Florida Panthers head coach Andrew Brunette does not want to feed into any rumors involving his team and a strip club.

Two hosts of a Tampa Bay radio show were adamant that "a lot" of Panthers players were seen partying at a strip club as late as 3:00 a.m. on Monday morning after their Game 3 loss to the Lightning put them in a 3-0 series hole.

Kadri of the Avs and Hyman of the Oilers doing their best to carry on the long and proud tradition of players leaving the Leafs and then winning the Cup with their new team.

I am one who is ready for singing a nation anthem before sporting events to go, but listening to the crowd in Edmonton sing the Canadian nation anthem was cool.  And it’s official that the Canadian nation anthem is superior.

 

Oh look, a quick applets goal. What a terrible play, Markstrom.

the american national anthem is a solid #2 behind the french national anthem.  canada is nice, but land of the free and the home of the brave is a great way to end a national song.

(its no "sowing the fields with the blood of our enemies", but we cant be as cool as those fellows from marseilles.)

[buddha]

oh no, mike smith!  oh no!

[buddha]

can mcdavid play goal too?

Not even Osgood or Dan Cloutier let in a 135 footer.

Russian anthem is #1 by a country mile.

McDavid leaves it late but finally gets his 2nd point of the game on Kane’s ENG. Oilers win 5-3.

I wonder if he lost it in those nearly black uniforms.

It would serve them right if it did. Those uniforms are dumb.

the oilers have such classic uniforms, i dont know why they feel the need to mess with them.

totally been enjoying this playoff season.  I assume the next round will be mostly prime time?  I prefer later games, it's easier for me to watch once all the hassle around the house settles down.

I hate to say it but the Star Spangled Banner at Chicago Stadium was pretty cool too.

That was unbelievable.  I had to rewind it to make sure I saw that right.

As a longtime Oilers fan, I'm enjoying the hell out of this playoff run. Kind of weird to see my team playing games through Memorial Day weekend, only the 2nd time that's happened in my Oilers fandom (2006 being the other). 

Oddly enough, a lot of Ken Holland's moves (to make it Red Wings relevant) that looked questionable earlier in the season are looking golden right now.

Kenny’s problem as a GM in Det was drafting bad players for too many years.

Actually, I thought his cap management in Detroit was a bigger disaster (Nielsen, Abdelkader, Dekeyser etc. etc.). His cap management still blows in Edmonton (took on Keith at full salary which was crazy and gave Darnell Nurse elite Dman money at $9m+) but a lot of his signings are sure paying off in the short term but long term might be sketchy. The drafting has actually been good so far, the Oilers system hasn't been this loaded in years but remains to be seen until they have NHL success.
