So there was a fun night on the Island

Detroit is up 5-2 with a little over 5 min to go in the 3rd when this happens:
This is a cut and dry soccer play https://streamable.com/3zhrc

It turns into this:

Well, I guess Tavares is staying there.

Let's see how long this tweet stays up.

PK Subban might have been the worst player on the ice tonight. Wouldn?t know it by the way he celebrated the win.
Gallagher ?He came in here, tried to make it about PK Subban, that?s what he does.?

You know, when they were trying to find the problem in Montreal's dressing room I'm not sure that they found the white, sorry, I mean "right", guy.

Why not consider that the his fellow players just don't like his flashy selfish attitude rather than them being Racists??  I recall in the Final last year when he started the Crosby bad breath BS, which he admitted, it was reported than more than a couple of his Nashville teammates were not happy either. I like the player a lot, and the person even more, but it's easy to see how it might wear thin in a closed environment when you aren't doing so well.

Did you see one of his former teammates from the WJC?s comment?
It was not good.

Well hey now I'm sure that guy had a good reason for using a racial slur to describe Subban for the past 9 years.

This is a true story that still blows my mind over 30 years later.  I'm from a small town that is all white,
never hated anyone for any reason especially skin color.  I got selected for a Provincial sports team and the team had a Black guy and a Japanese guy.  The Black guy walks up to me and introduces himself
with Hi I'm Alex but everyone calls me Nig!!!!  I crapped my pants and quickly replied "you will be Alex to me"  He didn't seem to care but that interaction still bothers me.

I don't know about you guys but I'm thoroughly enjoying the collective messes that are the Habs and Sens right now.

And Edmonton! Never forget Edmonton!

Edmonton is funny cause of all the first round picks but I feel bad for them as I have friends from there (I lived in Edmonton for about 18 months back in the late 90s)

Jack Eichel is now out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain.
The Leafs have 4 more games against the Sabres, all after the trade deadline.

I was just looking at the Oilers draft positions the last 8 drafts:

2010 - 1st
2011 - 1st
2012 - 1st
2013 - 7th
2014 - 3rd
2015 - 1st
2016 - 4th
2017 - 22nd

If they win the lottery again this year, it'll be their 5th #1 overall in 9 drafts! How are they so bad still? 

Four #1 picks
Seven total picks in the top 10.

Edmonton model my ass.

If they do win the draft lottery, that means they'll stay bad.  We can cheer them on.

No problem, they could probably trade Taylor Hall for one with the season he's having!
