Of course Shattenkirk scores. Literally would have been okay if we benched him after the game/series he'd been having. Only the Caps. Gotta go out and find a way to get a win Wednesday too, though. 3-1 would still be almost impossible to overcome.

I'm as optimistic as they come...but man. This shit is brutal. Holy fuck just score the next goal in OT and get out of there with the win.

All other things aside...both goalies have been really good tonight. Fleury got unlucky with the bounce on the 1st goal, and no real chance on that 2nd.

I don't disagree that it's a reaction type play...but I mean he ends up cross checking him in the head. With the injury factored it, I can understand why they gave him a major and major on cross checking is automatic game misconduct I'm 99% sure. Sid hasn't come back yet either. I know we...

I don't think Niskanen did it maliciously, but given the result, 5 and a game is probably the right call. I think game penalty is mandatory with major for cross checking, anyways. As much as it benefits us with Sid out, I hope he's able to come back, no one should have to suffer that. Little...

The trade with the Bears still seems like something out of the movie Draft Day. Absolutely skinned them.

"like sports teams, their scores...and pussy!"

Love Ian McShane. Good first episode, hope it doesn't always run 5 extra minutes into Silicon Valley, though.

Hoping this is money, haven't really kept up on hype or previews for this show so just going off this thread for wanting to watch it.

Pretty cool moment in Edmonton. Anthem singer mic not working or something, so he gets Edmonton crowd to sing out the American national anthem. Gotta give props to Edmonton home crowd for knowing it, now the Canadian anthem singer is letting crowd do it for their anthem too even though his mic...

It just blows my mind. Why wouldn't this move be made before the Combine/Pro days/Draft etc. Makes no sense.

Refs have nothing to do with it, if anything only thing they really screwed up last night was originally waving off the Malkin goal. I still don't even know how he thought that was interference even at real speed live. The Penguins are fantastic at being opportunistic, I give them full marks...

Sounds good.

Funny how last series against Columbus, Werenski is bleeding all over the ice from a facial fracture but refs let play continue while Pens maintained control in the O zone...and they score. Everyone knew if it had been a Pens player down, whistles would go nearly immediately. Only took waiting...

Shattenkirk been handing out freebies all series. Although I'm not sure who's been worse...him or Holtby. Good lord, don't even know what to say to that game. Goaltending, Shattenkirk sucks, goaltending, more Shattenkirk sucks...I guess not shooting the puck directly into shot blockers to...

Really liked the Redskins' draft. We were able to address needs all over the place while not having to reach for those needs. Helped that Allen fell into out lap at 17, but pretty much addressed most trouble spots at least partially with our draft. I might have traded some of the late picks...

@Uber Uberest I honestly don't follow the Wizards as much, and have felt pretty much all 2nd half of the season they might get out of round 1, but would lose to Celts or Cavs. But if you want, that's cool we can do one.

I'm still trying to wrap my head about the Niners having a good draft to even try to understand the new NFC West is throwing me for a loop.

It'll be interesting to see if Cousins works as well with Gruden calling plays again (he did initially when he first came over). On one hand, McVay's play calling was pretty good...but a little suspect in the red zone. Wonder if he has similar struggles over in LA.

I have no idea how to approach this season as far as expectations go. With all the shit regarding the firing of GMSM and Bruce Allen essentially taking over, and the somewhat mishandling of Cousins long term deal...I wanted to be pessimistic. But we did okay in free agency, addressed some...

I love so much we got Moreau at #81. Anderson is a beast too, lack of measurables hurt his stock. Moreau might not be ready to go right away, but our D is a whole lot better already. Loving our draft so far and thank goodness they focused on D.

They just haven't performed well against the bottom half of the table, so it gives teams hope.

This is all great points, Watson definitely is set up to succeed. I'm not sure how good he'll be in the NFL, but honestly the Texans don't need much just competent play. He has weapons there as you note, and that defense will be unreal. That division as a whole should be getting better (save...

No love for Skins nabbing Allen at 17? Just kidding man. I pretty much agree with everything you said here. If Winston doesn't put up monster numbers this year, I don't know what to say. He's loaded with receiving talent around him now. Seriously wondering if Cook/Mixon keep falling if...

It's weird seeing them be competent.

There goes Foster.

I wonder how far Foster falls. I have doubts we'd move up at all, Allen has been clear he is only in favor of trading back...but if he keeps falling...

Can't believe Allen fell to us. Some good luck for us? Great player at exact position of need? If tomorrow goes well draft should already be a big success, can use our abundant Day 3 picks to take some shots on guys.

Nice Game 1. Nice to see Kuznetsov get on the board again. Feel pretty good about our chances overall if we play like that the whole series. Maybe not hand out freebies like we did tonight next game, though.

Yeah Drouin has been a beast ever since the whole trade demand flap blew over. Kucherov and Hedman both absolute monsters and have reason to be like "look at our play, where you guys at?"

More or less, only they would do it even when they didn't have a lead as well when games were tied (not all the time, but some of the time). It's essentially another version of the trap. I remember a clip of a game Capitals had against Tampa where we were up a couple goals in the 3rd and...

This Blues/Preds series is going to be amazing.

Depends if there's battles over what they found and who gets their shares. But a lot of it still seems contrived. Also shitty he pissed off Gene Kranz, although he should have known he can't just ask about that stuff without it being sensitive.

Seriously fuck Guy Boucher and his 1-3-1. I'll be real interested to watch the West series tomorrow night. I think both are pretty fantastic and aside from Anaheim lot of new blood (St. Louis not exactly new, but they've only really had the one deep run).

And this is why I won't be able to quit this show...meeting Gene Kranz. The connections to the space program with all these neat bits of history more than makes up for any other bullshit of the "reality" of it.

Not to offend, I find Rags/Sens the least compelling of the 2nd round match ups (honestly the other 3 I think are all pretty fucking good). Mostly because of the Sens, I'm a little surprised they beat Boston, but I don't see them having a real chance against the Rags. As for people picking...

What the fuck, literally intro to episode 2 says "true story of one man's journey to find what lies at end of treasure map from space"...then "what he finds is worth billions". I mean shit, it's nice to know there is a payoff, but didn't need to spoil it all to that degree.

Love you too, Grimm. Legit question though, if Murray gets healthy, does he start immediately?

Really excited we have to wait until Thursday to start Round 2 (the Caps at least)...no not really, we do terrible after long breaks. Went 6-2 with my Round 1 picks, funny enough I had Nashville pushing Chicago to 7, didn't realize they were going to go full ham on Blackhawks. Only series I...

Felt like we were the much better team. Not sure what they were counting as shots for Toronto all night but didn't feel like Holtby had to work 28 saves hard through the first 2 periods. Leafs with barely any shots in the 3rd (which we basically dominated) and they get another crazy bounce off...
