Man, just saw NHL ad about it starting this week. I am beyond pumped.
Although pissed that Rangers-Hurricanes meet in first round.
Old Rangers fan and Canes fan since they started here in NC

I will not be watching but for those that want to I hope you enjoy.
All I can say is in the first round, or whatever ridiculous name they are giving this farce, Go Jets Go! After that I go whoever is playing the Oilers and Leafs.

After that I go whoever is playing the Oilers and Leafs. I find myself mostly siding with Scott here. Though a wee bit of me is intrigued, just a bit...we'll see I guess. I just like being out in nature so much this time of year, tough to commit watching, but I'll be following from afar I guess

I know its a weird season and all that but its fuckin AWESOME!

I might have changed my tune if my team (Flames) were better and actually had a shot, although I doubt because I think them trying to jam in a season in the middle of a pandemic solely for money is pretty disgusting to see, but really my preferred outcome for the play-offs is for the Flames to lose in the preliminary round and then win the stupid draft lottery the NHL set up and get Lafreniere.
I will also say them picking Edmonton as a hub site made it that much easier to have less interest. So now my province gets put at much higher risk of an out break all so the losers in that City can act as though it isn't the worst place in the world. I know many of you are in the states so may not know much about Edmonton but in all honesty it is the worst place in the world with the worst scum of the earth making up its population.
Anyways I hope those that are watching it are enjoying it, I have a hard time supporting something so reckless as this and I am not sure I will return to the NHL even next year seeing how little they care about humanity, but we will see time likely makes me forget how awful the NHL is and I will probably crawl back like a spineless worm when bored next January.

If the players wanted to opt out they could to protect their families.

O negative tests reported, not necessarily 0 negative tests.

I still remember the epic Caps-Isles game, must have been in the 80s as a kid where Kelly Hrudey had about a thousand saves after 3 or 4 OTs (memory not the best lol) - anyway, not the longest game of all time, but longest I watched start to finish.

Though I thought I wouldn't, NHL Flames admittedly sucked me in a little...but last night was pure exhibition of why I wasn't pumped...
Damn them!
Really sucks that Stars targetted Tkachuck and took him out early in the series. Besides final 2 periods last night it was a close series and he could have been the difference...not that I had illusions of anything beyond the first round, mind you...

Vancouver has looked REALLY good. Vegas/Canucks should be a good 2nd round series. Starts/Avalanche series will have a lot of goals.

Disappointed to see that the Flames didn't get Lafraniere and went out in the 1st round anyways.
But not surprised as I realized long ago that Chris has taken all the luck for the Calgary Flames organization to his team in the JGHL leaving my beloved NHL Flames screwed!!!

What are the chances of the Flower playing one more game for Vegas in theses playoffs? With the picture that his agent posted, I think the chances are slim, and looks like they could be headed for a possible nasty divorce in the off-season. Any thought?
