And the Wild are right there with 'em. Horrid start to the season.

Paging Viva...

This year does seem to be particularly bad, but it's the same litany as previous year's - the rules change in the playoffs, the ref's don't want to impact the game, it's playoff hockey, etc, etc. The...

And the Wild, once again, can't catch a break nor figure out how to keep the puck on their sticks. God-awful special teams play and no scoring depth doomed this playoff run.

Loved their coach basically throwing the whole team under the bus for their piss-poor effort. Should make for a very interesting off-season in Winnipeg.

Well, now you don't have option either. With any luck, you won't have to switch to the Twinkies for another series, but only if the Wild can fix their special teams. Beginning to think they're...

Oettinger and the Ref's steal the game from the Wild. :mad:

Rangers with their Rent-a-player moves certainly not the team that they were for most of the season. Devils looking far too much like the young team that lacks playoff experience. The Wild played...

#3 - must be pretty cold water.

Fine. Guess it's not snowing where you are. Ullr is certainly happy here.

At the quarter mark and it's been a shaky start for the home team. Not unexpected. Getting the Flower was a bad trade and the Suter/Parise was a great pickup at a horrible price that everyone knew...

Great to see that the mountains are opening up for the season!

And we'll see on Wednesday if the Bolt's are really going to make a series of this.

So Vegas is listing the Ave's as a slight favorite to win the cup, but most of the talking heads ("experts") I've heard think the Bolts will three-peat. Reason: experience and goaltending.

Nicely on point for Flag Day! Stand up and salute!

And chanting "Norm Green sucks!" whenever the Stars come to play at the X.

edit: The Ave's booked their trip to the finals when Kadri took out Binnington in round 2, IMO.

One game SHOULD be the duration. Edmonton has shown they don't have any defense nor any goaltending to answer the Ave's attack. If Smith can avoid giving up the one to two soft goals a game he's...

Don't know the Avs intentions when they signed Kuemper as a free agent but he had established himself as the #1 goalie in Arizona and he's been the starter for most of the season with Francouz as the...

Defense? We don't need no stinking defense! Now tonight, one would expect a 1-0 in overtime score with these two goalies. With any of these 4 remaining teams, the Cup finals seem to be setting up...

Likewise, watched McKinnon go all Bobby Orr and do this end to end rush for a goal, absolutely incredible, and thought that's it, once again, the best Blues efforts will go for naught. Turned the...

Oilers return the favor last night. Flames can't seem to find a way to play defense. Mc. vs. Mc. in the West Finals? Let's see what the Blues can muster in game 4.

Binnington stands on his head, gets the lucky bounces, and the Blues still lose. Game 1 was theirs to steal. Binnington may make it a series but it's hard not to pencil in Colorado as the West...

Whenever you're ready, Paloma thanks you for your support.

Isn't it supposed to be 4 motorcycles across?

Just to help you show your support for Ukraine:

Starting with Guerin putting Flower in net to start the series - always go with the hot goalie in the playoffs and Talbot was the better goalie down the stretch. He should have had the game 1 start....

Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.

Oh well, a touch of grey
Kinda suits you anyway
And that was all I had to say
'cause it's alright.

If the Aves-Pred's series goes beyond 4 games, it will either be cause the Aves want to win the series in game 5 at home or some bookie has put the fix in.

Please, sir, I want some more.

And the playoffs are here! Looks like some good series in the opening round. The Wild-Blues should be a good one. Wild are playing well, but have struggled against the Blues this season. Colorado...

Well, the Wild play better D than the Hawks right now which should help. Love how Guerin has gone on and on about not ransoming the future to win today then trades away draft picks and our top...

The right wax job is so important.

and now I'm praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive

Yowsa!

None of the above

Well done, Viva. Well done indeed!

Now this is a golf swing(er)

My Aunt and Uncle were on their way into New York with friends that morning. They were stopped outside the city and told to turn around. Got this photo on their way back out. Never Forget.

I do like the nicely trimmed foliage ready for Fall

:D:D

Wait.... Jesus was Rastafarian???

Yup

Lead in to story:

On April 11, Daunte Wright was murdered by police during a traffic stop. The following days and weeks were filled with righteous anger, pain, and purposeful resolve to see a...

Nice haul, Viva! Definitely willing to assist any of them!

Similar story here. When the time comes, you'll know. If you haven't seen the vet recently, do so. We found out that our dog had cancer, treatment wasn't going to prolong her life, so we enjoyed...

They seem like they'd make a nice pair

Could use the same line on most of Viva's pic's.

Had a woman in the shop like this. Insisted on wearing her hair piled on top of her head and couldn't understand why she couldn't find a helmet that fit her properly.
