HootTheOwl posted:I honestly think this is the year the Wild and the Caps finally live up to expectations. I mean, statistically how many times can the Wild lose to the Blackhawks, or the Caps flame out in the second round? The wild are 1-3 in the season series against chicago. caps are 2-2 against the pens with with 35 total goals in those 4 games, 2-2 against the jackets with a game tomorrow for the season series. A caps-pens series would be some good ol' timey hockey. It would be nice to see the caps win it there in 7 and be dead tired for the Canadiens coming from the other side of the bracket. Then Canadiens win there, oilers on the other side, oilers win the cup, habs fans burn down the city.

Schlesische posted:You know the Oilers fans will burn down Edmonton as well in this scenario, yes? No they don't. When the oilers lost in 06, everybody was still having fun and getting blackout drunk. It was kinda a sadder atmostphere, but it was still a celebration, almost like a wake.

iospace posted:Probably will be 1st to be eliminated though. Have you watched a sharks game lately? In their last 10 games, the oilers are 9-1-0 with wins against both Anaheim and San Jose. San Jose are 2-8-0 with losses to Anaheim, Edmonton, Calgary, and Nashville, one of which they'll play in the first round. The bracket again sets up the battle of alberta and the battle of ontario, but a couple hilarious scenarios exist now. Calgary is only 1 point behind San Jose, and nashville is only 2 points behind, so if they continue their slide, calgary could kick them down to the first wildcard slot, putting them up against the leaders of the pacific division, the edmonton oilers(ooh that feels good), and nashville could knock them down to the second slot kicking them over to the other side of the bracket with the Blackhawks and wild. edit: if the panthers win all 4 remaining games, the losers of next saturday's Sharks-Flames game will face Chicago in the first round.

So does it start out as "i'm an idiot, i should be a referee" or do they start out as regular functional individuals and just get broken down into scrap parts by their job?

Kalenn Istarion posted:You need a certain kind of psyche to not break when every shithead in the peanut gallery thinks their 6 beers gives them better judgement on plays than your decades of experience, so maybe? I don't know. When there's a rule where you're not allowed to slap another player in the face with your stick and someone slaps another player in the face with their stick as they're skating away, judgement doesn't seem like a huge part of it. When each team is only supposed to have 5 skaters playing on the ice and one team goes with 6 for a bit, that's more of a math thing. I give them the benefit of the doubt on the judgement calls, but 6 is more than 5, faces don't start spontaneously bleeding. It's frustrating that important games can't be consistent. Teams do dumb poo poo and the refs let it go until it's completely out of hand, then completely crack down to the point where it feels like acting inconvenienced by a tap or tug can win you the game. grack posted:If you ever want to have a deep and abiding hatred for humanity start officiating children's sports leagues.

Does....does this not happen at your job? glynnenstein posted:Reffing is really, really hard to do well at the speed the NHL game happens. Next time you're at a game anywhere near the glass, stop and imagine that you have to see the whole ice all at the same time. It's not so hard to see a lot of what's going on from up high and you see everything on TV, but it's impossible on the ice and it's why refs miss things and the fact that they don't miss more is astonishing. I've reffed kids and beer league stuff and it's not hard to see what's going on because it's slow, but even then you still miss poo poo and everyone will ruthlessly let you know. But like Todd Mclellan said, it's fine when they don't see it, the problem is when they see it and don't call it. when there's a guy skating away on a breakaway, it should be easy to see that he was hooked enough to pull him off the puck or slapped in the face with a stick hard enough to bleed. When you see the whistle come up or the arm start to come up and nothing happens, it's frustrating.

if the flames go 4-0-0, the oilers and ducks 1-1-2 and the sharks 2-1-0, we get a 4 way tie in the pacific at 100 points.

Imagine having your career ended by the loving canucks. Speaking of canucks and the end of careers, If you combine the Sedins, they have as many goals as Mcdavid but 10 fewer points. Powershift fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Apr 3, 2017 |

It sucks that Mcdavid won't win olympic gold for 20 years, but i'm comforted in knowing Marchand never will. Retirees and prospect olympic competition sounds fun, though. Ryan Smyth passing to Jaeydin waznitsky-macdonald for the gold will never match crosby to mcdavid , but whatever.

Pittsburgh are probably going to rest some of their better players, so the leafs might be able to lose one in overtime.

Stretch Marx posted:The only bright spot on missing the playoffs is the fact that we came from 30th last year to almost do so. I'm super impressed with the rookies for the most part and can't wait for the dead weight of the older management groups to be finally shed for picks or something. The oilers were only 1 point ahead last season, clinched in march, and are fighting for 1st in the division. Also interesting: The 15-16 30th place leafs had 22 more points than the 16-17 avs have right now. Maybe not a fair comparison because the avs could win their last 3 games and aaaahahahahaha. The worst goal differential last year was -52 for the canucks, the Avs are currently at -109.

Kilza posted:Oilers are only 1 point away from getting home ice advantage in a playoff series for the first time since 1991. Also, unless Mcdavid goes scoreless in 2, and crosby scores 5 points/game or Kane scores 9 points/game in the remaining games, It's the first Art Ross for an oilers player since Gretzky in 86-87. He has to have the Hart on lock too, first for an Oiler since Messier in 89-90. Oilers are back, baby!

Brain Curry posted:I didn't realize the NHL doesn't have neurologists actually on the concussion subcommittee. This should have been obvious when the concussion spotter pulled mcdavid when he hit his mouth, and then touched his mouth to see if it was bleeding, but leaves every guy who gets punched in the head 15 times out there.

Wait, the Leafs haven't even been to the finals since they won the cup? drat. Maybe that's why their fans aren't that into it, they don't remember what it's like Drunk Canuck posted:Auston Matthews is the best rookie since Lemieux, confirmed. That's also from the era of gretzky scoring 200 points/season. Between him, Laine and Carter, it's been an amazing year for rookies. It's disappointing we were robbed of a full mcdavid rookie season.
