Well. Now that all 8 series are completed I am officially 3 for 8 in first round predictions. Yikes. The silver lining is, though, that both of my finalists are still in, so I could end up getting both those right.

He was a drug dealer and was involved in heinous violent crime. You’re actually comparing that with offshore banking? Are you serious? Go take a walk in downtown LA and see what drug dealers like Snoop have done to that city. Look at the human suffering he and others like him have caused. He’s been excused b/c of his wealth and talent. He’s not to be rewarded in a transparent effort to make the sport more appealing to weed smokers.


a lot could be said about this take but i'd rather not breach the no politics rule.

well, Trouba led with the shoulder, elbow tucked in, didn't jump into the hit.
Meier still technically in possession from what I could see and only took the shoulder to his face cus he was leaning way down.
Why wouldn't it be a clean hit?


It was a shoulder right to the head. Isn't that an illegal hit? And even if it is allowed, it shouldn't be.

There was plenty of body available to him. He jumped off bench, lined him up and went straight for head. He could have played the body.




Change the rulebook then idk

Contact to the head was avoidable. Do you really believe that was a accident?

Last one. Ice level angle.

Meier’s head was up.
Trouba rose to meet the head.
Head was avoidable.
Illegal hit.

You breach that rule all the time, so why not just say why Snoop's life of crime and degradation of women makes him a good candidate to own an NHL franchise? I've managed to make my argument w/o making any political references whatsoever.

The problem I have is consistency. I'm fine with the refs letting that Trouba hit go, as long as other ref's do the same. We've seen 5 and a game handed out for less, that's for sure.

For the second round I'll be rooting for Dallas, Vegas, Florida and Carolina.

Just watch them all lose.

Funny I’m rooting for basically the exact opposite lol. Except Carolina I guess (I don’t really care about that series or the Dallas series).

Rangers game 7 looked like the Leafs in every game 7 till 2022 (they were fine in that one)

A shell of what we all know they are. The passion died I guess. Who needs second round

Thats not a good culture and poor Kane
