Around the NHL: Part VI – lol Tampa, Go Tampa!

[Maximus]

About the only guy you can make a case for, at this point, is Pettersson.

Any chance Kakko can be as good as Pettersson? Does he have the same pedigree?

Benn with two really bad passes in the offensive zone almost costing his team

 

[bl02]

Dallas deserved to lose that game. Garbage

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Balls

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Ahhh rat farts.

 

[trilobyte]

Stars were besieged since the start of OT.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Maybe offside? Thought that's why the Stars didn't leave the ice right away

 

[Maximus]

I remember friends asking me what the hell is in the water the Rangers drink, as in "they have no business accomplishing what they do" especially in the 2014-2015 stretch obviously. Most of them already hated Tortorella and they just hated that the Rangers were doing something not prescribed for them by the experts.

Bishop was terrific tonight. A wasted performance. Well St. Louis up 2-0 and 1-1 Dallas I guess I will take that going into game 3

Interesting. What would a team have to lose if they challenged for the heck of it?
Or can you challenge when it's sudden death?
Would a penalty ensue next game if their challenge was not upheld?

Not asking you in particular, just talking out loud.

More like Laine IMHO. But, that's a big what if.

He didn't even see that GW'er.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Doc fail. Said on the NBC broadcast that Dallas won the game and took a 2-0 series lead

I could be wrong, but I think the NHL reviews every OT goal

Blind behind the back passes in OT are rarely wise.

Yeah I hear ya. Buddies of mine from rival teams namely the Islanders and Debbies would always say that the hockey gods were obviously smiling upon us come playoff time seeing there was no logical reason for us to be winning these series vs more talented teams. When we came back those back to back years from 3-1 deficits vs the Pens and Caps, I think I started to believe them that the gods were on our side. Too bad they deserted us vs the King, Ligtening and Senators...lol

Good point. Maybe that is the answer.
I wonder if more wine would help me

 

[haohmaru]

Didn't take the Bruins long to figure out that off to the races isn't the right strategy vs. the Leafs. Toronto hasn't dealt with this physicality all too well so far.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Remember when the bruins had 3 straight first round picks? Crazy right

What bothered me was that I did not think the hockey press in general gave enough attention and accolades to those epic Rangers comebacks from 3-1 series defecits.
they were just fantastic.
Ancient history now, I realize, but still history.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Omg Krug got lit the f*** up!

 

[aufheben]

Made a shitbox bracket for our conditional picks. Errors probable.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Lololololol Toronto maple laughs

 

[trilobyte]

You don't want your head down with Muzzin bearing down on you.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Omg
