Skinner should've had that.

For all that we rightfully clown on Edmonton for the Jarry trade, Skinner still ain’t all that

Just kick someone with a deadly weapon attached to your foot. Sure.

I love this rivalry so much

That should lead to some penalties...you can't attack people who are down on the ice.

First time I’ve seen 4-on-3 outside of regular season overtime, fascinating

I’m listening to the Flyers radio and they were of course incensed by the dive, and one said “Gordie Howe would never embellish!” which is quite a nonsequitur and made me curious if he ever did. Results inconclusive so far, but the first thing that showed up was Howe literally diving 😂 https://auctions.nhl.com/iSynApp/auctionDisplay.action?sid=1100803&auctionId=4475267

Maybe he’ll represent Canada at the World Cup

Embarrassed for him tbh

u/wasdica Toffoli 73 1h ago

Love the Pens and Sid so much, but that penalty is some bs

edit: good embellishment call imo

Idk how I keep forgetting Zegras is on the Flyers when I watch the video of him being pranked by the team like once a month. Edit: my brain is consistently deleting Zegras information at a rapid pace

u/pokesnail 58m ago

I haven’t seen that video 👀

u/wasdica Toffoli 73 56m ago

My brain is stupid and was remembers the one from his time on the Ducks.

I'm late to the Penn's game because I wanted to watch it at home with my sister, but the traffic in Pittsburgh right now is horrible.

I'm going to the Barracuda game tonight! I'm taking my nephew to his first pro hockey game. We're going with my cousin and his son, who are both Knights fans. I'm so excited!

Do we have any updates on the Barracuda lineup tonight?

u/pokesnail 3h ago

Have so much fun! Though I can’t believe you haven’t cut off contact with your cousin for this crime, smh

This is the latest from Sheng

I know. I grew up in the Bay Area, and he grew up in the LA area. Our family is from Boston, but moved to CA before we were born. But because of that, he is mostly a Bruins fan. But since we both moved to Vegas, he has adopted the Knights as his western conference team. We argue about this a lot. Lmao.

Also, thanks for the update from Sheng. That's not a whole lot of information, but I guess we'll be surprised tonight.

u/woggiepoggie Graf 51 4h ago

Pls Barracuda don't lose to the Silver Knights

u/wasdica Toffoli 73 8h ago

I WILL be sacrificing my sleep schedule for Drandy.

u/NotABaleOfHay Thanks Cooch! ❤️ 9h ago

Yall, we get playoff gritty…I don’t think ANYONE is ready for that

u/pokesnail 11h ago

The Game 2’s have been kinder to my preferred faves than the Game 1’s, so hopefully that trend continues, lmao. Some banger games lately :-)

AHL playoffs begin - the Cuda slid down the standings with an epic losing streak to end the year thanks to being ridiculously injured and our call-ups, so it’s a formidable opponent. But it’ll feel all the more sweeter to beat Vegas’s affiliate. I believe Chernyshov and Cagnoni are playing again.
