I don't doubt what you say, I just don't understand is all.
    Same reason as other Canadian markets (weather aside):

    1. Taxes
    2. US-born spouses who don't want to live in a "foreign" country
    3. 24/7/365 spotlight

    I don't blame them, I wouldn't want to live under a microscope either. That's the way it is.

      As good as Oduya was to end the regular season he has been equally awful since the playoffs started.

      That was pathetic and that should do it for this game and likely the series.

        You're obviously unfamiliar with the history of the Jets/Coyotes franchise when it comes to holding 3-1 series leads.

          Hopefully history works in our favor, can't see this team fighting back especially without Hossa.

            That was the longest 9.5 seconds ever. Hometown clock wasn't very kind.

              I wonder if Braden Holtby is the real deal or if he's just going to pull a Varlamov and eventually come back to reality.

              Crazy performance regardless. His glove hand was ridiculous.

                To be fair all of Boston's shots tonight were wide open weak point shots for most of the night. I think they had all of 4 hits in the entire game. Once that first goal went in on the non call for Ovechkin's interference on Captain Planet I had a feeling they'd lose this one.

                  Varly is going to be a top 5 goalie if he keeps on improving.

                  But really though, this doesn't surprise me. I always thought Holtby was going to be their best goalie, better than Neuvirth and Varlamov. Wasn't a fan of Neuvirth's skills and Varlamov's groins (injury isuses).

                            Yeah this series is taking years off my life, gotta win this one.

                            Pretty sure my neighbors are thinking I'm bipolar after this one, angrily throwing around profanity one minute and cheering the next.

                              Crawford isn't good.

                                That was a terrible goal that Crawford allowed. Boedker is so skilled, should have more than 11goals and 13 assist on the year.
