I didn't realize how bad it was at the time, but the replay showed he had him lined up 50ft away.


Yeah when they showed the replay on the broadcast, they just showed the hit, not the actual charging before the hit.

I was surprised he got anything until I saw the replay. He came from miles away.

Interesting we didn't see anything for that McDonagh hit tho. Looked pretty bad last night.

For the series I have no vested interest in I'm going for the team uni I dislike the least.

PIT and CAR need to get knocked out fast.

Great first period. 1-1 after 20. Very physcial. Great goal by Turbo. Teravainen and Lorentz I think performed best in the 1st period. Let's see if we can pull ahead in the 2nd.

Solid 2nd. Amazing goal by Jordo. Hopefully we can pull ahead and get the dub in the third.

That was clearly goalie interference by McAvoy. The NHL situation room is so incompetent that teams are afraid to test their luck challenging anything.

Well Washington’s decision not to challenge the goal has cost them the game.

I hope Americans don't have to hear Pierre McGuire during games next season. Dude has a knack in sucking the life out of the commentary.

Since it’s that time of year again, I’m going to guess who the first cup passes would be for each team if they win the cup:

COL - Landeskog to Johnson
VGK - Stone to Pacioretty
CAR - Staal to Martinook
FLA - Barkov to Yandle
PIT - Crosby to Weber
TOR - Tavares to Thornton
WSH - Ovechkin to Dillon
TBL - Stamkos to Savard
MIN - Spurgeon to Suter/Parise
BOS - Bergeron to Smith?
EDM - McDavid to Smith
NYI - Lee* to Greene
NSH - Josi to Rinne
WPG - Wheeler to Stastny/Thompson
STL - O’Reilly to Hoffman?
MTL - Weber to Price

*I’m assuming he’ll be with the team, like Stamkos last year.

St. Louis & Boston weren’t obvious. I went with Smith & Hoffman, since they’re the oldest players without cup rings.


seeing thorton with the cup would be the perfect moment. He has deserved it

MacKinnon's performance last night was about as dominant a game as I've seen from any superstar for as long as I've been watching hockey. 6 SOG. 5 Hits. 2G. 1A. Plus-3 Rating. But the numbers don't tell the whole story. He was as physical as I've ever seen him. His speed and puck-handling at high speed is matched only by McDavid. His no-look passes are beautiful to watch. MacKinnon and McDavid are so head and shoulders above the rest of the league. Wednesday night we get to see both players in action. Can't wait!

The first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is the best 2 week stretch of TV every year for most hockey fans. 3-4 games per night. Doesn't get much better than this! Especially once the North games begin!

Not the teams I would have picked, but can't disagree with the reasoning.
