Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XCIV: From Ghost to Hakstol and all things in between

Ed Olczyk sucks and should not be allowed to commentate on Kraken playoff games... any games, really, but he's the regular season guy in Seattle now.

just another reason to stay away from the Kraken..

It would be peak hockey for the Panthers to lose in the 1st round as the President’s Trophy team, with Zito doing a similar or worse job to Fletcher going all in, only to beat the President’s Trophy team as the 8th seed the next year.

People were dancing on their graves, but their talent acquisition is just stupid good.

Some DHs right now

 

[Starat327]

Color me surprised that the offensive, skilled team - without two of their best players - absolutely grilled the defensive grinders whose only prayer in that entire series was the out of the world play of their goalie for several games.

Let me help those without crystal balls here: that series is an exact replica of what Flyers playoff hockey looks like in a few years. Strap in.

Just noticed that Wild's playoff slogan was GRIT FIRST

Cash out time?

Don't be a p***y. Ride or die

$200 is peanuts

What would hurt more, cashing out and it hitting, or letting it ride and it doesn't?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

I think that's a copy pasta

OP confirmed it in the thread, I consider myself well versed in copypasta but had never seen that one before, but it's Boston so I wouldn't have discounted anything

That's a great question. I mean, cashing out $265 on a $1 bet is pretty damn great. It gives me more money to make the same type of dumb $1 bets in round 2. Would really hurt to cash out and it ends up hitting...

265 is a lot of good beer.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I'd let that ride.

Cash out the $10 one. Then you get 10 more bets for next round. Remember if it doesn't hit, you're not losing $265. You only lost a dollar. Go for the gusto

Good luck!

I went to the casino once in my life. Cashed out being up 20$.

I’m low key disturbed you are even pondering this. Take the money fool.

I used to work as a card dealer in a casino. Cash out the money.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

what's $265 these days? one nice steak dinner with your wife or girlfriend?

no big loss.

All he needs is the Oilers to win tonight, the Devils to win tonight, (granted both on the road and with their opponents facing elimination), and Tampa to win tonight at home and then lose Game 7 in Toronto.

That's not an outrageous gambit for $4300.00.

And if it doesn't hit, he's only actually out a buck. I'd rather have the thrill.

But everyone's different.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Caveat:

This is coming from someone who blew $600 on the Flyers going over 78.5 points, and then Couturier and Atkinson both unexpectedly ended up missing the entire season (granted, only missed winning by 4 points, and I stand by the bet; would've had it if not for the injuries). And someone who blew $500 on a September futures Buffalo Bills bet to win the Super Bowl.

Very intriguing Jets media closing questions to players.

“Does this organization need change”

Flyers media boys would faint even whispering that.

To be fair to the Islanders, they were missing Bo Horvat for most of the series

Stay classy, you’re ruining it for everyone!

Brutal for Isles fans

That's the kind of goal that, after having been scored after someone in a ball hockey league has said "Last goal wins!", it is said "Okay, NEXT goal wins!"
