the NHL Thread

[silverwheels]

Ugh, fuck Pittsburgh.

 

[silverwheels]

haha WTF Lundquist? amateur night

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Caps fans deserve nothing but a sack of disappointment shit.

 

[kella]

Caps always make bum ass Bonino, who looks like a Fazolis employee, look like fucking Mario Lemieux

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

These guys need to stop with the fake fighting and really drop the gloves.

I laughed at this much more than I should have.

Same. To ask extent, I know it's the pot talking, but that was legit hilarious.

 

[kella]

They might as well give Bonino the 66 when he plays the caps

 

[kella]

He looks like Andrew Luck, which sounds like and is an insult

 

[DeadMan]

Same. To ask extent, I know it's the pot talking, but that was legit hilarious.

To ask extent enter nutopia lexicon.

 

[silverwheels]

He looks like Jon Lovitz got plastic surgery to look like Andrew Luck.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

This game is going to get very ugly.

 

[silverwheels]

I don't know what just happened but it was crazy.

 

[Simo77]

Why in the world did the ref whistle that? Unless they're calling delay, the puck is still loose.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

It's really too bad Mike "Game Over" Green isn't with the Caps anymore. Bonino would have had four goals by now.

I was literally screaming this just now. Girl came out asking why I'm telling at "this stupid game".

 

[Karl Hungus]

Fleury

Officials lost sight of the puck?

 

[kella]

The caps can make any goalie look like playoff Roy

Haven't Caps, during the Ovi era, been scored on during a 3 on 5 PP during the playoffs?

 

[sayo]

Fleury playing like Nichols right now.

 

[Simo77]

Officials lost sight of the puck?

I'm positive that's the official reply but it was pretty plain the puck bounced almost a foot off of Fluery when they blew it dead. Considering he waited earlier in the sequence I couldn't believe he finally decided "this is enough"

 

[silverwheels]

Fleury coming through in the clutch. What a time to be alive.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Enjoy the WMATA death ride back to Vienna Caps fans.

 

[kella]

Wow seeing the replay that was a horrible call. He is standing right there when the Puck rolls under backstrom

 

[sayo]

I still can't get over that quick whistle there with the loose puck in the slot and Fleury without a stick.

 

[Irishman]

Aks me about an extent.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

Playoff hockey brings out the best of me on social media. An exchange with some dipshit I went to HS with that blows his load in a Tampa 2:

 

[Irishman]

I think the Flyers out-shot their opponents in probably 80% of their games. They're golfing now.

 

[TonyGin&Juice]

I think the Flyers out-shot their opponents in probably 80% of their games. They're golfing now.

The "they had more shots" argument is just idiotic. The Caps were hoping for a lucky bounce and didn't get it. That's their style of play and it works well for them during the regular season but if they play like that these next three games Ovi gonna be blowing loads in Russian hoez instead of trying to sharp shoot through screens.

 

[goblue96]

Flyers also had swinging gates in goal as per tradition.

 

[Simo77]

Was a really good game overall. Caps pushed pretty hard in the late 2nd and 3rd period and I could have easily seen them win. Then Flash Orpik decided to Cap real hard. I still hope this series goes the distance. I know they won't but the Caps gotta sit Orpik.

 

[kella]

If they sit him they have to play Chorney, unless Alzner is really 100%. Honestly, I don't know why after getting Shattenkirk their plan wasn't to use him as Orpik's replacement instead of keeping Orpik around. It's baffling.

Maybe they'll draft a D man on Saturday

 

[kella]

They outshot them 35-21 while passing up easy shots for fancy passes. Probably should have been more like 45-21, and they'd probably have another goal too.

Don't get TROG trapped on that shite bossman. At least 15 of those 35 shots were when Sieve Fleury was flailing around like a beached whale before the ref blew it dead.

 

[silverwheels]

Fuck it, I'm going all in on the Oilers bandwagon.

 

[kella]

One thing I like about NHL is how much better they seem to be at evaluating talent

"Hey this guy [Ovechkin, Crosby, Subban, McDavid, Matthews] is a generational player" almost always seems true. I'm trying to think of some tremendous busts from the past decade or so and can't come up with much. How many clown ass bitch maids are drafted in the NFL who just suck the whole fucking time despite tremendous collegiate success?

lol Johnny Manziel

 

[sayo]

How much of that is the difference between the games though? CFB is almost an entirely different sport. Same can be said for CBB. I'd imagine hockey between different levels translates better. Then again, I could be totally wrong since I don't watch anything other than the NHL when it comes to hockey.

 

[kella]

Haha, that goal is straight out of NHL 17

 

[sayo]

Love that shit just floating off his shoulder.

 

[kella]

What is Diddler thinking?

 

[Simo77]

Nashville having a Utopia game. Leading in penalty minutes 19-0

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Flyers also had swinging gates in goal as per tradition.

damn straight. Won't change until we sacrifice a virgin to the hockey gods.

 

[Southpaw]

Seems fair.

 

[kella]

This game is kinda boring tbh fam

Scouting in hockey definitely has improved since the turn of the century, because there were a ton of guys in the 90s who busted hard.

 

[Southpaw]

This game sucked man. Fucking bullshit penalties. 5 power plays to 0. Ok sure.

 

[MrShotgun]

Allen got some ugly ass leg pads

 

[kella]

Damn, Preds getting hosed.

 

[Southpaw]

Turrible. Im definitely no hockey veteran but I've never seen a playoff game with fucking 5 power plays to 0. Fucking nuts. Whatever. Gift win.

Excited to watch the next game though. I love the way both teams play.
