2021 NHL Season

[St Kilda Senators]

Well since the Senators didn't make it, but nonetheless had a good season considering their circumstances, it's almost time to start watching some playoff hockey.

In each division I am hoping for:

Vegas
Florida
Islanders
Not Toronto or Montreal

Couple of Canucks media people saying Benning isn't a slam dunk to return next season

It's the hope that gets ya, I'm telling you

Pittsburgh
Edmonton

Avs take the 1st seed in the West, and President's Trophy.
Vegas have to deal with a Minnesota that has a Kiprisov. Hopefully they can dunk on the Knights and make it easier for us

St Louis 8-1-3 in their last 12 games...

The East looks like a genuine raffle to pick a winner

Taking an idea from Down Goes Brown and expanding on it.

Imagine the scenes at NHL House, Chronno and Edmonton if the Canucks and the Flames manipulated their remaining regular season games to allow Nate Schmidt to win the Rocket Richard Trophy and Nikita Nesterov to win the Art Ross Trophy.

It really is a once in a lifetime opportunity...

As the old AFL adverts declared, “I’d like to see that.”

Can we please go 1 game without an injury. Anderson in goals doesn’t bode well I feel

Kelly Hrudey laid into Vaněček during the intermission.
Unprofessional to get a soft tissue injury in that scenario. Should be stretching 8-10 times during the day of a game to prevent that injury.

Yep, don’t disagree. A double whammy to be caught napping and give up the goal too.

Not sure Ovi got a piece of it but he will claim it

Nic Dowd, once again proving his Canucks legend credentials

 

[Great8]

Dowd got a piece of that for the OT winner
Nice start

Dowd has been more than serviceable for us since coming over. Never going to be a star but a good, honest toiler who can play his part

Craig Anderson now has 4 wins and 1 loss in playoff overtime games vs Boston. Looked shaky (understandable) but got the job done. Turns 40yo next Friday.

Wonder if Marchand is injured. He was very ordinary tonight.

Understandably shaky as despite all the practice and sims he hasn’t had a lot of TOI in games.
Not sure of Sammy’s situation and how bad Vitek’s injury is but not inconceivable that Anderson gets the bulk of the series

As always, some Bruins fans are blaming Rask.

Two deflections and Wilson’s odd man rush, point blank, top corner shot.

Yeah, Rask was good today. Only a few minutes earlier in OT he made a couple of good saves and was solid all night.

 

[Great8]

Palmieri with the OT winner, nice

 

[Great8]

All 3 playoffs gone to OT so far.
Wild just scored the only goal of the game in Vegas

 

[Drunkgoliath]

Vegas dropping the first could be huge. MIN might feel they have a chance
