So plowing headfirst into the boards is totally OK compared to your head bouncing off the ice. Yeah, OK.

Being two-handed in the back of the head knocking you unconscious isn't the causal factor, the brain damage was all the ice's fault.

Obviously I'd prefer for the Pens to win tomorrow and then stumble their way into a repeat, but realistically it seems pretty unlikely with their level of play and the weird grey stuff dripping out of Sid's ears.

Even if the Caps eliminate the Pens, I'd still want to seem them beat whoever makes it out of the Atlantic. Ovie is cool, Kuzy is cool, and even though I hate them all right now, I still kind of like them. A Caps-Preds finals would be pretty awesome, but at that point I wouldn't really know which team to cheer for.

for being as good as they are the ducks have like no fans so there's nobody to defend them and pump up any cool players they have while everybody else only cares about them when a team they're rooting for plays them and they're like "oh yeah gently caress corey perry, and ryan kesler too while we're at it"

I hate the ducks, but Rickard Rakell is pretty dope. I just hope he gets away from that toxic team before he becomes a pile of poo poo like Kesler or Getzlaf.

The Pens were already pretty patchwork at best coming into the playoffs, especially on the blue line, and with MAF turning back into playoff MAF it's not hard to see how Washington's finally got things going their way.

B) are Caps fans

I didn't know how to play Darts until I was like 27 and I literally learned watching the "How this poo poo works" demo they did at the start of each condensed episode. Then I was hypnotized by the whole thing, heard the chants, saw the costumes, and wanted to buy a dartboard so I could play The Darts, the home game.

They need to post those one-hour shows on YouTube if they're not going to air them because I don't have time to watch all the way through. :(

yeah i've grown to really "love to hate" perry in particular. everything about him is so hateable but he's so effective. he's like an uglier, better hornqvist

i also am deriving unexpected pleasure from old man getzlaf's shining dome being manlier than widdle connowh

Yeah, they play the heel really well. Domi one-punched kesler and the ducks haven't done anything dirty to my team this year so I can just laugh at all the stupid poo poo they do and take

I've always held the opinion of gently caress Sidney Crosby, he's a whiney rear end bitch who was still crying to the refs last night just like every other game he's ever played. But I don't wish brain injury on any athlete, let alone Sidney Crosby and I feel there are legitimate questions that need to be answered by the league and the Pens about his head first slam into the boards and why the concussion protocol wasn't activated.

'98


e: and poo poo, the '08 team was better but they didn't win so gently caress em

If the '08 team wins the cup, they are possibly the greatest Wings team of all time, or at least first equal with '02

wings won in '08, lost in '09.

Preds > Caps > Oilers >>>>>>>>>> Pens >>> Rags >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sens

My experience of watching the Caps has been them taking better care of their more dangerous chances, which means they aren't shooting from stupid spots on the ice as much with a little bit of "Holtby looks like a guy who's in Vezina contention again" and a little bit of "they learned where to shoot on MAF".

I haven't seen a lot of MAF goals where I'm straight up thinking "that should not have been a goal opportunity, what the gently caress are you doing MAF?". Last game was a parade of goals that were high side glove though.
