    Re-sale prices don’t look all that much different than Game 2 against Philly. Maybe a 10% bump. I know the face value went up significantly.

    Yeah, congrats to Gooner Andy. Hard to believe it’s been 22 years for them.

    Series Preview … ECF: Carolina vs Montreal

    Quick thought on the series … A lot of ink is currently being or fixing to be spilled on how this series will be quite different for the Hurricanes since they’re playing a team that’s actually good. And fair enough, although I’d argue that Ottawa was actually pretty good so long as they got...

    Honestly, it’s the pick that sends the message. They could reduce the fine to nothing and would still be sending the intended message. But it’s Torts so they probably won’t do that, and I’d guess that he got warned by the league office before he even started that job … given how his press...

    I mean, if I trusted Colorado’s goaltending to hold a level for 4 straight games I could see a sweep there. This ain’t the same Vegas team everybody seems to think it is. They were a 95 point team in the regular season for a reason. This Carolina/Montreal series? Nah. I’m not sure what brand...

    Series Preview … ECF: Carolina vs Montreal

    Both first lines have kind of sucked offensively 5v5, while still holding down their end defensively. Wouldn’t shock me at all if both coaches were content to let them just square off in Game 1 and see what happens.

    Series Preview … ECF: Carolina vs Montreal

    We have a schedule, we have game times (mostly), we have TV info, those of us with tickets have access to Games 1 and 2 … and we finally have an opponent. Montreal … come on down. Literally. It’s freaking hot here in the South and drier than your great uncle’s scalp. It’ll be grand, don’t worry...

    OK, opponent done. Can we get on with this thing now? Yes. Yes we can. Kind of a wild game, with lots of running around but not all that many high quality chances generated overall. Or not as many as I would have expected. Both goalies were solid, which wasn’t a given based on the past couple...

    The last couple of games in that series have been so skewed by weird/bad goalie play that it’s really hard to map out what to expect in Game 7, much less further down the road … for either team. Put it this way, once you get to the final 4 teams, nobody’s an easy out and everybody is good enough...

    Yeah. Another bad fit for Berube. He’d be smart to take a pass on that mess and find himself a nice, lower key grind-o-matic team to coach.

    Something about May … Scott Hutchison from the Scottish band Frightened Rabbit threw himself off the Forth bridge in early May in 2018.

    I know one thing for sure … this series has absolutely murdered that old “you have to score first” thing. It was always BS, so I’m happy to see it die the death it deserves.

    Game 7 between Montreal and Buffalo tonight … any thoughts? I’ve lost all feel for this series now that it’s turned feral, frankly. Two goalies pulled in one game will do that to your logic board. Buffalo’s the betting favorite, but I suspect that’s just because they’re home. Not that home ice...

    Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell, and I’m skeptical that the corporate pukes will stay hands off. I could be blinded by the fact that I’d love to see Chelsea stay mired in the middle of the table, especially now that Man United seem to be finding their feet. Anything to bust up the “Big 4,5,6”...

    I’ve taken several trips to the NC mountains in between rounds. My kid moved back to Asheville (from Denver) last week and I’ve had a bunch of stuff to do at my family house up near Boone. I’m not complaining. The timing of the waits between rounds has been real good for my personal situation.

    I mean, if you’re open to taking some short term criticism and humiliation, that Chelsea job is a freaking ATM for managers. You sacrifice a season, get a huge paycheck for 3 years and then go get a job with a sane club after they sack you for not finding a way to integrate that 12th winger they...
