Exceptional stretch pass / saucer pass in the Sens Bs game for a goal. Watch the highlights Bylsma feels vindicated ;)

Can Shattenkirk hit the net ? Keep the faith Millbank.

coaching ? youthful exuberance ? Not knowing any better ?

Listen I hate the leafs as much as anyone but they are fun to watch in these playoffs. Their rebuild is gaining experience in the postseason and they're ahead in finding a way to get into the postseason. Something we have yet to manage and in reality we might not be there next season either depending on how the chips fall. Their coach has them playing a style where they dictate play and never seem to let up in attacking the net. Our coach...yeah. Not too much. I'm really not sure how anyone can think we're somehow ahead.

Who knew Zack Hodgson would develop into this good a player ?

Kassian with another to put the oil ahead 1-0 with 9 minutes to play. Nice backhand after a turnover.

Harrington is the biggest douchebag. Well let me rephrase that. He's the worst I've read and I usually skip past his writing...Ahem, cough. Just checking your reading comprehension Mikey ;)

I've been called a dick before which is slightly better than a weenie. Kind of like a weenie with street cred so it was o.k. Millbank in the future could you call the guys dick ?

As we've seen in the past playoffs / regular season are two different animals in the eyes of the department of player safety. A better comparison would be Marchand only getting 3 games at seasons end on his 7th infraction to Risto getting 3 for a first time offence.

OK OK I get it. But TP has to back away from the sandwich. The closest him and Kim should come to hockey decisions is whether to watch the Leafs/Caps or the Bruins/Sens.

What it comes down to and the thing more should be concerned about is that its TPegs call. Murray needs to talk to TP sure I get that but Murray will not be making the call. Thats a problem just like TP scouting quarterbacks is a problem.

Draisaitls game transfers better to the playoffs whereas Sam would maybe wilt under the intense physicality

The only difference in Kassians game is he gets away with liberties in the playoffs whereas in the humdrum regular season they make those calls. Regular season the oil would be killing penalties every time Kassian took a shift playing like that.

I just realized how sexy Kim is :flirt:

Completely agree With you. Same for me. And for other players they need more coddling. Some need to be barked at and some need more of a stroking. Thats the problem with DD. He apparently doesn't know how to or want to forge relationships with his players. Every player is different and they should all be coached or mentored in a way that gets the best out of them. Not sure DD is capable of that from GMTMs presser. If not the quicker he's kicked to the curb the better. This is about developing and nurturing your players more than anything. Making them better people and better players. Good coaches do that.

Just the usual fighting over the remote kind of stuff

That is terrible. I've always wondered why busses have no seat belts. A few of those 13 prolly would have survived that one.

Oilers are fun

You betcha

I do worry about people driving and texting.

I like the way Murray handled the press. I thought he was a straight shooter like he mostly has been and like that he was willing to take his share of the blame. Like how he handled the Kulikov questions and said he would shoulder the blame for how that trade turned out and for how Kulikovs season went. Wouldn't lay any of the blame at the feet of the player.

Ferme la bouche ?

Thanks for that. Great avatar.

That one brought a tear to my eye. Kid has spirit.

Right there with ya. :thumbsup:
