2018-19 NHL thread

I got the conference finals matchups wrong, but got the finale right!

 

Shoulda been Neil Lomax vs. Steve Grogan in Super Bowl 19.

 

Definitely on team Blues here.

Saw some interesting comments from former players saying they're stunned the Bruins could make it this far with an asshat like Cassidy coaching them.

 

The Bruins are doing kind of a neat thing tomorrow night. They're having an intrasquad scrimmage at the Garden open to the public, tickets $20 and $10 with the proceeds going to charity.

 

I’ve heard one, from Bates Battaglia. Of course, it was Cassidy’s first NHL coaching job, it was 15 years ago, and Cassidy coached him for 25 games at most.

Who else has spoken out?

 

I remember Cassidy as coach of the Kingston Frontenacs of the OHL until he got canned, crazy to think he is now coaching a team that can win the Stanley Cup.

 

I’d cheer for North Korea before I’d cheer for anything Boston related.

 

That’s a bold statement, Cotton.

 

Better dead than red... Sox.

 

That was the one I had heard. Read some other anonymous comments out there in the ether. And let's face it, that Caps roster the he worked with ... it was not good.
