Can’t tell where I stand on this: whether I’m appalled there was no intervention to separate the kids, or whether this is good, clean fun. But I sure did laugh.

Soz about your leafs but now you know what it's all about. Failure, constant unrelenting failure.
My leafs mate took to be an Evertonian very quickly.
My first full season watching them and they've been dreadful haha. Typical
The kid is a joke, over the moon with how good he is. Always wanted them to try and snag Hagens too, but the differnce in him being stuck in the AHL, and Schaef being an NHL-ready d-man is wild.
So glad they got rid of Roy too
Playoff first round set for the Stars, will face the Wild and probably start at home if they don't lose to them tomorrow. Would have been nice to start against an easier opponent, but what fun is a Stars Stanley Cup run if every round is not excruciatingly difficult? Get healthy and these Stars can make a run, but they've been stick in a middle gear for a few weeks.
Miro Heiskanen left last night with an apparent knee injury
Age and injuries. But mainly injuries. I don't know the roster well enough to walk you through the impacts, but I saw one blogger suggest that up to 2/3s of the salary cap was sidelined for significant portions of the season. Who they've lost:
Barkov: the all time greatest Panther, out for season
Tkachuk: best player on team, missed ~ 50 games
Ekblad, Seth Jones: 1st or 2nd pair D, out for season
Marchand: NHL HOF and talented veteran, out for season
Reinhart: top-6 C/FWD, out for season
Plus at least 6 more significant injuries
Canes have a good chance to get through. I'm a huge Stanky fan unless they play the Stars.Eagerly waiting for my Canes to choke in the playoffs again!
Going down memory lane...with BamBam Cam being one of my all-time faves, it's only natural I liked Shanny...hated the Redwings at the time though (redsh*te!) despite also liking Yzerman. Anyhow...for those of us getting on in age:
