Do I find this on the podcast app on my phone?
Thanks and I think I have you to credit for asking me to do this back when the season started. And I can also blame you when the small but vocal sect of posters gets pissed off by all the reviews and analysis.
I’ve already got a couple of the Jones homers pissed off over on the Sharks forum. There’s some people who will find something wrong to go out of their way to not blame the goalie (Jones) on certain shots. “it’s a laser!” Or “The goalie only makes that save if the puck hits him and he gets lucky” or “There was a screen” from one skater 33 feet out. Or “It deflected off a skate lace”. It was the same thing over here with the “If you take his games against Toronto and Tampa Bay outbof his stats then Kinkaid would have a decent save percentage” stuff. Or the “Time to eat crow on Cory because 17 good games that proceeded 20 of the worst games a goalie has had in years is enough to deduce that he’s probably back to normal”. And I’m also waiting for the goalie Union to send me a cease and desist.
There will be a stoppable goal Jennings Trophy, which Mikko Koskinen currently has a one goal lead over Martin Jones for and a 2 goal lead over Connor Hellebuyck.
There’s also a stoppable goal Vezina, which goes to the highest percentage of goals counted stoppable and it will have a games played requirement. Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen are neck and neck. Hopefully that’s decided tonight. Think Smith leads by a fraction.
Do you remember what episode it was? Most recent episode is titled Vasilevskiy’s perfect StormI would think so. If not I'm pretty sure it's on soundcloud. It's one of the few hockey podcasts I listen to regularly. It's pretty much that, Puck Soup, and sometimes 31 Thoughts.
Chris Ryan did a good job of explaining potential tiebreakers with LA for whatever it's worth. We won't 'win' a tie with the Kings if we each have 70 points. We could if we each have 71, if the Kings win in regulation or OT.

Great. Can ignore the tank brigade in LA tonight.
what an end to that canadiens and maple leafs game.
Just imagine the griping if we had lost that stupid game in Sunrise and the Kings lost their game anyway.
Listened this morning. Great listen and I'd recommend it to anyone. Loved the part where he talked about Jones and implied he passed the eye test until he started breaking down some of his goals and that he watched the last 100 goals against Jones, as well as other playoff bound team starters. I even noticed a lot of what he was talking about with goalies in Luongo in this game.Since we're on the topic of goaltending, the PDOcast had somebody on talking about goaltending recently that I would suggest listening to if you're at all interested in goalies.
They're gonna be bad for a while.man **** the kings. they better not win picks 1-3
Unbelievable.
Kings are looking like they might win this one.
I guess the defense is really helping Quick out tonight.
EhNightmare scenario could be Kings and Rangers both moving up to 1&2 and both teams falling into those positions because of the game last Monday.
Hiring Willie D is a tank move. Playing Quick at a 55-60 game pace (only accounting for when he was healthy and not the time he missed) with the year he was having, despite getting heavily outplayed by the other two goalies that spent significant time there this year was also a tanking insurance move. And now there's even rumors and speculation that they're going to look to trade him and I don't know how they do it after him having a season like that and still having 4 years left.After we won I knew the kings would win. There were few more blatant tank attempts over the past several years than theirs this year. Had we lost, they would have lost like 10-1.
What did the Kings do that makes you think they were tanking?After we won I knew the kings would win. There were few more blatant tank attempts over the past several years than theirs this year. Had we lost, they would have lost like 10-1.
