Ishad this is a pretty low blow after we lost in OT. :-P Someone did the math and if we had Forsberg still we'd still have Adam Oates as head coach, so it worked out.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Luceno and Zahn were pretty much the only two whose books for the EU I generally liked.

And suddenly...there's a title race.

I'll say this, right now it looks like he's given the Blue Jackets a pollen allergy. It's hilarious how the Jackets will control long stretches, but get nothing...then Pens will score with their first/next shot on goal.

Well we sorta got what we deserved tonight, all those golden chances at the end of the 3rd and in OT to win it, but no payoff. Carlson breaks his stick, and a nice pass by Boyle makes it a 1-1 series. I'm sure Caps fans will be slitting wrists, but it wasn't like anyone should have been...

Not that I completely trust expected goals (xG) stat yet, since it sort of ignores shooting and goaltending talent, but yeah overall Habs generated a ton of chances. Of course...it would be nice for the Habs of all teams to outshoot someone by like a million and still lose the game. (grumble...

Bruce Boudreau just can't catch a break.

Lundqvist had 54 saves in a loss. Dagger.

Unreal. Rags 20 seconds away from going back home up 2-0, now Habs seem like they have all the momentum despite Rags getting the split I'm sure they wanted.

Right now I'm still in lets get past the 2nd round. Looks like it'll be the Pens if we get there, since the Jackets have no luck. 7-0 in shots on goal to start the game, Pens score on their first shot of the game. Just how it's been running. Bob is so shit in the playoffs.

Nothing disappointing about them finally making progress. Hopefully.

Here's to hoping you're disappointed this year

Hahaha if you had said Glass beats Price with a backhand...most Rangers fans heads would explode I bet. Maybe we took their speed too lightly, which we shouldn't have. Trotz needs to have them ready to go...Babcock certainly had the Leafs ready. On the other hand, most of us have noticed...

Also...holy fucking hell Tom Wilson. Tom Wilson? Tom Wilson. Shitty ass start to that game though. Gotta realize they have speed and skill to run and gun if we turn the puck over like we were. Got stronger as the game went on but holy hell, don't give them hope.

I didn't see him do anything dirty last night, though I was watching the Pens/Cbus game mostly. Nice it was staggered by a half hour though so I could switch during intermission of either or. Just commenting on the idea you seemed to have that Kreider is some squeaky clean guy, you seemed...

Yeah really thought the injuries and Oilers form down the stretch would dictate the series...and through 20 minutes, seemed to be true. Sharks gave them a lesson in playoff hockey after that.

Ronaldo not the player he used to be by any stretch, but he can still be lethal. Although really he should have had a 3rd or 4th today, and Bale definitely should have had one. Bayern should actually feel somewhat fortunate to only have given up 2 away goals with how much pressure they endured...

Nice win tonight StoiC. Btw, not sure if you're familiar with Steve Dangle, big Leafs fan, does podcast and such I believe. He made a video of his playoff bracket picks. You really only have to listen for about the first minute to see the relevance here...

No chance. Juvy are not PSG. I don't see Barca keeping them off the scoreboard in the return leg either...so they'll need at least 5.

Shit. I'm so glad the Caps are playing them this year before that team becomes gangbusters. I'm a little envious of Toronto and Edmonton. Playing with house money already, just at the start of their generational players' careers. Not to mention the supporting casts for both. Toronto is...

Definitely doesn't erase what they managed to accomplish. 2 Cups in 3 years is pretty remarkable. Will be interesting to see who they hire as coach and how the new structure works going forward.

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.

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

Not really...pretty sure when we do the Cali trip next year it'll go shitty too, whether we're playing well or not otherwise.
