Oh true that’s probably more likely with Backstrom about to go on LTIR

Didnt I say somewhere that if Backstrom goes to LTIR we see Kadri or Malkin join Washington. Cause as soon as I heard Backstrom surgery back when they got eliminated I said Kadri going to Washington as they can give him 8mill now

Last I heard the 2 are good friends. But on the ice they viewed eachother as rivals

Like there is a picture of Malkin at Ovie's birthday last year giving a speech about him and how much fun it was battling him and stuff

So while it may be frowned upon if Washington comes in with a 8mill x 4 year deal dont see why Malkin doesnt go nah. Play out the remainder of his NHL career with his buddy and try for 1 more cup

Media gonna explode the day Malkin signs in Washington and Malkin despite his legacy will be viewed as a traitor by Penguins fans

But it would make for some great content

I believe both teams need to learn how to line change better.

They counted Kuemper since he got an assist ( n.35) so actually 5 skaters and a goalie we’re on the ice

Well ain't that even more awkward

Edit: actually it is not because there's 7 numbers on that sheet.

i feel like you cant complain about too many men when your team has more men on the ice than the team you are arguing about lmao. lightning legit have 7 players on the ice not including vasy.

edit: not directed at you just hit quote instead of reply.

To be fair I think this whole ordeal happened because Kuemper played that puck forward so fast, both teams were still right in the middle of changing after the previous play, which ultimately let Kadri to be that open and ultimately score.

Only thing that matters to me is that Kadri's change was "legal" in a sense, and he didn't steal some time by switching early, but I don't think this was showed in the feed.

call was correct but ive seen them blow that whistle when the goalies mask comes off and the team has the puck in a scoring chance before. just a fluky type goal. I think if there wasnt any holding/hooking/tackling going on av's would be blowing tampa away right now. they cant match the team speed. seemed like every time the aves got the puck there was one of those 3 events occuring.

the biggest thing im looking forward to watching in game 5. In colorado. Do the ave's come out swinging and get up big early. and if that happens.... does tampa just go full dirty mode? kucherov is the biggest sore loser out there. ive never seen a guy make as many dangerous hits as this guy when they are losing. always happens with tampa just want to see how far they go.

i dont know about that one. jordan ' the water boy' binnington could give him a run for his money.

tampa could teach a masterclass at getting away with interference. they've used it really effectively to limit the avs speed. tampa turning things dirty could be the nail in their coffin. it's exactly what the blues did with kadri and it took them out of the game.
