The pens D had trouble accounting for columbus' D being so aggressive offensively. This makes sense, as it was do-or-die for the jackets, but it's unsustainable for an entire series - as it's too risky -Even for "safe is death" torts. This game was an anomaly, the pens will win the series, And Mitch McConnell will remain majority leader of the senate as evil continues to reign.

Should be Karlsson's. Tampa didn't make the playoffs,Burns has a better supporting cast, Karlsson is more important to his team and is measurably one of the biggest difference makers in the league

It's not the hart. Hedman had more points and fancier of stats.

But I agree that karlsson is more instrumental in his own team. Although hedman was the only good defenseman in tampa this year.

The reason I hate Crosby so much is that he's shoved down my throat every minute of every game all season and post season long. Crosby could get concussed game 1 and that's all they'd talk about all season.

Watching the pens lose their #1 defenseman and #1 goalie and still march on in the playoffs against the caps is kinda like when Nixon finally got impeached, and the ford just went ahead and pardoned him.

caps have a 9.5% chance of winning game 7


teams with a 3 - 1 series lead have a 268 - 28 record in the playoffs

that means 90.5% of the time the team with the 3 - 1 series lead ends up winning the series

caps have a 9.5% chance of winning game 7

I, of course, cribbed that lovely stats post from hfboards. But what's scary is that all this Justin Williams game seven talk reminds me of the henrik lundqvist/rangers game seven records right before the lightning clowned on them in game seven. Almost like...like stats are bullshit. Bullshit!

Why can't people just call interference and pick plays? It's super simple to just not allow defenseman to grab a hold of forwards. And it would cause defenseman to pivot and chase the puck, which they are gonna lose many times, and lead to offensive opportunities. Also, why do kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

Because it leads to guys flying into the offensive zone too fast. The pick plays are a safety measure.

It leads to worse hockey but this is a legit problem with the sport. Not sure what the solution is short of removing contact entirely.

Haha. No. Not all are dumps. They bounce it off the wall adjacent to the defenseman. This is 100% the refs not wanting to cal everything. But that has historically already happened once (in 2005/2006) they just allowed themselves to be lax again. It's totes a decision, and they could do it.

Also, in the "stupid loving idea" department. My idea to fix the league is to call intentional icing when a defenseman is unable to keep the puck in the zone, and then is under pressure by the opposing forwards, so he dumps the puck in and the team clears the zone. If you make the defenseman play the puck, it would lead to mistakes. Get this idea to the gm table. Asap.
