These Dr. Nick Riviera removable blades are truly a godsend.
0.062% better and only fail (leaving you completely dead in the water) about 3% of the time.

Kings look to be a sleeper team for playoffs.

[ExtraSlow]

Stars seem to be in good form. Even if it's against a weak opponent, that's a pretty solid performance. Cup favourites?

[Darell_n]

Now that the Oilers have secured their playoff spot convincingly against an even weaker team, do they just coast with their 4th line and guys from the farm team tomorrow night? Seems like a waste of hockey this weekend in Alberta.

[ExtraSlow]

Yeah, they want to stay ahead of the knights, but that shouldn't be too difficult. Rest anyone who's got bumps and bruises, give lots of ice to younger guys further down the lineup. Play the backup a few times. Maintain some good habits, beat worse teams.

You don't want to coast into the playoffs to gently, or its hard to get back to the high intensity needed.

That knights game was quite the banger last night.

They've got my cheers for round 1.

Hockey season is 10 months, which is pretty excessive.

Not for everyone in the NHL...

My dream would be playing in the lower states (except California), and hanging up the skates in late April.

[ExtraSlow]

Huh, playing mcJ 22 minutes a night not sustainable? Weird.


Edit, it's twenty one and a half minutes, I was wrong.

[jutes]

Prob a good move on Edmonton, no real sense to push for a division title.

[ExtraSlow]

Maybe would have been smarter to start resting him sooner. There's a lot of wear and tear on that body.

[88CRX]

But how will he win his fancy regular season trophies now?

I think it's a good team strategy to let him rest, the final games are a tough lineup, other than Phoenix. He has said in the past he could care less about personal success at this point. Needs a cup win to have any sort of legacy.

[asp integra]

Sounds like he will be out for several months hahahah

[ExtraSlow]

I heard he was dead and this was more of a weekend at Bernie's situation.
