Pre-Game Talk: Game 4 Hot Stew, the perfect meal. (with new & improved Pole)

[Tobias Kahun]

He's a viking, of course he's ready. "I'm happy where my body is at" Most of us would be.

Pretty amazing that Vegas and Dallas have been easy outs so far and we haven't even had Ekholm.

The most satisfying thing this postseason is how many D we have that can play. We went from a team that would have to hide poor pairs or try to work around them to actually having consternation about who gets to play.. Say this as well that Emberson and Stecher even as relievers are better than the D we used to have dressing in lower pairs.

KK and Coffey are good coaches but they have a wealth of D to draw from. We used to face teams like this that were loaded with D. Now its Oilers having it.

Its so much more enjoyable playing against Ceci than playing with Ceci.

I thought we had all agreed the pk was struggling because Skinner was struggling.

I want mine the hungarian (goulasch) way with some yoghurt on top!

Fresh curled moss Parsley and Tarragon herbs as sprinkle. Again nice touch. Doesn't this recipe usually use sour cream? Just curious. I love a good goulash. We also make Beef stroganoff regularly. Using all fresh ingredients from garden out back. Except the beef. heh

Also love Hungarian Chicken Paprikash. I'm getting hungry again.

Nobody and I mean nobody hates ketchup more than me.

I could probably give you a run.
I don't even have ketchup in my house & haven't since my kids left home 20 years ago.
It's not like liver which I will never even allow in the house, under any circumstances, but I've never ever used it on anything for as long as I can remember.

Ya it’s not my thing neither. Not a fan.

I don't see the appeal either.

My post brought more to the discussion than anything you've brought so far.

Nurse has been a much bigger issue on the PK than Bouchard.

You're the one posting and blaming that Bouchard is the reason our PK is so shit.

Its okay to admit that you tossed out a statement and got proven wrong.

Once again you gloss over convos cause you think you have some sort of gotcha moment. Reality is i said having him as a regular is a big reason our pk is so bad not because it's the only reason. Anyone with the ability to string together a coherent sentence would agree a guy who played almost 3 minutes of pk time a game on probably the best playoff pk ever would be a better fit than a guy who played 13 seconds a game during the same playoff run and is a part of the worst playoff pk this year while in an increased role.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

It was your narrative that Ekholm needed to be in be in no matter what.

Quote where I said any of that.

You'd think a big reason for our PK being so bad would have him bleeding goals against.

Nurse played 1:50 last year on the PK and gave up 2 goals against, hes given up 8 already these playoffs.

Hes a much bigger issue than Bouchard.

I don't mind it as a condiment. But people that cook with the stuff should just hand in the apron.

Things I've seen.

Ketchup stirred into pasta (served in hell)

Ketchup soup with ketchup as a base with some canned veggies thrown in. Eat it up bastard kids, yum...

Ketchup instead of pizza sauce. (let me get my hammer)

Ketchup flavor chips. Oh god no..


I'm actually ok with Ketchup as condiment, normally used on Burger, fries, hotdog.

I wonder why nurse is being asked to play more pk I wonder if that is related to ekholm being injured. Nah couldnt be that.

I dont see how you can say one player allowed goals against on the PK. From what I saw, it looked like a strategy problem, and mixed with goalies letting in more goals in general. Did Bouchard play PK all playoffs? It seemed to me like the PK got a bit better when players like McDavid and Bouchard were on it, instead of all bottom sixers and defense first players.

In round 1 Bouchard played 8:09 on the PK.
In round 2 Bouchard played 8:43 on the PK.
In round 3 Bouchard has played 6:33 on the PK.

Bouchard has played twice the minutes of Nurse on the PK during round 3.

If anything Bouchard is helping the PK as his usage has scaled up.

But if Rantanen were hit in the head like that, we all know what the outcome would be :p

He has played less than Bouchard in the 3rd round yet still has more GA.

Thoughts on this?

That doesn't mean much unless you can show that Nurse was at fault on those goals

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Thats fine.

But his whole argument was the PK sucks because Bouchard is on it.

If you start an argument with "A big reason out pk has been so bad is because bouchards a regular on it. Ekholm would be logging the most minutes if he were healthy."

You should probably do some checking of the actual results.

Man I f***ing hate the sight of mustard too.

Mustard is the king of condiments.

Conversation was about bouchard and ekholm so naturally nurse is a focal point.

You've got nothing to contribute because you come in mid conversation without even bothering to read the previous posts.

Thoughts on this?

Of course we want sour cream for it and not yoghurt, my bad. I use parsley and thyme as sprinkle over the top.......and we also serve it with white bread so our heart surgeon gets satisfied

If you want the recipe for the goulasch, or other tasty dishes.

The powerplay is clearly an afterthought

They better get that crap shored up. Wins you games.

Ketchup flavor chips. Oh god no..

My favorite kind!

 

[BertMcDrai]

Mike Smith coming in as the backup?

Imagine, EBUG Smitty comes in...
hopefully that never happen but just imagine how awesome it would be...SF Game 7, both goalies go down, Smitty is in the rink...comes in and win it...great head cinema in my mind.

I think we have found a future pole subject.

EDM really needs this game tomorrow (er technically today). They lose, it's tied 2-2 headed back to Dallas where you never know. If Stu can keep playing well I like our chances.
