Well for what it’s worth, Battle of Midway won some sharp handicappers who boxed him in with the favorite a lot of money. After this gamely performance he has to race near the anniversary in June.
NHL Regular Season 2016-17

@Colt45:
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.
Ah! It happened! http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-suspends-brad-marchand-explains-sidney-crosby-wasnt-175622930.html
Well done Colt.

While the classic enforcer has gone extinct I feel there’s still room for the irritant/cheap shot artist forward, with Claude Lemieux being the patron saint. He’s the guy who can repay a big check on a star player in kind or get under the skin of the opposing team to draw a penalty. Of course he also brought some skills to the table, justifying his presence.
Yes, speaking of… http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-all-dirty-skill-team-who-blended-criminality-and-talent-best.
The NHL is tame today compared to what it used to be. I think people have similar misconceptions about the US Congress.

2 games… 1 game for each pill he tried to decapitate.

@Young:

:lol:
It would suck for them if somehow because of Marchand’s absence Boston falls 2 spots and has to play Washington. Hoo boy.
But I doubt it. The Bruins are rolling right now.

Well the NY Rangers and Carey Price showed up for playoff hockey tonight… I don’t know what everyone else was doing. Pathetic effort all around by the Habs, they should be ashamed of themselves. Hard to imagine the Rangers doing it 3 more times, but they did just steal home ice.
AAARRRRRGGGGGGG!
-
Yeah, that was surprising.
-
Oilers blow a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 in overtime…. heartbreaking.
On the bright side for Oilers fans, Joe Thornton should be returning soon, and given his career track-record for playoff success it can only be good news for the Oilers (I’m kidding… sort of) :lol:

Ouch.

I’m rooting for Todd McLellan to beat his old employer as well as his successor, Pete DeBoer. Yes, I’m still bitter about Tortorella’s greatest Rangers squad losing to the Devils (and DeBoer) in 2013. To Torts’ credit his legacy lives strong in this Rangers team that whipped back into tough playoff form based on muscle memory.

I’m ashamed to admit that I’m cheering for San Jose this spring. If they win the cup then my team, the Canucks, get a first round pick this year instead of a fourth round pick from the Yannick Hansen deal. Go Yannick Go!!
He’s a beauty. Best. Danish. Player. Ever.
-
WOW! I didn’t realize the Nuks had so much on the line this spring.
-
They scored as many goals as the Habs did last night. :-P

Well… there’s scoring goals and then there’s achieving goals, you must be talking about scoring goals in which case you’re right… The Habs and Nuks were both shutout last night.
-
Go Habs, beat the Rags!! Exciting Game 2 …
-
Meh, the series was going 6-7 games anyway.
Just waiting for the new Icelanders team president to give Garth Snow a ten-year extension. :-D
-
So, is Zach Kassian the Oilers’ version of Claude Lemieux?
It’s sure looking that way after just three games. :evil:
-
:x axis roll not looking good ! “Kaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnneeeeeeeee come back” !!!
-
Habs are looking better now, Rangers in tough but only down 1 game… was it destiny that the Habs score with 17 sec left in game two and avoid going to NY down 2 games? we shall see.
-
Too early to call it destiny for a long playoff run but it’s clearly the turning point of the series. I’d give the Rangers a decent chance to win Game 5 in Montreal but that’s it.
The entire town and media have turned on the Rangers, but they’ve been here before, specifically three years ago when they were down 3-1 to the Pens.
-
Way too early to tell what’s going to happen. Kassian had flashes of play like that his whole time in Vancouver but he could never keep it going like that consistently. That’s why the Canucks gave up on him. Unless he’s truly turned over a new leaf he won’t keep that up for 2 months. He sure was impressive the last 2 games though. The whole playoff picture will be much clearer in 3 weeks.
