I get that certain users can be abrasive at times but it's not cool that you're openly 'sub-tweeting' about the guy on arguably the most popular thread at the moment. I'm not interested in handing out warnings/infractions over this, I think there's a good lesson to be learned here about remembering that we're all human. Every one of is is fallible. We all have biases, some worse than others. He - and everyone else here - has something to offer. Working with other users instead of using the anonymity of the internet to default to antagonistic at the first opportunity only helps us get better at this. It took me a while to quit being 100% snark and unwilling to adjust my opinions but I genuinely feel like I know more about the sport now that I have.

That said I do owe @smokingun71 an apology for being in an absolutely piss-poor mood regarding the Oilers over the past week. I didn't need to direct it at him or anyone else.

Peace boys.

EDM announced Mike Smith will start in goal tonight

— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) May 24, 2021

Why is this news? Has anyone seen Mikko Koskinen play?

Something something .920 goaltender since Mike Smith returned but something something team doesn't trust him something something can't stop the first shot of the game to save his life.

I'm tired of defending the guy but it's not the wrong call to go Smith. He's an athletic freak of nature (can physically handle a back-to-back) and he's the bonafide starter this year.

Lmao. This Canada team is a disgrace

These world championships have been absolutely asinine lol.

Imagine if Canada loses to Italy

Or Kazakhstan 😬

Finland did it already. Wouldn't surprise me if Canada does it as well, if they can't get their ducks in a row in terms of scoring.

Team Canada has the same number of wins as Blake Comeau HOF votes.

For once Canada losing at the WC will not be at a surprise to me or a disappointment

The Canadian WC team has way too many kids. Over half the team is under 23.

Not a great debut for Luongo's GM career and not a great advertisement for Gallant getting a head coaching job in the NHL.

last year everyone was begging him to play lul, man have times changed

I wouldn’t put too much into it the NHL players are tired and as you said the team is young, if anything the GM should get more blame than the coach

Some big games tonight, including 3 potential elimination games

People in the west coast are so lucky with the game timings

These are my Predictions
Penguins beat Islanders 4-2
Leafs beat Habs 3-2
Lightning beat Panthers 6-3
Jets beat Oilers 4-3 (OT)
Knights beat Wild 4-1

I resent all of these outcomes. Hopefully you go 0 for 5 today.

I hope I go 2 for 5

I want the Lightning and Knights to win, not the Jets, Leafs, and Penguins

Willy Nilly making haters look silly.

Yup, they sure do. I wasn't expecting this kind of dominance from him.

I want the complete opposite of you @Devil1122

Let's see what happens lol 👀

To be honest I don't really care about the TBL-FLA or VGK-MIN, I actually probably want the lightning and wild to win.

Are you guys really that big fans of David Savard that you’d rather he have a shot at a cup over the entire Panthers’ roster?

I mainly want the Isles to win. In the other series, I just slightly prefer one team over another.

Nah, I'm just not a huge panthers fan.

I don't like either team that much.
