Brando I'm just not sure if I can buy England going as far as they should. Feels like something stupid should happen to prevent that. Like every major tournament ever for the last 52 years.
Orlov is actually one of the cooler dudes on the team, doesn't show it much. Ovi's instagram had a bunch of videos from the Russian contingent at his place I assume after all the crazy partying just grilling out back and shit with Orlov and Kuzy. I love Orlov's contract too, pretty much a...
Surprised Orpik could raise it so easily. Rumor is got one of his pinkies half hacked off by Haula end of Game 2 in the Finals. Had to have it halfway re-attached. Fucking warrior.
I'm trying to think of actual cases and coming up blank, although in no other instance was any of the goalies examined for a concussion b/c they gave up 2 of the worst goals on the biggest stage, so not something I'd just remember.
Normally as you note, it'll just be contact that is meant to...
I was never downplaying the possibility of a concussion. I think it's likely that it occurred on that play, obviously something else could have happened but that seems the most likely culprit. He definitely gets shoved is all I was pointing out, while tongue in cheek saying it could be a...
I think Ramos used the Force to coerce his defender on that play to show him towards the keeper so he could go full Tito Santana on him, also calculated the exact angle to foul Salah so that his opposite shoulder would dislocate upon contact with the ground.
I don't see why these aren't valid...
You want owners to prevent players from taking pay cuts in order to help the team that drafted them build a championship caliber squad? I mean, maybe they should just do free agency lottery style to spread the wealth around to lucky cities that win it, just like the draft lottery.
I don't disagree about the max contract issue, but as far as being locked out of competition...considering 3/4's of the Warriors "superstars" were drafted in back to back years with picks 7, 11, and 35 I'm not sure I can buy teams being locked out of competition.
Sucks we're going to lose him, but DSP earned his next contract for sure, and his name will be on the Cup as a Capital so I'm okay with that. Beagle too. I'm not even going to worry about salary cap stuff for awhile, just happy for this group. Parade should be crazy.
Best sports moment of my life. Period. DC was insane. Holy fucking shit. They did it. Ovechkin pretty much answered any question ever.
Oshie's interview fucking hit deep. That shit man...damn.
Just happy.
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.
