it's headed to a 5th OT.

this is game 1. BOS/CAR are waiting to play after this game ends.

2 minute minor for icing.

no call on a guy getting hauled down from behind on a breakaway, during the ensuing power play.


sometimes i forget how much i hate the NHL.

i think korpisalo has lost 10 pounds during this game.

same I wanted toronto or montreal lol. They are playing amazing hockey. I think if they won that 5OT they had the series. Going to be really tough to come back from that against a skilled team. They can still do it though

The toughest challenge I’ve faced as a coach is taking a team that’s performing poorly and turning it around. I’ve done it three times now.
...
Those turnarounds taught me a fundamental lesson about leadership: You have to be honest with people—brutally honest. You have to tell them the truth about their performance, you have to tell it to them face-to-face, and you have to tell it to them over and over again. Sometimes the truth will be painful, and sometimes saying it will lead to an uncomfortable confrontation. So be it. The only way to change people is to tell them in the clearest possible terms what they’re doing wrong. And if they don’t want to listen, they don’t belong on the team.

some words of wisdom from bill parcels.
