Sounds like a Jeff Daniels thing to me. 
 

The pp sucked with Svech healthy and has for a long time. You cannot tell me a PP with the skill of Svech, turbo, Aho, Jarvis, necas, etc. should be scoring at less than a 20% clip. 

This is on the league plain and simple. They got to Ambitious and forgot the rules.

What a kick in the nuts. Fully healthy we take it easy. 4 1 goal games where bounces really could’ve gone either way and Bob stood on his friggin head the entire series. Oh well, this is still a great team with an extremely bright present and future. Time for football season

I ain’t watching a single second of the cup. The NHL wants to manipulate poo. Do a better job. That was clearly goaltender interference. 

I don't think many people are going to watch it period (no matter which of the 4 teams made it). No big name players, no big markets. This is definitely a year I would ask for a refund for any network broadcasters(TNT/ESPN) and advertisers that ponied up money to host or be aired during it because the viewership ratings are going to be really ugly.

It sucks to be this close and lose, but it is what it is. If we win the Stanley Cup, awesome and I'll be cheering as loud as possible. If we lose, it just means I've freed up time from having to watch sports and actually do something productive.

I agree, this team played hard and through a lot of adversity in this series and lost by one goal each game with almost every ticky tack call going against them, all the injuries, playing two guys who were or would have been in the AHL (Mac and Drury) if we were healthy....nah I am not down on the team at all.

Ghost was pretty bad in the ECF, he doesn't deserve to get a big $$$ contract but he will it just won't be from us.  Pool Party doesn't know what he's supposed to be, I think Edmonton fugged him up.  I think he needs to learn to play some good D with his size and be a third liner with some scoring potential.  He looked lost in our "system."

Patches and Svech and good health for our other players would have made this series different.  Just bad luck!

And as much as I’ve cussed out goalies this season, they did their jobs in the playoffs.  We’re getting some roster spots opening with Gardiner and Kane most likely gone.  We do have to improve the power play, whether it’s a coaching change or with personnel.  I would like to see us get some size over the off-season too.  Svech and Burns of those guys, but id like to see one more body that could hand it back to these physical teams

With Svechnikov and Pacioretti we would have won this series handily. Without them we got what Waddell didn’t pay for at the TDL.  Proud the boys made it this far.

Do not make light. The NHL fuged us. I really hope dundon appeals that tomorrow.

I know both Raanta and Andersen are FAs at the end of the year.  After what Freddie showed do we re-sign him?  I think we only re-sign one of Raanta or Andersen most likely, but Freddie showed up big time and kept us in all the games....and Raanta did as well in Game 2.  I like Koochie, but I still don't see him as the starting goalie next year.

Some tough decisions ahead.

Officials and leagues will almost never admit to being wrong unless the receipts are put out there and the majority of people make them respond.  This crap has been going on so long against the Canes that every year I say the same thing, and I think Rod needs to tell his team this too:  "You guys have to beat the other team and the refs, don't leave a game in the hands of the refs or you will ultimately lose every single mother fugging time.  Play to make sure the refs and league can't steal it from you."

I'd take Raanta over Freddie. Freddie has shown he can't stay healthy.

If we can get Freddie for 1 or 2 years cheap, maybe.

Fug PK Subban!!!

Good on Tripp for calling him out!

I'm honestly surprised anybody even listens to that loser (PK). I figured he was completely irrelevant and just living under a rock somewhere, but I guess not.

And honestly, it's pretty crazy he would say that when he had to be one of the whiniest defensemen I've seen in the 20ish years I've followed hockey. Then again, he may not have any braincells left because he got destroyed on hits a lot of times in his career.

    • Almost may as well keep Dalton. Geno won’t be competition. IMO.  He could be but I don’t think they will take that approach. I think more Andy pt 2, big bro, mentor, emergency starter.  I really want to be wrong but we have had no encouraging signs there for two years.    If we are stuck with Bryce again, and it looks like we will be, I would so much more prefer a younger player with a possible future. A guy that hasn’t been great but maybe didn’t have the best situation - and let nature take its course. But I don’t expect anything that I want to happen, as far as it goes. It never does. Not one time yet under Tepper. Starting with the 3-4. 
    • We can go on and on about the players, but I'm more into judging Canales O based on the playcalling and general design. It's still a very mixed bag for me. There are times where I like what I see. The rolling pockets he'll call at times seem to play right into Bryce's best qualities which I like. Him using Jimmy Horn with certain plays is good - although execution by Horn has been frustrating when he missed an opportunity for a big play. if it's 4th down and a pass play, I like the odds of a good play. Giving Coker more snaps over XL recently is a potentially good sign that he's not satisfied with XL's mistakes and is adjusting accordingly. I don't follow why we don't use the tight ends more often in the pass game, but seems that those work better than average. At some point, we were really running the ball well, so that's something, I suppose. On the other hand, while he has shown to adjust, it often is too much of a swing in the other direction. Too often, we do something and it's working - like if running to the perimeter is getting us yards - only for Canales to then go back go stuffing up in the middle and wasting a down. Don't need to harp about the times when he tries to be too cute and it blows up in our faces. Canales has too many bad tendencies that our opponents are picking up on, like how we are quite likely to run on first down. Finally, I sometimes get the impression his play designs are for players that we don't actually have. We just don't really have explosive players on our teams that can make guys miss, and so these route concepts really should reflect the reality that YAC is not really expected and so it needs to be more vertical and/or have elements that help create separation by design. In other words, it still feels like the margin of error for a successful play, even a basic one, is too narrow.
    • Sure want him to play if possible!!!!
