Playoff Hockey Thread part 2.

Ask the people that say Sullivan is a great coach. I would love to know if Pittsburgh has the worst post season possession stats of any cup team?

Weren't their possession stats good against Ottawa and Columbus? They were only dominated by Washington, and they were missing Crosby for half the series on top of an already battered blue line. I don't think there's a team in the league that would have great possession stats if they had to endure the injuries the Pens have this post season.

The 1st and 2nd rounds they were at the bottom. Caps series was really bad, but like you said injuries. Ottawa series they dominated possession wise. Nashville will probably dominate the Pens possession wise.

Makes sense though, Blue Jackets, Caps, and Preds all better possession teams than Pittsburgh in the regular season. Ottawa was one of the worst of the playoff teams.

And common sense prevails!

Kuntiz being the dbag he always is.



Can't call that a "hockey play"

 

[joshjull]

Fisher with a very dumb penalty

 

[Sabre Dance]

Woooww

 

[oldgoalie]

Slick move and a nice goal.

 

[Sabre Dance]

No thanks on Maata.

 

[joshjull]

Maata going to the room to extinguish his jock

 

[Buttons85]

Maatta gets burned again.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Preds see Maata out on D, smile, attack and score!!

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

It should be 2 - 0..... Murray flopping around in the crease leaving entire upper net exposed.........

 

[jBuds]

I think Maata can hold his own in the neutral zone. Good spacing. But once he's in his own zone being attacked, it's ****ing chaos. His body language screams "Myers slump"

 

[jBuds]

Ugh Rinne. Ugh third chances

 

[joshjull]

Look at that mane on Dino.

 

[joshjull]

Jake is feeling it.

This series has been a snooze fest this far. No better than the Ottawa series. Hm.. Perhaps hockey in general has lost a lot more entertainment value than I thought.

Agree. I was thinking the same thing as both teams were trying to out NZ trap each others a few minutes ago.........

 

[joshjull]

They are pounding the crap out of each other.

there's been a ton of great games in this year's playoffs. these 2 first games of the final haven't been very good but it's often this way, players are injured and weary physically and emotionally, they're kind of just hanging on. series get better as they go along usually.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

McCleod wins bonehead of the year award as far as I am concerned. Two shifts this period. Almost a penalty on the 1st and definitely a penalty on the 2nd.

I agree to a degree. I'm just sick of the clutch and grab hockey that's crept it's way back into today's game. Post lockout hockey was phenomal.

 

[Sabre the Win]

If Pittsburgh wins back to back Stanley Cups with Matt Murray standing on his head like he's doing this game... He's going to get paid like a king.

 

[joshjull]

Wonder if this would even be a series if RyJo was playing. Preds have dominated play in both games without him.
