Speaking of commentators, Doc Emrick has always been one of my favourites
Canes had over 90 shots attempted Tuesday with mid 30 something on goal. Plus hit 3 posts. Caps had something like 14 total SoG.
ha, good game, was expecting to be 0-2 coming back to Dallas especially as they went 4-0 at home vs. you. feeling good about Dallas.
Is Toronto any good? That was Dan Patrick's pick this AM. I have not kept up at all, all I know is whoever has the hot goaltender is who will win it all.
Toronto is good and all teams at this stage are certainly good! Surprised he picked Toronto after the goalie got injured. I believe Toronto is making a charge and have some faith in a good run. Not saying "This is our year" yet but we are pushing. Just from what I'm seeing I would predict the winner coming from the Western Conference facing either Toronto or Florida.
Vegas played so poorly again. Terrible defense and goal tending at the worst time. They have played great for streaks and terrible for streaks. I think they are finishing in their terrible period. They should have won this game. They needed to win this game. But they didn't. I expect game 3 to be a blow out.
McDavid caught Eichel so flat footed it was like skating around a stationary pylon on the highlight reel!
Completely undressed Eichel. To be fair, Jacks not a D guy but still it was incredible to see. I was actually surprised he didn’t sell out and try to stop the play at that point or at least hook him knowing he’d get the gate just to stop the likely score. The insane part is looking at the replay McDavid catches the pass on his own blue line 4:44 and it was literally three seconds later the pass to Draisaitl at 4:41 for a one timer into the net. It’s hard to comprehend how fast that guy really is even in a sea of professionals.
I know McDavid is good, but I thought 'the next Gretzky' was that guy Chicago drafted #1 a couple years ago... Bedard? Is he any good or is he just stuck on a crappy team? My only claim to fame is I know Jake Guentzel's mom.... he is from Omaha. It's too bad all the weekly games are only on cable, I'd watch more, but it's not worth $150 a month for Cable.
Not sure how accurate, but I buy hockey cards and the Upper Deck Young Guns (rookies) base cards are a good judge of players and prospects the last decade. Here are the current values of the base rookie cards. 2015 Connor McDavid $687 2016 Auston Matthews $369 2019 Cale Makar $289 2014 Leon Draisaitl $285 2014 David Pastrnak $262 2013 Nathan MacKinnon $242 2023 Connor Bedard $157 The current year hot rookies in hockey cards are Macklin Celebrini, Matvei Michkov, and Lane Hutson.
What a crazy VGK / Oiler game. 2 own goals to end the game. 2/3rds of the Golden Misfits strike again.
Super sunny day outside here, but I must say today's IMSA-WeatherTech series race at Laguna Seca followed by Winn at Dallas - in third period right now - whatta afternoon. Ooooooppps, Dallas just scored.
That 3rd Dallas goal, the go ahead in the 3rd period should not have been allowed — Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yah I think in their haste they got that one wrong. And its pretty obvious why they have "excluding" the goaltender's stick because you don't want to encourage this. Everyone would start kicking pucks in the crease. I saw a good goal recently where a kicked puck deflected off of a player's stick into the net and it was good. But it was not the goaltender's stick. Until then I never knew this rule even existed. But it was ruled a good goal even though it was clearly kicked.
Oh no, I can't believe I haven't found this thread until now. All I can say here is: as a massive Tampa fan living in south Florida, as kindly as possible, I wish nothing but the worst for the Panthers.
dusty TBL really came on hard the second half of the season and is a good, solid team. They'll be continual contenders (my way of saying "there's always next season"). At least they MADE the playoffs - my team, the Red Wings, seem to be more aptly named "the Dead Things" for the past 8-9 seasons. Two more great games tonight!
