    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    They got him for some unsportsmanlike whatever when he high sticked someone after the whistle in the 2nd (basically the exact same thing he did in the 2nd period of Game 2 to Mantha, only this time the refs didn't send the Capital along to even it out for no reason whatsoever), which Ovechkin...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I just can't get up in arms about something that wasn't called in a playoff OT. Tim Peel stuff in full effect, it's pretty obvious when the whistles get put away in playoff games sometimes late in the 3rd and especially in OT's.

    Eh, Marchand is going to Marchand. Slashes after the whistle you just have to expect from him. They don't call anything in overtime unless guys are bleeding on the ice.

    Frankly we dominated them in the 3rd, Dowd was just a moron and handed them another PP. Most Caps way to lose a game ever.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I swear Nic Dowd just decided to high stick a Bruin at center ice for no reason just because we're contractually obligated to go to OT every game.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    I don't know if this is quite the same when KC mostly just needed healthy starters. Down 4 starters out of 5 on the OL and having at least a backup or two out due to injury/opt out made it even worse. Also Hill and Kelce suddenly forgetting how to catch the ball in the biggest game of the year.

    Yeah I don't know if he'll be ready for this playoff run, but he's been checking all the boxes. Maybe he is the plan if they trade Kuzy this offseason.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Still not convinced they're "done" with Kuzy. They might just have gotten to a point where they will listen to offers and consider whether they could make a deal they like (or if the cap space itself is just worth it to have/spend differently). But I totally agree that we can't go anywhere in...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Calais Campbell made that point recently about one and done versus 7 game series, saying it was harder to win a Super Bowl than an NBA title because of it. Makes sense at least from that perspective. In basketball better team is almost always going to win out over 7 games. There are aspects...

    @Obsidian Sounds like Eller and Kuzy might both be in tonight.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    So much of baseball comes down to interaction between pitcher and hitter, as well. Hockey is another sport where analytics are starting to scratch the surface, but they're still not able to take in the whole picture yet. Shot quality in hockey is such a slippery thing to measure accurately.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    There's definitely a lot of noise in football analytics in certain areas. But a lot of it is far better than usual stuff like passer rating, or stuff like RB's running behind the worst line in the league only looking at their raw yards/carry stat, etc.

    Gotta worry about Eller being out now, do they put Kuznetsov back in after only a couple days of practice after being off the ice for 2 weeks?

    Nice shot by Marchand to end it. Oh well, need to get at least 1 up in Boston.

    How that Bruins 3rd goal started is Exhibit Whatever Real High Number of why I can never think Carlson deserves a Norris.

    Hey as long as the refs call him for it, he can sit in the box as much as he wants!

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Maybe it's because I've watched too many Caps game I just expect the refs to look to even it up every chance they can get.

    Sure would be great if we could not make simple turnovers that end up in our net. Not sure what Anderson was doing on that first goal against, though.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    You might have had the most space used, though. Technically the league could challenge if he was well enough to have played before the regular season ended...it's just kind of let go that all of these guys for teams over the years are for sure not well enough to play right up until after the...

    It doesn't even help in Eureka anymore they removed the old mount requirements there I thought? There's really nothing being able to haul around 8 people does for you that is any sort of "pay to win"

    "World of Warcraft used to be a game that made you want to waste your time. Now it's just a game that wastes your time." Damn, that's pretty poetic from someone like Asmon.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Think "routine" is underselling a bit. Even Pageau's release point is just top of the circle and it's about as top corner a snipe as it can be without going in off the iron. Palmieri by the time the puck actually leaves is stick is well inside the circle. You read Pittsburgh blogs they're...

    I'll root for that if Caps get eliminated. This Florida/Tampa game is great already. This series is going to be good shit, too. Round 1 is just so fucking good always, games on all day, big rivalries, OT playoff hockey...what more could you want?

    Part of me wants to see a Colorado v Vegas series, because it would be phenomenal. Hard to root against Minnesota, though.

    I didn't get to watch the whole game, only saw some highlights, were they that bad? Looked like some top shelf snipes other than the one the guy shot through Letang.

    Less Isles fans complaining now, that's for sure. Although Wahlstrom has been in the lineup, too, so less of the reason why they were mad in the first place. The only other thing I could have wanted from that game would have been multiple OT's but whatever.

    Zero surprise both Game 1's in the East go to OT. Both these series could go long.

    Yeah if you had told me Vanecek went down in the 1st and Craig Anderson came in, I wouldn't have thought we had a chance. Carlson and Oshie are clearly not 100%, either.

    I don't lose mettle in there, actually hit rank 14 and 15 from doing my relic runs in DR. Once you've seen the fights, should rarely if ever die, and they award you mettle at the end that more than makes up for all of it. The 36 alliance raids did kind of suck, but once it is done, you never...

    Caps need to get off to a good start at home. Take advantage when we have last chance against that top line, because they're going to be murder up in Boston with whatever match up they want.
