David Puddy

Looks like a good no-call from this view.

Oh yeah. This is going to be treated like the Brett Hull skate in the crease. Rangers fans will NEVER let go of puck-over-glass-gate. CONSPIRACY NHL IS AGAINST THE RANGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently Bylsma has now been fired. https://twitter.com/LouisJean_TVA/status/474952602992406528

New shirt idea: "I may live in the USA, but I'm always in Taliban country"

LGK!

Habs in 5.

Nothing like seeing "HENRIK! HENRIK!" for two days straight...

I would take them out of my newsfeed, but they are you know, actually friends of mine. For some reason posts from the during game were STILL showing up in my newsfeed today.

The Facebook posts are killing me. I don't need a damned play-by-play of the game. They might even be worse than football fans.

Thanks for showing up, Pittsburgh.

I'd give better odds for Detroit losing all 3 than Columbus. But it's all moot unless the Devils put together a 3 game win streak, which has only happened once this year (how sad is that?).

No, but it would mean we'd have to win every remaining game and CBJ could get at most 1 point.

That's not the rule that should be applied. A different part of that rule (78.5) also says a goal should be disallowed "(v) When an attacking player has interfered with a goalkeeper in his goal crease." Also see 69.1, the goalie interference rule.

At some point, advanced stats advocates need to realize that what they write off as "luck" is a failure to accurately model what it takes to win a hockey game.

Why are we worrying about Toronto? Unless Tampa Bay goes on a tear, Toronto and Montreal have the 2/3 Atlantic spots locked up; no chance to compete with them. Edit: Eh, I take that back. Any of Toronto, Tampa, or Montreal collapsing helps us.

Looks like CBJ has this one... 4-1. Canes up 3-1 with under 3:00 to go.

Realistically we don't have to worry about losing a tiebreaker to Detroit, Washington, or Ottawa unless the Devils start miraculously winning shootout games. With everyone else, it's too close to waste time speculating this far out. Our odds improve if at least one of Tampa, NY, or Philly collapses. That would put both wildcard spots and/or 3rd place in the division in contention. Tampa could easily fall out of contention by the end of the month (if the Devils beat them and they lose to non-bubble teams like Boston, Phoenix, Florida, Vancouver, Toronto, Pittsburgh, etc.).

Detroit and Columbus would still be ahead of us due to fewer games played. Ignoring that, the Devils would be above Detroit because of ROW. We'd be tied with Columbus in ROW, but they'd be ahead of us due to points earned in head-to-head games. Not worth really fretting over tiebreakers with so many games to play.

There doesn't seem to be much correlation between draft success and winning the cup at a quick glance, but 6 of the last 7 cups were won by teams in the top half of the list. It's a lot easier to build a team when you don't have to give up assets to fill your NHL roster.

I assume the third rounder (conditional) kicks in only if they don't re-sign him.
