Around the League Thread part V

[bland]

This series is an effing joke. Bullshit, beer league on steroids.

 

[KINGS17]

That ad is horseshit. They go all the way back to Colorado and New Jersey skating the cup, but leave the Kings out. F you NHL.

 

[kingsfan28]

Probably a bit nit picky, but that NHL Cup commercial with the guys passing off the cup to other teams captains completely left off Boston and LA. But they sure had time for Ovi , Sid and Toews. [looks for middle finger emoji to place here.]

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The defense and goaltending in the west is a joke. It's why I continue to think Tampa wins again

 

[kingsfan28]

well...it's now 7-6. Bad penalty even up by 2. Makar was awful there.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Play a full game against the Oilers, anybody.

 

[AbsentMojo]

something odd about hearing 'closing the 5 hole on Hymen'

This is like the NBA before Jordan started making it defense first

Yeah I think Tampa wins again too. Colorado's defense looks terrible.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Pottery. Avs benefit from an early series injury to Binnington. Oilers now capitalizing on Kuemper going down.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Play a full game against the Oilers, anybody.

I mean, we won at least 2 games against the Oilers without doing that

 

[ru4reals]

LOL I picked the Aves to go to the Cup Finals but I wouldn't be one bit surprised if the Oilers beat them. This teams in trouble if Kuemper is gone for a while. Flames - Oilers all over again. Say what you want but looks like the Kings played the best Defense against the Oilers.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I'm all for more scoring and more skill, but this is full on pond hockey

 

[kingsfan28]

They'll call a hold with over 5 min to go, but under 5, nope. Keith held him pretty good there.

Still the only team to shut out the Oilers this postseason

 

[KINGS17]

I sure hope Colorado can hold this 2-goal lead now.

 

[ru4reals]

We may be the only team too. Well unless the Oilers make it to the Finals and meet Tampa.

 

[HookKing]

80's hockey now officially back.

 

[kingsfan28]

The over was 12.5.
14 goals scored.
Someone must've taken the over.

 

[AbsentMojo]

This must be the highest scoring Western conf playoffs ever so far (avg goals per game)

 

[Herby]

80's hockey now officially back.

Better than mid to late 90’s hockey being back.

 

[tny760]

Yeah, no different than dumping the puck in and waiting for your guy to tag up. The smooth-brains on the main board are having an absolute meltdown though.

while i totally agree, it has never ever ever been called like that

are we gonna start reviewing to see if the puck is actually a millimeter off the tape instead of touching it now? this review shit has totally lost the plot

 

[DAkings20]

It's an 8-6 league

I think for skaters trying to get out - skating opposite direction of the play - they should let that go as they did. Offside's actually sucks in general. Having played some roller with no offsides you realize it kills a lot of creativity

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Edmonton media makes them eaasssy to root against

Fun game but total gong show, these guys are just competing to see who gets obliterated by TBL.

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Are these teams (Calgary and Colorado) that bad on defense or was Quick that good?
