2016-17 Around the NHL Thread 53: 2017 Stanley Cup Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins

[bl02]

Hey Refs the pens have two of the best players in history they don't need your help as well

 

[Boruto]

I sense a Carl Hagelin warp around Stanley Cup GWG

The "intent to blow whistle" rule is the worst rule in the game. Worse than getting a penalty for puck over the glass.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

what has murray done to deserve such a quick whistle anyway??

Disgusting quick whistle

 

[Boruto]

Safe to say the preds won't be penalized for the rest of the period.

Nothing against Murray. The ref likely truly jumped the gun.

 

[Raspewtin]

Why are Nashville so against using the middle of the ice?

 

[Machinehead]

Rinne's away save percentage is .800

Put nevesis in net, he could do that.

I'm not so sure about that, there are a lot of lasers in the arena tonight.

 

[bl02]

Horrible pp. the pens d don't fear the preds forwards at all on that pp. it's all about covering the shots from the point.

 

[TheTakedown]

Nothing against Murray. The ref likely truly jumped the gun.

Ref was also way out if position... The reaction of the other players around + being closer to the rear of the net should have yielded him not blowing the whistle

 

[Boruto]

Safe to say they're firing away at Murray from all angles. Unluckily, the one out of 10 that generates a juicy rebound and the one out of many of those that gets potted got blown dead.

Wore black hockey pants.

I haven't found this series particularly exciting, so maybe as exciting. But finals happen every season as well...
Different strokes for different folks I guess

I have never thought of July as the most exciting month of the NHL year.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Wore black hockey pants.

that made me mad.. i think it was a couple years ago one of the anaheim goalies wore black pants and pads. and i saw atleast 2 goals called back because the couldnt tell where the puck was in the goalies gear

Congrats. I haven't either.
But i do find the draft and free agent period intetesting, and the expansion draft adds an element that isnt normally there. Like i said I'm not finding the SCF incredibly riveting so would have no issue with it wrapping up so other things can ramp up

 

[bl02]

Josi needs to double shift as forward as well. Lol

 

[Boruto]

This is going to follow the same high pressure game script. Scoreless through the first period. Late 2nd period goal by away team. mid period goal by away team in the third. late goal by home team. 2-1 away team.

 

[Boruto]

Crosby is scary good down low. That grade A atomic fat ass really anchors him and allows him to protect the puck well.

 

[Cassano]

Murray is really ****ing good.

 

[Raspewtin]

Colton Sissons sucks

He can skate and loves scoring fluke hat tricks but he has the hockey IQ of a ****ing lego

 

[bl02]

Ellis saves a goal. How much longer can this Nashville defense save this teams ass.

 

[Raspewtin]

How did Rinne not get a penalty there

 

[Boruto]

Nashville is really good at protecting the middle of the ice coming back hard without over collapsing and sliding all over the place. That's what it's supposed to look like. Not Girardi sliding across on his stomach watching the puck get put into the net.
