Not that it ultimately matters because Colorado, but hey!
To the Kings and WC teams for keeping the fucking Knights out of the playoffs:
The WC WC race took a turn with Vegas losing 3 of 4, and losing to the Devils the other night... now really needing a win against the Caps tonight.
It would be pretty nostalgic for the Canucks to make it... they were so easy to hate back in the day. I think they won multiple Presidents trophies, but except for one Finals appearance, just wasn't a good playoff team at all. The Avalanche also took the division from them a few times, and once or twice on the last day of the season.
Granted, 20 years later the Avalanche need some playoff success so they don't become the same team. [Reply]

Yeah, Avalanche looking a little more normal tonight... Toews is back, haven't heard anything on Landeskog or Rantanen.
I saw a video on Vegas' Lehner drama the other day... and how their management has never trusted what they had in their team, even after making the Finals in year one. Then the Fleury drama on top of that, too. I hadn't ever thought of it that way and have mostly hated them because they're the luckiest try-hard Wild-like team ever.... but, seems like everyone has their reasons. :-) [Reply]
Preds/Flames was a great game.. Flames tied it with 0.1 seconds left and won it in OT. Stars would now catch the Preds with 2 points tonight.
And as the Stars guys said... "two power play chances total tonight, it would take a felony to get a man advantage at this point" ....refs already in whistle swallowing mode. [Reply]

I read yesterday that Francouz took a puck to the head a couple games ago, and apparently messed him up pretty good. They called up their goalie from their local farm team. Hopefully Kuemper can stay healthy... [Reply]

Frankie is on the bench tonight. He's bruised but appears to be OK. [Reply]

That was crazy. Hanging out on the bench and get smacked right in the face by a piece of vulcanized rubber going 100mph. An inch away from possibly blinding him. [Reply]
