    Unload as in??? Tank? No. 

    Unload as in removing 5-6 pieces and trying to get different chemistry there? Yep. 

    Same with most teams who don’t make the playoffs or get bounced out of the 1st round.

    They had a subpar season and just got swept. Does management look at the team and think their run is over, or do they think next year might be a rebound year? Not saying they will consider getting rid of Crosby, and/or Malkin. But there are some pieces that can bring in a good return.

    So does Pittsburgh unload or keep on holding on to hope?

    I just read Tampa is the first team in NHL history to win the Presidents Trophy and get swept in the first round. Saying again, if Stamkos had a different nationality he'd be getting butchered by the talking heads. 

    He's been highly criticized for years for being a playoff choker. Not sure what nationality has anything to do about it.

    Cooper is not getting fired lol

    They've been notoriously soft in the playoffs for years. And to take the best team the league has seen in years, with the possibility of getting swept in the first round, by a team that barely made the playoffs............ I don't think it's unreasonable to consider the possibility he might be fired.

    But can they keep it up?

    There's a couple of series that I'm not sure can be upsets. I think we all know Tampa is done and Coops will be fired. But I think the Avs and Canes might stand a chance. I think the last game with the Caps was a fluke, but not so sure. They looked pretty bad. 

    Nice thing is, it's been an extremely fun first round. Not one I don't think we've seen in several years. Only two teams I'm rooting for are the Blues and Canes. But it should make for a killer second round if some of the top teams are knocked out.

    Does Nathan McKinnon have the best wrist shot in the game?

     

    I know Laine and OV may have the best one timers. 

    Matthews maybe? Eich has a good one, but accuracy isn't good enough 

    They might. But you can't rule out Eichel. He's in the top.

    Jones is so good.

    Tampa would be nuts to fire Cooper. I’d  fire our coach to sign him even if we just hired him two days before.

    They are notorious for blowing it in the playoffs, and they're doing it again. 

    If they can't at least make it to the Finals, would you want to hold on to him? 

    In my opinion, I'd take several guys before I took Cooper. But, that's just my opinion. ?

    I believe the #1 seed wins about 25% of the time (I looked it up a while ago).  It's like the lottery:  the team that finishes #1 has the greatest likelihood of winning it all, but there's still a statistical distribution.  I know when I lived in Detroit in the 1990s, there was a superstitious belief that even touching the President's Trophy was bad luck, so the players didn't even accept the trophy.  They posed with it, but wouldn't touch it.

    I forget, it's either 8 of the last 24 or 8 of the last 32 President's Trophy winners have gone on to win the Cup. 

    After seeing Tampa lose last night, I think it would be great to see Torts beat his old team.
