Cue the ticker tape parade in Manhattan.

Avs got rined by the Flames in Calgary, playoff chances getting diceyer by the day.

Jets are a beast, big, heavy, fast, skilled, tough, structured, deep, it's hard to find any weaknesses on this Jets team.

Lack of postseason experience is about it, but if they don't choke, they could actually win the Cup.

Leafs comfortably in a playoff spot, were getting pushed around a bit by Boston, as per usual, but didn't need Matthews to win.

Nylander was shaky in his own end at times, but looked ready to play center actually, Tyler Bozak replacement; in house.

Just rest, Papi.

In what, the Olympics?

Pacioretty wants out of Montreal, asks for trade, for Patches Montreal asked Charlie Coyle + from Minny, Minny said no.

Montreal tire fire keeps on firing, warming the cockles of blue & white hearts, just, please, Hockey Gods, no Dahlin, that's all we ask.

See, thing about the IOC, it's the Europeans, and they don't want the real Team Canada at the Olympics, and now that Team USA is a hockey power, they don't want them neither, because they know we will win most of the time, they want a European winner, that's why they don't want the NHL players, so they can have these fake teams and a fake tournament with a near guaranteed European winner.

It's like the Germans were chirping Canada as if they beat the real Team Canada, nobody in Canada even noticed, cause we weren't watching the fake tournament, but the Germans can claim that they beat Canada in hockey, and that's all these surrender monkeys care about, because in hockey, Canada is the Evil Empire.

International hockey has always been ABC; Anybody But Canada, because we're too good for them, and they can't stand it, so they cheat and always have. Their latest out is to just ruin the Olympic hockey tournament and have a farce instead, so long as they can say some European team won, they don't care.

If the best in the world are playing, is Germany in the finals against Russia? No chance, but in the fake tournament with no Team Canada and no Team USA, the lesser European teams all move up in the rankings; mission accomplished.

Hell of a game Russia won in overtime. They kept it interesting almost handed it to the Krauts.
