Anything that gets them out of that bouncyball arena is a good thing, but man, that’s messed up. It's been a mess. A greedy owner more interested in development than anything else, local politicians unable to strike a reasonable deal and at the heart of the problem a horrendous iron clad contract that the Islanders signed with the management company for the Nassau Coliseum around 30 years ago that tied the hands of the owner and politicians for years. In my perfect world, cooler heads would prevail and the NHL would relax the arena size restrictions and let the Isles continue to play at the Coliseum. I went to a Sunday afternoon game this year. It was a sell out and the atmosphere was electric.
Mark Vader Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Insanity in San Jose! Golden Knights score 3 goals in the first 5 minutes of the first period, then the Sharks score 3 goals in the last 3 minutes of the first period. 40 minutes to go.

Many of those times, the winner was just a game or two better than the second place team. Is that winning team so much better than the top seed in the opposite conference, who has played a very different schedule? The most interesting one is the year we won it. Anaheim has the same point total but it was given to Buffalo on a tie breaker. The Ducks wound up winning the cup. So even if the Presidents’ Trophy winner is considered to be the favorite, it’s what, a 20% chance for them compared to 18% for team #2 and 80% for the rest of the field? We’re talking about probably the most balanced league out there. I just now read the stories about how they’ve been bouncing between arenas. Anything that gets them out of that bouncyball arena is a good thing, but man, that’s messed up. Good point.
row_33 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Good to get the NBC feed for the Leafs tomorrow, won’t have to listen to Jim Hughson do his ham-o-saurus act as he craps all over the Leafs the whole broadcast 1

Wow, we got screwed over last night, Mark. Horrible call. Especially considering how much shite they let go during the playoffs. Fleury wasn't even in his crease. Reminds me of the "Phantom punch" in Ali vs Liston! 1 1

Tampa going down last night was the same, both of these series are the main ones I'm watching for round one. Small dagger maybe not inserted into the right spot.

Looks like those forwards that were flying around don’t like getting hit. Nice move by Bruce putting Backes back in. 1
K-9 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Watching these games is depressing. Not because the hockey is bad, it’s fantastic. It’s depressing because it illustrates how far away the Sabres are from being a team with the necessary jam to compete in the playoffs. We have so few players that can bring that kind of intensity. And I think it’s gonna be a long long time... 1

Mrs. Babcock won’t let him, just like last time. I seriously don’t think he’s gonna get fired, though. That would be foolish, imo.
