I'm suffering condolences. i'll never forget playing in a game during the wings-avs series in 08. i forget which game it was but it seemed like every time i came back to the bench someone told me franzen had scored again lol

way back in 2009 when the wings were still good, i was walking out of joe louis arena with some friends, one of whom was a massive michigan fan despite not having gone to the school. He started jawing with some ohio state fan nearby(they were both wearing school colors to a wings game??) and it turned into a full on brawl. i didn't get home until 2 hours later than i thought because i had to give statements to the police. like wtf people

the wings split starts between osgood and hasek in the 08 regular season. they chose hasek as the #1 going into round 1 versus nashville. he was fine in the first two games but got lit up in 3 and 4. so with the series tied 2-2 babcock went to osgood. iirc he made some comment about how usually if you switch a goalie in the middle of a round you are hosed. osgood proceeded to have his best ever playoffs and the wings won the cup. this has been red wings history

how many teams have even won a cup in the post lockout era without a top 5 pick on the team? i know detroit did it but that was absurd luck with datsyuk and zetterberg

Jamwad Hilder posted:It's not necessarily a NHL scheduling thing, sometimes it's an arena scheduling thing. Generally speaking, arenas host a lot of other things besides just sports, and not every team owns it's own arena. Teams/arenas will try to keep certain dates open in case they make the playoffs, and they're certainly probably one of the highest priority tenants for many of these arenas, but there's always the chance that stuff has already been booked in advance. That's it. I think it depends on how big the competing event is as well maybe? Janet Jackson had a concert at the atlanta hawks arena that was pushed forward a day because the Hawks staved off elimination last week

i think most of the "this is the year" chat stems from the fact that the bounces actually finally seemed to go Toronto's way in the tampa series That and the best team in the league was no longer in their way Canes/Cats ECF is gonna be sick

Lessail posted:espn sure would be mad if the best two players in the sport continued winning. they'd be incensed. furious. espn cares about the american audience because thats where the channel is broadcast. the playoffs are already a disaster for them; at this point the best bet for them is probably stars-vegas and florida-carolina. TNT i'm sure is thrilled that their first final has so little juice personally i think McDavid in the final would be Cool and Good, though

Just a total nuisance i remember one of the wings championship VHS tapes- i think it was the 97 one- and they had Larionov on talking about how Scotty is actually great and he's sad that no one gets to see the fun side of him. Now, that hits a bit different after hearing that his daughter's were driven to eating disorders by his insane parenting expectations.

the athletic had a general "panthers from awful franchise to competent again piece" which had some funny bits but this took the cake:quote:There were sweetheart sponsorship deals that included ridiculous clauses, like building a pool at a sponsor’s home. Jordan Zimmerman, a minority owner at the time, had his name put on all 8,689 seats in the lower bowl as part of a marketing deal for his eponymous advertising company. It was supposed to be a one-year deal. A dozen years later, his name’s still on every seat.

so... is bob a hall of fame goalie if he wins the cup? I always forget that he has those two vezinas. the only other goalie with multiple vezina trophies(modern criteria) and a cup who is not in the HOF is Tim Thomas

So Maurice coached the canes in the finals in 2002. thats a 21 year gap between finals appearances for him. is that the longest by a head coach?

ThinkTank posted:Man I didn't realize the Canes had been swept in the Conference Finals 3 times in a row. Twelve straight losses. i am in fact still bitter about that 09 sweep, because the NHL decided to move the finals up after the wings dispatched Chicago in 5 and the Pens swept the canes. wings were horribly beat up from the ducks series still and the full week off would have done wonders(datsyuk didnt even play till game 5 of the finals) it was absolutely the right business move, a week between the conference finals and the finals would be dumb, but ugh

Eric the Mauve posted:Exactly which 'destiny teams' have won the Cup? I'm not sure what you even mean by that. The 2012 Kings? Yes they were 8th in the West but they were also the hottest team in the league going into the playoffs (and the best team if you believed the fancystats). 2016 Penguins? See 2012 Kings. I don't even know who else you'd even be thinking of tbh. montreal in '93? i was 4 so i have no recollection but the way that run seems to get mythologized ...

Spelling Mitsake posted:Something I've noticed with people who aren't into it: when I bring someone to a local junior game they have a blast. But on tv, it seems I (and everyone here) have developed an accurate understanding of where the off screen players probably are and can follow the play easily. And the newer fans don't have that and get confused. yeah, this is part of it for sure. if you grow up watching the game you have an intuitive idea of where the puck is just based on how the players are moving and reacting. your eyes arent looking for the puck per say, just where it supposed to be, and its usually there. new folks tend to try to watch the actual puck itself and that doesnt really work
