Saw that yesterday. Poor choice of words.

Has Quick become the Vezina favourite? He is carrying the Kings to the playoffs. He and Miller have been absolute workhorses lately.
Fun fact -- Reimer has the same cap hit as Quick.
I'd say it's down to him and Lundqvist - their stats are awfully similar, but, my guess is the "East coast bias" and reputation get Lundqvist his first trophy.
Even though these trophies are all "for the current year", I don't think it is unreasonable to look at a guy who has been near the top of the league for years and decide it is his turn now. If Quick keeps it up, he'll get his a little later.

It's got to be neck and neck... The guy with the best final week just might take it.
They should pull the mike away from Mike Milbury today.
At least Mcguire is a homer for whatever team he happens to think is the flavor of the day, but Milbury has zero class or integrity. Some announcers have a certain amount of credit and integrity, but that cross check from behind has no business in the game of hockey.
The play was over. Classless just like the Flyers to pull cheap stunts like that.
Bunch of thugs, and that's their style of classless hockey i guess Milbury subscribes to cheap hits.

Milbury has "apologized":

I'm getting tired of this guy. He is my #1 reason for not watching hotstove on HNIC any more.

I still watch it but I agree he makes it difficult to do so. I'd really like to have a word with the producer who thought that would be a good idea.
"So here's the idea, we round up some of the most respected hockey writers in the business, ask them to speak about the most important issues facing the game today...and also let's see if they can shout over Mike Milbury"

Panthers have been to OT/SO 25 times this season. That seems crazy.

That right there is why we should move to 3 points for a win.

That's why they're (probably) in the playoffs.

Found this:
"Under the league's new "Kovalchuk" rule, Chara's new contract will be cut off (for the purposes of salary-cap calculation) in the year of the contract in which he turns 41. That means Chara, who will turn 41 on Mar. 18, 2018, will have an annual salary cap hit of $6.9 million for the first six years of the deal -- $400,000 more than what would be if it were calculated over the seven years of the contract. The cap hit then drops to his actual salary ($4 million) in the final year."
