Glad Slavin said he’s ok. The fact he was allowed to talk to media surprises me that he didn’t come back out. I guess they just wanted to be ultra sure he doesn’t have lingering concussions symptoms. 

I don’t think he was concussed. He seemed to know where he was and what he was doing, his body just seemed to give out.

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 have no horse in this race or team I’d like to see win. I was going to watch just to see Vegas stomp chuckys face in but after that no call, I’m done. 
 

Teams over the years that I’ve rooted or would be willing to cheer for in a cup.

Canes > Vancouver > Philly(I dunno why cause when we play them I hate them but I think the fact they mashed Washington’s face in during the playoff series a decade ago…) > Colorado(more so the Colorado of the 90’s/Early 2000’s I don’t like this current team) > Red Wings > Seattle(gotta love that uni)

Fug PK Subban!!!

Good on Tripp for calling him out!

Also agreed. I almost started to like PK at the desk during the regular season. He sucked during the playoffs. But this, this is fuging disgusting. You want to post it up and explain why it’s a clean hit. Ok totally fine, it’s textbook and a good teaching moment for younger generations on why keeping your head up even when you are exhausted is important. 
 

But to say a player got sent into next week, when he clearly had major head trauma is just below most people. 
 

Also the Florida crowd cheering when he fell again was absolutely disgusting. The crowds these games have just been absolute garbage. Toronto and Texas throwing poo on the ice. Florida cheering slavin’s injury. Florida throwing rats, which 20 years ago the NHL said would draw a major fine/penalty/disqualification.

Actually after extensively rewatching it I don’t think that should be called clean(it currently is now) Bennett definitely was targeting head to head contact even though his shoulder went through the body. He was willing to risk himself just to take Slavin out.

I will say that’s one of the best handshake lines I’ve seen in a long time. There is no love lost, but a ton of love given between these two teams. (Chunky and little chucky excluded). Even Lomberg surprised me.

The purpose of the hit was to take Slavin out. A D-man playing the puck from behind the net is of little concern to anyone and, let's get real here, not many players line someone up for a shot like that behind the net. So, yes, in that regard, it was intentional, it was meant to injure and there's no explaining it away as "playoff hockey."

Oh well. Florida is going to get their cup. Good on the other two remaining Staal bros. And fug the NHL. 

I don't think so.

Go about it with the mentality that removing Tkachuk from the equation ensures a better outcome and Vegas will triumph. Just take out Cheap-Shot Chuck.

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      This is why it's probably going to be hard to trade down. This draft is fairly light on top tier talent but pretty deep in talent of that next tier down. I don't think there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up and numerous teams might be entertaining moving down. Not a good market to trade down if that's the case.

      And if they can't find a reasonable trade down (I think we would need a 2nd rounder this year bare minimum to make any trade down worth it). I would definitely expect Dan to trade UP for an EDGE or LB in the top half of R2. Just makes too much sense. We also have a plethora of mid round picks to use as ammo.

      I don't mean to make this a mock draft thread particularly,  but every time I do a mock I have been investigating the talent that goes off the board between picks 8 and our low 2nd rounder pick 57. There is a gargantuan amount of talent still left on the board in the top half of the 2nd round every time I do one. Losing our original 2nd round pick to the Bears as the last pick of the Bryce trade stings badly .  I'm particularly looking at elite players like Carson Schwesinger (LB), Luther Burden (WR), Matthew Golden (WR), Maxwell Hairston (CB) , Nick Scourton , Landon Jackson, Donavan Ezeraku (all DEs/OLBs) . The sweet spot in this draft really feels like pick 15 to 40 - ish. This is why the Bears should be making bank with this draft. I don't know how realistic a trade down is from 8, but if we could pick up any teams higher 2nd rounder and still grab their 1st? We'd be cooking with gas man.  Say for example we get Tet McMillan at pick 8, if you wait all the way to 57 you stand the chance of not getting any impact pass rushers in this draft. And I don't think this team can afford that.  I'd personally love for them to take a break from drafting wrs in R1 or R2 (i think we've taken one in the top 2 rounds in the majority of the past few years), and stick to repairing the nfls worse defense in history (in terms of total points against iirc, or was it yards? Also included my most recent mock as an example . Don't put too much into the  late round selections lol
