Around The NHL (Part XL)

[Kershaw]

Marleau makes it 3-1. Dubnyk is awful.

Marleau makes it 3-1

 

[The Gloaming]

Oilers defense in Pejorative Slur mode again.

At least they're fun to watch!

 

[Clowes Line]

If you find that hard to believe you must have known the truth about Santa Clause at like 5 years old. Seriously. It's impossible for you to fathom somebody having respect for Sidney Crosby? It's gonna be hard for anyone to convince you of anything in this life than, it seems, because there's nothing far fetched about the idea that there are hockey fans in the world who respect Crosby to me. Do you realize that Dubinsky played similarly sometimes? That Avery was a massive fan favorite in NY? That Giroux gets away with a lot of similar, weasily things that people hate Crosby for? Find me a perfectly clean hockey player. There's no such thing. I mean, I like literally at least 4-5 players on every team in the league and some are NOT clean, "likeable" guys. I like Lucic. I like Neil. I like Hartnell. Crosby plays dirty sometimes. Like those other guys, I still enjoy watching him play and he doesn't aggravate me half as much as Giroux does (though I also love watching Giroux work).

[Kershaw]

lol Oilers.

4-1.

 

[The Gloaming]

Oilers PK sucks, obviously, but I hope the Rangers watch the Sharks powerplay and take some notes.

 

[The Gloaming]

Oilers=Fail

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

yikes 6-1.. talk about horrible defense in the first period...

 

[Made Dan]

Getting late earlier and earlier. It's already 6 past Dubnyk.

 

[silverfish]

Tyler Seguin shot DOWN

 

[LeetchisGod]

I guess three consecutive #1 picks isn't enough.

 

[The Gloaming]

You mean Justin Schultz ISN'T going to make their defense amazingly perfect?

Hope he's happy there.

Do they draft Jones or MacKinnon?

 

[BlueshirtBlitz]

...So is this **** more exciting than the "six goalie system"?

I guess maybe for Sharks fans...

 

[Kakko]

This might just be my imagination, but during both game so far, the Pens/Bruins were getting away with numerous hits from behind.
Meanwhile they're calling every touch interference

Pretty sure they called Lucic for a hit from behind...

 

[The Gloaming]

****. J. Schultz with his first goal.

 

[Thirty One]

Tarasenko scoreless tonight.

Bust.

 

[Kershaw]

****. J. Schultz with his first goal.

You mean Bobby Orr?

 

[The Gloaming]

You mean Bobby Orr?

No. Schultz is clearly the superior player. Don't even dare compare him to Orr.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

****. J. Schultz with his first goal.

I want Justin Schultz to suck so badly in the NHL.

 

[The Gloaming]

I want Justin Schultz to suck so badly in the NHL.

I'm waiting for an Oil-Ducks game in Anaheim. I want Getzlaf and Perry to hit him silly.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Here's a fact, Marleau has scored at least 30 goals in 6 of his last 7 seasons. And some people called him Drury 2.0.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Six goals in one period is pretty spectacular and awful based on who you ask. For as dumb as our defense can be sometimes, it can always be worse.

I don't believe the Rangers allowed 6 goals in any game last season.

 

[Kane One]

I don't believe the Rangers allowed 6 goals in any game last season.

Well we did this season.
