Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

That the Caps should not be visiting the WH at all. "Shame on them" was how several of them phrased it. Whatever - IMO they should visit the WH regardless of who is president (but OK for players to boycott - just don't understand people giving a hard time to players who visit).

Agree.

I'm no fan of Trump but for me it'd be a honor to meet the president. Sometimes you got to bite the bullet and attend these things.

Kinda like Parent-Teacher conferences

Agreed - Everybody has the right to either attend or decline and nobody should get any grief regarding the decision they made.

I'd go to meet Melania, but not the real Melania, she's cruel

Does she need to wear a fur coat?

I'm sure she has more than one

But not a real green dress, cause that's cruel

Nashville has clinched a playoff spot.

Good for the Predators, wonder if this is finally their year to win the team's first cup.

Good for the Predators, wonder if this is finally their year to win the team's first cup.

Very unlikely. Never a good sign when a team is struggling going into the playoffs, and the Preds have not been close to "firing on all cylinders" at any point this year.

Having said that, all the West teams have had their ups and downs, with Calgary probably the most consistent. But that pesky goaltending question is the unknown for the Flames. Will Nashville emerge from the West? Better than a puncher's chance but not a strong favorite.

/another "bold" prediction and we know what those are worth. Right Braden?

Well, who aside from Brad Treliving saw this coming?!?

Carolina vs Washington and NYI vs Columbus.

What a night in the metro. Very torn on who I want to win/lose.

Washington and Columbus

Good picks! Seriously the two best case scenarios for the Penguins.

 

[Comeds]

Habs are hanging in there, do not like their remaining schedule though....

And the Jackets (out of those games... Montreal losing would have been cake).

Yuuuge Thursday night...

That game has a double shutout written all over it.

Didn’t know where to pu this, so I’ll put it here. Way to go boys.

I don't think there is a rating emoji that is right for this. I just saw the other day that the semi truck driver got 8 years for it.

I am at the inlaws, so watching this one might be a challenge. Biggest game of the year for both teams.

Can't wait to see who shows up.
