Brad Richards will be a healthy scratch for tonight's elimination game for the Rangers.
It's a good thing Burke wasn't successful in signing him. EDIT: Also, when does it become apparent Tortorella just isn't that good of a coach? How do you struggle to make the postseason fairly consistently/never go too far with a pretty good lineup and one of the best goalies in the league? He's always had star players besides Lundqvist, not like it was just him and scrubs.

erinnicks: Alfie when asked if they can come back. "Probably not. They have too much depth." #Sens
Love that confidence!
Reverse guarantee.

That was OK for a while, but if critical goals are going in while they're on the ice then what good are they at all?
Is the argument that since they are playing defensive minutes no critical goals should be going in when they are on the ice? Or is there an acceptable level of critical goals? Because it's going to happen to even the best if they are playing mostly defensive-oriented minutes.

I'd like to see it but I don't want to watch a 30 second commercial first as a pre-requisite to watching a 5 second play.
Have Adblock so didn't even realize there was one.

Hot days interspersed with cool days in-between, dry spells interspersed with rain/thunderstorms (in some places, a little stormier), etc. Yeah that about covers the possible types of weather every summer.

Apparently standing in the crease negates goals again? Because Chicago just had their potentially game-tying goal waived off for it. Shaw was battling in front of the net and the ref called the goal off for goalie interference. At no point did Shaw make contact with Howard in any way though. I guess you could argue he prevented Howard from coming out of his net a little more, but you could make that argument on almost any play.
So like half the Bruins goals against the Leafs.
Pretty much. And another reason it's ridiculous goalie interference no-goals can't be reviewed.
What I actually meant was half their goals vs Leafs were way worse interference.

0 goals & 3 assists for Nash in 8 playoff games so far.

Loved the finale of the office.
Sure it slipped, but you kinda grow attached to the characters.
I teared up on more than one occasion. This line from Andy was perfect, and hits hard: "I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you've actually left them."

I think you're looking too much into it right now.

There are tons of things he could have done, but that's why I never criticize the D too hard on those plays in front. Watching other games, the stuff in front of the net happens/changes so quickly, that things look bad on replay and slo-mo that in the heat of the moment, or if a puck had bounced a different way, wouldn't look so bad. And it happens to every D. I'm sure I could think of a handful or more reasons why he might have done what he did, but I'm not a masochist who wants the full weight of DionSux nation on me.
I just think it was a perfect storm of poor circumstances - Bergeron takes a surprisingly deceptive and quick wrister from the point, it makes it through, it avoids Chara, it makes it into the top corner, blah blah. Where's that drink...

Morning chaps, pip pip.
Waited a few days before asking this...is Phaneuf a potential trade or buy-out candidate this summer given performance compared to salary along with now having a new GM who didn't trade for him?
Burke said when the Phaneuf deal when down that it was Nonis who did all the legwork on it, so, in a way, he did trade for him. He's absolutely not a buyout candidate, and I imagine the Leafs would have to be overwhelmed by an offer to consider trading him. His performance vs salary wasn't anywhere close to as bad as people make it out to be.
Whole lot of confirmation bias goes on with Phaneuf.
