smart-ish twitter people seem to think he has a fractured ankle or heel. both of those seem like really stupid things to continue playing on if so

Okay so I'm curious, in the ducks game last night I kept noticing kesler and maybe bieksa? Holding guys down on the ice in the ducks zone. Is that not illegal because it sure looks like bullshit to me. I mean I'm a ducks fan and all but Perry and kesler are reallying pissing me off with all there cheap shots and bullshit

things are only illegal in the NHL if you get caught doing them. and luckily for Ryan Kesler, 90% of the refs ijn this league are willfully blind when playoff time rolls around

You see that sort of thing sometimes in the regular season, but when people talk about playoff hockey being a whole different sort of game this is the stuff they mean. Most penalties get called less but I would place good money that interference calls decrease in frequency more than almost any other penalty.

It's 100% illegal, and you will never see it called ever.

Oh, so when you guys talked about "The Darkest Timeline", you meant "Pittsburgh wins the East and either Anaheim wins the West and everything sucks or Nashville wins the West and loses to Pittsburgh and everything sucks".

I dunno, I don't mind the idea of a Pens Preds final. Plenty of teams I'd prefer over the Pittsburgh again, but the idea of a deep offence and good goalie (with a broken, poo poo D) going against a deep D and good goalie (with a broken kinda poo poo offence) doesn't sound all that bad.


Or we have Ottawa and Anaheim and :suicide:

Yeah but Karlsson is also being pumped full of the best painkillers and gets professional sports massages and poo poo. Athletes get a lot more ways to alleviate pain than we do.

On the other hand, you get to see Bettman probably get the most vocal booing of his life unless say Philly won.

Sens are practicing today. Seems to me like slamming the barn door after the cow's already getting scraped off the tracks, but I've never coached a hockey team. Shouldn't they have been perfecting ways to get around the things Pittsburgh's been doing the same way Sullivan had his guys practicing how to take advantage of an AHL defense all standing in the neutral zone and a goalie who can't find his posts? Or is this me just being idealistic again

Which Sen was it that ended up leaving the zone to help set up the third Pittsburgh goal?

Somewhere, Sergei Kostitsyn saw that and either applauded or had a terrible flashback.

That was Bobby, kicking it blindly where he thought a Sen was instead of clearing the zone 2 feet away :v: Hoffman's giveaway on the 1st goal was worse, he was standing basically on the sens blue line but passed it back inside their zone to a Penguin

Not sure what practicing a powerplay is going to do facing elimination, especially with the catalyst of it not being on the ice

The fluff piece has some nice hidden gems like:

quote:

He recalled Tampa Bay’s inaugural game, when Chris Kontos scored his third of four goals. Only one fan commemorated the hat trick by tossing a cap onto the ice. He was then tossed out of the arena by an uninitiated security crew. (The team’s general manager, Phil Esposito, found the fan outside, took him back in and bought him a beer, Crisp said.)

Best part was right here:

quote:

Harden reflected on Nashville’s evolution during a recent drive with his wife, Paige. He flipped on the satellite radio to the NHL Network, where a caller from Alabama, in an accent thicker than Harden’s Texas twang, wanted to talk not about Rinne or Forsberg, Ryan Johansen or P. K. Subban, but about the team’s third defensive pairing.

True fact, no team that got blown out in Game 5 of the ECF to fall behind 3-2 has come back to win the series since all the way back in 2016.
