And I would never have thought that. But I agree with you now. They didn't really gain much with Hamonic.

I don't understand what's happening on this powerplay. What are all these dangerous chances and quick puck movement?

Is that allowed?

Are you a homer if you spend much of your day telling many of the team's fans how stupid they are?

I'd say Stone replaced Engelland and did so admirably. Physical with a better shot. Suggesting Hamonic wasn't an upgrade over Engelland is odd. Different player and situation entirely, and after a slow start, Hamonic was an extremely steady 2nd pairing d-man for us this year. His price was high but I think we'll get some good hockey out of him the next few seasons.

Is Elliott the reason Flyers got lit up? Poor lil guy just can't get the job done when it counts.

It really doesn’t seem very sporting to move the puck quickly and shoot it before the other team gets to get in the way.

Also should have guys on their strong side so the puck never comes from the middle of the ice and there are no one timers.

Amateurs.

Kings are trailing but this really feels like a Kings kind of game they tend to win in the playoffs.

Odd huh? I guess that is one way to have a debate with someone.

Hamonic being younger is a huge advantage but Engelland was under appreciated. You'd never trade one for the other but in terms of on ice play over the last season, I didn't see Hamonic as a huge upgrade.

Anyone else watching on Sportsnet Now and seeing only SNO and all times in EST? It wasn't always like this.

Yes odd. Didn't know that would be such a dagger. One is an older physical bottom pairing d-man and the other is a top 3 premier shut-down defender. I think there's a pretty big difference between the two.

You could really do with letting go of your anger based on our previous conversations. The way you seem to continue to bring me up and thank posts talking to me is starting to get equally odd. You're welcome to use the ignore feature if you find me so troublesome.

Agreed, I'd rather a divisional rival doesn't do well so I'm also hoping LA wins

I didn't mind LA when they had Sutter and Reggie... but now I feel nothing. Even with the Dion.

If there was a way they could both eliminate each other in the first round I'd be all for it.

Do you remember when super Mario ate the mushroom he would get bigger and faster?

Every Golden Knight feels that way right now.

Wow, Dustin Brown doesn't even wear an A on his jersey anymore? That's rough.

I don't know what language that was, but that announcer was real obnoxious.

Good on 'em.
Leaving Vegas as the only current franchise never to have won a playoff game - what a bunch of losers.
