Me too
22 yo Georgiev to play his 3rd NHL game tonight against EDM. If McD doesn't get at least one hat trick and/or they lose, then that entire franchise should be dismantled and sold for parts.
Rags can't even tank right. Spooner not too bad though, eh?
Looking forward to outdoor game today. Wish I was going, but will still be fun to watch.
I never post in these threads until the playoffs, but I'm kind of flabbergasted by the Caps this year. I'm pretty sure after they got knocked out last year I said that their window was basically closed.
But now that I'm posting, it'll surely mean their downfall. Sorry Merrith.
I gotta say i thought the Bruins needed to be a more complete rebuild before they were serious cup contenders again. They have been absolutely on fire this year after having a crappy first month and a half.
Marchand being one of the best offensive players on Hockey 3 years running now is also something i absolutely did not see coming either. He's always been underrated by me and many others since he was a prospect.
Didnt they have something like 6 1st/2nd round picks in the last 2 years? DeBrusk and McAvoy coming out of those. Thats a pretty decent rebuild.
Bruins really struck gold with McAvoy, kid is a stud. They have been playing really well, but TB are insane right now. If they stay healthy, my money is on them in the east.
Who knows though, Bergeron coming back might put them in the same stratosphere.
TB is fantastic and will be scary to be sure. I would not count the Penguins out either.
I don't see the East as wide open as some conferences in other years. But In a series it can often depend on who gets hot/has good pp/pk, and most importantly perhaps a hot goalie can swing series.
My hope is with Bergeron back and healthy and Rask on top of his game Burins should have as good a chance as anyone to win a cup.
