It's going to rule when the Blue Jackets suck again next year, sort of like the Panthers did this year after they were mysteriously unable to continue "being really lucky"

the panthers suck and all for sure but their problems were very definitely not a Mystery this season. they were quite apparent pretty much every step of the way, from Huberdeau's extended absence and constant injuries elsewhere to the musical chairs going on with the power in the front office

calvert needs to be suspended at least 2 games, not for justice because I know the NHL doesn't care about that, but to trigger the mechanism inside Torts that brings out the demon and make this series a sports entertainment trainwreck

you should be required to elbow someone this hard and viciously if you are going to elbow them. if you can't live up to the beauty and rawness of this elbow, you should get a penalty for putting on such a weak display of elbowing. god drat i love this elbow

that first one is described as "a stiff body check" lmao

moose definitely never would have received an inferior elbowing penalty in his career. he was going for the kill 100% of the time. i hate the man but i respect the elbows.

pens d corps starting to show the cracks we were all expecting sans letang.

i think maatta looks especially bad, and i'm getting more and more pessimistic about his overall outlook. he's disturbingly slow for a young guy and if anything it seems like he's making worse decisions with the puck as he gets older. his career WOWY's don't look great and it's looking more and more like he might turn into a bust

i would even be open to sitting him and playing gaunce instead for gm 5. normally i would just say shelter him, but we really don't have the depth for much sheltering at d

ancient ron hainsey looks like he has a quicker burst and a better top speed than olli maata

I missed the game tonight due to work but the only defenseman who I've noticed to be bad a lot is Ian Cole. Though Maatta is pretty slow and is probably getting exploited because of that.

my observations as a dumb hockey person are that tonight it seemed like all of them except for the ever superior Justin Schultz was getting beaten to every puck and every corner and every battle by the BJ forwards and it was making it very hard for their forwards to hold the line, and a lot harder than it needed to be to get the offense moving in the other direction

Honestly, I'm just done after tonight's game. I felt positive going into the game, but I stopped watching after it was 4-0, and seeing it end up 7-0 just makes things worse. All those positive feelings are gone. That was the worst game the Oilers played all season, and it's beyond frustrating when the Oilers had been the better team in the series, could've been up 3-0 if they didn't fall asleep in Game 1, and instead now they're tied 2-2. But there's no chance in hell they're winning another game in this series. They're done. Stick the :fork: in them, they aren't coming back.

At least we made the playoffs, at least we won 2 games, and at least the Flames still suck more than we do. Now hopefully Chiarelli does some work in the off-season to make us better, because this team isn't going far the way they are right now.

Congrats on your series win, Sharks fans.

I remember sneaking out of bed to come downstairs and watch the 3OT game between the canucks and flames in 2004 and waking up all normal the next morning. now I start getting tired during the first intermission of a game and overtime is usually the signal for me to go to sleep. getting old stinks, especially in the context of hockey.

If the Caps lose after out shooting the Pens every game in this series that's a pretty hefty choke. I expect they'll come out guns blazing and win game 7 like 5-2 or something though. I don't see any reason it will be too different from game 6 really. The Pens are just out of gas and outclassed.

not nearly as hefty a choke as if the completely unquestionably Shook pens choke away a 3-1 series lead

Ginette Reno posted:

It's hard for me to consider it a choke when the Pens are lucky to be up in the first place. The past two games are the bounces finally correcting and rewarding the team that has been controlling play all series. Turns out getting out shot in in 11/12 playoff games is not the most sustainable way to keep winning. Who knew.

luckily the Rules of the Sports Choke are not up to you and if your team loses, it will be a failure and a choke. your attempts to escape this miserable future are futile. succumb and accept darkness, fan of reigning stanley cup champion who still might win the series
