VGK rinses the Jets 5-0.

Whatever happened to that Patrik Laine guy?

He's only got 29 goals and 48 points.

Fortnite perhaps? According to his online player profile, he played 1,711 matches from Sept 2018 to Feb 2019, that's a lot of Fortnite during the regular season, right thur.

That's a damn shame. I'd rather hear that a kid was on the coke than that fortnight shit.

It's pretty good actually, especially for a free game. I just suck at it is all, never was good at first or third person shooters, even my favorites from that genre.

Black N Gold v Lightening tonight...last meeting of regular season I believe.

One of these teams will win Lord Stanley’s Cup IMHO.

Not going to be the Bruins. I have my doubts about Tampa because the curse of the President's Trophy.

I'm not ruling out a Caps repeat, they're still the biggest and the meanest.

They got the monkey off their back, there's no pressure now, they won't be squeezing their sticks anymore.

I don't think much has changed, I can see Caps v. Bolts in the East and Bolts getting beat again in the face of a physical pounding, just target Stamkos and Kucherov and take the body.

Panthers @ Loafs.

Panthers have actually been hot lately, Mike Babcock Country Club could get rinsed here too.

Altho the Panthers tend to play badly in Toronto for some reason.

MBCC starts on time for a change.

Forecheck is caving the Cats in so far.

Patty Marleau back with Kadri, pays dividends.

Jake Muzzin unloads the howitzer.

2-0 Loafs.

Cats just swapped goalies tho, here comes Strombone.

Tavares scores his 42nd and 43rd.

First one garbage goal.

Second one Nylander-Hyman-Tavares tic-tac-toe

Indeed, in the Metro, I have the Caps as favorites to come out of it. Bolts as the favorites to come out of Atlantic. A rematch of Caps-Bolts Eastern Final is not that unlikely, not much has changed in the East as you say.

I favor the Bolts to win it all, but the Presidents Trophy curse, rough style match up against the Caps, and the monkey being off their back could propel the Caps to another playoff win over the Bolts.

The Caps big weapon is that Ovie is both an offensive juggernaut and a forechecking juggernaut all in one.

I would assign Ovie to go after Stammer, hunt him down and take the body.

Kuznetsov is the real Conn Smythe. The one-two punch down the middle is what makes them so formidable, not that Ovechkin shouldn't get a shit ton of credit too, just saying.

Same with Tampa too. The one-two punch of Stamkos and Point down the middle is what makes them so formidable, not that Kucherov shouldn't get a shit ton of credit too, he's going to win the Hart after all, just saying.

Teams that don't have that one-two punch down the middle, will probably lose to teams that do, unless their goalie steals the series for them, or they just shit the bed randomly.
