Wow, Boston/Islanders Game 2 was epic. I still think Boston wins the series,the Isles don't have enough games like that in them.

One of the jokes from around here growing up:
How do you know its spring? The Leafs are out.
Per the “Player Safety” themselves; to be considered a “repeat offender”, your last offense had to be within 18 months. A silly stipulation imo, but that’s what it is.
Imagine McSorley literally slashing Brashear, serves his year in jail. Comes back to the league and goes “saintly” for a season with no incident. By their rationale, his previous incidents would be wiped out with the 18 month rule.
Same standard was applied to Kadri, despite his 2018, and 2019 Suspensions.
18 months had passed and his proverbial slate was wiped clean.
"It is important to note that even if a Player is not defined as a repeat offender, his past history may come into consideration when determining future Supplemental Discipline."
LMAO at everyone getting their panties in a bunch over somebody taking another players head off in front of the net. Hockey has gotten SOFTER than Charmin. I still love watching it, but it's a very different game than 20 years ago.
And therein lies the ridiculousness of “player safety”. Everything is left up to “May”, “maybe” “perhaps”. Wilson boarding on Carlo warrants 6 games, yet a month later, Wilson sucker punch on Buchnevich and pounding Panarin ON THE ICE, warrants...... $5000 fine??
There’s never been any rhyme or reason.
Heck, Shea Weber grabbing Zetterberg’s head and slamming it against the glass didn’t even receive a FINE, let alone a suspension. And that was supposedly the season where NHL was going to crack down. That same playoff season, there was a six game suspension handed out in the St Louis and I believe Vancouver series for slough footing.
Lightning hang on to win Game 2. Habs and Jets tonight at 7:30 - should be a good series.
WPG starting to play solid hockey after taking the first period off.....
EDIT: And.....goal.
EDIT: And.....goal.
I can't stay awake for the Vegas game, I'd love to see that one. I forgot about this Reaves hit on a defenseless Tom Wilson.
Scheieffle with an incredible cheap shop on Evans after an empty net goal.
Hahaha Pierre Turgeon would agree!
Jesus, what a difference a decent netminder makes. Toss Flower between the pipes and the Avs score, on average, 297.5 less goals per period.
Looks like a rounding error. ??
It’s why ? is the Vezina winner this year. (I know he’s currently a finalist)
BTW, he’s 36.
