What a kickass night! We kicked Flyer ass, and Kris Letang set a new franchise record for most goals by a Penguins defenseman! Fuck yeah! Butthurt Flyers fans are whining all over Twitter that it’s only because the refs helped us. Waaaah.
He’ll find work, I’m sure. He was pretty good back when he played for the Pens – he was our captain in the early 80s.
Wow…my BLUES are back in the running! What an amazing turn around, beating league leading TampaBay then sweeping Nashville in the Home/Home series. I hope Binnington is for real.
I was at last nights game against the Devils and they looked HOT…Best addition to St Louis in a LONG time is Ryan O’Rielly! what a stand up two way player. Also #17 Schwartz’s drought is over! Yeah! Though his second goal of the game was overruled for goalie interference, a total Bullshit call.
So, the Islanders are going to play the first round of the playoffs in their old arena in Nassau but then any subsequent rounds in Brooklyn. An interesting compromise.
The Washington Capitals stunk it up against the Ducks. I’m sure they were looking right past the hapless Ducks and probably spent Saturday night out at the LA nightclubs.
Apparently no one. DSP cleared waivers, and is headed to Hershey.
And the complement to that move, the Caps fill DSP’s roster spot by trading two draft picks to the Kings for Carl Hagelin. The Kings will keep paying half his salary. I don’t know anything about the guy, but what little I’ve read seems to indicate he’s a faster and more athletic player than DSP, and a better scorer. Interestingly he seems to have a similar M.O. to DSP: is mostly just a warm body in the regular season, but goes into the playoffs set on kill.
