Bruins have spent MILLIONS in the TD-rink area on real estate & hub areas etc.
They could lose it all to a $60-stanchion!
C'mon - get the glass right the wild puck kicks off glass are terrible...

The Canes are up 24-11 in shots yet trail 3-1, Freddy has made 8/11 saves, this feels like a classic Carolina, they do a great job of limiting shots against but it’s not enough

Isles are also blocking a ton of shots and the Canes can't hit the net, shot attempts are extremely lopsided in favour of the Hurricanes.

Isles defensive strategy seems to be to just chip the puck to center, let the Canes have it, and keep everyone out of the middle.

The Leafs are doing the work tonight, but Ullmark is being ridiculous.

Are the NY Islanders going to be the first away team to win? They're currently up 2-0 at the end of the 1st.


Well Toronto just did

I’m honestly wondering if that should have been embellishing lol. Like Bert barely touched him and he went down like he was shot

100% it should have, but they're not gonna call him for that in the playoffs, let alone in TD Garden

Bruins going with the 2 goalie system after winning game 1 makes 0 sense

And tonight despite Ullmark being good one's got to ask would Swayman have done better


Sure you can use the Pitt example but Murray was sore and they went with Fleury for the other part

Ehh... ever been speared in the back of the knee when you weren't looking? C'mon, your boys brought it tonight. Why are you talking about a rat anyway?

1. That ended up being Toronto

2. The islanders blew a 3-0 lead

Isles should be embarrassed

Up 3 to 1 going into the third and yet are now down 3 to 5 with a min to go and have only registered 12 shots on net in 3 periods

I actually thought the app was broken

We've got a full on circus in PNC tonight after the Canes score the empty netter.

VGK vs. DAL is looking like WPG vs. AVS

Defense and goaltending be optional

Like I said earlier, the Isles stopped playing once it hit 3-0, they were just trying to chip the puck to center and park the bus in front of the net.

Hurricanes looked like they were on a powerplay for the entire 3rd period

It was still a bit of a dive lol, but you’re right, shouldn’t be focusing on the rat. Happy the boys played a good team game and got the W

Only getting 12 shots in a full game is an embarrassment, NYI should count themselves lucky they even got 3 goals

DiMarco on twitter:

“I know the Fedotov AAV is higher than expected, but the contract was agreed upon prior to the player coming over from Russia. I'm told that the contract had to be a certain number to get Fedotov to come to North America. Not ideal, but understandable given the circumstances.“

This is a huge gambit as I’m guessing a big pile of USD also went to the Russian hockey federation and the club that owned the rights.

But if the gambit fails, it’s nice that it only costs money. A ton of it. Every other option costs talent and money.

Wow, still? Bro, I have no idea how much acting he put into the aftermath, but when someone jabs the back your knee like that from behind, you are likely going down. I can vouch from experience. On both ends of it.
