NHL Regular Season 2016-17
-
Can we bring up the disgusting worm, Marchand, and his flurry of cheap shots? All the dangerous, underhanded slew-footing. Suspend him for the whole damn season.
-
YG needs to convince Subban to don the Canadiens jersey and obliterate Marchand again like in 2010.

I think it would hurt more if Weber crushes him.

I’ve always hated Marchand more than any other player since I’ve been watching the game (45 years). It was painful having to cheer for him in the last World Cup. Honestly, I don’t know why his own teammates don’t take him out back and learn him a lesson.

I’m still trying to get used to having Andrew Shaw on my team who can be just as dirty… but less talented.

Marchand is a dirty SOB who routinely gets slaps on the wrist from the laughable player discipline department. There’s always room for physical play in hockey but there’s always a time and place for suspending repeat offenders and egregious offenses.
From a personal standpoint as a Rangers fan it stinks knowing my team will never have a physical edge outside of flashes from guys like Brandon Prust. Alain Vigneault’s teams tend to turn the other cheek when it comes to getting bullied, and there’s no better example than the Bruins-Canucks Cup final that Marchand helped turn around with a huge hit.
Meanwhile you have Stone Age clubs like the Bruins and Flyers which will NEVER change their style of play, especially the latter one.

It was Maxim Lappiere who taunted the Bruins with that whole biting of the finger crap when Vancouver was ahead in the series… that was the turning point when the bear was poked.

Canucks for the cup this year - 100%
-

Unless THIS is the year Washington or Montreal finally gets its act together I have a hard time imagining anyone besides Pittsburgh getting out of the East. Teams like Columbus and the Rangers will have puncher’s chances but little more.
I’d say the West has a bigger window of opportunity, but I don’t buy Minnesota. What the heck, the Blackhawks will be back in the Finals again.

Yeah, what the heck. Wait, it’s the other year in the every other year cycle the Hawks have been on lately, so I guess we’re due!

Add a zero to that.
So that would be 0 - 100%. Blackhawks are gonna have an easy road trip to the CUP ? :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Since my last post the Habs fired their coach and the Caps went all in for Shattenkirk, so it’s their conference to lose. Ovechkin already has many playoff albatrosses circling his head, you figure he has to get a shot at the Cup at least once in his career. I think there are very few Hall of Famers who didn’t make at least one cameo in the Finals.
That said I’m perfectly happy having the Rangers finish as a Wild Card in this dopey playoff system that should be gutted. Would much rather play the flawed Atlantic clubs than the loaded Metropolitan ones.

After Washington’s disappointing playoff exit before their dominate regular season, I unfortunately doubt they will mess it up again… they go to the finals is my prediction, but I’m praying for a Montreal upset to win it all.

Since no one else will mention it I will:
Edmonton Oilers have won eight of their last nine, and are riding some serious momentum with less than a week to go before playoffs begin, and are in a serious dogfight for first place in the Pacific Division.
Who called that one at the start of the season?

Connor McDavid did. As he wills, so it is.

Make it so, Connor. :-)

I heard that Connor McDavid beat the crap out of Chuck Norris over money at a cock fighting club in Mexico.
