2023-24 NHL Season Thread.

That's pretty standard in any playoffs, penalties become less and less as they progress.


Also, I'm cheering for the Sharks cause if they go to the Stanley Cup we get a 1st round pick from them for Evander Kane.

I hope you like your 10 million dollar injury liability

Holy shit Winnipeg decided to wake up in the 2nd.

Also that Wilson hit looked like shoulder-shoulder to me, with the head hit coming in the follow-through. Kid got absolutely rocked by a clean hit.

[jackofwind]

His right skate left the ice right before the hit. I’m slightly biased by being a Caps fan, but I still didn’t like the replays.

It was still a big win for the Caps tonight.

Ovie delivered, that was a beautiful go ahead goal.

[Rennadrel]

Fuck you! The Sabres were once good, and will be again. And he has a hall of fame defenseman who'll be his coach.

Buffalo hasn't been good ever. No Cups except in a movie!

Oof two predators getting nailed with pucks within a couple seconds of each other.

Sounds like he has a broken jaw.

We were robbed in 99. Hull's skate was in the crease!

[Nazrark]

Down 3-0 after the first was tough to swallow. I’ve seen them come back and win from that before. But damn was that exciting to watch.

[jackofwind]

Wilson is set to meet with the NHL about the hit last night. I guess we’ll see what happens.

How often do players get in-person hearings that result in no suspension? I can't remember a time where a hearing resulted in no missed games but I'm sure it's possible.

Seems to me he's probably going to get at least one game even though I thought the hit was clean.

[Nazrark]

Yeah, but with the resulting injury being so severe, in combination with public perception after two games where he had two “questionable” hits, I fear they may give him more.

There is a reason Big Buff doesn't hit as hard as he used to anymore. Since he is so big and his hits look so devastating to the opposing player. It looks bad on the ice. So he get penalized for it. It's been documented by Maurice saying that Buff pulls on his hits now. Wilson might have to start doing the same.

[Nazrark]

Someone needs to go out there and dummy Marchand. You let the guy lick you in the face. Drop you gloves and start punching him. There is only way he learns not to do something. Take him to task for it.

[Armourboy]

Well 2-2 heading back to Nashville tonight. As my momma used to say, this is going to be a slobberknocker!

Marchand is a guy who should be punched in every game.

[draynay]

At least he's not biting people...

[Armourboy]

At least he's not biting people...

Yet.........

[Nazrark]

Yet.........

I thought he has bitten someone at some point.

[Armourboy]

I'm disgusted, and I'm not talking about Marchand.

About how your team played or how the arena looked like a ghost town halfway through the third.

How they played. I don't blame the fans really. If the guys hadn't quit maybe you could.

Plus it was a late start and a huge chunk of those people will be getting up to go to church in the morning.

Other than having defense, I think that's the biggest deference between Nashville and Toronto. I see people who went to church late and left early. I also absolutely blame everyone who leaves a game early in the playoffs.

Fuckers probably didn't even have to sell any limbs and organs to get their tickets.
