fits posted:the last time the detroit red wings missed the playoffs, the edmonton oilers won the stanley cup The last time they beat the Flames 4 times in a row, the edmonton oilers won the stanley cup. What worries me is the only teams currently in the playoffs that have ever knocked them out are the Flames and Blackhawks, both of which they'll probably have to go through.

It's a shame Nashville couldn't beat winnipeg to kick the flames over to the other half of the bracket so the oilers and flames could meet in the western finals. Once again, the jets disappoint hockey fans.

Hand Knit posted:It's been a while since I've looked this up, but I seem to remember that the Oilers were legit one of the best teams in the league, and it had just been masked by running a Conklin/Markkanen pairing for most of the season. They were definitely a much better team than Carolina. They were pretty middle of the road. If you look at all their top scorers were Hemsky, Horcoff, Stoll, Torres, and Pisani all peaked in that regular season, none of them ever matched their point total from that season, even the ones who escaped the vortex that was the oilers management of that time. Even roloson barely had a winning record in the regular season. e: http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?agg...s,goals,assists Their top scorer was 34th in the league, behind 4 red wings, 3 thrashers, 3 senators, 3 sharks.

Yeah, they weren't completely terrible, but nobody on the team would be on the first line of the real contenders. It was a group of average players who clicked for a season, 2 goalies who suddenly got hot, and 1 who bet on the Hurricanes. Use that same tool for GAA, Roloson is 18th at 2.73, Conklin 22nd at 2.8, and Markkanen 40th at 3.13. Get into the playoffs and suddenly Roloson goes 2.33 at .929, gets injured, and Markkanen goes 2.16 at .905. Conklin's stats accurately reflect his play, at 0.667 and 10.71 GAA.

Wippersnapper posted:Everyone seems to be forgetting that today Vancouver will light up the Oilers for a dominating win, destroying Edmonton's confidence and probably injuring McDavid's feelings so they get blown out in a 4 game series. More importantly Vancouver will go from 29th to 27th and lose the lottery to draft 7th, and trade said draft pick for some under performing 23 year old high draft pick or maybe just tough guy and strong playoff performer Michael Ferland. Who is president in your timeline and how are you posting in ours?

Hand Knit posted:To my mind a reasonable GAA combined with a piss awful save percentage is indicative of a team that's pretty darn good at limiting shots against. But the difference between Conklin's and Roloson's save percentages and GAA suggests either there was a different team in front of them, or they were in very different games. At the end of the day, for the team, GAA matters more than save percentage, and is a better indicator of team performance, where Sv% is a btter indicator of goalie performance. Talbot has a poor GAA, but every once in a while the team completely leaves him out to dry. Back to the original point, in 05-06, Carolina was 2nd in the east, Edmonton only beat out the Canucks for 8th by 3 points because the Canucks only won 2 of their last 8 where the oilers were able to win 4 of their last 8. They only had 41 wins to the Canucks and Kings 42, but made the playoffs thanks to 13 overtime losses.

Ginette Reno posted:That article mentioned the NBA ratings were down too. Yeah, if it's one sport stopping someone from cutting cable, they'll stream it or find somewhere to watch a game here and there. Younger generations are realizing cable TV is garbage. You pay $100 for a thing that's 35% unskippable ads to watch a show when they say you have to watch it, when 80% of it is free online the next day? naw. hell naw. pro sports are probably the only thing keeping a lot of people connected, and they can't keep everybody.

JoelJoel posted:Well, better hope a cable company never obtains exclusive rights to the content you want. Though I'm sure there's some kind of commission in place that would prevent such a prevented marriage or interest. I'm in canada, that's already a thing. The big 4 already own all the stations that license the american content. Rogers(think rogers center, rogers arena, rogers place) owns sportsnet who has all the NHL games. If you have a cable sub, you can log in with it to watch the games online for free, if you don't, it's $25 a month for streaming of their channel. It's not bad, you get every single hockey game for your local market, and maybe 50% of the out of market games aren't blacked out, and every single blue jays game. It's $18 to add all those channels to your existing cable package, so if hockey or blue jays baseball are all you care about you can pay $100 less on the cable bill and $7 more for the sportsnet thing. TSN, owned by Bell(think bell center), still forces you to have a cable sub, but getting somebody with a cable sub to set up an e-mail for you on their account is good enough.

Gio posted:i think even if its hotbrains, letting a guy off the hook would set a really awful precedent He wasn't let off the hook, he was suspended for 20 games and fined 500 grand. This is the ref tryin to get paaaaaaaaaaaaaid. The lawsuit failing isn't going to tell players it's okay to hit the refs, it succeeding based on anything other than wideman's intent is going to tell players that they can be sued for any interaction with the refs. Mouthing off Tim Peel could cause emotional distress deserving of financial reparations. I'm not defending what he did, but both him and the ref decided to stand in a dangerous place doing a dangerous thing. That's why they're both wearing helmets. He should be able to expect that he's not going to be checked by a bonehead, but should also understand that he has taken a job where it's possible it'll happen. Also, If his brain was scrambled and the zebra looked like a penguin, it's not like he went out and got drunk before doing.
