Kadri offered in person so a big one is in play.

He had the bad timing of coming while the Wilson BS is in everyone's minds. League might also feel comfortable dropping the hammer because of how good Colorado is (NEITHER should factor in, of course, but this is the NH-Fucking-L).

So I'm gonna say 6 games, MAYBE even 8.

I say they call it "rest of the playoffs" knowing damn well that's two games

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu May 20, 2021 2:57 pm

Unless you know of something really bad about to go down, there's no way for 2 games to be the rest of Kadri's playoffs.

Brain Fart had him ON the Blues though of course I know better. Sorry bout that.

Kind of hard to believe the Leafs are playing the Canadiens in the playoffs for the first time in my life. Not in my literal life but don’t remember much from when I was 5.

Tavares does not look good. TV here is shitty. Was that a knee to the head?

Post by **brian** » Thu May 20, 2021 7:01 pm

Jesus. A shitty hit then accidental knee to the head. That sucks

I don’t fully understand what happened. Was he trying to get himself up or was something so bad the trainer had to take the chance of moving him that way?

Dunno. That was scary though. He was obviously out of it. If it was Game 7 and Toronto was down 3-0 would have been a five-minute major.

Sportsnet never showed a replay of that moment but i figured he probably said he could get up and the trainer went with it until Tavares lost it. Maybe there's like a phase before the effects kick in when you feel like you're ok?

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Thu May 20, 2021 7:21 pm

I don’t think so. It looked more like the trainer decided he had to keep Tavares down or hold his neck and prioritized the latter?

Yeah it did seem like Tavares was hell bent on getting up for some reason.

I don't understand the fight afterwards. Is Corey Perry supposed to be answering for something? I mean the Leafs couldn't actually think that was intentional right? Granted they might not have been able to see a replay. But if Perry somehow did that on purpose that's like the dirtiest play... literally ever?

How did I never notice during the regular season that you just have to shoot it over Jarry's left shoulder and it's a goal?

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu May 20, 2021 8:11 pm

10 people in the penalty boxes! This is a thing?

travzilla · Post by **travzilla** » Thu May 20, 2021 8:14 pm

Another great game in Florida. Panthers tie it 5-5 with 3 minutes left. Looking like OT

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu May 20, 2021 8:16 pm

Fucking shit. RASS!!!

And, Montreal would give up four goals on the power play?

When it’s Perry, one usually just assumes it was a deliberately dirty hit.

He's also going to do some serious damage in the Xbox NHL 2015 fantasy league incidentally.

What is it with NY teams that they can’t play a game in a normal amount of time. This NYI/PIT game gonna be longest 3-period game (hopefully!) in history.

There have been some incidents.

If only the Islanders had a goalie like Lehner or Pittsburgh a goalie like Fleury.

This is as wild a night of playoff hockey as I can remember.

Bennett and Lomberg! Guys not good enough to play in Calgary!

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Thu May 20, 2021 8:47 pm

Florida really needed this game.

Glove side? He let everything in there in game 1.

I hope jlo was being slightly sarcastic. Maybe you were, too. I CAN’T TELL RIGHT NOW

Had the islanders broadcast preempt NBCSN tonight locally. I think they do a pretty good job, even if Butch was a little whiny about the way icing was called tonight. Always preferred then tot the NYR guys.

That 2nd period from the VGK is about as dominating as is possible against a good team like Minnesota. Like I’ve seen dominating periods before obvs but one of the best 6 or teams on the planet was made to look ridiculous for 20 minutes.

Man when they hit a gear and can turn xG into aG, they're scaryyyy

Kadri gets 8 games, which is pretty significant, but fair given his rap sheet.

Trav, are you ready for another all Oilers intermission?

No kidding. Not out of the ordinary for sportsnet.
I've got Jays/Canes/twitter on my screens anyway :)

A really pretty goal by Duchene to win it for Nashville late in Double OT.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri May 21, 2021 11:11 pm

As soon as he dipped under Bean it felt over but the finish itself was really pretty.

Absolutely. Especially this iteration with the media sucking their dicks.

The only thing more maddening than the Wheel of Justice is the random enforcement of goaltender interference.

Can’t believe Montreal even tried to challenge that one.
