The Canes are truly unlikable team. Lots of cheap crap after the whistle. Both the Canes and Panthers are truly detestable teams, stickwork, cheapshots, after the whistle scrums, and whining by their head coaches. They're both very good as well.

So it looks like the adjustments the Stars made in between periods had gotten through.

Sergachov returns and Tampa extends the series. Tampa looks like a totally different team tonight. Yeah, Tampa, the Isles, and the Stars all dug in their heels and reversed the momentum for a night, at least. Let's expect that kind of pushback from the Leafs in Game 5.

I bet you're missing the west coast on that front...one of my favorite things about the mountain time zone is being able to stay awake for games. Dallas was outstanding in that game. Dominant. Thompson was unreal. Could've been a 6-1 game.

Avs track team skating circles around the Jets and peppering the pending Vezina winner into submission….
So much for regular season dominance by the Jets….

The thing with LTIR use as a way of trading for players at the deadline and being able to fit them under the cap is this, the league would look into it. I can't believe a team at the pro level would be allowed to just pick a player with a high cap hit and make up an injury, the NHL wouldn't allow it, medical records would have to be produced. Where it gets sketchy and there's no way to prove otherwise is recovery time, that's a gray area for sure. How can the league prove a player is ready before the team says he is. As far as Stone's injury, recovery time for a lacerated spleen is between 2 to 3 months, Stone going on LTIR Feb 20th, playoffs started April 20th, so that's 2 months which is in the recovery time spectrum. We can hate it all we want but it's by the rules of the NHL. Can the league come out and say , no way Vegas Stone was ready a week earlier!! I doubt it. Stone is a bad example because the injury is so unusual. But it's the gray area where you know teams are going to choose what works best for them. Say Stone's injury was a knee. Recovery could be 2-4 months. Even if the playoffs started three months into that recovery, there's every reason to believe (how often do pros need the full time?) that he would be good to go before the end of the season, but will be held out to allow for the team to use his cap hit elsewhere. But the main issue is why can you leverage an injury to ice a lineup that is $20M over the cap on an annualized basis in the playiffs? Why? Problem number one is that the trade deadline allows you to ice a team waaaaaay over the cap if you have the cap space to pay their remaining salary. No one wants to get rid of that, and that makes it very difficult ti conceptualize the separate problem with LTIR. I have thought of a lot of things that would make sense - but the more I thought about them the less sensible they got. I think the only thing that makes sense for me is that you can't play both the guy you acquired through LTIR AND the guys they repkaced in the same game. You can keep both on the roster but they can't play in the same playoff game.

It tells you about the issue between teams that depend on an elite goalie and teams that play elite team D in front of an elite goalie. Jets will never get it.

Rags already up by 1 on a terrible giveaway.
Caps have no business being in the playoffs.

VanCity end it quickly in OT. Preds had played a great game but let the Nucks creep back in. Tied with 8 seconds left. This is gonna hurt.

And that’s it for the caps. Waste of a playoff spot I don't think any of the other teams that were in the mix would have beat the Rags either but they certainly might have give them a better fight. Charlie Lindgren's bubble burst, he was admirable though even getting the caps into the playoffs in the first place.

Rangers taking care of business like a good team should. Washington needs to figure out what they are, past the point of being able to get anything for Ovechkin, he's done.

Charlie Lindgren's bubble burst, he was admirable though even getting the caps into the playoffs in the first place. And "the greatest goal scorer of all time" comes up zeroes across the board and was a complete non-factor. Not saying the Rags didn't earn it but they literally didn't even break a sweat. Sad.

I think the only thing that makes sense for me is that you can't play both the guy you acquired through LTIR AND the guys they repkaced in the same game. You can keep both on the roster but they can't play in the same playoff game. Mark Stone is a prime example of the problem with LTIR. If the injury was in November, 2 to 4 months would have not given Vegas a chance to add to the roster at the TDL. Other teams have to comply if the injury occurs earlier in the year. It is not equitable. Further more medical prognostications really can not be challenged as the NHLPA would certainly defend the right of the injured player to be given more time to "heal". Vaguery on who can challenge a medical determination. Once again the best way to solve the issue is to make the team Cap compliant before each game in the playoffs.
