MacKinnon ate a slice of pizza in a moment of weakness after Canada’s loss and has checked himself into rehab

Yeah it's the worst. Especially with a GM/ front office in total paralysis. The leafs have made 2 waiver claims the whole year, that's the extent of their transactions, a wannabe contender that's underperformed since game 1 of the season, with no picks for 2 years. Trade somebody you fuccin moron

It’s a pretty huge game for the first one back, difference between the Wings being up 7 or 11. I don’t know if that’s “can’t be caught” territory yet but the stakes are big for the SNES.

At this point the SNES only (semi-?) realistic hope is 8 seed. Going down 11 to the wings would not be good but the bigger cost is just the 2 points on the group of teams fighting for 8

I can't watch the first two hours anyway, doing bedtime, likely a mercy.

Well I did get outta there 30 mins earlier than usual and saw last half of the 2nd, suffice it to say you can come to THIS thread for the unbiased version of events the rest of the way.

Got absolutely eviscerated with stomach flu Monday night so I've been going to bed at like 8, 8:30, getting great sleeps. Now I'm up eating doritos at 9PM, still at least 45 mins to go before I try to soothe my fury after the what is seeming like an inevitable 3-1 loss with Detroit having 18 shots on goal. I make very good decisions, you see.

I mean... it is comical that this game is tied, right?

Detroit pushing late here, ideal timing for worst possible outcome

That Kasper tip was close but for the most part their cross-ice passes weren’t connecting

SNES had a few late rushes too

Getting a point out of that is huge (for their push to not have to give up a lottery pick). A pleasant plot twist, anyway, was so sure DET was going to drop one in late in the 3rd.

Supposedly Ottawa has had long-term interest in Mackenzie Weegar, but 1. he's been terrible this year 2. he's not getting any younger 3. I'm not sure what Ottawa would send back (because I don't see Calgary moving him for nothing)

Sharks have like 5 players who wear numbers in the 70s it's crazy. Then half the guys on the Oil wear 90 numbers kinda like Jacob in trailer park boys trying to look like Julian
