Around the NHL - Part XLV (Playoffs edition)

[McRanger92]

The reason Igor is paid more than Helly is because he’s much better and Helly can’t stop a beach ball in the playoffs

 

[Leonardo87]

Hellebuyck SUCKS!

He turns into a pumpkin for the playoffs….or in this case Swiss Cheese.

 

[ArPanet]

Not looking forward to Helly being USA goalie in the Olympics next year. Rather see Oettinger and not just because he wears a Statue of Liberty mask.

 

[Cmox]

Having 60000 game winning streak is really paying off for the Jets right now.

 

[Ruggs225]

Helly once again gettin his titties lit in the playoffs

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Man Robert Thomas is good

 

[Machinehead]

The Jets suck

 

[bl02]

Man Robert Thomas is good

and Kyrou and Neighbours and probably eventually Snuggerud must be nice.
And from what I hear they have plenty more in the pipeline

And for as much as we hate paying a goalie big money give me Igor over Hellly anywhere anytime

The Panarin of goalies.

 

[Leonardo87]

The Panarin of goalies.

Yeah pretty much. I mean it’s a 2-2 series now but if the Jets blow this series, Damn!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Blues 4 the cup

Wouldn’t surprise me.

Blues have been good for a while.

 

[17futurecap]

Kind of wish Flyers play by play guy did more national games, got a good PBP voice.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

New Jersey looks like they don't belong in the playoffs. Without j'accuse, there's just not enough there...

 

[Captain Lindy]

New Jersey looks like they don't belong in the playoffs. Without j'accuse, there's just not enough there...

I call him that too!

 

[NickyFotiu]

I call him that too!

Why?

 

[Bob Richards]

Is there another goalie with as much regular season/playoff disparity as Hellebuyck?

He's gonna sleep walk into this 3rd Vezina this year yet he's absolutely addicted to giving up 5 goals a game in the playoffs. Its unreal.

 

[17futurecap]

Anderson made of glass.

 

[turcotte8]

Blues 4 the cup

Blues or Minny.

 

[CasusBelli]

Timo Meier. I’m sure it was incidental.

I call it the Inverse Osgood.

But to answer your question: Patrick Lalime comes to mind.

 

[17futurecap]

Canes going to need 5-6.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Canes going to need 5-6.

This series has not been blessed with top-tier goaltending

 

[Captain Lindy]

Why?

When you say his name, that's what it sounds like! It comes from:

"J'accuse!" ("I accuse!") comes from an open letter written by Émile Zola, a famous French novelist, in 1898. He published it on the front page of the newspaper L'Aurore.


The letter was addressed to the President of France and defended Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army officer who had been wrongly convicted of treason. Zola accused the government, military, and judiciary of corruption and antisemitism in how they handled the case. The letter was so bold and direct that it caused a huge political scandal — known today as the Dreyfus Affair.


Zola’s "J'accuse!" is remembered as one of the most powerful examples of speaking truth to power.

Now, THAT's a funny commercial (with Bissonnette).
