I just saw that and I don't like it one bit. Toss the coach for not being able to be successful with bad management decisions.

 

[Sparhawk]

Yep, that's the case. I was just so disappointed in them this year.

(GMGM steps to podium)

"The Vegas Golden Knights are proud to announce the hiring of their new head coach, Lindy Ruff..."

 

[HCGLNS]

WSH, MTL, PIT, OTT

CHI, ANA, MIN, EDM

 

[HCGLNS]

Ouch.

 

[jwhouk]

Washington in four.
Montreal in seven.
Columbus in six.
Ottawa in seven.

Minnesota in six.
Anaheim in six.
Edmonton in seven.
Chicago (sigh) in five.

[jwhouk]

That's one.

 

[Timmus]

Might be too early to say but how hilarious would a MTL NSH final be?

 

[HCGLNS]

Huge bigly win! Great effort by both sides, and seriously though Fuck the Refs.

 

[DarkAudit]

Assault now rates just a one game suspension. Grrr.

 

[HCGLNS]

Guys you can all jump on the Leafs bandwagon now! With the win last night, the Leafs have just cancelled the scheduled Chris Brown concert in Washington next week.

A great day for every one!

I thought they didn't suspend crosby at all.

 

[jwhouk]

Don't look now, but Pekka Rinne has more post-season points than the entire Chicago Blackhawks team.

2016 1st round had 7 OT games total.

2017: 9 and counting!

C'mon Nashville jump on the OT train!

 

[DarkAudit]

You okay there, @jwhouk?

Bruins lose, Caps lose, Hawks lose. A Great Day for Hockey indeed.

 

[Timmus]

So many potential sweeps this year.

 

[DarkAudit]

The Columbus Dispatch canceled their plans to distribute a Crying Crosby mask for Sunday's game. Penguin fans did not forget...

 

[jwhouk]

Seven goals in San Jose.

 

[DarkAudit]

Washington in four.
Montreal in seven.
Columbus in six.
Ottawa in seven.

Minnesota in six.
Anaheim in six.
Edmonton in seven.
Chicago (sigh) in five.

Nope.

 

[HCGLNS]

So nobody gonna talk about Buffalo?

 

[Jay]

You're welcome Nashville.

 

[Timmus]

Nope.

Something tells me he won't mind being wrong.

 

[BErt]

Suck a hundred dicks, Chicago

 

[blotsfan]

Glad Bylsma's gone. Surprised Murray is gone.

 

[DarkAudit]

KER-BLAMMO...

 

[jwhouk]

You're welcome Nashville.

You will notice he was laughing about it on the bench.

 

[HCGLNS]

OH SHIT!

Guys tune into the Leafs Caps game tonight! Like right now! Kadri just knocked Ovi out of the game with a greasy looking hit.

This could get ugly.

Yes, yes I did. The reddit thread I found it on was all about how everyone knew it was a good, clean hit and just kept on playing.

 

[jwhouk]

Justin Williams, ladies and gentleman. Doing his part to make sure the apocalypse doesn't happen.

 

[jwhouk]

Prozac, baby.

 

[blotsfan]

All is right with the world.

 

[HCGLNS]
