    Buddy posted this as a possible leak:
  2. I will be surprised if anybody other than Florida wins the East. I thought Vegas would win the West before the playoffs started. We shall see.
  3. That covers everybody in the West. Stars and Jets both went 7 and Vegas and the Oilers went 6. Three Eastern teams only needed five to get out of the first round.
  4. Pretty good set of eight teams there.
  5. Safe bet. I would expect a Wednesday start.
  6. Dear Dallas Stars, High glove side. Kindest regards, St Louis Blues
  7. Was watching with my son and as that cycle went on, I said to him “this could be it.” Three seconds later, the puck was in the back of the net.
  8. Is the Scheiffele injury expected to be awhile? Also, how bad did Morrissey’s look?
  9. Crazy it could happen back to back nights after only happening three times previously in the history of the league.
  10. I think you’re forgetting Mo’s skating ability. Dude could fly with the puck. Rantanen might be a better pure scorer but then again, so was Hully.
  11. Robertson isn’t one of the Stars’ two best players. Rantanen is better, so are Wyatt and Roope. Oettinger is and Harley might be as well. Miro is. But Robo is a really nice piece that you’d like to have in the lineup. I gave you one last night — Modano. Best player in franchise history. Remember he played a lot of his career in the neutral-zone trap years. Hull over his career certainly was at that level but he wasn’t the same caliber player when he got to Dallas but part of that could’ve been the lower scoring league then. If we bring goalies into the mix, Belfour is in the conversation. Newy was fantastic for the Stars. This franchise also had HOF’ers like Cicarrelli in the “older” days.
  12. Maybe he’s the best when it’s all said and done but I’m not overlooking players like Modano because of a dominant 3-game run by Rantanen. Also, I don’t think he’s near the two-way player somebody like Mo was once Hitchcock unlocked that part of his game. Rantanen isn’t a total zero on defense but that’s never been his thing. But, yes, I’m not sure we’ve ever had a player that could just put the rest of the team on his back like Mikko in the third last night and said, “let’s fucking go.” And then do it. Dutch said the following in Pierre LeBrun’s article in The Athletic: “He just said, `F–k this’ on that first goal. And after that, you could feel something was coming. You could just feel it. He stepped up last few games big time. It was great.’’ I’ll post the whole article from my computer when I get on in a bit. It’s a bit clumsy on the phone.
  13. Is it the same Avs PBP guy that won BaD Radio’s Homer Call of the Year and would come on with Bob and Dan? If so, he’s a good dude. Homer, no doubt. But a good guy.
  14. Who is everybody pulling for tomorrow? The Jets have killed us but Hellebuyck is a mess. St Louis was red hot to just get in playoffs and Binnington has beaten us before. We’d have home ice vs St Louis. I don’t think there’s a wrong answer here.
  15. Didn’t Montgomery jump straight from DU to the Stars?
  16. The Jets have clobbered us this year but there’s the whole Hellebuyck situation. And Vegas is good and would have home ice vs the Stars.
  17. Great series between two absolute heavyweights. Sucks there had to be a loser. Wish the NHL would scrap divisions and just slot 1-8 like the “old” days.
  18. DeBoer is now 9-0 in Game 7’s — that is insane!
  19. And that’s just Round 1. My dog thinks we won the Cup tonight based on my celebration of Rantanen’s empty-netter.
  20. A little luck of course. His first goal was the type of goal that you want from a $12M/yr player. Straight up alpha shit there.
  21. Incredible. Can’t wait to read that Keeler fuck’s column in tomorrow’s Denver Post.
  22. Rantanen just buttfucked the Avs out of the playoffs!!!!!
