Another stay of execution. Back in Raleigh on Thursday.

No.
That sucker punch was good and exactly the kind of thing missing in the new pussified NHL. Marchand deserved every bit of what he got and more.

I'd like to not see it at all. But if it's gonna happen, let it happen to that rat berkeley. He does E36 M3 like that game in and game out.

I'm not going to defend him, you're right on that he doesn't have a great reputation. If he delivers that same punch though, hes suspended 100%. You can't deny that part... It was a dirty play, and like AC said- I'd prefer to not see that at all anymore. Marchand included. I'm 100% all for holding everyone accountable to the same standard, but I also recognize past history plays a big part. So if Bennett gets a game or two for it, give Marchand 10 for the equivalent play. I could live with that. I feel like that's not too much to ask.
The Hurricanes... I tell you what. It really seemed like they stopped playing to win in the 3rd and went into "protect the lead" mode. It obviously didn't work against the Rangers.
I really think Rangers/Hurricanes should've been the final battle in the East, and I dislike the playoff format that the NHL is using.
I guess I gotta find my Rangers hat from 1994 now.
Let's go Rangers!
berkeley Tkachuk (doesn't rhyme with the filter). Not sure what it is but he irritates me.

KREIDS!!!
We've got Igor, you don't.
71% of the planet is covered by water. The rest by Shesterkin!
Hopefully the Canucks send Edmonton packing tonight. It's been a one goal win every time over two series and I expect this one will be the same, but ironically if they get through this round they might have an easier time next round.
Unfortunately it looked like only one team really showed up to play last night, and it was not the NYR.
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :
Give Florida some credit- they suffocated the rangers D. The forecheck was so very effective.
In reply to alfadriver :
Did they suffocate the Rangers because they're that good, or did they suffocate the Rangers because the Rangers were tired and beat up?
I'll say this: Bobrovsky looked sharp, and Tkachuk didn't get up to any bullE36 M3.
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :
Bobrovsky played amazing. My 15yo is a NYR and Shesty fan, and he commented on how Bob should get the playoff MVP if FL wins the cup 😳
I'm really rooting for an Oilers/Rangers final. I think it would be good for the game overall. I suspect I have the lineup exactly wrong, but I can hope.
In reply to Brett_Murphy (Agent of Chaos) :
As if Florida got off light against the bruins? N0, what I saw was good timing and aggressive forecheck. The rangers could not get out of the zone clean ever.

This is match up I want now that the 'Canes are out, too.
Florida fans might complain about the Trouba forearm to Rodrigues, but I have no sympathy for them when looking back at the Bennett sucker punch to Marchand.
