Around the League Thread Part II: Final Stretch

[Zero Pucks Given]

f*** the Lightning.

But at least we don’t have to suffer an entire year of Habs fans.

McSorely's Curse sending its regards once again

Good riddance Montreal and good riddance Alex Burrows!

Im pretty sure the only runs that come close are Thomas’s run in 2011 and Roy’s run in 2001.

Thomas' run was great, but Giguere's run (in the 2003 loss) was the only one to actually come close statistically. For goalies with 16 or more games played, Quick tops the list for highest SV% and lowest GAA.

Lol wow

 

[Reclamation Project]

Quick’s 2012 season was one of the all time greatest. He was robbed of a Vezina.

Mike Smith in 3rd from the same season. Nice reminder for the "Kings had an easy path" crowd.

 

[KINGS17]

Here's to crowds, proper divisions, and games outside of division all coming back next year

I wouldn't count those chickens just yet. The next season should start in about three months, and we are talking about Canada.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Shoulda been Kucherov's Conn Smythe imo but my tinfoil hat says they didn't want to do that for the optics of his comeback.

Quick’s 2012 season was one of the all time greatest. He was robbed of a Vezina.

Totally and that season in particular is why I will never suffer East Coast fools complaining about Doughty's Norris being 'due', the amount of hoops a Pacific Time player has to go through to win awards is absurd. Quick got CRUSHED in that vote too basically 2-1, Pekka Rinne was close enough behind him that Quick could have finished 3rd LOL

I'll take 1/3.

No, he was robbed of the Hart.

Those votes reeked of east coast bias/sexy pick. 80 pct of the 1st place votes for 4 more wins and a 1 pct difference in gaa/sv pct.
But hey, who won the cup?

 

[kingsfan28]

Anyone else hear Eddie O defend Tampa for being over the cap in order to win the cup with the traded that got them there?

They'll screw up the vote and a few years later give it to said player because he's "overdue". Total nonsense.

And while we're complaining, Kopitar should have won the Hart in 2018!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What a legend.

 

[kingsfan28]

Gary's Parkinson's is getting worse

Yeah, he was shaking pretty bad. I always thought it was a nervous tick when he talked, but it's gotten worse.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

What a legend.

What a huge piece of shit but

1. he earned it
2. if there's one guy to let it all out it's him
3. this is one for the books "#1 bullshit" shirtless while chugging a beer, i can't hate that

I don't at all like him going after fans and Fleury but like I said, he's a huge piece of shit so no surprise there

 

[Reclamation Project]

Somehow it doesn't bother me. I don't like the Fleury remarks at all, but it's bar/lockerroom shit talk and he just went beast mode in 2 playoffs and won 2 Cups in a row. Like I said earlier, he's my guy when I need a playoff win, absolute lights out in the playoffs.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Lol Kucherov is such a titanic asshole.

 

[kingsboy11]

I don't know why, but his comments don't bother me. Man just won back to back Stanley Cups and put up a Conn Smythe performance, he can say whatever the hell he wants.

 

[KINGS17]

Lol Kucherov is such a titanic asshole.

...but he's my kind of asshole.

Montreal fans...are you kidding me.

 

[Reaper45]

I don't know why, but his comments don't bother me. Man just won back to back Stanley Cups and put up a Conn Smythe performance, he can say whatever the hell he wants.

Must be nice to rest all season and then play in the playoffs when you’re all fresh and ready to go. He’s an asshole regardless.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I appreciate that he embraces it, at least. Even if I'm just being a hater.

 

[bouncesonly]

Pretty much this. f*** the losers.

 

[tny760]

i'm just not super interested in hearing it from a guy who's only playing because his team is exploiting the salary cap

is what it is

now i just have to watch the replay and hopefully get my new avatar

I should've specified Cup *winning* goaltenders.

But yes, there are quite a few from non-Cup winning goaltenders (like Giguere's 2003).
