I have no real dog in the fight between Columbus and Washington, but I find the playoff futility of Washington comical. No matter what they do during the regular season it seems you can count on them to underachieve in the playoffs. Blowing 2-0 and 3-1 leads to lose twice at home is not easy to do. No team has ever won a series after losing the first two at home in overtime, and my guess is this Caps team ain't gonna be the one to reverse that reality. Ovechkin can play until he's a hundred and five years old. He is never going to win a Stanley Cup.

Not unless he gets a Ray Bourque Memorial Release and is moved to a non-choke team.

In his case I don't think it will matter. I think the hockey gods have decided that no matter what, Ovechkin's name is never going to be etched into Lord Stanley's cup.

Only thing I can think of is two former Wild players having great years there, and when the Wild were an expansion team, they weren’t given the same luxuries roster wise that Vegas was?

Also competing for players with Columbus didn't help their draft.


There seems to be a lot of youth over-achieving on the Vegas roster. Almost as if they went with straight analytics over the eyeball test.


Personally, I'm enjoying it and glad I jumped aboard their train at the start.

Some of it is luck, William Karlsson's sh% for instance. But for the most part they're a legit team that is well constructed and Gallant is a good coach who was doing well with FL for a brief stint.

Rumor Zach Parise broke his sternum. Feel like this would’ve broke by now if true, but if for some reason there’s fire where the smoke is, the Wild are done.

Welp, that didn’t take long to confirm. ****.

This is what I get for having tickets to tonight’s game. I’m bad luck in the playoffs :o

Come on, the sternum is hell of a long way from the hea... oh wait.
