    2017 NHL Playoffs Thread

    Eh, I suppose that's true. Business seemed to pick up in the playoff thread last year. I feel like we're missing some people, though. Eomer still completely ghosted? I figured he'd be flooding the thread with McDavid spurg.

    That time of year again. Kind of sucks we missed out on Battle of Ontario and Battle of Alberta in Round 1, but some potential Round 2 match ups could be amazing. Montreal v. Boston potential, Caps v. Pens, Chicago v. St. Louis, Anaheim v. San Jose, Edmonton v. Calgary. Pens v. Jackets...

    Eh, if it wasn't the Pens, it would have been Columbus resting guys against Toronto today. Or the Isles just winning too.

    That was so bad last night. One Toronto blog site had a view of it where he literally jumped sideways on his own to make sure he contacted Anderson.

    Wilson also has his narrative rep that the refs have reffed to. He hits a lot more than Kreider, and ~200 of those PIMs are from extra fighting majors Wilson has that Kreider does not. Any claim that Kreider isn't the most likely guy on the ice in any game he's involved in to run the opposing...

    Kreider probably got several lessons in legal hitting last night. I think it's funny you guys have to play Montreal where their media will constantly bring up his running of goalies while they fail to project their force field around national treasure Carey Price. Caps didn't look like they...

    NHL can suck a bag of dicks for saying no the Olympics. In the end, despite complaints, it's all on the owners being shitty. Hope the league doesn't try to pull any bullshit to prevent Leonsis from letting Ovechkin go play.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    All of a sudden I'm a super Romo fan. Simms was worst guy on TV. I still think a lot of Romo's stats were inflated, especially stuff like the 4th quarter rating when he's putting up big yards in garbage time. But he was a very good NFL starter for a stretch of years and you'll always wonder...

    Well. That's one way for the U.S. to completely erase those first 2 losses (and that goal differential as well). If they manage a win on the road in Panama Tuesday night ship will be completely righted in less than a week's time.

    Wait...prioritize mechanics and you choose...8? Felt like 6 and 9's story/stuff to do tailed off earlier than most of the other games (6 WoR is frankly pretty boring...for 9 things really slow down after you leave the Mist Continent, just not as many actual things to do outside of it aside from...

    Any new news on 7 remake? Also since people were doing lists again: VII > VI = Tactics > X = IV > IX > XII > VIII > I > XIII. Never played 2,3, or 5.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Actually with his rushing yards as well I think he had some pretty good weeks for people last year, even on that shit team.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Well you just lost those guys (or traded in the case of Zuttah) this offseason. Have to see how draft turns out before you worry too much. O line and receiver need to be on the list though.

    I didn't say playing through "injuries". We all know guys play through things that are minor all the time and we just say the guy is playing "banged up". We've been lucky as hell to avoid the bad stuff this year outside of Oshie missing some games, and Burakovsky's hand thing (although even...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Well...that's not exactly where I was going with it to be honest. I don't think he's worthless at all. Just noting the discrepancy in attempts for certain QB's in certain offenses. Flacco did set his career high in yardage this year, and really he hasn't had a full strength, decent WR group...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    In reality though, he's only had over 331 attempts TWICE in his entire career. 478 being his top. Compare that to a guy like Flacco, who never had a 4,000 yard season in his career until this past year (on 672 passing attempts), and you see Flacco has never had less attempts that Kaep's peak...

    Eh. I don't think it's even worth a fine to be honest. While I think guys like the espn analysts overstate how regular an occurrence stuff like that is, it's not exactly rare, either. Should have been a 2 minute call, tops. I find equal amusement in Buffalo fans freaking out about how he...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Yeah as much as I want to chuckle at the characterization This would only be amusing if Rahim Moore were still on the Broncos so Flacco could thank him for everything he's bought for himself since 2012 playoffs. But, more seriously, what would the Ravens do then? As Gankak notes, it's not a...

    Pretty sick goal by Sid last night (yes, the defense and goaltending was...something, but to get that much force and lift one-handed on the backhand is just downright impressive). Just slightly more impressive than going undetected with that nut shot to ROR. People asking for a suspension from...

    Toronto with a big win tonight, and Edmonton looks well on their way to one as well. Gotta be honest will be pretty cool if Matthews and McDavid are both in the playoffs.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Honestly it all depends on what happens with Cousins. He could even have a very good year here with Pryor, and we could still be following Scot's draft board and help the D out and be competitive...but if Cousins ends up leaving and we have to start from scratch at QB while Allen has control of...

    Pretty crazy when you think about the fact that 4 of the top 5 teams in the league are in the Metro (and 1-3). By definition at least one of the top 3 teams in the league will lose in the 1st round, and another would be eliminated in 2nd round. I love the division playoffs for the rivalries it...

    Sterling's overall play was very good, it just felt like every time he had to make that final pass or play the final ball into a dangerous area the quality was lacking every time. Not shocked at all that City's goal came from a great ball from De Bruyne. The Lallana miss was...something...

    Some of his team need to be a little more ruthless with their chances. Not sure if I can watch Sterling make more great runs followed by dogshit balls he tries to cross into the box. Although Liverpool was suffering from the same shit late in the game today too. People wonder why Ibra still...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Yeah, that's why I noted it would still be a better result than him walking eventually for what will be at most a 3rd round compensatory pick. I'm praying we sign him long term, and The Danny stops acting like a moron and hires a new GM free from Bruce Allen's oversight and bullshit. It's...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    If we trade him, regardless of the treasure trove of picks we get, we're worse as a team. Without the QB it's basically starting back at square one. I guess we could get lucky and draft one (although this class doesn't look great), but considering we fired the best talent guy we had for...

    Was a nice goal. Reminded me of Carlson's whack out of mid air last night for us. Also I was more whining about Rags fans whining about calls. We'll just get whatever we get and hope our PP doesn't go missing in the playoffs. Starting to look pretty good with Shattenkirk on it. Nick...

    Bah. Cali road trips only go one way for the Caps. Shit if we ever came out of those 3 games with 5 or 6 points I'd be worried something really weird was going to happen.

    The Wilson shit just needs to die. It's literally opposing fans regurgitating a narrative at this point. He's out to make hard, clean hits. He crosses the line sometimes, but he's not out trying to injure people. Dude has never been suspended, people just salty Caps actually have a banger...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Surprised no one mentioned the Skins nabbing Pryor, even if just a 1 year deal. Because it's a CHEAP one year deal. Kid is raw, but I think he has potential to be a true #1. A lot less pressure on Doctson this year now to replace Garcon/Jackon's production. Cousins will have 6'4 Pryor, 6'2...

    Yeah there are all sorts of rumors flying from him falling off the wagon to a power struggle at the top...you know...all the shit we DON'T need this offseason. We did extend Gruden, which is okay I guess. Not sure it needed to be done now, but might help in negotiations with Cousins...

    Tom Wilson. And if you mean clean, hard hits, then yeah. Sorry I've been away awhile Stoic, but Rangers fans whining about that game was epic. Little pussies take a couple of hits and cry anything done to them is illegal, meanwhile the usual 2 to 1 PP chances for Rags was in full effect...
