Long review but it counts.

3-2 Florida with 11 minutes left.

There's been 2 reviews already, and as Barkov scores they were considering reviewing that one too for goalie interference. I wonder how bad this review thing is going to get in the playoffs.

[AC]

Ha, Barkov now scores in another possible interference play but both teams have lost their time outs so its a goal regardless now.

It looks like the Lightning missed Stamkos.

Brodziak ties it for the Blues with a shorthanded goal 88 seconds into the third period, 2-2 now.

Canucks down 1-0 already

This is so stupid, it was a questionable call and the refs should have just reviewed it. They're acting like video review didn't exist before the challenge.

I don't think it should have counted.

Panthers hang on to win 4-3. The Leafs will almost definitely be a bad team again next year, but they're gonna score quite a few goals in the process.

Panthers set a new franchise record for points in a season with 99 points.

[AC]

Tarasenko does it all by himself to put St Louis up 3-2.

No idea how to embed this gif, but here's the beautiful Kampfer hip check.

Goodbranson is a beast of a human. That's the kind of guy the flames need, the kid can play.

In 20 years. That's pathetic.

He lumbers a little in terms of skating now and then, but he does so many good things out there. He really overpowers guys without being cheap, and is pretty sharp in terms of penalty killing an defensive coverage. I'd love him on the Flames. I'd probably take just about any of the Panthers defensemen on the Flames. Petrovic is pretty dang good too.

Here's a couple of my favorite Gudbranson moments this year:

[mdubz]

Etem ties it up. 1-1 after the 1st.

[Galakanokis]

Sparse crowd in van tonight, not a huge surprise I guess.

The scoreboard is acting up, Benning is freaking out. Wonder if it is a good time to tell him support is dead as of June and parts will be stopped in another year after that. They want to stretch this 10 year old scoreboard another 10 years without support. Good luck with that.

I'm gonna have to start watching some more Florida games. Barkov keeps getting all this praise for his '200 foot game,' people on HF rank him with Kopitar and Bergeron for his defensive abilities, but I went digging through the stats and I can't find anywhere he ranks significantly above Monahan. CF% is basically identical, CF%Rel almost the same (Monahan is better), Shots Against 60 is again almost identical. Really, the only major difference I found is Zone Starts, and Zone Starts is a bunk stat. It's worse than +/- IMO.

I'm gonna have to see what the eye-test tells me about how this kid plays.

Etem's goal with 13 seconds left in the first period. Toffoli's goal was from a rebound that Miller did not see.

If you do find flaws in his game, just keep in mind that he's only 20 years old. IMO, he already plays near the level of those comparable players you mentioned, and he's many years younger.

I know it is not popular around here, and a little ot, Is anyone else watching the Women's Worlds. Pretty entertaining 1st.

[Enoch Root]

great first period
