Guessing Malkin would want at least 3 years in the $9-$10 M/year for his next contract, at a minimum? He's playing his cards by letting everyone know he can play in Russia for significant money. I'd be surprised if he decided to play in Russia next season.

Panthers in deep doo doo.
0 fer 25 on the power play.

Then a huge mistake as time was almost out and BAM! TB puts one in the net with .9 ticks left and they are down 2-0, at home. Game 3, on TB’s ice; is huge for them!

They've run into a team that's "Been There, Done That". They'll continue to improve, though. Players want to play there. Finally!

+1 Larry. The first round is always my favorite since there are 4 games every night and exciting to watch the upsets... unless of course your team makes it to the second round and then that gets more intense from a personal perspective.

I miss the Battle of Quebec, the "Battle of the Breweries". I loved the Nordiques, "Back in the Day". Best jerseys in NHL history.
