Can’t catch a damn break.

Ducks are shorthanded late in the game. Pull the goalie, rush up ice against lazy Penguins, and Sennecke chips the puck towards the goal from a bad angle. It bounces off Karlsson’s glove and into the net with 0.1 on the clock.

Amazing. Let's see how the Islanders blow their lead against Vegas.

Vegas tied it - in the last 15 seconds. I am not surprised. You are not surprised.

ANH won in the shootout. I saw PITT go up with under 4 minutes to go and was hopeful. But Ducks are going to make the playoffs. I know that’s foregone for a lot of people here. But they seriously Never quit

LoL
Anaheim won in shootout
Vegas ties it
Anaheim will get some goalie instead of Mrazek and can be very dangerous in playoffs

 

[VCRW]

At least Vegas didn’t pick up the extra point. Go Isles!

 

[Halfwall]

At least Vegas lost in the SO.

Watching Buffalo blowing a 3-0 lead in Edmonton. Ugh…

And the Sabres pull out the OT win. Tuch is awesome.

The refs in that game were leaning heavily towards the Oilers.

Definitely. The tripping call on Dahlin against Draisaitl was pure fiction.

Not to mention the alleged "hand pass" from Tuch on the Thompson goal that was called back.

The Ontario Reign vs. the Colorado Eagles are on the NHL Channel tonight at 6:00pm.

Looking forward to seeing Kenny Connors' game these days. He's getting noticed.

Games against the Canucks just got easier. Quinn Hughes to Minnesota.

Pretty solid return for VAN. They definitely needed quantity, and got some excellent quality. Zeev is a real one.

Now what can Byfield bring?

 

[Statue4Deano]

If the Canucks are waiving the white flag on the season, maybe Holland should give em a call about Garland or Boesser both right shot wingers and neither one signed up for a re-build.

Wild gave up a lot for what could be 1.6 years of Q Hughes before he signs as a UFA in Jersey.

Thinking about a Hughes/Faber pairing. That is gonna compete with Toews/Makar for best in the West. Awesome move by the Wild.

Look above. It's a glorified rental. They must think they can win the Cup this or next season, otherwise this makes no sense...

That’s exactly what they are thinking. Going for it all.

They aren't as talented as the Avs or as tough as Vegas, Stars...or Kings for that matter.

It does give them a fighting chance, sure, but it's a very risky move. They must really trust Wallstedt, but trusting a young goalie with this season being his first good one and no playoff experience is foolish. Though it's true that Gustavsson is a very good backup.
