That's funny, but also kind of weird. Now can we somehow factor in how much Ted Nolan is loved in Latvia?

Reputation for not getting along with GMs. Probably true. I think a GM afraid of losing his job might make the move but a GM who thinks he's safe might shy away.

lol, it was a good game. Pity they lost but I liked the effort level. Florida clearly had the more talented team but the Bruins gave it their all and it was a bounce away from going the other way. Can't really complain, even though I would have enjoyed a game 7. Really liked Geekie in the playoffs. We should have signed him as our 3C. Ullmark will be traded this off season. Marchand is pretty much done. Although in the long run Power is likely much better, at the moment I'd prefer Lohrei. Kid really stepped up. It will be an interesting off season for Beantown. I guess now I will join the local Canucks bandwagon for however long that lasts. The Bruins beat the Leafs though, and that was very satisfying.

It's character. Some guys want it, some are indifferent, or maybe just don't want it as much. Not willing to pay the price. Playoff games are harder, faster, more physical, more intense, and some players just don't want to give that extra effort as much as others. I think you can predict some of it by watching how they play in big games and at key moments but you are right in that size and skill don't always follow through.

It's very possible that Benson will be fine and better even. I'm just going by what you often see from young guys in the league and saying it wouldn't surprise me and if it happens I wouldn't over react to it. The term "sophomore slump" didn't come from nowhere. It happens.

Was a great night of hockey for me. Bruins sent packing, Casey sent packing and Chris Tanev, who played his college hockey at RIT is moving on. I don't care for Dallas, but it would be nice to see an RIT product win a cup.

Bummer of an outcome. And yes, Mitts didn’t have his best game tonight.

Start of double OT and I’m still here. The wife took the car home after the first OT. I’m getting a ride home from neighbors.

Me seeing the Stars get jobbed in a game 6 OT:

Mitts himself now looks hurt; he looked lame on the last shift he had in OT and looks hobbled.

Second Avs game in a row I noticed super short shifts for Mitts line. And tonight his line was pretty soft.

I don't think people realize just how horrible a job Granato and his staff did last season when you look at the other coaches who got sacked for poor results. All of the other guys essentially got sunk by terrible goaltending while Granato got very good goaltending with UPL playing close to Vezina level from January on. When you fail miserably with solid goaltending that's as inexcusable and awful a failure as possible. If there was an Anti-Jack Adams award he would deserve to win it unanimously.

Not looking for specific names or anything, but what does Joki and a prospect (preferably Östlund or Rosen) get us up front? Can we get a legit good middle 6 forward? Could adding a pick get us a legit good 3C?

What's Bryson going to cost? He was visibly better this season and has the advanced stats to prove it. I like him in the 6/7 slot for next season. Arguably RJ is good for this, but I think he might benefit with more ROC time.

I think you're looking up a horse's arse.

There's no conversation to be had. nfreeman has decreed that Bills social media is off limits. Paging George Carlin.

I would go for Pesce and Stephenson.

Panthers vs Rangers should be a good series. I probably root for Panthers. However, Shesterkin outplays Bobrovsky. Rangers in 6

Bruined!

Someone check in on @PerreaultForever 😉

Today was the worst day I’ve had in 3 years. When I saw the final score to the bruins game all the bad feelings of the day went away immediately Thank you hockey gods

Necas is supposed to be available and Pesce won't be going back to the canes.

Bruins elimination night is always a nice night.

A just victory.
