The Swamp

I don't think anyone had any Predators so no damage there. Leafs getting some extra games in but the big guns not really putting up their usual points.

Between round 2 and 3

Penguins and Panthers eliminated. Ryan, Giff and Max took the biggest hits, losing 3 players each.

Three game-sixes tonight. After all the fuss, it looks like the Canadian series are going to finish before a bunch of other ones.

I'm pretty certain Winnipeg lost the xG battle in all four games. They did indeed, and they did all year. They outscored and outsaved their xG this series exactly like they did in the season. I'm just saying that, watching them during the year that was obvious. During the series I really thought th...

Bit of a late night last night, so the update is later than usual today :)

Everyone's roster goes down by one (1) Connor McDavid.

travzilla

One good thing about back-to-back in the playoffs is you get really drunk watching the first game, sleep in until 1pm and then you're awake enough to watch the series clincher that ends at 3:05am. While all four of those games could have gone either way, there's a bit of a narrative on smart hockey ...

Blues and Capitals eliminated yesterday.

travzilla

Leclerc takes pole and Hamilton is 7th on the grid, could make for an interesting race Leclerc goes out for warm up lap and gear box is not working! Ferrari left it alone after the crash yesterday to avoid a penalty for replacing it and hoped there was no damage. Looks like he won't make it out. Wow.

At least it looks like those will be the only guys you lose this round, and they're making the most of it while they're around.

Which lap will Mazapin crash on, dramatically resetting the race with a red flag? I say lap 28 just after the pit stops.

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying about to start. Most important one of the year, as there is pretty much no place to pass someone during the race so you have to qualify as high as you can. All the race drama will come down to who crashes and when, and who can gain spots on pit stop strategies. I'm gonna...

No kidding. Not out of the ordinary for sportsnet.
I've got Jays/Canes/twitter on my screens anyway :)

Kadri gets 8 games, which is pretty significant, but fair given his rap sheet.

Ryan takes over the lead...

Another great game in Florida. Panthers tie it 5-5 with 3 minutes left. Looking like OT

travzilla

I don’t think so. It looked more like the trainer decided he had to keep Tavares down or hold his neck and prioritized the latter? Yeah it did seem like Tavares was hell bent on getting up for some reason. I don't understand the fight afterwards. Is Corey Perry supposed to be answering for somethin...

travzilla

I don’t fully understand what happened. Was he trying to get himself up or was something so bad the trainer had to take the chance of moving him that way? Sportsnet never showed a replay of that moment but i figured he probably said he could get up and the trainer went with it until Tavares lost it...

travzilla

I think his history is gonna be a big factor here, combined with the indefensible-ness of this hit (Faulk doesn’t really make any last minute turns or change angles... just 100% dirty).

I say 6 games.

I know right. He did this to us last year pretty much every other night.

Degen and wlu-lax the only people not to pick McDavid, looking prescient. Degen riding MacKinnon hat trick and Jets empty-netters to to the top of the table.

travzilla

No SOG for McDavid thru 2? Jets are noticeably trying to rough up him and Draisaitl, and to an extent it’s working. More dump-ins rather than zone entries compared to past jets-Oilers games. Jets sacrificing a lot of offensive opportunities but I think mike smith is gonna cost the Oilers one of the...

Update from Tuesday's games

Canada joins the party tonight, and we've got 4 games a night for the next week at least.

Degen back to putting up big nights...

Actually the department of swamper safety says he just gets a minimal fine.

update

travzilla

So Tampa-Florida is living up to the hype of the series to watch in round 1.

travzilla

We're off and running. Last call for entries.

wlu-lax out of the gate fast with 4.4 points from Tom Wilson. Really blind-sided us with that start.

Yeah not that I thought anyone would use that info to gain an advantage but who knows. They’ll be visible Sunday morning.

Bos-Wsh tonight but I wouldn’t have a problem with taking entries tomorrow still.

Finally got my first shot tonight. Am I the last swamper? Just booked my appointment for my first dose - May 24. The vaccine roll out got off to a very slow start out here, though the last month or so we've been on the same pace as everyone else. It's also more forgivable when you live in a provinc...

BSF - is Adam West your buddy? If so can you let him know he only checked off 10 players on the entry form. Maybe re-submit a new one?

So far I've got everyone in from last year except Rass and Giff. Anyone else, you still have a another day to get in.

travzilla

Me, Chedda and wlu-lax entered in so far. Looks like US games will start this weekend so we're looking at a Saturday night entry deadline. Here is last year's spreadsheet if anyone wants to look through the stats for patterns and efficiencies. It looks like the higher-multiplyer groups had more aver...

Swamp NHL Playoff Pool 2021 It's....BACK. Who will be this year's third liner with a hot stick? Which superstar will get injured by a dirty hit in game 1?

Yes! I’m up for it if people are in. I’ll set it up tomorrow or Monday.
End of the season really snuck up on me here. With no real races it’s felt like there’s been ten games left for the last month.
