Saw this come across my feed. What do y’all hockey fans think? Personally I’m torn. Do I particularly like the technique, no. But also as long as it’s moving forward I don’t see much of an issue with it. 

I agree with The Great One. It's not an even matchup at that point; the shooter has all the advantage.

But, I'm also in the camp that the regular season and playoff overtime rules need to be consistent. Right now, there are no shootouts in the playoffs. Why? Because they are an anti-climactic end to a game.

The playoffs are now a 20-minute, 5-on-5, sudden death period. Either make the regular season the same or, at the very least, just extend the 3-on-3, as Gretzky suggests, to eliminate as much of the possibility of a shootout as you can.

Okay....I think it's now safe to say the Canes are in the driver's seat for the Division.

That butt-kicking my Devils got from Winnipeg combined with the Canes winning their game pretty much sealed it for you guys. 

That said, however, Florida just overtook the Pens (who got THEIR asses beat by my Devils last night) in the WC spot.

I don't know what team you guys would prefer facing from the WC teams but I can't imagine Florida would be at the top of your lists.

Canes swept the Penns but all 4 games were close with 2 OT games. 1 and 1 with Flada with our last game of the season coming against them on the 13th. Toss up I guess but I prefer we play the Pens. But as it stands Islanders and Flada are tied in points for the wild cards so who knows could end up laying the Islanders.

Net front results in a goal for Boston, pretty sure the Canes think it’s illegal to do that.

We had a ton of net front in the last 10 minutes of the game. But so did Nashville. Didn’t matter if the goalie could see it or with 4 bodies in the way.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
