Tough loss to take, but those overtime periods were incredible.

sort of off-topic... but World Championships started today. Canada beat USA 5-1. both have relatively young teams but I'd say that those 2, Finland & maybe Russia are the best 4 teams in this tournament...

Patrik Laine with 2 goals & an assist in the first game so far (Finland vs. Belarus though)

I think there's just too much pressure to just pick Matthews since they don't have a legit 1st line center either... but Laine's shot alone is something truly amazing... Only way I see them maybe (still not likely) picking Laine is that if Laine continues to beast in the World Championships and Matthews does basically nothing... but even then I almost feel like they're gonna go with Matthews.

oh & Laine was the MVP of Finnish league's playoffs (10 goals in 18 games) & turned 18 during the playoffs...


Add the fact that in the last ISS ranking they ranked Puljujarvi ahead of Laine :jbhmm::whew:

the top 3 of this draft is just :blessed::blessed:

A lake near Tampa FL
Islanders gave up a Game Winning goal damn near as soon as the O/T period started :martin:

Decided to watch this Islanders game off the strength of that Coli poster that went viral due to calling Hockey "lit" on twitter and I live in NY so why not become a bandwagon Islanders fan :lolbron:


After it was Obvious Cavs secured the win in there game I switched over to the Isles game shortly thereafter Tampa tied it up :francis: then we lost like seconds into the O/T period and we are down three games to one :sadcam:

Another Hall/seguin in my mind or ovechkin/Malkin. People always say take the center man but laine looks so good. Winnipeg counting their lucky stars.

Leafs have marner, nylander, van reimsdyk, on the wings so Matthews at cenntee, but I have a feeling it's going to bite us in the ass

Matthews dominated that swiss team he was on with washed up nhlers. Very interesting
