Which goal did you think was soft? Please don’t say Pulock’s bomb that went through him.

Yes. An NHL goalie has to make that save.

Harsh.

Man Kevin Bieksa is kind of annoying lol

Florida is one loss closer to winning the draft lottery, drafting Lafreniere and then moving to Quebec City.

i've heard of a site that has worked for years. they focus on the habs games and play it all off their site but it's off youtube. from what i hear it cuts off for a few seconds, max a minute, when they get pulled off youtube.
I guess if someone is stuck without a stream they would work.
i hear they broadcast games all day long.
you can find them by googling "Hockey Da Beast"

don't say that...

Wouldn't that be something .

It will happen.

Viola can pull out of the arena lease as early as 2023 which just so happens to be be right after all his big signings are off the books too. He’s losing a ton of money right now and it is all part of the plan for him to show the NHL a sale to Quebec for at least 650 million is smart. Except for the gross Ekblad and Matheson contracts, Bobrovsky’s contract was structured to drop substantially after 2023 and Barkov and Huberdeau as well are off their deals.

Viola, Bettman and Quebec all know this. It’s a done deal in my opinion. Lafreniere is just the final piece of the puzzle for me.

Florida needs to clean out their locker. How uninspired

Yep. I could do without seeing his smug face and dumb haircut everyday.

Their core is good. Dadonov and Hoffman won’t get re-signed probably. Time for the mishandled but talented pipeline of prospects to get their chance.

Their core is okay. Signing Bob was a bonehead move with Knight in their pipeline. They have some good players but their team lacks leadership and an identity.

Laf would help and Huberdeau would be a great mentor but what a waste Laf would be in that market.

He will be the teams first signing in Quebec City for his second contract. The stage is set.

The Panthers scratches today are mind-boggling. After the Isles eliminate them, Tallon needs to go to start.

I love Carolina, so it was nice to see them fleece the Panthers in the Trocheck deal.

Florida is irrelevant. Nobody cares about hockey there and they have been terrible for so long. I hope they and Arizona move.

Slow game so far. Eberle just stopped by Bobrovsky on a breakaway. Panthers controlling most of the play. Barkov’s line at least.
