So to add to this it was probably on average every month that I would see them. According to my budget and time.

I started this hobby in 2005. I saw a regular until about 2011. It was quite a tumultuous relationship with a few breaks in between but she helped me on a personal level get through some very rough times for which I will be forever grateful. I don’t think she is in the business anymore but I...

The strategy of pulling your goalie is to get an extra forward on the ice. It backfired right away for Edmonton two games in a row. The Canucks scored two goals with their goalie pulled in game four against Nashville and then won in OT. Once in a while it works, but not very often.

That's a great point. He had some key goals.

Was told 25 years ago to invest in gold and silver. Haven’t looked back since.

I totally agree. How does a team with a huge noisy crowd going crazy come out in the first period and get 2 shots on goal? They could have been behind 3 or 4 nothing after the first period if not for the goalie. They were lucky. Then came out in the second and did nothing again. Give Edmonton...

I agree with those that have said the Canucks won't get past Dallas if they win against Edmonton tonight. I am picking Dallas over Florida in the final. But getting at least two more home games the next round would be huge for their bottom line when they look at signing players next year.

The Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe-MVP of the playoffs are the only two trophies that are not awarded based on the regular season. So anything done in the playoffs will not count towards coach of the year. Does not necessarily mean that Tocchet is going to win it, but it does not always go to...

I like getting Hoglander back in there, that guy is meant for playoff hockey. Hopefully being benched has sent a message. They need to spend more time in the Edmonton zone getting on their D and also winning the five on five battle.

He is usually quite stoic at the best of times. I think there is a lot of gamesmanship being used at this time of the year, as well as putting out reports of people being injured, or not. Earlier in the series, I think it was game two when he tried a wrap around and could only make it part way...

Hard fought game with not much room out there to move around. I thought the Oilers D played well. I love how Tocchet isn't afraid to call out the players that need to step up. Proud of the way they fought back and tied it. I think it has been a classic series so far. Best out of three now with...

5-3 Edmonton

I could definitely see it happening, but it would more than likely be because the dynamics of the relationship just turned in that direction, and not because you were really looking for it. It would also come from having a rather long relationship with her as an SP and then forming a trust to...

I totally agree. Playing your two top players 30 minutes a game might get them past Vancouver, but it looks like it will be Dallas next round. They'll need contributions from other lines just to stay close to them. Dallas is solid from top to bottom.

Zadorov was fined the max. I don’t think there is a suspension. Soucy is having a hearing today. In the ‘Protect our Superstars Category’ McDavid will get nothing for swinging his stick at Soucy. Typical NHL.
