Few thoughts on the Greig clapper into the empty net situation.
Is it a bit trashy? Yes absolutely.
Is it also hilarious and awesome? Yes absolutely.
Does he deserve to get fed for it? Yes absolutely.
Did Rielly go WAY over the top with cross check to the dome? Yes
People picking out 1 moment at the Panthers Cup parade to try to shit on them for a lack of fans are absolute muppets. There have been so many fans there, they’ve been parting all weekend, and it’s POURING rain and they’re still there. Don’t be salty your team didn’t win.
The amount of fans of certain teams that were eliminated by the Panthers STILL tweeting and complaining about calls/no calls is really special stuff. Truly astounding
Watching New York Rangers twitter go up against Carolina Hurricanes twitter in round 2 is honestly going to be the most insane matchup of the playoffs. Two completely unhinged and belligerent groups of people
The Larkin Effect is clear and it is real. This Red Wings team is better across the board with him in the lineup. Have said it before, he should legit get Hart votes
The NHL trade deadline market has become a complete clown show. Calgary reportedly asking for a 1st rounder for Chris Tanev is preposterous. Tanev is 34 years old and has 1 goal and 13 assists on the season. How is that ask anything more than a 4th round pick?? What are we doing?
Some quick thoughts on the Rempe / Bastian hit.
Super tough situation. Rempe came in clean, kept his elbow down, didn’t charge at all. Bastian was crouching down and Rempe is a giant. Rempe did, unfortunately, obliterate him straight to the face. Really unlucky.
Fine with the
Love Matthew Tkachuk so much.
Love him and Pasta squaring up.
But.
Him throwing punches at Pasta’s head when he’s down repeatedly is kinda scumbag shit. Wish he wouldn’t be like that
Disaster for Bruins. Not sure how Sweeney answers for this. Would’ve been better off playing out the season with the tandem. Pray another trade is in the works otherwise Boston just shit the bed
The

have officially acquired Linus Ullmark from Boston for Joonas Korpisalo, the No. 25 pick and Mark Kastelic.
The

retain 25% on Korpisalo.
Truly hysterical how much people use the “people pay to watch me play” moment against Jack Hughes. That has quite literally backfired since the moment he said it
Jake Guentzel to the Rangers is heating up BIG TIME. It’s going to cost a lot. Something like a 1st, Kakko, and possibly a coveted prospect. But that is the type of big move that’s a difference maker for New York 👀👀
People complaining about Vegas and LTIR cap maneuvering…shut up. It’s amazing. They’re following the rules and making crafty moves. You want to stop them? Beat them at their own game. It’s awesome
Verdict is in. The city of Detroit doesn’t get enough love. Hockey vibes are immaculate. People are nice and love their teams. Food is awesome. LCA is without a doubt a top barn in the national. If you get the chance, go for a visit and hit a game. We had a BLAST
Don Sweeney and the Bruins are attempting to play chess not checkers. These short term bargain signings are a way to control the bleeding. Keep vets like McAvoy and Pasta happy this year while giving young players a chance to develop. The short contracts will give Boston around
Swayman is so special for a million reasons. Intelligent, humble, gracious, composed, funny. Such an amazing person and competitor.
Also stick taps to
@emilymkaplan
for being exceptional at what she does
The Bruins should be proud of their season. After losing two franchise legends down the middle, they delivered a wire to wire PHENOMENAL year. Fun, exciting, and successful first round against a very good Leafs team. And took the former ECF champs and 1 seed in the Atlantic
Might not be what fans want to hear. The Bruins should use the deadline not necessarily to reload for the playoffs, but to offload certain players with expiring contracts to get whatever players, picks, and prospects they can that better serve them this summer
Spare me with the “holding the stick” nonsense. That hit against Lohrei is horseshit and should be at LEAST 2 min. Horrific. And the no call results in a goal. Brutal for Boston
Drew Doughty is having such an exceptional season. So many people were writing him off and he is silencing every single doubter. 14 goals and 22 assists now. +8 while still leading the league in time on ice. STUD
Some clarity on the Toffoli situation. Extension talk fell apart due to Devils coming up short on term and money. A trade should be made in the coming days. Top 6 goal scorer will be an amazing add for any team. Toffoli is an unreal player and person. Should get lots of suitors
Can’t stress enough how high the ceilings are for Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson next season with the Oilers. Those are low key the two best signings of the summer 👀

No, not but still. Like we said, the Leafs players should’ve been pissed and should’ve let him know. But a cross check to the head is bush league no matter the circumstances. Targeting the head is ass
Charlie Coyle is often criticized by the Bruins fan base as a player who doesn’t produce at a rate expected of his contract (5.25 mil AAV). Coyle currently has 17 points in 19 games (73 point pace). Pretty sure that’s a bargain. Show some love, people
College hockey coverage is an absolute DISGRACE. This is a problem we’ve all known about for years, but it’s got to change. A possible national championship game preview on right now, and it’s a nightmare to find on ESPN+. Barely any bars showing it. COME ON PEOPLE!!!
Passionate fans are the best. Truly. And let us be clear, we are not Rangers fans.
But if you’re saying that Jacob Trouba is “a dirty player who is actively trying to injure people” you need to get a grip. You think that group of Rags players would agree to be captained by
Let’s all please give it a rest on the Corey Perry rumors. Whether you’re trying to be funny or not, this is a pretty ass thing to contribute to when there’s zero truth to it, and especially when you consider the impact it has on a young star player and his family. All love fam
Call it cockiness, call it confidence. The Rangers fans have never been louder and more sure of themselves than they seem right now. They’re already looking past the Panthers. Who can blame them?
TD Garden is going to be absolutely buzzing when they call Looch’s name tomorrow night. Tune into a new episode of the pod featuring Milan Lucic tomorrow morning to get ready for opening night! 🥅
Crazy that people are still trying to deny this rangers team. How many times do we need to say it? They. Are. Different.
Cockroaches. Refuse to die. Win at all costs. Cup is coming. 🪳🪳🪳
Are we taking crazy pills?? How is anyone is favor of Utah HC? It’s not the worst name of all time, but is this European football?? DAMN YOU PEOPLE THIS IS HOCKEY! NOT A SOCCER GAME!
Stand by what we said last week. Trouba is not a dirty player. Truly believe this play wasn’t entirely intentional. But if you’re saying it shouldn’t be at least a one game sussy, you’re either a homer or a silly goose. Accident or not, can’t be lumber jacking guys in the dome
David Pastrnak is 1 point away from being tied for 9th (Martin Straka and Petr Nedved) in most NHL points by a Czech born player. 5 away from being 8th (Petr Sykora). At just 27 years old, it’s remarkable how impressive this is
Sidney Crosby getting restless and demanding a trade would be all time levels of drama added to this season. And let’s be honest - he’d be well within his rights. His level of play deserves to be in the playoffs. If this Pens team isn’t gonna make it, who could blame him?
This feels right. Love Rempe mania, but it was building up to this. He’s an overexcited puppy. Sometimes you gotta go in the crate if you chew the coffee table legs
