Natalie is originally from Toronto but moved to Texas. You can take the girl out of Canada but you can’t take the love of hockey out of the Canadian. Now in response to her clothing choice it’s hot in Texas.

Just realized the NHL created the perfect schedule for the first round of games. Every series has one off day between each game. Every day has 4 potential games.

Let’s not overthink this. A fan of hockey is worth celebrating.
Zach "The coach killer" Parise has struck again. It only took 1 year for him to get Barry Trotz fired on the Island..
And Pierre is out in Ottawa.
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

So a bad color commentator gets his first managerial job and is fired quickly? Shocking.
Just realized the NHL created the perfect schedule for the first round of games. Every series has one off day between each game. Every day has 4 potential games.
I’m sure this is what they would prefer and just got lucky with building schedules.
Honestly hilarious that the islanders fired Trotz, he has far more to do with their success than Lou’s management.
This comes up every year but it doesn’t seem possible that Ovechkin has never scored an OT playoff goal.
Does Tkachuk chew through one mouth guard per game or one per period?
Who is the person color commentating on the preds game that sounds ill?
Oettinger for DAL is having some game
Oettinger with the butt save!
Sick assist by Makar on the probable series winner
I really want Nashville to win. At least one game. ?
Nashville lead for about five minutes in that series.
Makar is the best player to play college hockey since? Brett Hull?
Today in 1991 the Minnesota North Stars Beat Edmonton in the conference finals and went on to the Stanley Cup! 
Aloha!

Is this Leah Hextall calling the Oiler game? Painful to listen to.
Why does someone on here always find it necessary to rip a woman calling games?
Maybe it is a best fit for the position thing and not a gender thing... But I won't waste my time arguing that one.

Well....she is awful ?. Not nearly enough volume for the job, sounds like she's standing 10 feet from the mic, and she goes long stretches without calling player names. When she gets excited, it's like that sound your knife makes on a dinner plate that makes your teeth hurt.
It takes a special announcer to handle hockey...and she ain't it.
To be fair, a lot of male announcers get ripped around here , too, not least out very own Anthony Lapanta and Paul Allen, to name only two.
Cruel fate in Edmonton. McDavid can't get off for a change and gets beat for the game winner. Defense noticeably absent as well.
You get a game six. You get a game six. You get a game six. Everybody gets a game six!
First time since 2010 7/8 series made it to at least six games. Prior to that 1992 (all 8 series). Rare occurrence.

Over/under of the 7 game 6’s going to a game 7?!?!?!
O/u: 4.5
Keep your stick on the ice...
Guessing the actual over under would be 3.5 of the 7 making it to game 7.
Not surprised, I think for my bracket Colorado and Calgary were the only one I had being a 5 game series (CO ended in 4). The others I had six or more, so not shocked by this many game 6’s. Usually even in lopsided series I account for goalies stealing at least one game though I didn’t realize Saros was injured. Also Oettinger with a .960 sv% is clearly why that series is close.
First time since 2012 Florida leads a playoff series…

But nobody rips them for their inherent traits of being a woman like you just did.I hope you don’t have any daughters.
Good to see Calgary come back in the third period and take game 5 vs Dallas, 3-1.

Did I hear correctly that before they scored their first they'd gone over 150 minutes of game time at home without scoring? That's nuts.

Out of curiosity, what mentioned above are traits inherent only to women?

Yeah - streaky didn't say anything about driving or doing math.
I keed, I keed.

Talking about female announcers... what happened to Gigi Marvin on BSN. She seemed to have disappeared. Haven't seen her do a Wild game with in the studio or press box for a while. I liked her take on the game and what see brought to the press box.

I think it was less. Hextall brought it up to start the 3rd. So I looked it up...
Game 1: Only goal @ 10:03 in the 2nd (29:47 minutes)
Game 2: Shutout (60:00 minutes)
Game 5: First goal @ 6:49 in the 3rd (46:49 minutes)
So what's that... 136:46 if my math is correct. Still nuts.

Maybe because Audra is available more now that the twolves are toast? Not sure why, but I liked Gigi too!

Doesn't Audra have the Twins?

Yeah, Gigi is an analyst, so I guess Audra doesn’t effect things as much, we’ve obviously seen a steady diet of Parrish, Ryan Carter & Walz recently…
Major letdown by Tampa in the last minute of the 2nd period
Looking like at least 1 game 7 on Saturday so far
Tampa misses a wide open net to take the lead with 3 minutes left
Tampa forces game 7 in Toronto Saturday
Tripleheader of game 7s on Sat…nice!

Could be 1, 2 or 3 game 7's on Sunday as well!!!

Should've post this in this thread... not the Wild Playoff thread.
Still not a fan of the current playoff format. Been this way for 8-10 years. It should be seed the teams 1-8 in each conference. Not this play with in your division for the first 2 rounds.

She does not have enough volume in her voice to fill the microphone (other announcers do); she does hit an obnoxious high note when she gets excited (other announcers don't); and she does go long periods without calling out names (other announcers don't). Moreover, any of the criticisms I leveled against her may be shared by others and might equally apply to men.
Everything I wrote is an honestly held opinion about her job performance and has nothing at all to do with her gender. YOU made that silly extrapolation.
You go on trying to repackage responses to fit your baseless narrative, but keep your speculation about my family to yourself. You're out of line.

Agreed especially when certain divisions are stacked while others are dogshit (everyone besides Calgary in pacific). You often have a first round matchup between two teams that have no chance next round while two teams that could be in conference finals face off round 2 (Colorado and Vegas last year). Given that schedules are already uneven in terms of difficulty due to divisions you already have an imperfect system but ensuring divisional matchups kinda compounds the issue.
Rangers-Pens will be going to game 7
NHL player safety and reffing is a fucking joke.
Epic game 6 between Caps-Panthers. Tied 1-1 after two periods. Caps go ahead 2-1, Florida then ties it and goes ahead 3-2 with 5:43 left. Washington pulls the goalie, gets a PP and Oshie ties it up with 1:03 remaining. On to OT.
