I know this was announced last week, and I apologize if it has been posted elsewhere, but one of my favorite sites, CapFriendly has been purchased by the Caps and will be going away in July. It was a great resource. 

The Washington Capitals reached a deal to buy CapFriendly, a popular site that has long been a source of NHL salary information and will soon no longer be available to other teams or fans. General manager Brian MacLellan confirmed the agreement in a statement Wednesday.

I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.

I hear you and I have been in mourning since I heard the news. It baffles me that NHL Central Registry doesn't have an internal website like CapFriendly for all the teams to avoid situations like the Evgeni Dadonov trade. Yet another thing the NHL struggles with..

Puckpedia.com has a lot of the same information.  Not as easy to navigate as capfriendly, but it isn't too bad.

Why would Washington buy it just to shut it down?

Per Washington GM Brian MacLellan on the Seravalli podcast--

They used it and was afraid it would go away.  They then decided to buy CapFriendly and hire its staff to expand the Caps analytics department and have access to it 100% of the time.

After one period Edmonton 1 Florida 0, shots Edmonton 11, Florida 2.

The 2 shots reminded me of this

EDM seemed to constantly be buzzing, the puck control is crazy right now. They are definitely getting shots through, even though they are not necessarily on net.

I thought it was inconclusive, I wouldn't have overturned it. But then again, one reason I'm on a couch and not in a booth. 😉

Edmonton scores 36 seconds into the 2nd period to go up 2-0.

Florida seems to scores seconds later but the play is ruled off sides on review and the Florida coach is LIVID!!!

He repeatedly yelled at the ref "No Fu*king Way" 😲 

The call was REALLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY close. Could have gone either way.

I expected it should be inconclusive, meaning it would be overturned.  I was right.  😂

When @cowgirl teaches the Gopher student section is she going to teach them the anti ref chants like 

Hey Ref get off your knees you're (I wouldn't finish it). Those who know know and those who don't are too young to know. Hehe I kid.

My favorite was at Old Mariucci when the band would play Three Blind Mice for the Refs. 😀 At that time there was only 1 ref with the 2 linesmen.

Poor refs always getting picked on. As fans we often forget it is a totally thankless job and if nobody did it there would be no games for us to enjoy.

Oil cannot go into a shell, that plays into Florida's forechecking strength.

3 min left, when that happens, if score is still 3-1, it's turtle time.

Florida successfully kills off their power play. Yes I said what I meant to say.

Florida's power play is struggling soooooo much it is a success for them when they don't give up a shorty. The first goal in both game 4 and game 5 was an Edmonton shorty.

Credit definitely needs to be given to the Oilers PK they are on FIRE killing off 46 of the last 47 times they've been shorthanded.

Edmonton has been buzzing and controlling the play ever since the 3rd period of game 4. Florida gets the spurts, the Edmonton weathers the storm.

Game 7 here we come!!!

while I do enjoy seeing a home team win, I kind of want to see Edmonton complete the 0-3 comeback to take it all.    

so which opposite do you want? 😆

With two empty netters making it 5-1 we are less than 3 minutes of game time away from a game 7 for the CUP!!!!

The last time a team battled back from 3 games to none down in the Cup final to force a game 7 was 1945.

Maybe if we ask nicely @Greyeagle will tell us about that game 7. 😉

Go Oil. Rocked the Bob Essensa jersey tonight, but I do have a Georges Laraque as backup. 😉

Part of me hope the series ends on an OT PP goal because of a puck getting fiipped over the boards.

Given how abysmal the Florida PP is it also means the Oil will hoist Stan.

Vancouver rioted after they lost game 7 of the Cup final so does this mean Edmonton riots win or lose after game 7? 🤔
