Of course, the Blues tie the game against the Wings in the final minute. Useless Detroit.

Edit: And then the Blues go on to win in OT. They might never lose again.

Well, that was insane

It's a shame that it appears that one of the Habs or Jackets will miss the playoffs, two exciting teams to watch.

 

[Comeds]

Lol, Well I'm not sure how exciting the Habs were tonight. Maybe the last three minutes. Not complaining, two straight wins against Florida are huge.

Speaking of jerks, holy shit

Misconducts were getting handed out like skittles. Probably a few guys that should be getting calls from DOPeS.


And this will surprise you, it was all started by Tom Wilson who came off worse trying a late hit and decided to go ballistic and crosscheck a guy in the back after a whistle and then fight noted tough guy Logan Stank Oven.

Open season, I guess

If the last name in the tweet above is McDavid instead of McMichael, it's a minimum 10 game suspension.

That is a steaming pile of crap. McMichael could have easily been paralyzed or worse. And he never wanted to fight in the first place.

Don't risk it. Just go ahead and forfeit. It happens.

It makes no sense, McMichael just missed being flung into the ice head first. Surely there needs to be supplementary discipline attached, but Canucks fans are also wondering why Jason Dickinson got off scot-free ramming Chytil's head into the glass. Chytil's career is in serious jeopardy, who kniws when/if he will play again.

Jackets have decided overworking Elvis is the way to go, and he cracked last night. Which, of course has made the goaltending experts on Reddit and Twitter to decide that we need to be in the goalie market. Looking at it, there's a lot of nothing available.

UFA:
Husso, Samsonov, Reimer (lol), Allen, Andersen, Georgiev, Vanacek. Nothing terribly exciting anywhere in that list. Andersen is good, but can't stay healthy.

RFA:
Levi is pretty much the only one worth a look, imo. I mean Dostal is RFA, but there is no way on earth that Anaheim fails to match. That kid's gonna be a star.

Who would be on the trade market? Demko probably. Potentially Gibson, but he's got a NTC and wants to go to a contender. Would Nashville really trade Saros?

Good Calgary kid, he would look great on his hometown team.

How the hell if there still two weeks left in the season
