NYR are only the top rated team in worth because MSG is a publicly traded company... for pure hockey reasons Toronto is by far the highest value club in the NHL

It's the same reason that the New York Knicks are highest valued NBA team even though their on-court product has been steaming rubbish for most of this century.

They’ve been a “meh” franchise long before Sather left. Just the way they built their teams in the past

Even with Lundquist as the anchor id argue that Luongo had a better overall career with very similar stats.

-picking our Canucks to defeat the Blues if the team make theses adjustments while playing St. Louis:

1) Continue with quick breakouts from own zone. The Blues have a strong, physical forecheck. Our D-men need to get pucks from the corners and make a good outlet pass to the forwards. Forwards need to provide support to the d-men to get the puck out of their zone if the Blues forwards are preventing our d-men from getting the puck quickly. No pinching from the forwards.

2) Stay out of the penalty box. The guys, especially Myers, need to avoid taking undisciplined penalties. Myers took a ton of cross checking penalties in games vs. Minnesota. Myers needs to dial down the uncontrolled aggression. The Blues had the third best PP in the league this season, even with Tarasenko just playing ten games this season because of injury.

3) Consistent goaltending from Markstrom. Markie needs to step up his game against the Blues. None of this Jekyll and Hyde show of goaltending with a shutout against the Wild in game 3, followed by a shaky performance in game 4.

Going to triple OT for the CBJ/TB game now.

It would be funny if CBJ sweeps them again.

Fifth overtime is coming up for Tampa Bay and Columbus for game 1.

I was hoping Columbus would pull it off. Korpisalo and Jones deserved it.

-not the longest overtime NHL game. The fourth longest game in NHL playoff history.


The Blue Jackets goalie Korpisalo sets a league record with 85 saves.

going to overtime for game 1 between Carolina and Boston.

I hope the game goes to at least five OTs in that game with the Hurricanes winning this one.

They scored at the halfway mark of 5OT so that's playing 2.5 games they must be dead tired. Dang Seth Jones played 64 minutes!
