Really miss listening to Darren pang doing color

Lumbus OT goal is the goalie move when you can’t actually shoot #sadfactsaboutjtm

maf

get swept by las vegas and lose your division

Lol

heh

Wild gettin' pushed around at home, they're probably toast.

bruce boudreau is by all accounts a good coach, but jeez

love too score 28 goals in six games

Love to score

who own da leafs

Nervous...A Leafs win would certainly make up for that nightmare game four years ago.

whatever happens, it can't be as bad as that

probably

the stretch between the acc and rogers centre must be a shitfight tonight

Not that I know hockey or anything, but I don't think the Leafs can win a shootout where they trade goals--they need a two- or three-goal cushion.

don't we all

Kapanen shorthanded goal a thing of beauty

this is the kind of game that kills ppl

as someone who doesn't *really* care about the outcome, it's incredible

Was eating at whole foods and this means i usually watch a hockey game

This time they had on some hockey documentary and they started showing classic clips of and interviews with the great one

Literally had to stop watching because i got teary eyed, had a lump in my throat and thought i was going to start sobbing

lol at the kessel one -- love the guy but i'm not sure he's ever taken a slapshot in his life

The Kelly Hrudey with the USA pads is DEEPLY obscure

is the bandana visible

Inconclusive

whatever happens, it can't be as bad as that

solid attempt tho

well, leafs didn't have a next gear after a great 2nd period. gotta have like 2 more gears to keep up. i was really kinda rooting for them to move on, but i have the bruins moving forward on my bracket so i'm ok, personally ;) was a great series though. good hockey times.

Talked to my 8 year-old this morning (pictured below with Lord Stanley) and asked him how he was holding up after last night’s loss and he replied — in a really sad kid voice bordering on tears — “I want to boil Brad Marchand’s face in olive oil”. #LeafsNation #BudsAllDay pic.twitter.com/2b17hLOzVC

pretty much everyone does, little 'ghandi… pretty much everyone does

First response on that thred is p good

lou lamoriello will not return as leafs general manager

hurricanes have fired ron francis

pens got jobbed somewhat yesterday, i guess

puck over the glass: two minutes

breaking a guy's jaw: nothing

well player safety is talking to him today.

pleased to report that a little while ago i saw a guy tackle another guy into the corner of the bar after the second san jose goal

3 games out for tom wilson. seems fair to me. full disclosure: i'm a pens fan. but still.

seems a bit much to me but my understanding is there's a review process which leaves the door open for it to be reduced to 1 or 2

think the 3 was cuz of "repeat offender" status, otherwise probably would've been 1 or 2

http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/canadian-senator-takes-shots-at-odious-american-hockey-commentators

he makes some points tbh

the thing is, except for the difference in word usage, canadian hockey commentators are not good, so there's a tendency to prefer the american commentators

I don't enjoy american commentators but man that post article is ugh

never heard "slapper" to my knowledge and that is a gross one. i don't have a problem with wrister, though. don't know the country of origin, but "biscuit" makes me cringe. i don't know why.

i'm assuming this is an old guy? and i assume he's referencing the glow puck thing? that was for like 2 seasons 20 years ago, buddy!

Biscuit is player slang in my experience, dunno that I've ever heard a commentator say it.

And Olberman

i've played for 25 years and have /never/ heard a player call a puck a biscuit. maybe is a Canadian thing? I have however tried to popularize "chicklets"

lads

we put the biscuit in the basket

not sure what else to tell u

isn't biscuit specifically for off-ice plastic pucks?

also go Jets woo

Chiclets are teeth, as in knocked out teeth.

The Canadian dude who does Caps TV play-by-play says Biscuit In The Basket all the time.

Knights/Sharks has been pretty wild so far. Not a big hockey guy but I've been digging this series a lot. This is my favorite Sharks roster in a long time.

I can’t tell which is better Las Vegas winning or sharks losing to las vegas
