Haha worst ever would be a stretch for sure. Worst active player? When it comes to the game as a whole and not just hits? Yes.
Equally dangerous? Not even close.... just ask Hossa, Savard, Tyutvin if taking a blindside hit to the head is “equal” to what Marchand does....
You’re right. But not stretched far enough. Worst human to have ever lived. I detest him.
Yeah this round 1 series is a nightmare to watch as a pens fan. Every time someone scores I’m like HAHA F**K YOU!!! WAIT, NO. SHIT. EVERYONE TO HATE = NO ONE TO HATE ???
He does that all the time. Also, have you ever been slew footed or clipped? Especially against the boards as is Marchand’s MO? I have.
There is a very good reason those things are illegal as hell. I promise you the ice hits the back of your head way harder than any shoulder ever will.
@mikethompson I highly appreciate you starting this thread! I had no idea there was even a shred of passion for hockey to be found on here. Much more so than I could've imagined. Props to you sir!
Totally agree with you on the first part of your post. That collision was painful to watch, and I saw it live. I don't think it was intentional at all, but just awful to see. You don't ever want to see a stretcher on the ice.
The second part of your post gives me pause, but I remember your anti-Montreal feelings from an earlier post.
Even casual fans can rally around the playoffs!
Game 2 tonight!
If there is a Golden Knights / Oilers final I will have to return that Meer right?
Well, I’m not saying it hasn’t run through my mind. ??
2nd period is often a real kick to watch 'cause of the long changes, sometimes you get some cool breakaways and odd-man rushes.
Decent game. Caps have joined the Preds and Blues in fighting for their playoff lives.
Wow, lots of OT action tonight. Avs look real tough to beat right now. Lost Kadri for eight games, but didn't seem like they lost so much as a step. Poor Oilers...one goal in 1st two games combined, and two on tap in Winnipeg. But alas, it can all turn around in a hurry. A goalie gets hot, maintains it...anything can happen, as we all know!
You’re rundown for the games....
Bruins 4 - Caps 1 (series 3-1 B’s)
Preds 5 - canes 4 2OT (series 2-1 Canes)
Jets 1 - Oilers 0 in OT(McDavid and Draisatle 0 pts in first two games!!!) (series Winnipeg 2-Oilers 0)
Avs 5 - Blues 1 (series Avs 3-Blues 0)
Biggest takeaways, Caps looking tired and old; Two phenomenal Overtime games; McDavid and Draisaitle not registering a single point in two games is REALLY strange to see; Avs are just rolling over StLouis and Kadri suspended 8 games.

Thank GOD this season doesn't really count. Can the Caps just go-ahead and forfeit Sunday's game, and put me out of my misery? A friend is a diehard Canes fan, guess I'll have to root for her.
We're on St. Croix, and the one place where you can see a hockey game is a Boston bar....I took a beat down.

Caps humiliated in 4-1 loss to Bruins
The Washington Capitals were pathetic in Game Four, hardly putting up a fight as the Boston Bruins steamrolled their way to a…

An eight playoff game suspension is a good punishment for Kadri. I'd rather have a 'win', tho.
It looks like him being out will be more off a boon for Vegas than my Blues.

It wasn't supposed to be like this!
Hoping I see the same energy tomorrow and a few lucky bounces.
Lightning 6- Panthers 2..... this series is all but finished. TB laid the smack down today, and Bobrovsky’s confidence is completely shattered. I’d be surprised if he makes top 1/2 of goalies next season. His body language spoke volumes today.
Isles 4- Pens 1..... hard fought game, and Pens looked solid through 1st period, not allowing Isles any room into their zone, then things just fell apart in the 2nd. This is a solid series to watch.
