Board 8 > NHL Discussion Topic - Stanley Cup Round 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

The only topic i'll make this year edition.
---

Not watching tonight as I am convinced I jinxed us on Monday.

How have we looked so far Crossfiyah
---

Great until about two minutes ago.
---

ha, did Oshie touch him?
---

Not in the face.

This is a fitting conclusion to a Pens game if I'd ever seen one.
---

Joke refs.
---

I hope Pens fans don't deny the bullshit.

Oh well.

Another W.

Holtby
3 GA on 18 SOG

Fleury
2 GA on 38 SOG

But tell me more about how goaltending has nothing to do with this, Holtby isn't that bad, and it's all due to the greatness of Crosby
---

I miss Mike Green.

A godawful choking defenseman can't do NEARLY as much damage as a godawful choking goalie.
---

nah Pens are a great team and will likely advance, without needing Crosby. ExTha is just scared.
---

Clearly I am the problem. I didn't watch a minute of that. Even without Crosby, winning three in a row on us will be tough. Let's go Pens!
---

winning one in a row will be tough with a fucking shit goaltender

if Trotz had even one testicle, Grubauer would be starting Game 5
---

Those are some ROUGH bounces for the Ducks...


Fuck, Crosby/McDavid is just destined isnt it? Just beat me to death now plz
---

Crosby/Anyone isn't destined at all coz your team took him out.

You can get even by taking Holtby out of Game 5. Deal?
---

I told you the only way it's even is if we take out OV, Backstrom, and Oshie.
---

Fleury is making a strong case for a Conn Smythe this year.
---

"strong case"????

if the playoffs ended today he would win it unanimously
---

2-1 going into the third, here we go
---

Why is it going to OT if it's 3-1?

It's 3-3?
---

Oh Icing.
3 bull**** goals.
Wow.
---

Well, he waved off the OT one, but those first two were ridiculous.

Yeah I'm mad
---

I'm going to be at PIT/WASH game five. I decided to splurge.

I don't normally like Cheese Boy but this stuff is gold. You could take the names and dates off the quotes and they all sound the same, because the results have all been the same. Every year its the same. Players come and go but nothing changes.

Do you know something weird? Really weird? There have now been 51 NHL playoff games since 2010 in which the losing team had at least 35 shots, and the winning team had fewer than 25 shots. The Caps are responsible for eight of them, more than any other team. Eight out of 51! That’s 16 percent of such losses! In the past two years, there have been just 15 of those dominate-in-shots-but-lose-in-goals playoff games; the Caps account for 5 of them. Five of 15! Either they are uniquely unlucky, or there is some reason that they are regularly outshooting their playoff opponents by such wide margins and still not winning. Or maybe it’s both!

Either way, the window for this group might not be closed after this season, but that day is coming. They can’t keep everyone together. The stars are getting older. They won’t always be this good. And when they’re gone, you don’t want to be left with a banner reading The Underlying Process Was Solid, or We Sure Had a Lot of Chances, or We Liked Everything But the Result.

we are in huge trouble....
---

---

This series should have been a sweep
---

Who was it that argued with me Ovechkin was better than Crosby their rookie year?

God I wish I could remember.
---

basically everyone?

(I mean he won the Calder soooooooo)
---

Most people were aware Crosby would be better, but someone here in particular disagreed vehemently on that.

God, was it Steiner? I don't know if Steiner cared that much about hockey.
---

At this point I think I'm only going to bother watching western conference games.

If the Pens make the finals I probably won't watch that either.
---

Already two defensemen injured on a team with barely any defense.

This is going to go great.

Steiner is british and I'm positive cares almost zero for hockey.
---

Oh no.
It's happening
Ultimate choke
---

wow
---

lmao seriously
---

Kesler's left arm his pulling on Talbot's pad the entire time. The amount of non-goals they spewed in the regular season is LMFAO compared to that shit.

That was interference though. Why even bother going upstairs if they make the wrong call 100% of the time?
---

dropped 3 more bills to go to game 6

got them before game 5 because prices will jump if rangers have a chance to clinch

so I'm possibly paying $300 to see the rangers get eliminated from the playoffs lol
---

gg, goal judges
---

Oilers, what are doing, you should be making the Ducks lose. Nobody wants them to win.
---

Wow choke completed.

The league obviously does.
They won them two games straight.
---

I want the Ducks to win!

Come on Blues, Ducks, Penguins, Rangers aw yeah.
---

god that sucks for the Oilers. I really wanted to see McDavid advance.

Anyway, looking like we might get both Crosby and Sheary back tonight. :)
---

might as well leave them on the bench

you have a better record in this year's playoffs without them!
---

Dear Oilers fans

Have one on us

Sincerely

Leafs fans
