Another Bill posted:Bruins coach just said Bergeron might not be back this series. I heard a rumor it's COVID, anyone else hear that? They had him give a speech in the locker room before game 1, so probably not.

Montgomery was specifically asked whether Bergeron's game 2 absence was illness-related and he said no

Is there even a COVID protocol any more? Or is it treated like any other illness and you can just play through it if you're physically able to?

Cernak has already been ruled out of Game 2, Hedman is apparently a game time decision. Maybe murdering all of Tampa's D is the Leafs' plan.

Bergeron has been dealing with some kind of injury for a while, in addition to being sick with whatever is going around the team lately. He came back for the last game of the season against Montreal, potentially before he was fully recovered and it got worse. He's from Quebec and apparently wanted to play what could likely be his last NHL game in Montreal in front of friends/family who could make it, and of course the Bruins aren't going to say no to him because he's one of the greatest Bruins players of all time.

"non-COVID illness" is also a great way to prevent the opposing shitheads from learning which body part is injured. e: f;b

You can just say "central body injury" for that. grack posted:Cernak has already been ruled out of Game 2, Hedman is apparently a game time decision. It's a good plan but I hope winning games is also part of the strategy.

Chicago has announced that they're not resigning Toews regardless of his playing status. Brandon Sutter hasn't played since the entire Canucks team got COVID in the spring of 2021, and I don't even think he's skating yet.

ThinkTank posted:It annoys me sometimes how bad commentators are at making clear that teams employ certain structural formations on the ice. The diamond is a short form for the 1-2-1 pk set up generally with a centre high, the left side defender and a winger around the hash marks and the right D down low. This is to contrast it from the box or 2-2 with is two forwards high and two defenders low. There's also the very aggressive triangle or 1-1-2 with a forward up super high pressuring the D, then the other three penalty killers tight to the net in a triangle formation. All have their strengths and weaknesses and powerplays are focused primarily these days on getting those structures to collapse by pulling it too far to one side or the other. I always thought it was funny when the old NHL video games were deploying deep hockey strategy stuff in the coach settings that really didn't make any difference because the AI was so bad. It was like initiate the left wing lock? Uh sure, i guess thats what my AI teammates are doing. I love when they do the above/behind the net cam during a power play. It helps people understand how they open up pass lanes during a power play and how the defenders work to shut them down. That's why i like sitting behind the net about 10 rows back if i go to games too. Fun stuff! soggybagel fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Apr 20, 2023 |

It's like going to see a movie in the theatre now; it's to show you more ads. Took my kids to see Mario last week and it was 35 minutes of ads and previews after the "show time" before the actual movie started. Also, Mario movie owned.
