NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

Boy, Smith is playing a hell of a game so far. Think all the defensive players had a bit of a talking to after allowing 14 points in the last game?

Refs really massaging this game. Guess you gotta milk the big markets.

You think there's not a big market in Tampa Bay? All the Canadians who winter down there cheer for them.

I'm just joshin but you could fit about 10 TB markets into the NY market and still not even scratch the rim probably.

They gave us 1 soft call yea, but Rangers got 4 soft ass calls. How many times did they trip us and not get called. I counted at least 3 blatant ones.

Also Lightning Dman look absolutely crap out there.

Lol Oilers. Shame these frauds robbed us of the superior Flames/Avs WCF.

One trick Ponies. They won't get this far again anytime soon.

Super dirty play by Kane, should get a game since Kadri didn’t play again.

Didn't see it, what did he do?

Dang. That's pretty rough.

Fully aware of the stigma against Kadri, not my favorite player on the Avs for sure. That doesn't mean that dirty plays against him go unpunished. That could have ended up alot worse than him just leaving the game, still to see if he is able to play in game 4. Kane has been on the warpath since early game 2, can just tell he is frustrated and this isn't the first dumb penalty he has taken.

edit - Just found out Kadri is at least out the rest of this series, possibly longer. IMO at least a game suspension should bein order for Kane.

I think that says more about how poorly Markstrom played. The biggest tell was in Game 1 in that series, despite the fact the Flames won 9-6.

The panel of Chelios and Messier have been the only good thing about the ESPN broadcasts.

Well that and this interview of Rod Brind'Amour during a hard game (He's sitting right there!!). Makes me feel better about Cooper throwing shade during Nick Paul's intermission interview

We got ourselves a series boys
