Friedman announced during the MTL/TOR game that the Oil has all but ruled Ekholm out for the rest of this season. Big loss.

Too bad for BU. Western Michigan will take home the Frozen Four National Championship. Sucks for BU.

Not to wish injury on someone but this will really hurt the Oilers. More ice time for Nurse LOL.

WTF are you talking about?
Slu-Kings-Sky is going to backstop the team to the title.

WTF are you talking about?
Just saying. I like Slukynsky but when it comes to college hockey teams, I show a little bias for Boston-area teams. I tend to pull for NU a bit.

I was just messing with ya
. I'm glad to see Hammer get the title. Rowe conceded the net and Slukynsky's played great down the stretch.

Anyone heard any leaks on the playoff schedule? I have a feeling game 1 will be 4/19 at 10pm EST/7pm PST. Reason is that HNIC likes to have a late game and there are no other Canadien teams that would be playing in the MST or PST time zone. 9pm local time would be too late for Winnipeg.

As shaky as Edm seems right now I wonder if Vegas might wish they let us win the division?

Boooooo. Deadmonton just beat Winnipeg 4-1. Winnipeg was supposed to be the best team in the WC this season and though they beat Deadmonton twice earlier, they put up a stinker and dropped their game against Deadmonton this time. Thanks for nothing, Loserpeg. Now our Kings have definitely got to win the last three remaining games this season, starting with tomorrow's game against Deadmonton. The Kings better beat them in regulation again.
Actually, the Kings only need to win one game for home ice.
Totally expected. The peg wrapped up their spot yesterday so they had absolutely nothing to play for. Hell wasn't even on the bench. It will be interesting to see how the oil come out tomorrow. Kings have 3 bullets left to get home ice.

Tomorrow's game Kings have a great opportunity to make a statement. Not only to clinch home ice on Edmonton's rink, but to perhaps set the tone for the playoffs. We'll see how the boys come out and play. Last time up there it was a 1-0 loss.
Go Kings!!
Go Kings!!

I really feel on several intangible levels that this game vs the Oilers is a 'must win'. Not only that but I'd like to see it done emphatically. Talk about an opportunity to make a statement. Taking away any chance for home ice in their barn will speak volumes. Come on boys. Bring it tonite!

I appreciate your passion and interest in the game. But I think this is a tad overblown given all the dynamics.
This game is important because home ice in the first round is still undecided.
But I don’t believe there is a lot more at stake. I don’t think this is a message-type game. Too many players out of the lineup, too much looking past the final few games, too much planning and plotting for the playoffs.
Once the playoffs start it’s a new season with little carryover. No matter what occurs tonight both teams will have little or no memory of what transpired in the regular season or the last meeting between these two clubs.
I hope the Kings can settle their second place finish and the home ice advantage. That is the only thing these final three games have. And I’m hopeful that the Kings can avoid any injuries.

Especially with McDavid sitting out and all the other injuries.
Couture (groin) will announce his retirement at a press conference Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
As a result, the 15-year NHL veteran will hang up his skates with 933 games under his belt, all with the Sharks, in which he racked up 323 goals and 378 assists. Despite playing in 116 postseason contests and tallying 101 points, Couture was never able to lift Lord Stanley's chalice, losing in the Finals against Pittsburgh back in 2016.

First of all...I'd probably use the word 'overblown' to describe your reaction to my rather simple post. Second...I appreciate your appreciation for my 'passion and interest' but not sure how it applied to what I said (and I didn't ask). Third...if you watched the game last night and didn't feel like 'statements' were being made on both sides then we were watching a different game. Lastly...if you have been following this team...'passionately'...as long as I have than you know nothing is ever certain. A win last night by Edmonton (with a depleted roster) would have been potentially DEVESTATING for the Kings. Suddenly they are tied in points with two games left and all the wind taken out of their sails. Far stranger things have happened to this club over the years than losing out the last 3 games and ending up in Edmonton for games 1 and 2.
Overblown? Nah. But thanks for the breakdown.
Great win and I hope QB is ok.
