As we've rehashed a million times...guess it depends how we define "superteam". If we're calling that Boston team a super team, despite finishing bottom of the Eastern Conference the year before, and trading for two aging stars (giving up a ton of players/assets to do so ) from 2 teams that...
Not jinxing shit. Athletes damned if they don't answer questions, damned if they do.
Vegas could easily win tonight, still haven't seen Fleury steal a game in this series. Have a hard time thinking he's going to play like he did for 3 rounds than not steal at least one game in the Finals...
It's insane when you consider how much everyone was raving over Lebron's 51 in Game 1 which had OT as well. Durant only scored 8 less points on 9 less shots and 4 less free throws.
Have to agree with Ambi here. Minnesota had traded Cassell previously, too, and was at tail end of a few bad years. They were ready to try and get a package for Garnett and reload when they moved him.
Well we all know how William will make it, at least for a little while longer. His daughter will catch up to him, and they'll at least have a face to face. Maybe she lets him die or kills him at that point, who knows.
It's funny that a lot of guys are stepping up in these playoffs (and towards the end of the regular season) that weren't having their best years up until like mid February. Oshie, Niskanen, even Backstrom to a degree...have all stepped up huge. Even guys like Vrana and Burakovsky. We might...
We still suck on odd man rushes. It's pretty crazy how many goals we could have scored in these playoffs if we were better converting those. You'd think the guy who never says no to shooting opportunity would shoot more on 2 on 1's.
It would be amazing to win it at home in Game 6, but frankly...
The Neal miss is super lucky...and Neal just choking hard. Their other post would have been a crazy bounce off guy in front who knew nothing about it.
Crazy job taking advantage of the chances we did have though. Hilarious watching their D overplay Kuznetsov and Ovechkin so much that Wilson...
You're just starting to believe at 2-1 series lead in the Finals? Don't get me wrong, Fleury could go on super acid (as opposed to the regular acid he was on last night with some of the robbery he was pulling even in a loss) and we could lose this series, but the way the team is playing, we're...
leave it to these refs to ignore Vegas player literally put his stick between skate boot and blade of Orlov to trip him up in our end, but then call a penalty on our own player tripping Backstrom up in their end.
It's gone both ways, thank goodness Kuznetsov scored his goal, otherwise we'd be about 0 for 4 on odd man rushes again. I swear in that period was the 2nd 3 on 1 chance of the series where Eller just fires it high and wide.
I thought MAF was still in the blue, just barely. Felt like DSP could have avoided any contact pretty easily, too. Just lack of awareness in that spot. Right call imo.
Yeah I figured that out later when they couldn't use their skins in the actual matches. Kind of sucked, but at least they had downtime to go on the live servers to show them off
I found Miami Connection a couple of years ago for a buddy of mine who is a HUGE 80's action guy, literally had every movie of guys like Arnold/Stallone/Seagal/etc. Still haven't watched it myself, but he said it's so epic bad that it's good.
Btw, has anyone brought up Best of the Best? Didn't...
Yup, that's my contention. Or just that if we're pointing out luck plays a factor in a home and away in the CL, it also can in the league cup when you're playing your depth guys.
A lot can happen over 38 games with injuries, teams resting guys for CL ties (and when you go further than everyone else, you are more likely to do this). Ronaldo only played in 27 league matches this year I believe? Bringing up the Copa Del Ray loss when neither Ronaldo nor Bale played in...
Still think they got the block call right in the end, but Smith is just a dumb fuck. Cavs should have been able to call timeout and have a shot with about 4 seconds left. No guarantee they score, but not sure I'd bet against Lebron on that in these playoffs. At least get the chance that you...
Question is will he manage better than the .500 record he has previously when scoring 40+ in Finals games.
Warriors wasting a lot of possessions since going up 6 earlier.
Believe me it's not some conspiracy. Never assume that when simple stupidity and incompetence explains it...and it does with NHL refereeing. We've had it rough this playoff run, but that's nothing new. I'm happy we've increased our PP average per game over our last 5 playoff games to 1.
Kind of looks like it's going to be a full on hit but Pens guy dodges and he just catches side/legs. Karlsson looking at nothing but numbers the whole way. I'd call both trips, probably. In the regular season I bet both get called. Given the playoff officiating, I'm not surprised both got...
Eh...I don't think it's that bitter with 3 straight CL titles and 4th in 5 years. I think they know they're losing Ronaldo/Bale or both and wanted a fresh start either way.
