Basketball Refs throw the champs a bone, calling a penalty in 2OT
Washington powerplay is cold tho, Loafitis momentum killer.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
And they finally do. Caps done, all first seeds eliminated, year of the upset strikes again.
Mr. Game 7 strikes again, game winning assist to former Av Brock McGinn. Figures. Pucks on net, traffic in front, Justin Williams knows.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
The old Capitals are back, taking the foot off the gas, and letting scrappy teams hang around until they get their shit together and pull off the upset. Pitiful performance, Loafitis returns to Washington.
The Jerk Store called, and they’re going to round two! Costanza knows.

Darren Dregger says Mike Babcock's contract is front loaded and most of it is paid already.
Says he doesn't think ownership or Shanahan are looking to fire him yet, but if they did, it's only a small portion of the money remaining.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Yet more reason to fire Babcock, hurray. Too bad the Leafs will probably still puss out.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Some media sources are saying he's done already.
The advanced stats nerds have a fantasy that Keefe is going to replace him.
I'd say Shanny will give him one more year to pull his socks up.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Dregger speculates that Marner's contract is not going to be a discount.
So players are definitely getting tossed overboard.
I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
Johnsson for Ritchie.
Kapanen for Pesce.
Kadri for Dobson.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Marner would be a dummy to take a discount, especially considering taxes, I don't blame him. Get dat Rantanen money, Mitchy. If Rantanen settles for a discount, I'd be shocked.
Could be a good thing, if the Leafs handle it right, as you say.
