This generation of players -led by Crosby- will certainly go down in Canadian lore. That second Cup and most recent international gold vaults him into rarefied hockey air.
NHL Regular Season 2016-17

Us Red Wing fans are officially experts at living in past glory now.
:roll:

It is too bad they couldn’t close the Joe with a playoff series, it was nice for the Islanders to have a moment in their old barn. Of course the Wings have played so many playoff series that what’s one year without one?

Yeah. I prefer the way things have gone out though. It’s nice to have that off the team’s shoulders in a sense. Fresh start in a new building. Time to start a new legacy.
And everyone knows that Sunday Apr 9 2017 will be the last game the Wings play at the Joe.

Not really a fan of the Red Wings, though my dad was because he got to take Gordie Howe fishing once. But I have to say the Red Wings were the model NHL franchise for 20+ years. I guess a hiccup was inevitable eventually.

They’ve had it good for a long time. The pain is refreshing for a change.

Go HABS!!!
I only say that because I am a diehard New York Islanders fan, and any team that plays the Rangers is my second favorite team.
Rough year for us. Rooting for the Caps to win it all (sorry YG).

@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 …
