Martin has a .000 save percentage so far.

I'll call game after the 1st if Carolina doesn't respond.

fug you RBA for resting players. Let your guys get embarrassed on the last day of the season.

Watch the Canes get smoked all the way back to Raleigh.

No Tripp tonight? So, Canes own all the tie-breakers, so they have home ice regardless, except for the Rags. At least that's what Maniscalco said.

Here are the CBJs not playing tonight: Fantilli, K. Johnson, Carson Meyer, Yegor Chinakhov, Voronkov, Boqvist, Tarasov, Jake Bean, Patrick Laine, Jenner...

Going with Martin Necas. Although I have a sneaking suspicion TT may be the one. Necas may feed TT and easy one because we'll need Turbo to step up in the playoffs and not have that "I don't wanna shoot" mentality that has hampered his career, imho.

If there's a home ice advantage to be decided, I don't know what RBA is thinking. Unless he believes this team will perform on the road in the playoffs as they did the second half of the season. But this is a different brand of hockey now, so I have no clue what he's thinking.

I'll bet Burns is getting the night off. Wonder who else. Maybe RBA has already talked with CBJ and they're going to go soft tonight like Ottawa did for the Rags.

This board is as close to social media as I get, so any info on morning skate lines, who may be sitting tonight, etc., is appreciated.

Ottawa made zero effort against the Rags. Was like one of those football walk-thrus in the hotel ballroom. "Okay, boys, let's just get this over with and we'll go home tomorrow and forget about the season."

Adding even more games to the NHL playoffs is nuts. The NHL off-season will soon be 6 weeks. Now, if the NHL does expand, they also need to realign the divisions to 4 divisions. Once that is done, lose the wildcard and just go with top 2 per division.

Imagine of the NFL had the same control over teams like the NHL. The Panthers would likely have been gone a couple years ago. What a blessing that would have been.

They really let Chicago hang around far too long.

Especially if he's changing up lines.

I don't believe in hedging. I don't believe in kicking the PAT when a 2-pt conversion will win. I don't believe in laying up. I'm going with Jarvy Tuesday. If he doesn't play, I'll take Aho. If both sit I'll take Guentzel.

So, the Caps game last night. Jensen goes down hard after hitting the boards head first. He's stretchered off and there was about 1:50 left in the period. Refs called the period early and sent teams to the rooms. Did they add the time to the 2nd period?

Very close to the end of the Boston game he got hit into the boards at the bench.

Bedard is a -40. Holy balls. Bad as Chicago is, he could be a -100 before he can start digging out of that hole.

2 in a row for TT. I think he got hurt the other night.

Not a penalty. Bad call

Crap.... was late to the party today.... Been out most of the day and haven't read back. Anything of significance happening with the team?

Going Necas with these lines. DavidEng.... who ya got?

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/rockets-owner-on-bringing-nhl-team-to-houston-im-working-on-it/ On Wednesday, Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta said that he's "working" on bringing an NHL team to Houston, and possibly a WNBA franchise to the city, too. In an interview on CNBC's "Power Lunch" show, the billionaire businessman revealed that he's actively pursuing his dream of bringing an NHL team to the Texan city. "We would like to work to get an NHL team in Houston — I'm working on it," Fertitta said. The 66-year-old was also asked about the rise and success of women's basketball in the wake of the NCAA tournaments, where the women's championship game outdrew the men on television for the first time. In response, Fertitta shared that bringing a WNBA team to Houston isn't out of the question. "There can be a lot of growth in years to come... I would consider, definitely, with the growth of women's sports to talk about a WNBA team in Houston," he said. Houston has not had a WNBA team since the Comets folded in 2008. This isn't the first time that Fertitta has stated his interest in bringing additional sports teams to the fourth-largest city in the United States. In February, he told Bloomberg that "we are talking to the NHL, but it’s got to be good for both of us," which referenced the economic boost an NHL team could bring to the downtown core. In October 2017, when Fertitta was announced as the Rockets' new owner, he said that he "would put an NHL team here tomorrow" if he could. "...I want to see Toyota Center filled up 300 nights a year, definitely. So we’ll do whatever we can do, but whatever we do is going to make sense. Will we be aggressive? Yes. That’s my nature.” However, when it comes to getting a new team, no matter the sport, it's easier said than done. In the current hockey landscape, an expansion franchise or a relocated team could be a possible route for Fertitta. For example, the NHL and the Arizona Coyotes have made progress regarding a move to Utah, multiple sources confirmed Wednesday.
