He's arguably the worst goalie in these playoffs though. It's between him, Elliott, and Allen. And I guess MAF, but he's not supposed to be playing.

MAF has 375 career wins and 2 cups.

It was a dangerous hit no one would willingly skate into. But nothing will disrupt your mental narrative that Ovi is a mustache twirling villain, so carry on.

Ovi's no villain, he just plays on the NHL equivalent of the Cincinnati Bengals

No there wouldn't be. A cup is a cup. I bet it's rare that a team doesn't go through another with some sort of injury issue en route to one. It's part of the game. Now if the hit was blatantly dirty or something, maybe. But I didn't see the hit so I don't know.

Ovie slashed Crosby so hard that his 130 flex stick looked like a spaghetti noodle, then Niskanen cross-checked him in the head as he fell. Was it dirty? Playoff hockey, friend.

FWIW Niskanen said in the post game presser that he wasn't trying to cross check him "that hard"

a false posted:

as has been covered numerous times already, he was trying to give him a shove which is standard operating procedure for players who are in front of the net and his head rapidly declined into the area niskanen's hands were, which is extremely obvious when you watch the video

Well, since I was there and saw it happen, the slash knocked him over, and the cross check that Niskanen himself admitted happened as he was falling. So, sorta?

One day I hope that we'll be able to watch hockey games even if we're not at the arena instead of having to listen via radio. Maybe one day we'll even be able to see multiple camera angles and it'd be really swell if they could replay stuff and maybe even slow it down so we can see what happened.

Alas we are not that technologically advanced yet and must rely on the word of the upper class who can watch games in person.


oh and some people think that dave lozo tweet is real lol

Listen, generational wealth goon, this contextless video that I watched on my Macbook combined with my magical ability to impose intent to the players is a much better vantage than your undeserved seats along the glass lol

You look at Phil Kessel, and it just boggles the mind that this man who looks like the Ur Goon stumbling around skates, half-tripping until until he reaches speeds that just seem to defy the laws of physics relative to his body type -- chasing pucks, red-faced and trying to meekly forecheck, wheeling around like a kid on figure skates, lurking in the slot while desperately trying not to topple over forward while he fumble fucks around with the puck on his stick. It's fascinating watching how fast he somehow gets into his shooting motion, and unleashes that wrist shot.

I just can't get enough of him.

i feel you, either they don't actually realize he leads the playoffs in scoring or they actually do know but still think he just doesn't look like he's trying hard enough out there.

He's been turning the puck over a lot, so bitching about him has a little merit

One argument would be, how amazing would he be if he wasn't out of shape, put effort into forechecking and backchecking and wasn't relying only on his raw talent to make the puck move fast and be sometimes weirdly ignored by defenders

Who even cares about his body type or fitness level when he has that shot? It isn't calculus that he isn't suited to being a 200', 2-way player, and any time he attempts something defensively is just gravy. Who even has a prettier shot than Fat Hotdog Guy? Ovie?

I know the games are played on ice and not on paper, but I honestly don't see either East team beating either West team.

As long as it's not the Ducks, I will be happy. Maybe not like, Imma go to the parade and be happy right away happy but eventually happy for them.

Well, Pens are clearly going to win this series, no way back for the Sens. Stick the :fork: in them.

Much like the Sharks beating the Oilers 7-0 and the Oilers beating the Ducks 7-1 the Pens got this series all locked up. No need to play Game 6.

Is this like reverse juju or something? Idk if the Sens are done, but it sure isn't a good sign when you let Ollie Mattaa score on you in consecutive games. I mean, come on

Just lol if you think the pens have had a disadvantage due to officiating in this series.

There have been tons of bad missed calls on both sides and it's frustrating for everyone to see poo poo get called or not seemingly at random, but have you watched these games?

Yeah, but the refs essentially handed the Sens the game tonight. Good teams overcome bad calls, so if they don't win 7 they they didn't deserve it. That doesn't make tonight any less b.s. tho
