Miscellaneous NHL Discussion C: The centenarian of threads

[Striiker]

Yeah, its much better that the NHL has boxed themselves into a corner where the players can constantly put the NHL into zugzwang. What is the outcome for the NHL if they decide they are going to fine somebody for supporting Pride, HFC, MAF's thing?

@DancingPanther what's your ELO at these days?

They already screwed up by doing anything to start with, so now disallowing anything looks like being against whatever the cause is.

The league is dumb, the players are dumb, the fans are dumb, everyone is dumb.

Got my blitz up to 1050. Haven't played rapid in forever but that's 1100. I need to figure out something for black. I usually play the caro but there's so much theory

I've dragged my Caro winning percentage up from like 40% to 51%. As long as other people stay on the mainline I'm fine. Anybody that knows any tricky variation is basically a guaranteed lose.

I also need to learn the Sicilian. I feel like 2/3rds of my loses are because I have no idea what to so when my opponent plays it.

I play the Magnus sicilian! I'm not pretending to know any actual theory here, I just take with the queen then retreat to the second rank with her. Gets people out of prep immediately. Then fianchetto on the queen side and you're usually solid

Challenge accepted.

Perry’s agent is saying it’s Perry’s decision haha. Surely the Blackhawks aren’t hiding anything though…

What a random combo

I'm always amazed how down to earth Gretzky is. And with him you know it's not fake. He's just a genuinely good guy.

I like about Theo Von that he has no ego. He doesn't try to hide when he's clueless. I enjoy his podcasts from time to time, depending on the guest.

Four point game for Gostisbehere (goal and three assists) for 18 points in 19 games. Is that good?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Gostisbehere in on all 4 goals. You love to see it

Thought this was pretty funny

He’s awesome. Flyers would have been lucky to have him.

Since Giroux, there hasn’t been much. I’d kill for a couple of superstars on this team. That’s what you follow - likeable guys, not some mystical fantasy about the “crest”.

Darnell Nurse just made a ridiculous 100ft sauce pass to Nugent-Hopkins for a breakaway goal.

The Oilers have 3 goals on 4 shots, but are only leading 3-2 because the Ducks have 2 goals on 8 shots.

Edit: the Oilers probably just scored a 4th goal on their 5th shot. Dostal is after Raanta's record. I'm not sure there's enough video evidence to call this a goal, though, but it likely was in.

Something something can't win by filling the net something. Doesn't play the right way.

 

[DancingPanther]

49 on defense? Not the Flyer way

Padding stats on a bad team...
