The Lightning, who matched an NHL record with 62 regular-season wins, and the Flames combined for only one win in their first-round exits.

I rank them by least liked and pick the team I dislike less. I couldn’t stand Toronto fans if they won the Cup. We’re used to Boston fans winning sports. So I root for Boston over Toronto, and then root against them vs CBJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don't realize just how big he really is because he scores so many goals but I met him a few years ago and I guarantee he goes at least 240. He's huge.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 T.J. Oshie is highly unlikely to play again this postseason, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. The team has said Oshie is out “indefinitely” with an undisclosed upper-body injury after he was pushed into the boards from behind by Carolina Hurricanes forward Warren Foegele Devante Smith-Pelly will make his return on the fourth line, and Carl Hagelin will try to fill the hole left by TJ Oshie’s injury.

I'd be interested to know why the NHL does this. Ruff, in his pressers, would describe a Sabres injury as ‘a lower body injury’, then clarify - jokingly - ‘it’s an upper lower body injury’.

They do it for every player in case that player comes back after a game or a few off. The Capitals will continue to do it for Oshie until such time as he's absolutely ruled out of the remainder of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the targeting aspect but as Shady said, if Oshie isn't coming back that wouldn't matter. You'd think football would be the sport that would be most concerned about targeting.

Not sure but I don't remember ever seeing an NHL team be specific about an injury during the playoffs. It seems as though it is team policy that's either condoned or not prohibited by the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
