PLD had the easy part. Fucking Texier stole the puck from Tavares and led the rush. Fucking French beauty!

Easily our second best collapse in the last few years but still epic. Getting tired of these clowns top to bottom. From ownership to the staff and players. They like to pretend they are doing everything right but everything always goes wrong. They could easily still win this series but they likely won't and all of the above will talk about how close they were to doing it. It's now been 52-53 years depending on how you count it since they even made a final let alone won one.

It’s funny that this morning on Toronto radio the only rational one telling everyone to chill with the post-Mortem until they’re actually out is Brian fucking Burke.

He literally had to scold the 590 dweebs (literally have no idea who they even are at this point) for jumping the gun like crazy wanting to change the entire team.

Btw this is the time to drop Andy. Have the nuts Keefe.

And destroy what little trade value he has? Nah.

I am still disappointed but not really. Biggest problem with this team is between the ears, and that isnt changing in the next 12 hours.

To paraphrase the immortal Kenny Rogers, the're will be time enough for roster blow ups when the season's done

Meh. Benching him for one game isn’t going to affect his trade value, whatever it may be.

Elimination game Freddy terrifies me.

Based on his track record, you don't like his chances of pulling two rabbits out of his hat?

Even a goalie controversy on the CBJ side wont derail their train.

Not that there is a controversy, I would expect they go with Velvet Elvis today.

I hope their pajamas aren't that flammable. Jesus.

I really feel like the team is sold on Elvis going forward and were giving Korpi his due for sitting behind Bob without making waves and giving him the start. They probably hoped he had a great showing so his trade value would rise. And, IMO he did. The third one was a bit of a stinker, but he didn't get yanked because he wasn't playing well. He got yanked for the team to wake up, which worked.

This series has shown what the Jackets have (determination, defense and goaltending) and what they sorely miss (A gamebreaker, a power play).
