Making an NHL only thread, because I'm sick of seeing the Peyton Manning thread riddled with hockey talk.

So fellow Canadians, REJOICE!

EDIT: And Americans too, we know some of you love hockey as well.

Can't believe the Sens still came away with a win tonight.  Allowing 50 shots on net and having to kill a 5 minute power play, which also included a long 2-man advantage.  Anderson was incredible and once again the rookies stepped up for Ottawa, namely Jakob Silfverberg.

As for the hit on Eller, I believe it was clean.  I didn't see any malicious intent from Gryba on that play.  Calling it interference too was a joke since he clearly touched the puck.  In my opinion the damage was done from his face hitting the ice.  From what I've heard and read, not many people believe it was a dirty hit.  Diaz made a huge mistake and Eller paid for it.  Unfortunate for him.

Anik - Cooke elbowed savard from east west, no way Savard could ever see Cooke, and it was just an elbow to the head.... thats the worst comparison, and I expect better from you. Gryba hit Eller from right in front of him, its ellers fault he wasn't looking straight ahead... thats why its called a suicide pass, because he looks back for a pass while facing forward. If you actually knew the rules,  you're allowed to hit the head - its proportional, and point of target what matters. It's clear that Gryba hit Eller hip to hip and should to shoulder, while there was some contact. Won't be a suspension, for good reason.


Just watch this video. They all break it down, even for the dumbest person. Everyone seems to agree on the hit but Habs fans - massive surprise.

Well, Gryba got suspended two games today.

After watching it a bunch of times, i think this hit was clean. The video @jitz posted just confirmed it for me.

I think the only reason it looked so bad is because Eller basically landed on his face.

Justin Abdelkader of the Wings just got 5 and the game for a hit. Didn't even hit the head. We got ****** basketball refs or some **** here. I thought this was ******* hockey!!!!!

This is gonna sound random but what the ****, Chris Kunitz is turning 34 this year. Time ******* FLIES, I remember watching him in his rookie year as a Duck.

Also, am I the only one who thinks the Blue Jackets are much better than the Wild?

I think Minnesota kind of sucks besides three or four players...after watching Columbus play the Wings a few times this year, Columbus probably has a better lineup top to bottom. Got a few pieces when they traded Nash too.

@Brazilian Jitz I think it made sense because Karlsson and Anderson were the team's backbone and they just came back. With both of those guys for the full season, for all that we know the Sens could've won the division.

But I'm very embarrassed because we lost to...Ottawa. Like, I have absolutely no respect for that city when it comes to sports, it's a total joke. We lost to a city where a third of the population supports Toronto, a third supports the Habs and the final third that actually roots for their own city's team like they're supposed to.

The Senators deserved to beat the Canadiens.
But Montreal losing to Ottawa is disgraceful.

Yeah the Sens had a surprisingly good series.  Anderson was incredible with an even .950%.  Senators were just physically dominant throughout the series.  I think they finally have a team that's built for playoff hockey.  At least there's a chance Spezza comes back now.

I think if the Sens play the Pens next, it'll get ugly.  I'll just hope for the best.

@Anik - Just saw that GIF in a hockey thread, too funny.  To think he's a finalist for the Hart.
