OT: Around the NHL: non-Pens playoff talk

[Empoleon8771]

I blame that goal on Schultz, but I think for a different reason than what has been mentioned. I think Schultz has the responsibility of being Samsonov's eyes in that case, where he should have been directing Samsonsov for what he should do with the puck. The fact that there was a miscommunication makes me think Schultz wasn't doing that.

Oilers are joining us in going with their much worse third jerseys for the playoffs. What's the deal

I like em

Can both of these teams lose somehow? Hate their guts...

Save this gif next time Caps fans call Sid a whiner.

What a leader.

I blame it on Schultz because dude is the definition of what Rutherford did wrong here in retrospect.

Have to feel bad for Ovie there. With his always stalwart defensive awareness and determination he deserves more than that from Schultz.

though watching the replay of that goal...was that dump in offside? It was definitely close

Looks like he's yelling at his teammate, probably either Shultz or Samsonov.

The league is doing its best to fix this

Nah both Bruins touched up.

Wow just saw the goal...LOL!!!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Am I supposed to be impressed by Taylor Hall?

He seems so far removed from the dominant Hart guy from a handful of years ago. Injury and playing on miserable teams really f***ed his shit up.

Just saw the replay from Boston, OMG Schultz what is you doing

Same thing he's done for the past several years. We know this more than anyone.

 

[66-30-33]

1-0 Avs already....sign of what the game will be like for the Blues.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Blues should forfeit

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I hope the Avs just stomp all the way to the Cup. The NHL's a copycat league and any time a fun and exciting team can win, and other teams try to emulate their style, is a win for fans all over regardless of who they cheer for.

f*** teams that play a slow, "structured" style (i.e. boring as f***, but effective) winning.

Hall looks good I don’t know what you guys are talking about tbh lol

Since he joined Boston:

Regular Season: 16GP 8G, 6A : 14 points
Playoffs : 3GP 2G, 0A: 2 points.

He’s also very noticeable and engaged when he’s on the ice. What more do you want from him?

 

[Crosbyfan]

This (audio commentary) makes it sound like they think it was Samsanov that "Captain" Ovie was throwing under the bus.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Ovechkin looked like he was yelling at Samsonov after the OT goal. If that was Crosby, HF would have a main forum thread 10 pages long already talking about what a terrible captain Crosby is for yelling at a poor kid after a tough loss.

He was one of the best players in the world a few years ago. Injury and playing on some awful teams really f***ed with him.

It's nice that he's playing decent hockey, but people were falling over themselves at the deadline about his availability and if given the choice, I'd take Carter over Hall 11 times out of 10.

Marginal PP1 time too.

It's like people on this board are trying to cover for how wrong they were about him at the deadline.
Just humbly eat crow...
