Click through to see the thread. Pacioretty with the type of on-ice insight we don't get enough of on broadcasts.

LOL, I was expecting a whole lot more than that. 

"A few shots to the groin" on Valabik?  I counted one shot from behind at the end.  The other was into his stomach.

The one on Dominic Moore looked more like him making sure Moore knew he wasn't happy with him tying up his stick between his legs.  I would have done the same thing to Moore while trying to pull my stick out. 

I have nothing on the O'Rielly one though.  I don't really believe his response that he was going to lift his stick.
 
Brad Marchand - A gutless and classless player.  I hope he sits the rest of the season.  His hearing is today for a deliberate stick to the "you know where".

You know there are players on other teams that you absolutely hate because they drive you up the wall, but they are great players and you would take on your team any day?  Marchand is not one of them for me...

EDIT:  He got 2 games.

I'd take Marchand in a heartbeat. He'd be perfect on Matthews left side.
 
I don't have a particularly strong opinion on the Hart trophy because I think there are a number of strong candidates but it sure seems to me like when it was Crosby vs. Ovechkin the media was all "Sure Crosby's scoring more points but Ovechkin's scoring more goals! Hart Trophy!" and now this year it seems like it's "Sure, Crosby's scoring more goals, but McDavid has more points!".

Basically I kind of think that Crosby has reached that sort of Michael Jordan/Barry Bonds level of "What reasons can we come up with to not give him the MVP?"

True. He didn't win the Hart, however, when he won the Richard and came within 3 points of the scoring race in 2009-010. That was a year after Ovechkin won the Hart by virtue of winning the Richard and coming within 3 points of the scoring race.

Eichel's gonna make a ton of money in his career, but that's gotta sting. He had 2 points in his final 6 games, but was on a huge tear prior to that: 32 points in 24 games

Guess he shouldn't have mocked Leafs fans at the boards then.

I have this feeling that Eichel is going to have a Taylor Hall level of bad luck and circumstance over his career.
 
Does it fuel the McDavid-Eichel rivalry if we point out that McDavid set up Draisaitl for that point that put him over the top?
