4-2 Florida

Keep it going, us southern teams have to stick together , the northern and Canadian elite still don't think we belong 

I know, it’s funny even though the lightning made it to the finals 3 times in a row and won the cup 2 of those times and then the panthers and canes records. It’s like they don’t even know the Canes have a bunch of players from Finland, NC.

Lmao... Pavelski with 4 goals, Domi with 3 assists and even a Hakinpaa sighting... you'd think Dallas was dominating.

Unfortunately Oettenger went full on swiss cheese!

Wait till tomorrow night?, it will be the glorious Devils vs the ignorant red necks who don't know the difference between a clothesline and a blue line 

What's so glorious about the Devils?

"glorious" were the Rags and they got their "glorious" asses kicked out of the arena and onto the Golf course.

Make no mistake...the National Media HATES this matchup because there is no BIG Market to leech money off of.

There isn't a "big market" team left in the playoffs. Matter of fact, a few didn't even make the playoffs (Washington, Pittsburgh).

And NHL markets are far different than, say, NFL or MLB markets. The Kings are in a big market, but that doesn't mean they draw TV ratings.

And, the NHL has major bandwagon markets (Rags, Pens, Caps).

Does anyone else find this whole ticket master Florida panthers blocking Canadians thing hilarious. Everyone in the media is acting shocked like it never happened before, they do realize this happens in every playoff of every sport right? Everyone geoblocks on the first round of sales.

it's so ridiculous. Secondary market doesn't restrict. Every team does it. The Rangers fans went off on us last year for posting something and the Yankees do it. Just outright hypocrisy on anyone that criticizes it.  Home team has every right to do what they can to restrict away fans from at least buying up front. There are probably plenty of Leafs fan Sunrise residents who will have no restrictions. The rest can pay secondary market prices or stay home.

Didn't watch OT and didn't see the Kraken's first goal, but not sure any goalie was stopping goals 2, 3, or 4 for the Kraken. 2 was terrible D from the Stars after a turnover (all 5 players close to the left boards) and Schultz sniped it top left shelf after a wide open cross crease pass. Goals 3 and 4 were crazy deflections that would be borderline impossible reactions to make to save (honestly, the only way to save them would probably be being out of position). Honestly, I thought Otter made some really good saves in the 2nd and early 3rd when Dallas was mostly on the defensive.

Dallas folded like a house of cards to the Kraken forecheck in the first and their terrible turnovers/positioning gave the Kraken most of their goals.

I checked the box score and it looked like they scored 3 in 3 mins? That will quiet a home crowd

    • I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.
    • Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
