NYI is finally starting Sorokin who should be their #1 but had a terrible season

The Tampa Florida series would probably be a lot different if Tampa played first periods like they play 2nd or 3rd periods.

I think he's waiting for after the playoffs to see if there are any other opportunities

OK gotcha. Wasn't sure if there were rumors about another team or a seat that he was waiting for. I know Keefe's seat is getting warmer and warmer but wasn't sure of anywhere else that he was linked to.

Well if Carolina gets cheap with Brid'Amour's extension and he leaves might end up there

Maybe Sullivan parts ways with Pitt who knows lets see

I think this coaching markets gonna be very interesting this summer

It took Vancouver almost 13 1/2 minutes of the 1st to record their first shot on goal.

Naturally, they scored on it.

Well, he was totally screened on this one. But yeah, some goalies have issues if they don't keep at keast a bit busy. Curtis Joseph, for one, much preferred lots of shots.

Rempe should be suspended for the rest of the playoffs. Two minutes for that is some ****ing bull****. Refs are such cowards.

It's wild that VAN-NASH is through two periods and they've just barely hit 25 combined shots on goal.

Its kind of funny how game 2 and 3 were mirrors of eachother for both teams

NSH got outplayed game 2 won

NSH outplayed Van game 3 lost

I find it interesting that 3 of the 4 series in the East are currently 3-0 series while in the West, there are currently no 3-0 series (though if Vegas wins tonight, there will be one)

I don't think anybody thought the Capitals or Islanders would put up a fight, Surprised to see Tampa down 3-0 though.

I thought Isles would at least stay in it a bit and put up a descent fight winning at least 1 or 2 but nope they choked game 2

Yup, the 2 Metro series were the two series I was most confident in getting right. But I actually picked Tampa to upset Florida and that pick is not looking good lol (though my pick of Vegas upsetting Dallas is looking very good)

Sergachev is going to play 79 days after major Ankle surgery. His team is down 3-0 and it's almost impossible to pull off a comeback, I can't believe he's putting his career on the line just to play. Mind Boggling.

Yeah, I have to doubt he’s remotely close to 100% and it’s likely decently dangerous for him to play
