Re: The NHL Thread
That was basically the Stanley Cup Finals all over. Even when the Rangers were up 3-1 I said to my parents "Wow, I hope the Rangers just get a point out of this." The Rangers are still not really able to handle the top of the west.
Also, sorry to our local Kings fan (and sort of Rangers fan), but I really despise the Kings more than I ever thought possible. Kings are 100% my most hated team in the NHL now. I even took pleasure in the Devils beating them last week. I would rather see the Flyers win the cup at this point. |

But in the end, I like talking more about who I would LIKE to see win rather than who WILL win. I know, how selfish, right? But in many cases it's hard to determine who should win a particular award. I mean, with the Norris, do you go for the point getters (Karlsson), or the staunch defenders (Suter)? So for me, I just like to identify whose game I like the most, and then give them accolades for it. And you know me and my tastes, so it should be no surprise I like Larkin's game more than Panarin's. Not a knock on Panarin, just preference. To me, that's a more fun conversation than predicting who actually will win what is in all actuality, a pretty meaningless award. |

Re: The NHL Thread
The thing that might keep Panarin from it, is that the writers will look at who he plays for. "The Hawks make anyone look good" will be the argument. No matter how unfair that might be, we know it happens. It's like coach of the year. The Presidents Trophy winner rarely gets it. It's usually the coach of a team who sucked last year and is good this year or just a team that was expected to be worse than they actually were this year.

Re: The NHL Thread
isn't Panarin like 69 years old?

Re: The NHL Thread
Kronwall could be back Saturday and Howard might start. Both are surprising. Wasn't expecting Kronner back so soon and assumed Mrazek would be healthy (was ill last night) for tomorrow. Howie has played well recently and looked calm and collected last night. The best he's looked since early in the season. If he leads them down the stretch, whether they make it into the playoffs or not, it'll be interesting to see what happens in goal. I still think they keep Mrazek over him. Youth will win out but Howie playing well could help trade value so a positive there too.

For example, I'd love to see what the Calder talk would be like if Max Domi played for the Hawks, Rangers, etc. instead of the Coyotes. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I don't really think the market a player plays in factors in all that much. I mean, the last 5 winners have come from Colorado, Florida and Carolina. Not exactly huge market teams. Colorado, kinda I guess.

On the plus side it is great for the game to have a crop of rookies like we have this year. Reminds me of 2007 when you had Kane, Backstrom, Cogliano, Toews, Staal, Lucic, Dubinsky and Price all making immediate impacts |

The ice time stat... eh. It's a few seconds behind Larkin and still at 16 minutes a game. On a Dave Tippett-coached team that loves to roll lines fairly evenly, that's about right. And that should make his point totals all the more impressive. I wouldn't put him in my top 3 rookies this season, but he's right up there. The point I was making is that I think playing for a team like the Coyotes has kept him out of a spotlight he'd probably be more in if he played for a larger market team (and was playing at an equal level). |

So that is what getting 2 points feels like, I had almost forgotten! Very classy homecoming for Ladd between the video celebration of his time up there and then again the fans were on their feet cheering when he scored. Good day all around so far from my perspective, only thing I am not happy about is finding out that Seguin is going to miss the rest of the season with a partially torn achilles tendon. |

Yeah, the Avs are a pesty team. The are not all that great but could conceivably give a good team trouble, maybe drag out a series to 6 or 7 games or even win - though they don't have the talent to make any sort of deep run IMO. Hell, I would rather face Dallas in the first round, their defense is not very solid at all, their goaltending is hit or miss on any given night and lastly you will be facing a team who will just be getting Seguin back from injury so you really cannot predict how effective he will be when he comes back. |

What the fuck is this horeshit. Not that it won't mean much but come on refs, you sucked all night and this is just a kick in the nuts

Re: The NHL Thread
Thanks Pens. Now Wings need to do their job tonight. Won't hold my breath though with how inconsistent they've been.

Re: The NHL Thread
Horrible game to lose.

Re: The NHL Thread
:lol
Get home, turn the game on for the 3rd period, and the Canes lasted a magical 14 seconds before giving up a crap goal. Not like them. Oh well, basketball it is. |
Re: The NHL Thread
....what???
We put in Brodie Sutter, who has played less than 10 NHL games, to take a shot in the shootout. He lost the puck without shooting barely past the blue line. I don't understand. Skinner has not gotten a chance to shoot at all in any shootout I've seen. That's just wrong. Let your best players win the game. Quit putting minor leaguers and Chris flippin' Terry on when it matters most. Argh. |
Re: The NHL Thread
I take back what I said yesterday, Rangers are a first round out. Even if they are not, this west cost trip was another reminder that they can't hang with the west at all. Horrible trip.
Man this team is frustrating. |
Re: The NHL Thread
This team is so bad right now. Even if they make it into the playoffs, it'll be over fast. They just lack confidence on both sides of the puck.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
This team is Jekyll and Hyde. I'm happy to have the lead now but the way this team goes...the bad one might come back.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Wow. Again, thanks Pens. Wings up 3 on Flyers but still has 2 in hand but that's a huge 2 points. Now let's go Isles on Monday.

Oh good. Neuvirth out the rest of the regular season. Now I'm not saying he or Mason are Lundqvist. But for the Flyers he's arguably been the better of the two goalies this year and the Flyers have like 12 games left in 5 days. So we're f'ed.

Re: The NHL Thread
I dunno, I'm honestly kinda digging the idea of Rags/Pens in round 1. That way I know for sure I won't have to play both of them. Losing today helps that happen.
Not that I really want the Caps to lose, but I guess I wouldn't be too upset if they do |

Here's some shots from last nights Kings/Bruins game. Got a new camera and was testing it out. Some are better than others, it's difficult to shoot thru the glass.

Re: The NHL Thread
I hope to god Weber gets 3 games and played his last game as a Cap. Him and Schmidt looked beyond lost today.
Entire team didn't show up at all for that game. But like Barbs said I would love to play the Isles, Wings or Flyers in first round. Let Rags and Pens beat each other up in the 1st Caps have given up the first goal in 15 of their last 18 games. Not worried right now. Team still hasn't lost 3 in a row or 3 games over 5 games all year. Next 2 against Senators and Devils are just what the doctored ordered Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: The NHL Thread
big game tonight. Isles have had 2 home games in the past month. Our offense needs to get going.
