Playoff Hockey Thread part 2.

I think some of the posters asking about coaching tactics and strategies should follow Jack Han. He has some videos like this as well as retweeting others. Gives nice insight into various tactics, etc.

[joshjull]

How did Gibson lose the puck on that so badly?

[Aladyyn]

Vatanen is not good.

Getzlaf is a stud. Ducks-Pens finals please, those are clearly the two best teams. I want to see Getzlaf and Perry vs Malkin and Sid. Kesler trying to lock down Sid like it's the 2010 Olympics. I want to see if the Pens can be the first team to repeat as cup champs since the 96-98 Red Wings. If the Pens do repeat then Pittsburgh>Chicago when comparing their mini dynasty's.

And Laviolette is a turd and disrespectful punk. I'll never hope a team he coaches wins another cup. Watching that smug jack ass win one undeserving cup was sickening enough, no way do I want to see a second. And if yet another team established in the 90's wins a cup before Buffalo I am pretty sure that the Sabres will never win a cup until the team no longer exists. We've already had the Ducks, Hurricanes, Lightning and Avalanche as teams established in the 90's that have won cups already. We've been around since 1970 and have a measly two runner ups to show for it. Imagine a 10 year old kid in Buffalo back when the Sabres were founded. He'd be nearly 60 today with only two losing cup finals appearances where we lost in 6 games. That makes me feel real bad for anyone who was around back in 1970 when this team came into existence. I don't think I'll see a cup win in my lifetime and I was born in the mid/late 80s.

I was a youngish lawyer who jumped at getting seasons when the Sabres were formed. I had more excitement then than anything recently. I share in 4 seats now instead of buying 4 myself and I just keep hoping I see a Cup in Buffalo before I shuffle off this mortal coil. Or at least beat the Leafs in a playoff series....

That tweeter should have actually said 3 out of top 4, not 3 out of top 5.

Man, look how far ahead of everyone else Karlsson is. What a player.

Pretty sure he's playing hurt, too.

The stuff about Ryan's role changing this season and his learning his new role impacting his offensive production during the regular season was very interesting.

It's why questioning a player's impact without knowing stuff like that can make proper critique hard.

I hate Phaneuf and the Pens, but how was that not a hit to the head?

I hate Phaneuf and the Pens, but how was that not a hit to the head?

It was the initial point of contact, without a doubt.

NHL player safety will take care of that.

i htought it was a good hit, kept arm tucked and chest looked like the first point of contact

 

[jc17]

Both feet left the ground and it looked like the head was the primary point of contact.

 

[joshjull]

The Pens have taken a beating this year.

 

[oldgoalie]

What a ******** trip call.

 

[ZZamboni]

I hope Nashville and Ottawa advance. Tired of the same teams going to the finals.
