Here's hoping for a Preds-Caps SCF where the Preds win the series and Forsberg has the GWG in the final game

According to the super strict rules they can only do it if his head hits a player or the ice. What a loving shitshow. Why do we watch this sport again? I wonder that sometimes. Sure it's fun, but at what cost?

flakeloaf posted:Wade Belak was a fairly high profile guy. I didn't even know that Montador had retired, much less died, until I'd read about it. Belak is nowhere close to as big of a star as some of the NFL guys who have had their lives ruined or even ended by CTE, though. People like Junior Seau, Mike Webster, Pat WIllis....they were all Pro Bowlers, and were greatly affected by CTE. Plus there have been stories in the AP of High School football players committing suicide because of it. Hockey players need somebody of like, Messier magnitude to step forward and it seems unlikely right now. Nissin Cup Nudist posted:Grant Fuhr worked because the Oilers could always outscore the other team, no matter how many they gave up Oh most, certainly. But I think he might be the least deserving Vezina winner ever. Of the 12 goalies who got Vezina votes, he had the 2nd worse SV% and 3rd worse GAA. And he not only won but ran away with it because he won 40 games.

ThinkTank posted:The 03/04 Avs casually added Paul Kariya and Teemu Selanne for peanuts each just because they could (too bad they had David Aebischer in net). The pre salary cap days were pretty cool if you supported a team that could afford a $95M payroll, but sucked for everyone else.

They're called "intangibles" cause they involve guys who never touch the puck.

Chad Sexington posted:I said it in the GDT last night, but I'm not sure the Penguins even want to win at this point. Especially after that tumble Crosby took into the boards, pieces might start falling off their dudes if they had to play another dozen games. This is basically how I feel about the Sens. Sure, they could probably beat the Rangers in one of the next two games, but at what cost? Karlsson's foot is going to fall off if he has to play another ~12 games, and they don't go anywhere without Karlsson. For the greater good and Karlsson's well-being, the Sens need to throw the next two games.
