  1. I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed Kim's Convenience. I thought it'd be like Fresh off the Boat, but it's much better

    1. ShakyWalton

      ShakyWalton

      There is actually a Kims Convenience store just up the street from me...I live the dream.

    2. Dazzle

      Dazzle

      I would like to watch it.

  2. How is Colorado only barely in a playoff spot when they have such a beastly top line?

     

    Where are they really deficient? 

    1. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      Almost everywhere else?

       

      They sort of remind me of the WCE Canucks, just with better goaltending.

    2. RetroCanuck

      RetroCanuck

      How is Edmonton not in the playoffs when they have the best (maybe) player in the world?

       

      Takes more then a few guys to make a team that can win.

  3. How close was Selanne to scoring 50-in-50 in his rookie season?

    1. Baer.

      Baer.

      I believe he had either 40 or 43 goals by the 50 game mark.

    2. Jig Jones

      Jig Jones

      Took him about 60 games to get 50. He scored 25 goals in his last 21 games. 

  4. Nic Dowd gives a really good interview. Super natural, not nervous at all. 

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      The next Brad Richardson, or something.

  5. Shipachyov retires from the NHL with 1 goal in 3 career games. Will go back to the KHL and presumably play in the Olympics.

    1. canucklehead44

      canucklehead44

      Too bad, was excited to see what he could do in North America. Would have been a good fit for the Penguins, surprised they didn't trade for him

    2. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      McPhee says there was a trade in place, but Shipachyov chose to retire instead. Just didn't want to be over hear anymore. Tryamkin style.

  6. Is Baer to the BBB line what Morrison was to the WCE? The underappreciated third piece?

    1. JM_

      JM_

      sort of, but Morrison played tougher... :huh: I'd like to see a bit more grit out of Sven 

    2. Baer.

      Baer.

      Sven is highly underrated, but I do agree he needs to get stronger. I like him because he fits the speed Horvat and Boeser has and all 3 of those guys like to go to the net. 

  7. I guess Tate Olson and Carl Neill weren't drafted again?

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Oh yeah, right. 

       

      Sign them by Utica ? (Backdoor strategy to see how they do in the minors, without eating two contracts?)

    2. RetroCanuck

      RetroCanuck

      or just save those spots for better prospects. Holm, Pedan, Subban, McEneny, Cederholm, Brisebois etc.

  8. Ottawa could have beaten a Nashville team playing this badly, right? Especially this Rinne?

    1. J-23

      J-23

      Nope, Ottawa is a Canadian team, Bettman would've done everything in his power to make sure they don't win the cup.

    2. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Stop. I don't want to think about it.....

  9. Has there been any word on whether Columbus is giving us their 2017 2nd? They had a fantastic regular season, and it's a shallower draft so it makes sense but why no official word?

    1. Art Vandelay

      Art Vandelay

      June 1 is the deadline. No official word yet. Lindenning have been saying things, that would only make sense if we ARE getting the pick. So they might be revealing unofficial info.

    2. Quantum

      Quantum

      Based on how the Blue Jackets did this year + the consenus that this is a "weak" draft, I suspect we'll be getting this pick. We likely won't know for certain until closer to June 1st (either on June 1st or two of three days before June 1st). It'll be nice to actually have two 2nd rounders this year, even if it is a "weak" draft. Hopefully they can trade up into the first round with one of them in exchange for a bad contract and select Kailer Yamamato late in the 1st (I feel like he's this draft's sleeper pick).

  10. Edmonton lost the series when they choked game 5.

    1. Alflives

      Alflives

      Don't care how the Coil lose, just glad they lose.  First the Flames, then the Leafs, and now the Oilers.  Happy those three are gone.  Can definitely get behind Burr and the Sens.  

    2. Squamfan

      Squamfan

      don't know how keeler holding the pad for 8 seconds and them scoring is coking. yes the older two goals are coking but the third was given

  11. Just wait till we draft Dahlin next year. Dahlen to Dahlin back to Dahlen shoots, rebound, Dahlin scores!

     

    Good luck Jon Abbott

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Pronounciation unclear...

       

      Obscene for Dahlin, or

      Stallin' for Dahlen?

    2. goalie13

      goalie13

      That reminds me of a comedy piece some impersonator did on Dan Russell's show, probably about 15 years ago.  It was along the lines of (in the voice of Foster Hewitt) Recchi to Ricci to Reekie to Richer, back to Reekie, over to Recchi, Ricci shoots... Richer on the rebound... scores!  Goal by Shanahan. :P 

  12. What time will results start coming in tomorrow?

    1. Green Building

      Green Building

      Around 3pm Pacific, with around 20 states results crashing the 5pm mark

       

      Give or take

      Tortorella's Rant

      All day, really. It'll be all over by the evening. And civil war is likely to break out when Trump loses.

      Just kidding. Most of Trump's gun toting lunatics are pussies.

  13. Ever since an argument I had in elementary school about this, I've gotten extremely irked whenever someone pronounces 'infinite' the same way as 'infinity'.

    1. AngelicHearts

      AngelicHearts

      Never heard anyone pronounce it like that, but I can see why it would be irritating.

    2. Salmonberries

      Salmonberries

      I guess it doesn't take much to set you off then eh Welly!

  14. I am loving the up tempo hockey of Desjardins.

    1. TimberWolf

      TimberWolf

      me too but I hope we can do this in cali without getting blown out.

    2. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      I think we'll catch some teams off guard.

  15. Did somebody hack the CBC feed or was a global warming message part of the opening ceremony?

    1. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Hope it's the former :^) ...

    2. ShakyWalton

      ShakyWalton

      It wasnt..it was part of the opening ceremony.....I thought it was a little much......Brazil of all countries that wont be satisfied until the rainforest is gone..I actually couldnt believe it.

  16. I've gotten sick more in the last 2 months than I have in the last 2 years.

  17. Why is everybody missing the fact that Horvat is now 20. Throughout the media and on this board I've seen him referred to as 19 still. I swear, he'll be 19 until he turns 21.

    1. Intoewsables

      Intoewsables

      can you believe that Sam Bennett kid is just 18 years old tho

    2. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      Bennett is 18 and will be 18 until he retires. And then he will remain 18

  18. You guys are all getting it wrong. 18-year-old is his name. 18-year-old Sam Bennett. He's been getting called by his middle name for years, but finally, thanks to CBC, his first name is getting the respect it deserves.

    1. Tortorella's Rant

      Tortorella's Rant

      Right. But did you hear he's just 18 years old? Remarkable!

    2. 2SKATES1STICK

      2SKATES1STICK

      horvat is so old news at 19

  19. CBC riding Bennett's dick all night. I can't listen to any more of that. I'm muting and playing TSN 1040 in the background for game 2.

  20. Anyone else watching the TSN special on Johnathan Pitre? Amazing. So powerful.

    1. Brad Marchand

      Cringed through most of the video thinking about how much pain he goes through every day.

      Amazingly tough kid and surprisingly articulate.

    2. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      And the Jets got far enough into the process that they had him take a photo in their jersey but hadn't signed him yet?

  21. Horvat is 25th in rookie scoring despite being 103rd in avg rookie TOI/gm.

    1. JE14

      JE14

    2. 2SKATES1STICK

      2SKATES1STICK

      I laughed a little bit the first time I found out his real first name was "Bowie".

      No wonder he goes by "Bo".
