Around the League Thread | The one where Florida blows it…?

[Jovofan]

Still got the first goal no matter how long the lead lasted so it still counts. Shake it off Florida

 

[tantalum]

Omg, how do you let that happen?

They nearly had it happen on the PP as well but the Oilers PK didn’t see the opportunity. OEL had pinched early and hard and was caught.

What is with these clowns and giving Janmark free breaks?

He stuffed rancid meat in his jock or something.

Florida just keeps making huge mistakes that end up in the back of their net

Would be nice if Bobrovsky could stop even one breakaway or 2-on-1

They don't look cooked, they just look really f***ing nervous and are making boneheaded reads.

You mean he didn't to begin with?

Saving a tip is a little bit like hitting a curve. I think, I defer to you.

Wow, this is going to be a classic game, isn't it?

There's literally a drill that looks exactly like that play.

Read the play, your guys aren't back and you're alone with the opposing forward. He's going to try to screen and/or tip it. Another option is the soft pass to him and then he'd have all day. But the puck was released already.

Big for Edmonton to respond so quickly.

If only we had that sort of response in 2011 G7.

Their team looks to be collectively laboured. I have no clue why they added Okposo into their lineup.

Florida needed to secure a quick 2-0 or 3-0 lead this game to have any chance.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Hey, I'm open to other suggestions. The line I was looking for was "His dick?"

 

[Bubbles]

Janmark just priced himself out of our lineup.

 

[PG Canuck]

Okposo is so f***ing slow. Why is he playing

 

[tantalum]

Best 10 minutes the panthers have played for some time

 

[StickShift]

For the record, cheering for Edmonton tonight. The sporting story of overcoming a 3-0 deficit outweighs my rivalry-based dislike. One night only.

 

[Bgav]

Great pace to this game

 

[wonton15]

Janmark thinks he’s McDavid

Thing is, 1-3 huge mistakes have been in their game all playoffs. They are not actually structured in their D, they basically have a man on man scheme that relies on good decisions and maximum effort.

If only we had that sort of response in 2011 G7.

I think of all realities, 5% of them have the Canucks winning that game. We were truly cooked.

 

[tantalum]

Ekblad is broken down

Gollum*

Okposo is so f***ing slow. Why is he playing

Going from Nick Cousins to Kyle Okposo is like going from a Yamaha R1 to a mobility scooter.

He might be better

Janmark has gone supernova in the finals. Guy is going to get paid on his next deal.

Yep. They’ve relied on hemming teams in on the forecheck and aggression from the blueline in. But they’ve constantly left themselves open to the odd man rush counter. Somehow guys like Janmark and Brown have suddenly channeled Bure.

Honestly, I feel no one ever talks about hockey IQ, reads, following the play when scouting goalies. At least not as much as they should, IMO.
