For the first time since the NHL put a franchise in Detroit in 1926, the four U.S.-based "Original Six" teams - Detroit, Chicago, Boston, NYRangers - will all miss the playoffs in the same season.
Wild. Are a pt vs the ducks. Or a blues/flames losing any of their remaining 3 combined games from getting in.
Normally a WC spot at the final hour is pretty blah. But very pumped about this season.
Everything was building towards next year and beyond with all the controllable talent plus the massive contracts of Parise and Suter finally being off the books.
This year was all gravy. And doing it with so many injuries is even more incredible. Probably get pasted 4-0 or maybe gentleman sweep in round 1. But idc.

The OT was almost anticlimactic after Winnipeg's incredible comeback in regulation.
My favorite part of a playoff hockey game is the last 2 minutes of a 1-goal game, when the team ahead is desperately trying to hold its lead and the opponent is desperately trying to score.
After last night, I guess that can apply to a 2-goal game, too!

3 of the 8 remaining teams are Canadian. If one of them win, its city gets to be the capitol of our 51st state.

I agree. In OT, neither team wants to make a mistake, whereas when one team is down in the waning minutes of regulation, it's an all-out blitz by the team trailing. Just last month, Vancouver scored three goals in the last minute to beat Dallas.
I like your idea too. I would imagine Donnie is cheering for Edmonton in that scenario, considering Alberta has been called "The Texas of Canada."
Florida's Bennett should get suspended for elbowing Toronto's goalie in the head.

Best of the mediocre options. Utah Hockey Club would have been beyond lame. Utah Wasatch was one of the worst name options I ever heard, and then replacing it with Utah Outlaws was just generic. Colorado Mammoth are already a lacrosse team in Denver, so its not as totally unique, but its a good logo and the color scheme is cool with it.
Was personally hoping for Utah Yetis, that would have been dope. Nonetheless, better than the Vegas Golden Knights, not as good as the Seattle Kraken.

That was the route they were going to take, but the US Patent and Trademark Office denied their application. Apparently, people would confuse a hockey team with Yeti coolers and the company refused to consider a co-existance agreement.
I was wondering why not the plural (or if "Mammoth" was the plural like "Moose"), but the teams said they chose "Mammoth" rather than "Mammoths" because "it symbolizes one team, all-in and all of Utah." The logo and colors are excellent.
I still wish Seattle had gone with the Sockeyes instead of Kraken.

fully agree, but the trademark they have is particularly strong when it comes to the simple use of "Yeti." Apparently, the biggest issue was on apparel, as Yeti had already applied to sell gear with "Yeti" on it.

I don't know that they could have won - appellate judges tend to give the regulatory agency lots of discretion - but even if they could have, the appeals process takes on average 15 months. Not sure the team really wanted to go another year-plus without a name on outside chance they win the appeal. The more likely outcome would be they lose - because most appeals fail - and they're back where they started.

Florida's winning goal went in off of a Toronto defenseman's hip. It was one of at least 4 goals in the game to go in off of an opposing player.
I've been asked why there are so many more playoff upsets in the NHL than in the NBA. It's because so much luck comes into play in hockey.
I'm confident in saying that in the history of the NBA, there never has been a game-winning basket that went off of an opponent's hip.

Its one of the cruelest aspects of hockey. My alma mater, Miami, lost in the NCAA Championship about a decade ago in OT. The game tying goal with less than 30 seconds left deflected off a defender's skate and in off the post. The game winner in OT bounced off another attacker's thigh and literally BLOOPED up and over the shoulder of the goalie. No more cruel way to lose than watch a puck flutter in the air but everyone's momentum renders them useless to knock it down and the goalie moving down into a crouch watches it float over his shoulder. Just gross...but exhilarating if it goes your way. That's why you're coached from a young age to just get pucks on net no matter how you do it.

I thought it was beyond the pale that Carney signed an executive order to rename Montana "South Saskatchewan."
Here was an "X" exchange Sunday between Florida Panthers vice chairman Doug Cifu and a Maple Leafs fan who calls himself Dr. Grizzo - one that led to Cifu getting suspended by the NHL:
(From espn.com)
Grizzo's original post: "Hey, what's worse, using headshots to win a series or using starvation as a weapon to win a war?"
Cifu response: "Actually being a whiny dope anti-semite is clearly worse. Loser."
Grizzo: "Not approving of using starvation as a weapon makes me a bigot?" He then added comments about Cifu's stock market prowess and political leanings.
Cifu: "Eat sh!t 51st state anti-semite loser. Israel now and forever. Until ever last Hamas rat is eliminated."

If they play the Panthers, then yes, go Canes. But, if it's Toronto, sorry, I want a Canadian team to make the finals and win it (and an all-Canada finals would be awesome) because of how it will trigger you know who! ;D ;D
The way the Canes play D reminds me of the mid-to-late-90s Devils and their neutral zone trap and Red Wings and the "left wing lock."

Seriously, how can a team with the resources of the Maple Leafs underperform like this for 50+ years? It's one thing if its a smaller Canadian market like Calgary or Ottawa, but even those two teams have made the Stanley Cup Finals this millenium.

Those teams have at least made it to the league championship series at least once since 1967. Toronto hasn't made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in nearly 60 years.
Their fans starting booing them. I'm also not sure that 4th goal shouldn't have counted. I can't recall a more brutal G5 and G7 on home ice. That 2nd period was complete domination from the Panthers.

Or, not. YIKES.
They can't possibly run it back next year with this group, can they? Can't trade Matthews, but letting Marner walk and/or dealing Nylander have got to be considerations. Tavares a free agent also, but they can probably keep him on a deep discount.
A couple of those fans need to be ejected.

Not a good start by Edmonton. They better wake up.
Kane is a freaking disaster. Killing his team. Just dumb penalties.
This has been an abysmal period for Edmonton and 🇨🇦.

I know we are in the era of the latest thing being "the best ever" but this series is certainly worthy of being in that discussion. 3 OT games in the first four, two of them tied up by the home team in the final 20 seconds and won by the road team. This needs to go to OT in game 7 with the home team winning.
