OT: Around the NHL: non-Pens playoff talk

[Gumbercules]

'None of the officials saw it"

Except the ref was staring directly at Tuch when it happened. Wouldn't want to have a ref decide the game or anything, so lets not call the rules.

 

[Trade]

Fleury is playing unreal for Vegas this game

 

[BHD]

Feels like hockey has reverted back to the pre-lockout type of game.

Watching Fleury pitch a shutout just adds salt to the wound

His helmet was hit and Tuch acted like he got slammed in the face. Maybe that’s why the ref didn’t call it.

talbot also...who knew that maybe it pays to have a vet goalie on your roster instead of relying on two goalies with minimal NHL games?...

 

[SouthGeorge]

Thing about Fleury is he felt pressure to win in Pitt and it showed. Doesn't have that pressure in Vegas and seems to be having fun. Also, a lot of these saves he's completely out of position and makes it last second so it looks amazing. If he was in position like he should be then they don't look amazing. Or he adds flair like the glove saves. He has 27 saves and Talbot has 40 and everybody is talking about Fleury.

Example #101 of why the casual sports changes the channel from hockey.

Yet it seems like Minnesota should be up 5-0.

These Tuscon Roadrunners jerseys are nice.

I feel like the bigger mistake the Pens made was going into the season with another inexperienced guy as Jarry's backup. Nights like tonight are why you'd want to have a veteran with more experience to possibly go to in Game 2, instead of basically having to go back to Jarry (even if DeSmith wasn't injured, I wouldn't feel excited about him starting either).

 

[Randy Butternubs]

This announcer for Tucson keeps calling Capobianco just "Kyle" and I hate it.

My god I hate it so much.


I think I only saw Byfield take two shifts? He's the only reason I'm watching this.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Ouch poor Maf. No goal support, bad defensive play that leads to a deflected goal he had no chance on.


Obviously 100% his fault they lost 1-0 in OT.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Good for you, Wild.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I’m not going to miss NBC

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

The Vancouver/Calgary series is going to be a blood bath.

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

Tampa/Florida get to start on time

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Nearly everyone cheering for the Panthers, right?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I think Florida's gonna roll 'em, tbh.

Yep, everyone but @Ryder71

 

[Kristopher Letang]

@Ryder71 Are you watching the game?

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Look at Horny man, so inspirational

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Bullshit that’s a goal lol

 

[66-30-33]

That will be a goal lol.

or not wtf?
