wierd that we're two weeks out and only COLO has been eliminated

idk -- the west is set and so is six or seven of the east

dallas really shit the bed this year huh

lolkings

youre alright crosby

if he didn't score on that, I would be seriously pissed if I were his wingman

no one, even phil kessel, is going to complain about playing on crosby's wing

this is getting really pathetic

USA Hockey contacts D3, rec-league players

God Mook your goalie is trash

nice guy tho

We might have one lying around to spare

Maybe in juniors

patrik elias has officially retired, presumably so he can concentrate on his sports bureau

2 canadian teams confirmed in the playoffs already :D

always enjoy watching the habs play

can never cheer for edmonton but they seem to be the favourites

if the sens can clinch it thatd be sweet

destroy toronto

edmonton's my team because my wife is from there

(not that she gives a shit about the oilers, but hockey is one of the few sports she'll watch)

o u two must have a blast cheering for edm in van

it's p good, there's no great animus against the oilers, like there's not a huge established rivalry between the teams, even just flames would be more controversial in van i feel.

have had jibes about how shitty the oilers are when i wear my oilers hat but they've been reasonably good-natured. now I'm walking around with it on doing a stride of pride

what u really need is an oilers nail yakupov sweater

Flames probably number one rivalry historically

Second wld be edm due to proximity

Others have come and gone (hawks, bruins, etc)

Still, you won't get more than light ribbing tbh

@Sportsnet
BREAKING NEWS: #NHL will not participate in 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

that's so dumb

fly out van/la to china but not pyeongchang

real good strategy for 'expanding' nhl viewership dipshits

tbf the 12-hour time difference would not do much to expand north american viewership

guarantee ovi is pissed right now tho

totally

but they also want to expand into the chinese market

none of it makes sense to me tho

2 ?'s on Olympics: How do teams handle if, say, USA Hockey comes calling for the Luke Kunins & Alex Tuchs?

What happens if NHLers go AWOL?

hasn't ovechkin said that he would go to the olympics regardless of whether the nhl participates or not?

this is about money right? like the nhl can't monetize their players playing in another tournament, therefore they're not interested

yeah, as much as I like watching olympic hockey, I doubt it makes a whole lot of financial sense for the NHL to go.
