Around The League II

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

EVERY team moves the puck nicely against the Flames who have abysmal own zone coverage and should be giving up 5 goals a game since Giordano went down.

Just imagine if they had our goaltending. They wouldn't be anywhere NEAR the playoffs.

Ramo has been pretty amazing as well.

How can one team spend so much time in their own end and not lose?

 

[guymez]

Very exciting game between the Wild and the Flames. Great chances at both ends.

Its probably been 8 years or more since I have seen an Oiler game that offered this much.

Good goaltending

I tend to see one team getting hemmed in all the damn time whenever I watch the Oilers play

One day in our lifetime...if the planets align and the team is able to get lucky enough to counteract all the incompetence...we will see an exciting meaningful hockey game again.

Seriously every time I turn to the Flames game they're in their own end usually for a minute or two at a time. Ramo has been unbelievable.

Of course as I type this the Wild score.

Stick a fork in CGY it's 3-1 Minnesota

Yaaaa Hooooooo (The annoying sound after a Flames goal at the Saddledome)

 

[NewBoysClub97*]

4-1 Minny

Yeah...I have only been watching bits and pieces so I really dont have a sense of how the game (on the whole) is going.

I do like the Wild though...dangerous team.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Stick a fork in Calgary. I think they're done.

Yep. Flames have been complete garbage in this game. As per usual they get the breaks anyway with the game even being close for awhile and Ramo standing on his head. Minny with something like 25 scoring chances in this game. Just incredible. Flames get a late goal off a Wild D's ass.

Really all I see the Flames do lately is trying to score goals off the point and pray and hope. lol that they got 2 goals like that in last game from Engellend who hadn't scroed since he was 10...

 

[AJGass4]

Yeah Minni.

On the flipside of things, the Wild looked really good. The game shouldn't have been that close. As I said, when teams get into playoff mode, the Flames just don't stand up.

 

[LaGu]

I am trying to be a grown up and convince myself that the chance is slim at best. On the other hand, **** yeah there is a chance. Two out of Ott, Bos and need to streak and Pit needs to play like crap... Let's talk again on Wednesday when all of the teams involved have played 2-3 more games.

 

[Zaddy]

Miss this guy.

 

[ZJuice]

That was a pretty cool goal, lucky someone didn't rock him as the puck touched his stick!

Islanders turning ****** to close out the year is not good news for that Pens 1st rounder either... Pens pass them in the standings and probably won't look back.

AS mentioned I could never figure the Islanders success anyway. To me the Islanders and Jets are the same thing. Teams willing to play hard in regular season but that will be drubbed in playoffs like pretenders as soon as opponents put their game faces on.

Not at all surprised the Rangers have left the Islanders in the dust. Pens are just coasting in and resting up. Pens are good this year and playing the all round game they rarely have.

edit; wow, Islanders lose yet again today and one of the worst records in the league lately. if they hadn't had so much of a cushion they would be fighting for their lives like Boston has to right now. Big W for Bruins. Didn't see that one coming but Rangers are already made.

 

[Spawn]

Kris Letang took a nasty spill today. Looked completely out of it and is expected to spend the night in hospital. Dude seems to get a serious injury every year. Makes you wonder how long he has left as an NHL player if this kind of thing keeps happening.

This is why you don't trade Jordan Eberle for him.

 

[Supermassive]

Miss this guy.

Should have started in OKC instead of here. Might have been a player (sooner).

 

[Mr Positive]

guess what? Toronto sucks. I don't think we have a chance of staying behind them in the standings

Ottawa is killing them. Phaneuf is awful. Let him go to Dallas please

 

[Mr Positive]

I know no one is in this thread but this is just funny. Go Leafs!

Tied it up with the goalie pulled. There's still hope...
