The older I get the more I feel like I'm going to end up being one of those people who never has a career, but instead ends up doing something different every 5-10 years until, by the time I'm 70, I've earned the distinction of being "eccentric".

Hoooooly crap. Gonna need Kanye to come in here and defend this.

O'Reilly for Subban (e4)

Winnipeg is hitting Vegas. About time someone did.

I don't understand why people go to Disney when they don't have kids.

Yes, but Randall is replying to comments suggesting that taking Rinne is actually a bad idea.

Duh. But that's not the conversation.

Sure, but one year at 7 mil is totally acceptable if the goal is to platoon with Ullmark for a year.

Winnipeg is a team that has been working at this and earned it. They've been tough to play against for years and they're finally getting their due.

Every Tampa game I've watched this post season has been a bore.

Really looking forward to the Jets/Knights series. Couldn't care less about Washington/Tampa.

It's also BS to ask me to give a crap about what he did in Montreal. They didn't have any problem moving on from him. Same with NJ. Who willingly jettisons that good of a leader? That's exactly what I want. A Stanley Cup vet who knows when buttons need to be pushed and doesn't care who's buttons they are. Not some lackey for the administration. Maybe a real locker room leader gets the kids to rally around him and gets Bylsma fired sooner? Maybe a real locker room leader is standing in Terry Pegula's office going "hey, our GM is completely out to lunch. This team is a mess." Gionta will forever be attached to Bylsma for me. Feckless.

How many Cups did they win?

Game 7 is the only elimination game I want at home. If Game 6 is a game that could eliminate us I want it on the road.

Gio was fighting to get people to go along with a known dumpster fire coach. He was the errand boy of Disco Dan. If he had any leadership cred it was immediately lost when he left his teammates behind to follow Don Quixote into the void. That said, I don't think he had any leadership cred. He was just a vet. Big whoop. No standing in a locker room full of young players who needed someone who actually had some. I do think the team needed better veteran leadership during the tank and the aftermath. But I don't think all the leadership in the world was going to fix the mess that GMTM and Bylsma made. Those two dopes needed a leader too.

I think he just goes out there and eats minutes because that's what he feels like doing. He's talented enough to do that. He's also talented enough to do more.

I hope Knights Jets is a bloodbath

I think they're already growing out of it. Jack was a more mature player this year. Sam figured it out as the season went on. Risto is a work ethic issue. He doesn't like to be coached. I'm not sure if that's correctable and explains why his game hasn't continued to develop. He's the same, but he could be better.

I've never been a huge Rinne fan. He's been wildly inconsistent. Saros might struggle with increased workload but who knows. Goalies are goalies. Never overpay them lol

Nope. Don't be surprised if simple maturity is one of the biggest contributors to the team getting better.

He's had some clunkers in this series but he's outplaying Rinne and Saros when it counts.

Sam and Jack weren't really doing themselves any favors, at least not initially. Risto.

Right. I'm saying he was definitely a problem. I guess I should qualify it with "per a source". He also isn't/wasn't the only one.
