2013 NHL Season Thread: TUUKKA RASK, HE'S FROM FINLAND, AND IS INELIGIBLE TO BECOME MAYOR

[Callisto]

God I wish the President's trophy curse was a real thing.

real question is if the Canucks will lose to someone other than the Cup winner for a change

[Callisto]

what the shit lol, the lead for the Art Ross with two games to play is...Martin St. Louis? Kind of funny that it's almost guaranteed to go to a Lightning player since Stamkos is 2nd.

[KoalaTrap]

I hope Marty gets it. If he does he'll break Gordie Howe's record of oldest player to lead the league in scoring. Pretty impressive especially in the modern era.

It's funny because it's true. We've lost to the eventual cup winner 4 out of the passed 6 years.

So, uh, Erik Karlsson is playing tonight.

In before Ovi re-injures him and gets suspended for the entirety of the playoffs.

Tell me everyone has seen this; fucking hysterical.

[KoalaTrap]

That's amazing haha. I guess it's over now: This just in, Brad Fain's (co-owner) mother just called hysterically crying and bought the last 44 ticket packages!

I am so apprehensive about toniggt

[KoalaTrap]

I'm so psyched dude. First time I'm seeing the Rangers live since 1997 when they played the Whalers when I lived in CT. So excited to see the King live!
I don't think the Rangers will have the problems they had against FLA. Carolina's defense gives up a ton of shots and you have to think the Rags will be stronger out of the gate. Semin is out for the Canes too.

Just clinch tonight and get it over with!

The elimination hurts much more when it's done by your own hand. You should definitely be hoping that this happens, rather than NY losing then having to suffer yourselves losing to someone and eliminating yourselves.

[Richybear]

Oilers better keep tanking. Watching Connor McDavid at the U-18 tourney, the kid is insane. Of course he has 2 years to Angelo Esposito himself.
But so far in 5 games: 8G, 6A.

I have no shame in accepting a helping hand.

IF the Oilers have the ability to draft McDavid in 2015, no current Oiler fan will be around to witness it. Due to suicide of course.

But Carolina has the power of THREE STAALS
