Everyone Stop Freaking Out About This Please

Former Panthers' teammates Nick Cousins and Anthony Stolarz are the talk of the town...

This is playoff hockey folks, can we untwist our panties from a bunch after this moment happened pre-game in Sens-Leafs?!?!?

What is the major concern here, these are two guys who were teammates last season in Florida and more than likely have a friendly relationship. Leafs are up 2-0 in the series (I'm so sorry Brett, Hannah, Mark, and UHAUL, you know my thoughts are with you during these sad times) and Cousins looked at it like all players would and is trying to throw Stolarz off his game.

Yet, the entire world of the internet is siding with the Leafs and asking for Cousins to be put under a guillotine for all the village people to see. He didn't rip a chin-high slapshot at the guy. He didn't pull his skate from under him. He didn't even flick the puck at Stolarz that hard when he did do it. Those that are against Cousins should have their playoff hockey privileges revoked for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs and potentially even have a Zoom meeting with NHL player safety like players do when they are deciding on a suspension.

As an Oilers fan right now we are all sitting on literal pins and needles going into Game 3 tonight so we understand the situation of being down 2-0 like Senators fans. COREY PERRY, EVANDER KANE, VASILY PODKOLZIN, one of you manly men pretty, pretty please, do something, ANYTHING, pre-game to throw Darcy Kuemper through a mental spiral so we have a fighting chance to pot a few goals and take Game 3 at home.
