Rinne plays so much better compared to in Pittsburgh, it's so loving weird.

Like a 5 g/avg in Pittsburgh, I'm not smart enough to understand it, and I'm expecting a Preds win tonight. I just don't get how he's SO bad in PGH. Does the confluence mess with his mind waves?
I'm just assuming he has put money on this series going to 7 and plays like poo poo in Pittsburgh

It's supposedly a lot better than it used to be. I remember five-six years ago reading complaints about it after every game.

So, how many power plays is a goal worth? Like how many would you trade a goal for? There's got to be some number. It's probably more than 3, but I feel like we're getting to the point where the bad calls in the Preds favor are soon going to even up on the really bad whistle.

I still don't get why people think that was interference on Rinne. I can see nothing in the rulebook that says a goalie can't contact a player in possession of the puck.

He kinda grabbed at him. Be one thing if he just shouldered him but he had the whole free hand (glove?) thing going on there.

Divide one goal by the team's power play conversion rate (as a decimal).

That many.

In this case the bad call directly and unquestionably cost the Preds a goal, so the answer is, as many PPs as it takes for the Preds to score.

e: but once they do they'll start calling tickytack penalties against the Preds so it doesn't look so bad on the scoresheet, because lolnhlrefs.

All I have to say is that it is 0-0 going into period 3 of game 6. I really want the Preds to loving pull this off, but goddamn hockey rules either way.

Don't be too surprised if the Preds get a 5-on-3 around the halfway mark if they haven't scored by then.

Sidney Crosby's first NHL coach was Ed Olczyk. That lasted about 3 months and then Olczyk was fired and replaced with: Michel Therrien.

That Crosby developed into the best player in the world anyway is the surest proof that he is one of the best ever
