What happened to playoff beards?

I think if Adams can move several of our existing prospects for a piece that helps now, he should keep the pick. Clearing out prospects who are on the cusp of moving to the NHL roster and refilling the pipeline with someone who is years away from the pros makes more sense. The only way trading the pick makes sense is if the return is a clear-cut improvement to the roster filling a dire need. If he can't do that, and, instead, makes a trade to look like he's doing something, but the return is just another player who looks good on paper but doesn't do anything for the roster (see Bo Byram), then Adams needs to be fired.

Okposo is prolly having the time of his life right now.

Neither team played with the fire I was expecting. Maybe Sunday's game will be better.

Okay, I missed that it was goaltender interference. I thought maybe there were more, off-setting penalties.

14:44 left in the third, shots are 28 to 9 Florida.

The replays on that penalty were horrible. There was no way to see what the penalty was over. Well, at least the fans are pacified.

Oh my, maybe we'll see the fans jump the Panthers.

Get ready for a violent third period.

I mean, it was ERod, no need to get excited over that save.

Nope, Dallas wasn't going to let it happen again.

So ugly.

At least Mitts is out there representing by creating chances.

Colorado is utterly discombobulated right now.

At least the Rangers would inflict some real physical pain upon Dallas.

That was some p!ss poor defending on that goal. Come on, Avs, please prevent us these green jerseys from moving on. These TNT guys are Dallas homers.

Don't get too excited, he was actually encoding messages into his articles as an intermediary between the CIA and the Rothschilds.

You can say that again.

All I see is a bunch of these with hockey sticks.

And there you go.

As I watch the Rangers/Canes series I can't shake the impression that the Canes seem to be playing a less-inspired game than the Rangers. The Canes' body language reminds me somewhat of Toronto's.

A. That's all they have fundamentally. They will try and play an actual skill game, but once they start losing they'll turn back to goonery. B. Of course we'd want his head, that's how it works. I would like to see Frederic get his face handed to him on the back of a hockey stick blade - metaphorically, of course. C. The league may want it, though.
