NHL Regular Season 2016-17

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.

They scored as many goals as the Habs did last night.  :-P

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” !!!

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.

He’s simply known in Montreal as “The Mistake”.

:lol:

I get the sense that the Sharks are now angry enough to smack down the Oilers in the next couple games.

I’m confident the winner of Rangers-Habs will make the conference finals since they’ll enjoy a big goaltending edge against the Sens or Bruins.
