Pastrnak deemed unfit to play in tonight’s game.

Is Brind’Amour overreacting with all the line juggling this early.

his top line was arguably the best in the qualifying round and they went to double OT in game 1.

Pastrnak deemed unfit to play in tonight’s game.

He was on and off through the prelim games wasn't he?
Will make a big difference if it's more than a one-game absence.

Ouch, really bad call results in Carolina tying the game at 1-1.

[Daydream Nation]

Dumb challenge

Necas with Svech is terrific. I was wondering why the officiating was that poor.

[PenguinHunter]

I am glad that Carolina tied this one up. Good job jerks!

[Eskimo Brother]

This series was always going to be a back and forth one. Hopefully the officiating can stop playing such a clear role in it moving forward.

I hate/love how Marchand gets away with his chops to the back of peoples legs.

I was thinking the exact same thing...I also think about how to "get" Marchand without drawing a lifetime suspension.

He might need to talk to Ezekiel Elliot on this one? Didn't he get away with something similar and never got a lifetime suspension?

He's SO good at doing what he does without getting penalties. I have to respect his ability to do it and not get caught. He knows exactly where the refs are, smacks the guy and glides to an area where the ref will be able to separate them. It's ridiculous to watch when he does it to your team, but when you see him do it to another team...It's just shocking he gets away with it.

I always like to think what I'd do if I were playing against him and he did some of that stuff - the lick - shocked so that you don't know how to react right away. When you have time to think about it, I would love to have given him a quick gloved uppercut and hopefully, he bites part of his tongue off, but that's not reality with this guy. He is that good at keeping people off balance, plus he has legitimate talent. That said, if someone catches him with an open ice blindside hit that concusses him into next season, there will be a lot of people who think he had it coming.

PK Subban leveled him a few yrs ago with a big open ice hit when he was on the Canadiens. He's so good at protecting himself that there's SO FEW big hits against him.
