Lightning should go for the 1st wild card spot
Much rather play the Rangers over the Leafs.


What?! Got to disagree heavily on that one-Rangers have WAY better goaltending, defense, and almost as deep of an offense. Would MUCH rather face the Leafs in the 1st round, even with the way they're playing right now.

This Avs-Oilers game is absolutely magnificent. Kuemper and-amazingly-Koskinen have been fantastic, the difference is that Kuemper has had to make MUCH more difficult saves than the latter, and Foegele had a beautiful redirection that gave Kuemper no chance. 1-0 Edmonton with 5 minutes left.

EDIT: TIE GAME!!!! NATHAN! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKINNON! (Or, in Connor McGahee's words "THE MACK ATTACK IS BACK, JACK!")
What a game.

I diagree with that
Rangers do have the better goaltending but Shesterkin has been falling a little as of late. Still Rangers have better goaltending
Rangers have the best defensemen out of the two teams (Fox) but as a core, It is close. I would give the edge to the Leafs with experience
Both teams have alot of star power on offense but I would take the Leafs star power over the Rangers. And the Leafs depth. Leafs have 15 players with 20+ points compared to Rangers 10.

I don't recall a more complete game out of this team. There was one game against the Ducks in 2016-17 that comes to memory but not to this extent against this good of a team.

Well, be it Rangers or Leafs (or Hurricanes or Penguins or Capitals or Panthers or Bruins), all I care about is if the Lightning win. Shockingly. smile

LOL-I'm alternating between the Avs and Oilers radio, was listening to the Avs (who have one of the best commentators in the game, Connor McGahee) as that slashing was called, and all he had to say as the refs called that was "They're calling a penalty on MacKinnon here?!" *Laughs in disbelief* "Bold move, Cotton." tears of joy

It is a travesty that this game has to be decided by shootout. What a freaking brilliant game.

(Also, Kuemper deserves a big, juicy steak dinner after this one)

100%. He's been arguably the best goalie in the league since the break.
