Agreed, not a recipe for long term success, but if they had held it to 0-0, and gotten a goal off a rush late in 3rd or OT to steal it, they'd be going home up 2-0 with the Pens having had zero answers.

Rumors are Efron is going to star as Ted Bundy in a new dark movie about Bundy told from the viewpoint of his girlfriend. Not sure how the fuck Efron is going to have the acting chops to pull that off...he's actually been pretty great in the pure lewd comedies lately, but playing a serial...

They have just enough talent to get to Round 2, but in the NBA, only 2-3 teams with any real shot of winning it all, Wizards aren't in that group, and not likely to make Conf Finals. Btw @Uber Uberest here you go bro.

To be fair, the plan to hold the fort and frustrate the Pens was working for almost the entire game. Honestly though Anderson should have stopped the Kessel goal, he just couldn't reset after the original shot block. They were just hoping for another moment of magic like Ryan's OT winner.

Playing at home should give them a boost. Hell they got the split in Pittsburgh and held the Pens to 2 goals in over 2 games. Can't say it's not working to some degree. But they need to generate more offense like they were in G1.

The shootout scene was supposed to be their version of the crazy single take shot from S1 with MM. It didn't live up to that standard, but it was okay for what it was. I think VV tried hard and did well with some parts, but as others noted, the dialogue was almost universally terrible. Some...

In the Celtics' defense, Wizards were pretty damn great at home this year.

Trap works...until you trap yourselves. Fuck Ottawa for making it so damn unwatchable, too.

Hahaha, I'll put this up soon as I get home later today. Btw, told you the Wizards were going to have issues...can't win on the road.

This guy is unreal.

I know I was just kidding. This is partly why Boucher and his 1-3-1 are so damn frustrating. It works way more than it should. Like watching the Devils in their prime.

I don't think cheering for the Senators is doing the smart thing in the long run at all.

Jian Yang so good.

Liverpool looked strong as fuck, I think they're fine to beat 'Boro and lock it up.

As much as we talk about the trades that have happened, sometimes I wish we could hear about all the "almost done" trades that never did happen...which would have completely changed the landscape of the league. Hell not just the NBA either, draft day trades in NFL that don't happen that would...

Lets not change history. Minnesota had Sprewell turn down an extension, they traded Cassel, and they missed the playoffs 3 straight years before they eventually were in the situation where they wanted to move Garnett for futures. He actually would have ended up on the Warriors (of all places)...

And yet, couldn't hack it as the alpha on the best team in the league when he left, had to surround himself with other all stars to put up those numbers when it counted...in the East no less. Gutting his hometown team to do so. All well before Durant ever left OKC.

They were not a better team the year before Lebron left. The 2nd part of this post is amazing "They have the cap room due to good timing and moves on the part of their GM, but should decline on the option of making their team better". For ref, the Cavs payroll gap between them and #2 is...

Being up 3-1 doesn't mean you won the series. Just ask the Warriors how that went in the Finals last year. Cavs lost in 2nd round that year mostly because Lebron went 11 for 35 from the field over Games 5 and 6. Couldn't cut it as alpha when it counted, went full beta to Miami.

Akron...not Cleveland. Get the fuck out of here Gaige, I can buy all the rest of the bias, but come the fuck on. Which major city is Akron closest too. This shit is laughable. Sorry, I think it's more beta to already BE the alpha on the team with the best record (despite these "oh they were...

No he ran crying to Wade leaving the team with the best record in the league 2 years running because he couldn't get it done on that team even...Durant left a worse team to go to a better team.

To say they bought a ring is premature...they haven't won it yet, and it's not like the team didn't win it 2 years ago and go to Game 7 in the Finals without him. Also, this wasn't some premeditated plan for multiple guys to move around, fuck over their hometown team, etc. A free agent went to...

I was looking at it as "I'm going to become a free agent and join/make a super team to chase a ring/s". I don't get the "despite them winning 73 games and having 3 All Stars already" part. He left a worse team to go to a better team? Forgive me, I think stabbing your home team in the back...

Granted, it was still early, but even with Leonard getting hurt, that lead is too big to give up. Not over yet though, can go up 3 here.

Trade v. free agent?

He's not the first to do it. I don't think it's a good look for him at all, but this is the reality that was created by others before him.

Lol Spurs if they blow this game.

I think some of it is just a realization that the roster was built for this 2 year "window" and whatever else was going on, this group actually really liked playing together. Oshie I think really wishes he could stay, but knows the money isn't going to be there (and I'd be leery of giving him...

Yeah especially if they're up against the other magic team right now, Nashville. Lol @ NBC execs if we get a Ottawa/Nashville final.

Eh, I think they're still pretty big underdogs, and this was always the narrative for whoever was going to come out of the Atlantic. They've certainly proven they have a bit of magic going, though. Not sure I still believe they can actually win that series.

Always great to see the Pens lose. Still don't know how Ottawa is doing this. 6-1 in OT's now.

Nashville just has it right now. Getting the timely scoring, when their top line is going they're hard to stop, even when they weren't last series, their D men chip in a good bit of offense. And they're solid at the back. You wonder how the hell they were 16th of the 16 playoff teams.

Can't believe they had two DOG penalties in a row.

The only things we really learned in S2 was that 99% of Vince Vaughn's dialogue was terrible, with 1% being golden. Colin Farrel was the only reason to actually watch. And Astro can have a hard time at understanding obvious plot points.

NHL already had a pretty good ratings series with Caps/Pens. I think worst case for them would be Nasville/Ottawa at this point.

I think Ducks getting over that Game 7 hump is big for them, but I just don't know. Nashville is solid as hell when they're getting that production from their top line, along with their D (seriously their D has put up some points in the playoffs). If Rinne continues his play I think Preds win...

Thing is, he sort of has that moment where he lets Brienne go and waves to her. He just explains that he will do whatever is necessary to protect those he loves. That's where the crux will be, when he gets back to King's Landing, and Cersei has killed/let die everyone...does he see what she...

Kuznetsov and Orlov to Worlds for Russia...no Ovechkin though, lower body injury. Said he didn't want to let the team down, was said he was playing on pain-killer injections in playoffs. I'm assuming the Kadri hit.

Not sure we'll get as far. That roster is going to look a lot different. Can pretty much say bon voyage to at least Williams, Alzner, Shattenkirk, Winnik...potentially Oshie too. Likely Grubauer in the expansion draft, too.
