[bland]

sends fagemo out on PP1 what the f*** todd

what is with this hate boner for kaliyev

He is too valuable at the goddam point for 30 seconds on the 2nd unit

 

[apocalypse]

we're not standing them up at all. they skate into our zone unabated.

 

[Little Psycho]

Didn't even get a shot. Jesus f***ing Christ pp sucks

 

[LAKings88]

I hate their f***ing power play

 

[Ollie Weeks]

This ones not worth staying up for. Best of luck everyone.

 

[Cook24]

Holy cow that was one of the saddest PP ever

 

[kings11]

Pathetic

 

[KingLB]

It was on his backhand, against his direction of travel, into the middle of the ice.

It literally couldn’t be any worse of a pass, short of just saucing it to the red line for Hedman to pick up.

A skill play from Maatta could cancel out that abomination of a pass, but let’s not pretend it was anything short of awful.

NHL players have no problem receiving a pass on their backhand, especially defensemen, it literally happens 50 times a game. Shit beer leaguers could receive that pass. Worst case, atleast touch the puck!!

 

[tny760]

can't for the life of me figure out how sturm still has a job

it's literally insane

 

[kingsboy11]

Its absolutely astounding to me that there are 6 or 7 teams worse at the powerplay than us. Its absolutely f***ing abysmal

 

[lumbergh]

Zzzzz...

 

[Sol]

Sturm has a job..

 

[Bandit]

Yeah all their looks were “grade A” Nick. A for asshole.

 

[crassbonanza]

Hated the period on ice, but man it is so much fun to hear Nickson calling the game

 

[KingLB]

It was an unobstructed pass, best not to put that on a guys backhand at the blueline. Maatta blew it for sure, but he wasn't going to be able to make a quality play off that pass even if he handled it cleanly.

Oh no question it wasn’t a good pass. But a semi competent defenseman gets something on the puck, so the opponent does go on a clean breakaway the other way.

Best case scenario there, was a stationary Maatta receiving the puck on his backhand with a defender closing on him with speed.

Like I said, a skill play there can cancel it out, but Kopi set that whole shit show into motion with a pass not expected from a 10 million dollar center.

 

[Little Psycho]

I'd kill for Strum's job stability

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Down 1-0 to a team playing at 1030pm their time jet lagged with only 4 dmen, 3 after sergachev went down the hall. 4 shots on goal, 0 scoring chances.

These guys stopped playing real hockey the moment they won vs. Pittsburgh. Just absolute shit since then, right back to looking like the feeble team that can't play a system and won't take a hit for anyone.

 

[shuchukfan]

Is there a rule regarding the size of the goalie's chest protector?

Oh, he Maattaed the shit out of that play.

 

[kinghock]

The pp looks worse without Kempe

There are only 2 players on this team who can enter zone like Kempe does: Turcotte and Kupari.
They are not on PP…

 

[BigKing]

Oh, he Maattaed the shit out of that play.

Exactamundo

They just come out of the gate so measured, like they want to ease into the game most nights instead of dictating the pace.

We are gonna need an entire new thread to address the self inflicted issues the PP is working with.

Horribad.

40 more minutes of this?
