I'm happy the Kraken are in the playoffs and it's great to see the first goal, but I don't think the goaltending is going to hold up.
 
My family will be at first kraken home game.

wild released more tickets for Friday’s Dallas game so I scooped some up. I’m ready to be hurt ( and see suter get walloped)
 
Nice effort by the Wild last night. I see they've learned so much over the years from their first round exits. Taking games off is always a good idea come playoff time.

Fleury didn’t play well but he got no support either. Merril over gogo is puzzling.

Dallas was gonna come out rocking, and we were missing our top two centers - so I guess if MAF was gonna get a start, might as well have been last night. I’m glad they didn’t take him out- putting Gus bus in to get shelled was not a good idea in relief.

my neighbor has been MIA for two months, he’s gotta wake up
 
It’s not toughness, it’s a combination of a stupid, dangerous culture and a work environment with absurd expectations.

Hockey player stupid, dangerous culture and a work environment with absurd expectations. Morgan Barron didn’t even miss much of the series opener, getting cut by Vegas goalie Laurent Brossoit’s skate blade during a first-period scramble in front of the net. After going to the locker room, Barron returned a period later with more than 75 stitches and a full cage.

Fixed it.
 
There's a lot of youth hockey leagues up here and I believe that's where the 'get tough or go play soccer' mentality starts. There's different age divisions(Mini-mite starts 5-6)and as you get older you start playing and practicing more then you go home and watch the Bruins and want to emulate your fave player.
When I was in high school there was checking but it was only in the defensive zone. A guy I work with his son just started bantam hockey and that's when checking first starts. Anywhere on the ice. He said there's more that a few kids that shy away from checking but he showed me a few vids from his son's game and he has no problem laying into someone,all legal. never had a penalty called for one of his checks.
