three goals from defencemen tonight

It's 115 degrees in Las Vegas tonight -- the hottest game-time temperature in @NHL history, per an announcement inside @TMobileArena. @GoldenKnights @NHLNetwork

hottest gametime temperature SO FAR

i was posting on another hockey forum because i think posting here last time was bad juju.

price was on fire, the puck dropped perfectly most of the time for the habs, and they seemed in control for a good portion of the game.

the pietrangelo goal was a fluke. it went right through three players. the knights have killer momentum, though, but the habs d kept up.

also, happy birthday to juice. i love listening to his analyses.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

i don’t at all mind cory perry bleeding per se, but it’s the NHL in a fucking nutshell that all four officials ‘miss’ that but god forbid the puck goes over the glass

Pesky Isles. Pelech & Pulock are lifesavers.

Chris Lee with a front row seat to Brayden McNabb punching Nick Suzuki in the face. Nothing.

I don't see how the NHL can continue trotting these two guys out. IT IS THE THIRD ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS.

What is even happening with the islanders right now

Sure seems like the worst game they’ve played under Trotz.

it's one game; shake it off

Point is on a incredible run.

wow

Rude

photoshop

lol

ffs braden point

OMG

that photoshopped image is in bad taste. there's a certain type of team that would do that. the la kings are one of those teams, as well.

i don't particularly care who celine dion supports, but there's something kind of evil for wanting to give the appearance of your own people turning against you, for lack of a better phrase. yes, i know dion wore a knights sweater when performing in vegas, but that's what entertainers do for fun, so that's different.

the kings did the same thing when they said "you're welcome" to the "rest of canada" for beating the canucks.

sorry, this is probably just a pet peeve of mine.

also, stoked the isles won this one. both series have been so intense and fun to watch.

Pandemonium

Wow Habs

Bonne St-Jean!

I can't believe it

it would be so awesome if price gets a cup

that's a beautiful face right there

If the Isles pull it out it will be quite the underdog final. Pretty sure no one had that in their bracket.

Shows how the regular season is useless.

Habs were 24 and 32 and goal differential of -9.

They managed to outshot the opponent 4 times out of 17 games (includes one tie).

This is the 1999 Sabres.

yeah habs had fewer points in the regular season this year than the rangers and the stars. 18th in the league overall, I think

i am a habs fan and i cannot understand this at all except through the lens of "dom ducharme's system really did take a certain amount of time for the players to integrate into their play."

nah, Carey Price is Jesus and that's about it.

danault and kotkaniemi are pretty damn good

If it’s against Tampa I hope they win, fwiw.

anyway 2021 habs >>> 1991 north stars
