I like how all three of the Wild, Jackets and Flames are down 3-0 in their series but Calgary's odds are more than twice as bad as the other two.

Still better than android clock

Coaches beaking off at each other over/through the glass between the benches
Coaches flinging crap on the ice to protest awful calls
Coaches cutting short their postgame comments with a Marshawn Lynch impression
Coaches getting fined for not doing that
Coaches saying stupid words their players get force-fed the following night on the ice

I love slap passes and really hilariously slow saucer passes that somehow get through anyways and lead to goals. Also bank shots. I love that Crosby and Guentzel use them so much. Lemieux was the master of them though. He'd be in the goddamned corner and would intentionally bank sick shots off the goalie.

I also love a good elbow. I'm not a Messier fan but this is one of my favorite youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEgp-URw070

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I like teammates standing up for teammates. Jared Boll holding Jordin Tootoo accountable when he took liberties with Jason Chimera and Jan Hejda in the previous CBJ/NSH game or Matt Calvert taking on Rick Nash after Nash blasted :cop: in his first game back to Columbus. Neither were dirty, just "You have wronged my fellow hockeyman in the past at some point and now we shall be punchmans for a moment".

I like mic'd up players and coaches and we don't seem to get enough of that.

I guess I should've clarified there's a line between what I described (in which nobody gets anything beyond a scrape or sore knuckles, which I'm OK with) and somebody getting run like Steve Moore or this:

I love how the commentating is always "That's a great hit and he had his head down" when the clip is some dude launching himself five feet through the air with his elbows up. Back in the good ole days you had to take off your skate and stab someone for it to be called dirty.

Lipstick Apathy
A thing I saw earlier today in an article about the Pens - since the line of Crosby / Guentzel / Sheary came together they've combined for 19 EV (non-EN) goals over 14 games, which is a pace of like 110 goals over a full season. Obviously nobody is going to keep up that pace, but still. drat.
