Hahaha, Bruins-Habs is the actual rivalry, dude. Leafs-Habs have years and that's pretty much it.

Everyone in Montreal and Boston know where the real beef is.

I guess that's why they call them the Blues.

There, now I can quote that when we crash and burn in Round 1 again.

Low expectations and they still disappoint me.

Yeah, who knew lil john was a hockey fan

The amount of salt coming out of people right now over Vegas... all of a sudden everyone's an 'old school' hockey fan and they don't like what vegas is doing to the game. People need to get fucking smacked. Given ordinary idiots the power to make their opinions heard on social media was the worst idea of the last century

WELL ACHSUALLY

I feel like maybe the NHL went a little too far in allowing LV to pick some prime players. But who cares, it's a good story, good for the sport, and they are awesome to watch. And I'm a Canucks fan - I have no idea what good hockey looks like.

Assimilate · « **Reply #138 on:** June 07, 2018, 11:50:21 PM »

I wanted Vegas to win but i'm happy for Ovi and the Capitals definitely deserved it.

Caps beat the Lightning so I was sorta rooting for them, though I wouldn't have minded a Vegas win. Meh. It hurts watching games after your team's been eliminated.

skullstorm · « **Reply #141 on:** June 08, 2018, 11:12:45 AM »

I was rooting for the Caps all along but at the same time I was sure Vegas would win the whole thing because why the fuck not. Thank god it's over, one thing less to worry about lol. My favorite team won and Ovi finally got the Cup so

http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/mike-hoffmans-longtime-girlfriend-allegedly-behind-campaign-of-harassment-against-melinda-and-erik-karlsson

Quote

Melinda Karlsson has filed an order of protection against the longtime girlfriend of Senators forward Mike Hoffman — alleging a campaign of harassment that plagued the Karlssons after the death of their son and through much of the last NHL season, this newspaper has learned.

Quote

“Monika Caryk has uttered numerous statements wishing my unborn child dead,” says Melinda Karlsson’s sworn statement to the court.

Erik Karlsson, too, was allegedly targeted.

“She also uttered that she wished I was dead and that someone should ‘take out’ my husband’s legs to ‘end his career.’

“Monika Caryk has posted over 1,000 negative and derogatory statements about me as a professional.”

The Leafs have done it!--the franchise has signed Tavares to a seven-year deal!

I was cautiously optimistic as Tavares, who is from the same suburb as I am, is marrying an Ontario girl.

Over the past six years, toiling on relatively mediocre Islanders teams, he has produced 500 points in 508 games, ranking sixth in the league over that period. He’s coming off a season in which he finished with 84 points, the second-best total of his career.

(Image removed from quote.)

The 2013 loss is not relevant. The only players left from the 2013 loss are Kadri and Gardiner, and none of the management group is left--thank god.

The worst signings yesterday/today:
Leo Komarov with the Islanders for 4 years at $3M AAV. He's 31, going on 41. He had 19 points, plays terrible D, and has some of the worst analytics in all of hockey. Somehow, he averaged about as much ice-time as Marner and Nylander. Dubas' second best move yesterday was not re-signing Komarov, so that Babcock doesn't get a chance to overplay him. Note: A coach if overplaying him if he isn't a healthy scratch.

James Neal for 5 years, $5.75M AAV with Calgary. He turns 31 before the season and is coming off of back-to-back 40-point seasons. Wingers like this never age well. Thought teams might have learned after the Lucic, Eriksson, and Ladd contracts.

Dishonorable mentions: Bozak and Roussel. The JVR and Stastny won't end well.
