Foligno down the runway bleeding. He blocked Duchene's shot and Foligno's head must have hit the ice when Duchene fell on him. Duchene came back and punched him. They called a major because they saw the blood and didn't know why, then rescind it completely and not even call the minor despite Duchene coming back and punching him well after the play while he was bleeding. You cannot make this stuff up.
Habs-Lightning is at 7 p.m.
Bruins-Sabres is at 7:30.
ESPN has both games. It works fine.
So please explain why fans in the Central Time Zone have to wait until 8:52 p.m. (again) tomorrow night when there's just one earlier game? God forbid a kid watch a hockey game.
Stars… 2nd place in Central (112 pts)
Wild… 3rd place in Central (104 pts)
Mammoth… 4th place in Central (92 pts)
Stars & Wild have to play each other.
Mammoth get to play the 95-point VGK.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Dallas Stars Matt Duchene called out the NHL’s playoff format, arguing the divisional system forces top teams into early matchups and needs to be fixed.

A little perspective for those in "panic" mode:
Wild 3-4-2 in last nine. +2 goal diff in those games. 4 of 9 vs non-playoff teams
Avs had a 3-5-2 stretch. -7 diff. 5 of 10 vs non-playoff
Stars had a 2-6-4 stretch. -11 diff. 4 of 12 vs non-playoff
Even the best hit bumps!
