2021 NHL Playoffs
NBC score bug seems huge? Maybe it’s just the size of the actual digits for the score...
That’s all I got so far. I don’t like afternoon games.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
I’m not a fan of afternoon games, either. But the first period of this game was pretty good!

I'm still mad about no logo. NHL has sold out.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
And the Flames are playing tonight at 10:30. Is that the west coast playoff nightcap?

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Not a pleasant viewing experience when the play of your goalie makes you hold your breath on every routine shot like it’s ovechkin on a breakaway

So Tampa-Florida is living up to the hype of the series to watch in round 1.

All of the games have been really good. This has been great.

You don’t see a “Gordie Howe hat trick” very often in the playoffs!

You don't see them much at all anymore really.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Landeskog's fight is one of the few I think is fine or better. Predatory hit, refs don't care and I'm sure St. Louis' entire gameplan is going to be physicality so a fight now forces the refs to pay attention.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
The Caps are tied in this series almost solely based on having to throw a rusty 39 yo goalie btwn the pipes. Fucking Samsanov. First two goals last night were garbage.
Anderson has had a quality career and is a decent goalie, but you need better in the playoffs.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Might be just me but I don’t like it when announcers (especially Pierre) get excited by clutching-and-grabbing interference in front of the net, calling it “old school hockey”.

Umm, Pierre, nobody says face-offs don't matter.

Who says that? He led the league in shutouts.

Slowly coming around on “Zucker isn’t unlucky, he just isn’t good enough” but not gonna bitch too much about tonight’s result.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
How hilariously ridiculous is it that the Capitals/Bruins playoff series game three is today, but the Leafs/Habs series doesn’t start until tomorrow, and the Flames and Canucks are still playing their NHL NIT series?

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Jets are noticeably trying to rough up him and Draisaitl, and to an extent it’s working. More dump-ins rather than zone entries compared to past jets-Oilers games.
Jets sacrificing a lot of offensive opportunities but I think mike smith is gonna cost the Oilers one of the first two games.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
McDoofus in the post game when asked about playoff hockey noting that 'you look around the league and some series being called differently than others'. Complaining about the refs already bud?

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
So how long does Kadri get for his latest?
(There's an argument that he was trying to make a hockey play and shit happened rather than full intent, but his history doesn't warrant much benefit of the doubt. And really, if the NHL wanted to get away from all the gray here, just eliminate open ice hits.)

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
It's the playoffs, so 2. 5-10 if in regular season.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
I think his history is gonna be a big factor here, combined with the indefensible-ness of this hit (Faulk doesn’t really make any last minute turns or change angles... just 100% dirty).
I say 6 games.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Oh man, I can already hear the defense that Faulk needs to be aware and his head was low (despite it being low for hockey reasons).

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Not in this case. Kadri was looking at Faulk's head the entire time. Should be suspended. I say 6 games too.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
I'm definitely not arguing the other side, I'm saying I wouldn't bet against that being the justification on the other side. I do think it being "a Justin Faulk type player" will make it harder for the league to let Kadri skate (pun).

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Didn't realize until I read Emily Kaplan's ESPN piece that Kadri had already been suspended 5x, and fined 3x. That ups my baseline, but the DPS still considering playoff games as 2-3x the worth of a regular season game limits the # of games still. I suppose my new estimate is 2-6 games. Like Mr. D, I'm not advocating that it should be that short, but there's still way too much "hurdur, hockey's a violent sport" troglodytes in the league for me to think he should get the more appropriate out for the remainder of the playoffs suspension.

Re: 2021 NHL Playoffs
Given what we saw with the Tom Wilson case, I think it's impossible to predict how the NHL will react to Kadri. They'll just spin the big wheel-o'-justice and see where it lands.
