Didn't see one, so figured with the season starting tonight, we better get one going.

Anyone have any bold predictions? I think mine might be that the Wild make the Western Conference Finals.

Leafs are probably going all the way.

Could be, might be. It's only been 20 years.

50+ Since they've gone all the way. **** yeah!!! I thought it was over at 4-1. If the Leafs fight back, they get suspended. But, somehow, they pulled it off.

Not a great hit there, Cale.

Megatron96 · 04-24-2023, 09:17 PM

Man, I miss Pietrangelo.

Pretty goal by LVK.

Megatron96 · 04-24-2023, 09:20 PM

LV is actually pretty good.

Fish · 04-24-2023, 10:03 PM

Mikko!! Tie game!

Megatron96 · 04-24-2023, 10:19 PM

These are some good games.

Fish · 04-24-2023, 11:03 PM

That was a pretty intense period.

Go Avs. Finish this!

**Bearcat** · 04-25-2023, 04:59 AM

Womp, womp. Guess it wasn't the worst thing to miss the first 9 minutes of that game, but would be nice if the NHL wasn't so freakin' stupid and would choose the 7/10 double header instead of 7:30/10.

The Kraken were everywhere, they were really buzzing most of the game.

**DaFace** · 04-25-2023, 08:43 AM

So Makar will have a hearing today for the hit on McCann. I'm not entirely surprised, but I wonder how many times a play 1) wasn't been called a penalty initially, 2) was elevated to a major after the refs talk about it, 3) was reduced to a minor after review, and 4) the player gets suspended for it.

It'll be brutal if he's suspended, but I guess we'll see. From what I can tell watching the replay, Makar (and the refs) thought the puck was still in play while McCann knew it was out. The hit itself wasn't that bad, but McCann wasn't ready to defend himself. It's absolutely, 100% interference, but I'll be a little frustrated if it turns into a suspension.

But whatever. It's just the norm this year for the Avs to be missing half of their best players.

The drama is nuts, people are so hyper sensitive over shit like that.

Makar isn't a dirty player. Makar screwed up.

Yet, apparently some Avs fans are dying on the hill that it was a clean hit and so on and so forth... I missed the hit and watched it later (thanks Leafs!), but thought it was going to be worse, for as long as they were talking about it.

Sucks McCann got hurt, but yeah would be a bit extreme if they suspended him for it... sadly, wouldn't be all that surprising given how inconsistent they are every season.

**Bearcat** · 04-25-2023, 12:17 PM

Suspended one game.

I'm not gonna complain too much. It was definitely an illegal hit that caused an injury.

I still just don't understand how it was reduced to a minor in the first place.
