The hardest part I have in believing that is Vegas running more than 99.6% of cap last year, surely they had room to spare on their island of misfit toys...

IIRC Vegas took on a bunch of people's shitty contracts to stockpile draft picks. Remember, their original strategy going into last year was "We're going to suck hard for the first few, but be contenders 3-5 years down the road."

Isn't that where David Clarkson's contract ended up?

Seriously though, fuck instant replay.

If they aren't going to get rid of it and just go with "human error happens, live with it" then they AT LEAST need to change the official rules to something like "Either the refs or the situation room can stop the game, in any situation, for any reason, and review any call, using any criteria they want, to ensure the best decision is made."

What in the actual fuck is the point of having a bunch of rules about how replay works and then blatantly violating them multiple times in the playoffs right in front of the entire world?

Seriously though, you're nuts if you don't think the primary reason that didn't get 5 is how viciously the refs in the San Jose/Vegas series were picked apart for calling a 5 in a key situation in an elimination game (including the league publicly announcing they were removed from the playoffs, seemingly as punishment)

^ what he said! When I ranked the final 8 at the end of the last topic they were my 8th place team. Granted Carolina was 6th or 7th but yeah.

Auto-rooting for whoever emerges from the west, hopefully Sharks win tonight.

Edit: woo found it from the site that shall not be named

UNOFFICIAL REMAINING TEAM RANKING

(1) St. Louis: I'm a homer for Binnington and a team that was dead last on January 2 continuing their ridiculous run

(2) Columbus: nobody believed in them, how far can they keep rolling?

(3) San Jose: Thornton and Karlsson, Stanley Cup, 'nuff said (well, also the miracle comeback vs. Vegas)

(4) Dallas: how long ago was their owner shit-talking their best players? How was this the season that Ben Bishop finally delivered with a ridiculous career renaissance?

(5) Colorado: worst team left curbstomped the Flames, nice

(6) Carolina: yeah....

(7) Islanders: no....

(8) Boston: is probably the best team left and would be the worst team to win, which means they probably will.


At least the west is still rolling.

Yep.

We had a huge chaos scenario drop everyone except Boston... Who may have been the second best team in the NHL. I think Boston wins the cup without going to another game 7 against anyone.
