GDT: SCF Game #6 Avs vs Bolts: How bout "Obstructing our way to a Game 7 one crosscheck at a time?” Edition

[Boris Zubov]

The way he suddenly threw the glove off and grabbed his bicep, I got flashbacks to a torn biceps tendon. Could have just cramped really bad from an awkward fall, but the way he panicked like he did, I’d bet he felt that pop and the muscle roll up/down away from the tear. Just a hunch.

Did you ever get that fixed? I remember it was bothering you pretty badly a few months ago.

Tampa pushing, throwing players to the ice when they enter their zone... no calls.

sport has fallin in my eyes

People say Laf reminds them of Huberdeau, to me Landeskog 2.0 is the closest comparison

I’ve thought this exact thing before. That’s who he should model his game on at this level. Landeskog is listed at 6’1 215, Laf at 6’2 196. As he fills out, I’d love to see him playing Landeskog’s game and style.

It's pre lockout, obstruction filled, slog bullshit. No entertainment value whatsoever

Same thoughts here. Didn't see a skate make contact with him. When you react that way, it's either completely torn or it is severe cramps.

I didn’t have surgery, I wore a sling for about a month, haven’t used the arm for much besides holding the baby. It’s still super sore with a bit of a restricted range of motion, but it seems to slowly be mending.

How the hell do you lift weights with your arm in that condition?

 

[Anthony5967]

I can’t stand Tampa but are people literally always going to bitch anytime a team shuts down another team’s speed and high octane offense? Tampa is putting on a masterclass on how to check and defend. So they should play to the other team’s strengths and run and gun and allow 5-7 goals a game? How about Colorado gets their nose dirtier? This is what Tampa did to us and people laughed at us. Suddenly it isn’t so funny. Colorado’s offense is supposed to be godly.

I haven't touched a weight in 3+ months because of my wrist/hand injury. It f***ing sucks.

No they shouldn't, they should do what gives them the best chances of winning.
Don't confuse not enjoying the spectacle with not understanding why it happens

 

[will1066]

I can't wait for this times they are a changing commercial to end

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

This is what Tampa did to us after game 2/3. They're doing the same to Colorado.

The more I see this series, the more I think the Rangers wouldn't have beaten Colorado for the simple reason that the Rangers wouldn't have played the way Tampa is. Heck, the Rangers didn't adjust when Tampa did this to them.

I'm not taking away from Tampa's defense, but they are mugging players... and nothing is called, and then they call that invisble play off Hedmans rush? It's BS.

But you're right, you have to adjust and play just as gritty and take the game to them when they play that style.

That original tip was sick.

It's a masterclass because they can interfere in the playoffs.

Well if you keep up what injured your wrist to begin with, you could go blind, or so I've been told.

 

[17futurecap]

Kuemper almost went full Mike Smith there.

Tofu heals all wounds

Linesman needed to wave that icing off.

You smother tofu on the wound or injured site or something?

 

[LokiDog]

I haven’t done anything with this arm besides lift the baby really.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

1st round of the playoffs was extremely entertaining. But when the chips are all on the table the game just reverts back to skating in a tar pit. I hate how the rulebook is enforced completely differently as the playoffs go deeper.

 

[FultonReed]

Tofu heals all wounds

literally just cut a piece of it and shove it into the wound, it'll be extremely efficient. i promise.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Why the hell does somone have a weekend at Bernies cut out behind the bench? LOL





Tampa commits a penalty on almost every play. Vomit inducing.

I think about EdJova thinking about Kravtsov
