Take the Bruins off the grill, they're done.

Palmieri is a playoffs kind of guy, it turns out.

I miss the days when they would outspend everyone and still suck. After they won the Cup -- actually in the years after they signed Gretzky -- it was one bad signing after another in the late 90s and early 2000s. Glorious.

I don't know the ins and outs of the NBA, but I agree that without a cap, you need to give teams greater control of players.

We won championships without the cap. And the Pirates would do better if they could develop pitching like the Rays and the Royals (in past years).

I'm a BC graduate and I don't like most of 'em either.

I don't care about cap circumvention either, quite honestly. I wish every team would do it. I hate that cap.

Wild, wild overtime. Great game overall. I thought Palmieri and Zajac played well. They played together nearly the whole game.

Didn't they bow out to us one year (2000?), managing a whopping SIX shots on goal? Am I remembering that correctly?

One hell of a period by the Islanders.

I don't think it's THAT hot of a take. If someone wants to put Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall, Dominik Hasek, Patrick Roy, and Terry Sawchuk over Brodeur, it's not that big of a slight. If he says he's not top 10, then I have a problem!

Jarry's gotta sit now ..... oh man, I didn't realize that DeSmith is unavailable.

he's got an assist though!

Zajac is playing tonight, I'm not sure who is sitting to make room for him. Palmieri with a goal to tie the score at 2-2. Jeff Carter continues to play great. Entertaining game so far.

it's a tie. I love Roy's Statue of Liberty gaffe.

oh, easily!

Big goalie turnover and Josh Bailey makes the Pens pay.

I look at that Oilers team and conclude that they need to resurrect Esa Tikkanen. Isles hanging by a thread on that last shift.

I guess it's fun to dream a little dream. But it's not so easy to build a team that can win it all. The Jets are badly exposing the Oilers, who need their depth players to step up. Their old goalie, who has had a good season, has been outplayed, too.

He's incredible, but look at what Winnipeg is doing to him in the playoffs. If we emptied the cupboard for McDavid, that's what we would have to look forward to .... missing the playoffs and getting shut down when we do make it. Even a team with Connor McDavid needs a second line (and/or third line) putting pucks in the net. Look at what having Taylor Hall means to the Bruins so far.

You're right, it was dumb and dangerous. My pity is that he has to live with the consequences ... likely burying his team because of a bad choice. I felt bad for Steve Bernier, too. Not right when it happened though!

He was on the ice for the OT goal, too, if I recall correctly. I felt bad for the guy because that terrible penalty he took on that low-bridge hit turned the whole game around for Winnipeg.

Not a chance. It's not how to build a team. That's clown shoes all the way.

Can someone clone Brad Marchand and make him available in the draft when it's our turn to pick?

The playoff series in our division have been about as good as it gets, so far.
