ll be such a fun series with goaltending, goals, defence, super stars + super team power. Would be an ideal series to display hockey to new fans.

By outscore I mean he will directly affect more goals than all of Vegas. So if Mackinnon has 10 pts Vegas as a team will score 9 goals.


Right now MacKinnon has more goals than the Golden Knights.

I'm not angry or upset or worried about the Maple Leafs. I'm just disappointed.

I'm not a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs and I don't work for them in any capacity. I have absolutely no effect on how they play and what they do on or off the ice. Why should I be angry that a sports team that I have no control over didn't win a game? I couldn't have done anything and the absolute worst that will happen is some guy on a spreadsheet website will pull up a post from a week ago to make fun of me. Whatever.

This team can absolutely win tomorrow night, but it's much better to expect them to lose. And if they do lose, this will probably be the most disappointing loss out of them because the team doesn't have any excuses to hide behind. It will entirely be on whatever team wants to go out and play tomorrow night. And if (or when) they lose tomorrow, they absolutely will deserve every amount of ridicule and criticism. Because they shouldn't lose tomorrow, they shouldn't even be playing a game 7.

For what it's worth, I don't blame Dubas. I know that's might seem like a hot take Tuesday morning, but he has done absolutely everything in his power to make this team as effective as possible. I don't really blame Keefe either even though his challenge last night was pretty ill-advised. Matthews and Marner have to take the blame for losing if they do. They're over a point per game players in the season playing under point per game hockey in the playoffs. Marner has been especially atrocious and instead of proving people he's worth that 11 million contract, he sent the puck flying over the glass. On the penalty kill.

But you know what's really disappointing? They started playing when they went down 0-2 last night. And they tied it in what, five minutes? The same thing happened the game before. They were entirely capable of winning both nights without needing overtime. Galchenyuk and Dermott don't make mistakes if the game is already over. That's on the team needing to score.

I'm disappointed because I've seen this before. I seen it more than once. It's disappointing because I thought this team was different. It's disappointing because I thought this team had learned. They have 60 minutes on Monday to prove me wrong, but I don't expect much.

Sorry for a long-winded dramatic post, but I wanted to get this off my chest somewhere. Getting any more worked up over the blue tree leaf team isn't worth the time or the energy.


If the top players had asked for less money, the Leafs would have had more cap space to help the team. That's one reason why I want the Leafs to lose game 7.

Not the best guy on the planet but for game changing players Canada gets another. Adding some real quality depth for a guy who’d probably have some unreal guys around him to make bigger ice work even better for him.
