Yeah, Detroit should've had 20 penalties by now, Slew Footing, interference, holding.... This game isn't over because the Refs have been bias against Montreal.


Heh. I have been switching between games, so I'm not going to pretend I know for a fact this is a biased retelling. Of course, I'm also not going to take it as gospel. I'm commenting on this particular goal, do you have any thoughts on what I said about that? It might help me gauge how much weight to put into said retelling.

Frenchy is a bad bad bad man. Letting him go was the real start of the Blues downfall. He's one of the best drag 'em into the fight guys around.

Looks like the Pens will not be making the playoffs. This late season surge is probably the worst possible thing that could've happened to them seeing as though they will be without a lottery pick in a pretty quality draft class. I wonder if Dubas will be as aggressive this offseason as he was last offseason

Though Caps are up 2-1 due to a tie game empty net goal (Philly needed a reg win to have a chance which is gone now that Detroit has a point)

Pens aren’t out yet, they have tiebreaker over Detroit and Washington, if Detroit and Washington lose in OT, Pittsburgh could still make it

Wow. Detroit appropriately gets a tripping pen... except Montreal was offside. Refs suck. Always.

Now that all the playoff spots have been clinched, I think it's safe to call this regular season the best in a long time. So many drama all the way to the end. The current way of doing things rarely creates entertaining hockey down the stretch, but man it was entertaining the whole way through this year

Caps are 27th in league in goal differential (29th at even strength). And going to the playoffs.

I am sad to admit that my standings predictions would have been greatly improved by just predicting a repeat of last year's standings

Leafs-Bruins is happening!!!
Am I crazy for being excited for it? We haven’t played Boston in 5 years and I kind of want to see if we can finally slay the dragon in a rematch. Obviously it won’t be easy but I think it’s doable. GLG!!!

Leafs v Bruins
Panthers v Lightning

These are two series that have "classic" written all over them. I can already feel the heartbreak

If only Carolina had overtaken the Rangers or Washington had overtaken the Islanders, we would have had
Canes vs Caps
Rangers vs Islanders

and the whole Eastern Conference first round would have been major rivalry series. I guess Rangers-Caps was a thing in the mid 2010s and Canes-Isles played a heated series last year but it's not the same.
